Hey guys, there is a FIGHT NIGHT tonight!

It features a match up I would love to heard Goldie pronounce:
Daniel Omielańczuk vs. Oleksiy Oliynyk

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This has the feel of an old WEC card. I like it.

This Ben Ngyuen guy has legitimately the worst defense I've ever seen.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I want to amend my statement: Ben Nguyen might be the worst fighter I've ever seen in Zuffa-era UFC.

 

[docbon]

Yeah, that got really hard to watch towards the end. Dude was getting murdered in real time if it wasn't for that towel.

 

[Fox318]

WHAT A FINISH

 

[TheChits]

Really nice finish there

 

[Fox318]

how can somebody have 60 fights and be bad on his back?

 

[Fox318]

the reebok jerseys actually having some color options is refreshing.

Are there really people buying Reebok jersey's and shit like that?

 

[TheChits]

Unranked dude doesn't look as bad as I thought he would so far though ... he actually looks pretty damn fun.

Looks like he is slowing down already though.

 

[Yaari]

Wow this fight. Vannata has a fun style.

 

[Macattk15]

Too bad Vannata is gassed or I think he would have just won.

He easily won the 1st round though.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Not sure Cucuy is fighting smart but fuck if this isn't entertaining as fuck.

 

[BigJonsson]

Whoa

Almost a major upset


I wasn't even going to watch tonight but nothing else is on

 

[VoxPop]

Wow awesome fight. Vannata is nasty.

 

[SyNapSe]

That was an amazing round.

 

[Macattk15]

Damn I'd like to see this Vannata on more than 2 weeks notice.

 

[VoxPop]

Amazing shit. Props to both guys. This is something UFC 200 needed badly.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Vannata is impressive but fought like a fucking idiot in that 2nd.

 

[BigJonsson]

I want to see more of that guy

 

[Macattk15]

Vannata is impressive but fought like a fucking idiot in that 2nd.

He seemed gassed out towards the end of the 1st.

Got real flat footed.

Not a bad UFC debut against a top fighter.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

That Vannata guy is someone to keep an eye on. Dude is entertaining.

 

[Heel]

Lando is my kind of fighter. Put on a show, knew when to do the honors.

 

[Macattk15]

This card is better than fucking UFC 200.

 

[Yaari]

Goddamnit those last 2 fights were good.

 

[BigJonsson]

The WME era starts with a bang

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Michael McDonald got picked apart minute by minute by minute by minute

 

[Guru-Guru]

Brutal!

 

[ldcommando]

El Cucuy saw his win streak flash before his eyes on that one. Great fight.

And Lineker hits like a truck. Like, a small truck, but it really hurts you.

 

[Fox318]

Dana White is speaking for Trump at the convention.

 

[Master Thespian]

Dana White is speaking for Trump at the convention.

wow

UFC gets no more of my money until Dana White is gone.

MMA go. He found a Bones.

 

[brentech]

Catching up with last nights card. That Ferguson fight is something else. Kind of surprised it didn't call called when he fell for the third time, he got lucky he was able to grab a leg and regain some composure.

Really interesting article on ESPN, Levito, that focuses on British wrestler and WWE Cruiserweight Challenge competitor Jack Gallagher:

The 26-year-old has a 2-0 record in amateur MMA with two first-round submissions, and has trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for eight years, as well as in boxing and kickboxing.

"If you don't think MMA is influenced by pro wrestling, you've got your head in the sand, and definitely vice-versa," Gallagher told ESPN.

World MMA has overturned Fedor's win over Moldanado or something

Really interesting article on ESPN, Levito,

Since you called me out specifically, I'll respond to this: I never said MMA wasn't influenced by pro wrestling. I said one is a sport and one is entertainment, and that someone like CM Punk has no place in the Octagon when he has no real martial arts experience. The way WWE has influenced MMA is in a promotional and distribution sense. You see fighters like Chael bold face ripping off and stealing lines from wrestlers like Billy Graham(which boxers have done too), and the means in which UFC distributes it's content. Dana and company clearly wanted their organization run in a similar way as opposed to boxing which doesn't really have a league. Good way to ensure your monopoly. And yes, the UFC makes all sorts of stupid gross decisions like giving Hendo a title shot when it's not deserving in the least. But at the end of the day Hendo and Bisping are still going to actually compete in that fight, and the winner isn't chosen by a staff of writers.

Also: here's Jim Ross calling MMA a sport and WWE entertainment. Someone that important to the pro wrestling world making the same distinction I have, oh dear. (not to mention Brock echoing that repeatedly over the weekend too)

Good, Fedor did not win that fight.
