I just can't root for dos anjos. Against anyone. Same feeling i have for Colby and Tyron. Understandable. They aren't high on my favorites list either. |

It sucks that Romero missed weight. First by a pound (please correct me if I'm wrong), then by 0.2 lbs. I heard it was the commission who stopped Romero from cutting more after an hour, which he was given an extra 2 hours. The fight is now non title. They really need to do something with all these fighters missing weight. I know Dana wants to go back to the later weight ins, but i dont think thats the real solution. Something bigger than changing the weight ins needs to happen.

Something bigger than changing the weight ins needs to happen. His 2nd fight in a row missing weight. 2nd straight title fight he's blown. I NEED to see some backlash the same way people freaked the  out over Dern. I don't care if it's .2 pounds or 27 pounds, missing is missing. Where is the "force him to move up shit"? 2 fights in a row, he is now a habitual offender. |

Where is the "force him to move up crap"? 2 fights in a row, he is now a habitual offender. As much of a fan i am of Romero, i 100% agree with this. If you're a repeat offender of missing weight, you move up. Not only did Romero miss twice in a row, but it was in two major fights. The first time vs Rockhold, it was for the interim title. Now it was for the actual title. Romero should move up. |

Can't believe Romero missed weight. Again. IMO, he shouldn't be allowed to fight Whittaker, even in a non-title fight... he can't make the MW weight.

The Punk fight was embarassing. Jackson had plently of opportunities to finish Punk, but decided to play with Punk. Gotta give Punk probs for going for it, but hes done

F***, F***, F***!!!! Anyways, Colby fought more aggressive with his advances. I can give fighters i dislike credit where its due. Looks like i gotta root for Colby for one night when he faces Tyron. At least Colbys sorta funny to me. Tyron mainly sounds like a b**** with conspiracy theories.

Whittaker got lucky. He had the worst strategy I've ever seen. Stand there and get whacked in the face.

Man, that's really tough to score... you could make a case for Whittaker or Romero - or a draw.

Whittaker vs. Romero was a great fight, if it was scored a draw i think nobody would have been shocked. Holy Holm looked great in her fight, she needed a bounce back performance.

Yeah, that was a great performance... I'd love to see her fight Nunes next. I don't. 2-4 in her last 6 fights. She doesn't deserve it. Not that anyone else does. That division is a crapshow. Nunes would kill her though. More I retested in ketlan viera or Juliana Pena if she ever comes back |

Now Bisping's out of the title picture, I really didn't care who won that fight - but that being said, Whittaker didn't win that fight. What rankles more, is that Whittaker is now the undisputed champion, despite the fact he didn't actually beat the champion - or anyone else, for that matter, for the belt... it was basically given to him. Also, I don't care if he was "interim champ" - this interim champion concept is rubbish... you're either the champion, or you're not.

Nunes would kill her though. More I retested in ketlan viera or Juliana Pena if she ever comes back Let's look at those losses though: - Tate: who she was comfortably beating, before the takedown/submission in the last round - Shevchenko: a decision loss to a very underrated fighter (who arguably beat Nunes in their title-fight) - De Randamie: at 145 (not her natural weight)... a very close fight - which a lot of people (including me) thought Holm won - Cyborg: again, not her natural weight... and there's no shame losing to Cyborg. Holm actually won the first 2 rounds too Not to mention: Holm is the former champ and when she wins (Ronda, Correia, last night) she looks great - it's probably the biggest (and most marketable) fight out there for Nunes. |

Well, the undisputed champ (GSP) gave up the title, so what else could they do but promote the interim champ to full/undisputed champ? (he did beat Romero for that title originally). And even if the fight last night was for the vacant title, Whittaker would still be the champ. |

A loss is a loss..4 losses in 6 fights should not ever be rewarded. And that Tate fight was gonna be a draw. She definately got a 10-8 round in there. |

A loss is a loss..4 losses in 6 fights should not ever be rewarded. I guess we'll just have to disagree. Holm has looked great in her last two fights at 135 - and Nunes isn't exactly inundated with challengers. |
