    I thought Hendricks-GSP was the deciding factor. Until Thompson, there was a very convincing argument to be made that he'd been undefeated since 2010.

    Is that the first all female card ever? Was wondering about that the other day. Sucks that I'm IP banned from Taima lol.

    Yea i mean i think the 2nd Lawler fight was pretty clear for Robbie, but thats just me.

    Invicta is an all female organization, this is their 16th event.

    Wow. No clue I missed that. I'd always seen Cyborg killing chicks, but never put it together. Weird.

    Yea the majority of the UFC's female fighters come from or have fought in Invicta, especially the SW's.

    Apparently it was what the Mortal Kombat character she cosplayed as does. She's not amazing, but I've never seen a wmma fighter with more fights on their record.

    Watched a few more Hamasaki fights. She's pretty d--- good.

    Just a reminder EA's UFC 2 comes out this Tuesday (March 15th). It's going to have about 250 fighters in it. Now, yes it'll be similar to the first game with some changes. Don't expect EVERY fighter to have a unique move set but I might have been in the minority of actually really enjoying the first one. Pumped to try out the second one.

    Here's a link to all the fighters...If you click on the fighter it will also give you their ratings and abilities as well...

    Matt Mitrione has signed with Bellator. Spike loves their TUF vets...

    Also Dustin Poirier vs Bobby Green added to UFC 199.

    Mayhem Miller arrested again, this time for vandalizing a tattoo shop. They set the bail at $1,000,000. Assuming its that high because of his ridiculous track record ever since he stopped fighting. Dude is like DMX in his prime(in terms of amount of incidents), assume hes finally gonna face some type of jail time.

    Also Shogun is fighting Corey Anderson at UFC 198, guess his injury wasn't that significant. Also Evan Dunham vs Leo Santos has been moved from 198 to 199.

    Anderson Silva vs Uriah Hall
    Shogun Rua vs Corey Anderson

    Silva vs Hall is either going to be crazy or boring, there's no in between
