    Barao came in on weight and Cummins originally weighed in at 206.8 but made 206 in the extra hour they gave him.

    For some reason I'm mostly excited for the Barao fight. Glad he made weight

    s---, was going to skip this. But if Barao is fighting I may stream it.

    Interesting Machida is in the blue corner?

    K wtf? My stream showed the Cummins fight then stopped and is now showing Barao vs. Dillashaw 1 PPV? Lame.

    I was only interested in Barao & Gagnon, Machida & Dollaway.

    EDIT: Nm switched back to Fight Night. Weird.

    Easy money for Machida, hopefully he fights Rockhold next.

    I want to see Machida/Rockhold... but if Machida wins they knock off a contender in Rockhold. I'd rather see Rockhold fight for the title and see Machida fight Vitor after Weidman crushes him.

    Overall I think this was a terrific card to end the year for the UFC. Great fights.

    Anyone else disappointed in Barao's fight? He won by submission and everything but I don't know, he was taking shots, didn't look quite as sharp and looked like he didn't even want to fight. The Dillashaw call out was forced, his "left and right fist" did not indicate any threat.

    Machida though, wow. I just wish Machida was more aggressive in the first 3 rounds against Weidman, the last 2 rounds showed that he could strike with him well. Rockhold vs Machida makes sense.

    I think that Pokrajac stoppage was a bit quick, not saying he would of came back but he was curling up and it looked as though he was getting ready to roll out or something. I would of let it go a few more punches first, but I'm not a ref, and when you're right there and the way he went down I could see the reasoning.

    Barao I didn't think looked terrible, I feel as though he could and should of finished that fight in the first, but he might of been holding back a bit, knowing that Gagnon has nothing to lose in that type of fight, and Barao has everything to lose, if he gets caught and loses to Gagnon, he'd have an extremely tough time coming back from that. I wanna see killer Barao back in top form fight for the title.

    Machida, what is there to say, dude is a killer, he could be a faber or jds type guy where he'll always(i think he beat davis and rampage to be honest) win a non title fight, but not always be successful in the big one, or win it and then lose it. Love Machida though.

    I didnt think Barao looked bad but i dont think it was the type of performance that made anyone want to see him get the next crack at TJ/Cruz winner. Still think Assuncao is more deserving. Magomedov is a guy who deserves more praise, he was very impressive and Silverio was legit.

    Glad to see I'm not the only who thought Machida won against Davis :emoji_thumbsup: that decesion always bugged me. Karma for the first Shogun fight I guess.

    ^ Machida got robbed against Davis imo (ok maybe I'm exaggerating, but it still shocked me).

    I read Cruz is out AGAIN with ACL injury? If so, Assuncao should 200% have next. Barao needs another fight or two to get his mojo back imo. He seemed a lot more cautious than I would've liked and I dont know that that'd help him with his fighting style. Plus I think he needs to fundamentally change aspects of his style to beat Dillashaw anyway and he hasnt had long enough to do so.

    Right after Cruz announced his ACL injury, Assuncao announced he broke his ankle
