Great card tonight, Looking FWD to Rousey vs McMann , Cormier vs Cummins Anyone think McMann and Cummins has a chance? lol.. I think it'll be a great card as well. I'm VERY much looking forward to it. And do I think McMann and Cummins have a chance?? You better believe it. I think they have more than a chance. I'm pretty confident they will both win. Both fighters are undefeated and that makes it a dangerous fight for both Rousey and Cormier. I see nothing funny in picking either McMann or Cummins. I think they both have a GREAT shot in winning. And if you are a betting man like me, go with the underdogs. The payout will be HUGE.

^ Hey man, you win some and you lose some. Can't win 'em all. When you are betting, those are the risks you take. Cormier blew right through Cummins. That was pretty impressive. Maybe Cummins would've done better had he had more time to train for the fight instead of 10 days notice. He stepped up, you at least got to give him that. Props to Cummins for taking the fight on short notice, but that's what you get from a more experienced fighter. And Rousey, well, I'm at least happy she won by different means instead of a friggin' armbar all the time. I personally think it was a quick stopped by in' Herb Dean. He didn't give Sara enough of a chance to at least try to get back up, which you can clearly see that's what she was trying to do. Sure, she was rocked but she wasn't out. No way. Quick stoppage by Herb Dean. And how about the WAY late stoppage by Herb Dean in the Mike Pyle fight. Come on, that was WAY ing late!! What the was Herb waiting for?? That should have been stopped much earlier. Herb Dean was a good referee. Not anymore. He stopped Faber's fight last month WAY too early too!! Faber got ripped off by Herb Dean. That was such a sh*tty stoppage. I think Dana White better put Herb Dean under the microscope and start getting on his case for these recent BAD calls as a result of a poor referee. Anyway, it is what it is. And if what I read on Sherdog is right, Rousey better watch her ass because Cyborg is hell-bent on making 135 and determined on coming to the UFC and kicking her ass. The ONLY way Rousey will remain undefeated is if she avoids Cyborg. I think we can all agree on that. If they sign that fight, Cyborg will crush Rousey. I can't see Cyborg being the underdog in that fight. Not at all. For a card not looking that good on paper, I thought it was ing awesome!! I enjoyed the hell out of it. Some fights didn't go the way I was hoping, but hey, that's the fight game for ya. We all make bad calls and picks from time to time. It happens. Awesome night of fights. Enjoyed them all!! Out of 5, I'd rank it 5. Great, great card!!

i agree with you on Herb Dean , he was really off tonight, i think he got his ass ream for that Pyle fight, and thats why he called it early with McMann.
Yea right now no one in the womens division can handle Rousey. And Cormier just made Cummins look like compelte trash..lol. Back to the coffee shop..

^ I don't think you or anyone should write Cummins off that quick. He was given a tough fight tonight and it certainly didn't go the way he had planned. I say, give him another fight and see if he's deserving to stay in the UFC. If that one turns out the same way or worse, then it's time to send him packing. Give him one more fight to be fair. To see if he truly has what it takes to be in the UFC. Don't write off Cummins just yet. He had a bad outing in his first UFC appearance. He deserves another chance for stepping up and taking a dangerous fight on very short notice. If I were a current UFC fighter, and after seeing this string of bad calls by Herb Dean as of late, I'd be VERY weary of wanting him as a referee for any of my fights. He's made 3 straight HORRIBLE calls within about a month. Due to his sh*tty officiating, he cost Urijah Faber his shot at the belt for one of the WORST stoppages I've ever seen, he was WAY ing late in stopping the beatdown from Mike Pyle to T.J. Waldburger, and he stopped the fight between Rousey and McMann too early!! Why the didn't he give Sara McMann the same chance as he gave Waldburger earlier on in the night?? He gave Waldburger EVERY chance in the world and then-some and stopped it WAY late. But later on, he stops another fight too early. I would NOT want Herb Dean calling any of my fights in fear he might rob me out of all the hard work and dedication I put into a fight. I feel terrible for Faber, Waldburger and McMann due to a sh*tty referee. Herb is horrible. You can't deny it at this point.

That was such a sh*tty stoppage. I thought the Faber stoppage was premature - but this (Rousey/McMann) one seemed OK... if you watch the slow-motion, McMann didn't start trying to get up until the ref had stepped in. I think she would have just absorbed more punishment (similar to the Josh Barnett/Frank Mir stoppage really). And yeah, Herb's been a bit off his game recently - but he's still one of the best refs in the business... I mean, it must be a pretty hard job stopping a fight at just the right moment. Cormier looked great... a fight between him and Jon Jones would be pretty awesome.

^ I just don't know how he can call an end to one fight WAY late, and then call an end to another fight too early in the SAME night. He should've gave Sara McMann the same chance and opportunity he gave Waldburger earlier on, but he didn't. He screwed the pooch there. I just hope he's NOT referee for Hendricks/Lawler next month or I'm gonna be in' pissed!! I'd absolutely HATE to see either one of those fighters get screwed by his bad officiating.

After watching the replay several times, I don't disagree as much with the stoppage as much as I did the Faber one.
The knee that took McMann down reminded me right away of the Silva knee to Bonnar that made him crumble to the mat. Sure, she could have taken more punishment but from the looks of it, that's all she would have gotten.
I can't even explain the Faber one, but I will say I've seen worse stoppages.

I watched the card and here is my thoughts on it.
I'm not a fan of Rousey's attitude. That being said, the girl can fight. McMann was in major trouble after that liver shot. I am a martial arts instructor and fight as well and a liver shot is one of the worst feelings in the world. Put it in mind of feeling like you crapyourself and your legs are just shot. Good stoppage by Herb. Very difficult to come back from that.
Cummins wasn't ready for DC. Good on him to take the fight. Let's be honest that was a showcase for DC as he embarks on 205, but this guy would like to see him against a top 5 before giving him a title shot.
Same can be said about Rory. Maia has still got a lot of work to do on his standup and that made it easier to defend the grappling. I wanna see Rory vs Condit or Woodley before I'm sold on a title shot.
Good win for Pyle. Wonderboy looked solid as well. Pretty good card top to bottom.
