Anyone watching this?

I hope they show Richard Hale vs Ryan Martinez on the Spike portion.

Christy Mack, war machines girlfriend, Joe Warren emphatically does not know who she is?  

.....to the google!!!

and fap

Minakov and Martinez advance impressively. That fight has potential. I was impressed with Hale when he fought at LHW, he needs that size and strength advantage. He's been lame since moving up.

War Machine looked good. Thats never been his problem though.

watching the Minakov fight right now.  ohhhhhh as I'm typing so nice.  Their is a shifty mma fan somewhere disappointed

Martinez is a complete wrecking ball.  I'd like to see a guy like that fight a cannon ball like Shaun Jordan.

...and wow, nice smash KO by Martinez.

I agree Martinez vs Minakov should be decent.

for some reason I get the feeling Greg is speaking the truth about Warren

2-0 Noe I guess, I think he can finish Sobral quick if he attacks that chin some more like he did at the end of the 2nd

walking ko

Terrible stoppage, but Babulu would not have won anyway.

Babalu has nothing left. Pretty much Babalu vs. Ninja in a retirement home match.

Good stoppage

Probably a good stoppage. Babalu was looking shot while already being shot. He was not far from being frighteningly unconscious again it was looking like. I doubt he gets any trouble from the commission though for any thing with touching the ref.

and that is it for Babalu. Good for him quite the journey. won't be surprised if he fights again.

I guess Babalu said he retired and did a final bow in the cage. Very good career. He was very good for a very long time. A lot of mileage.

That was pretty brutal

oh my god, what a KO.  That was perfect and powerful.  Nice one punch Walk Off.

Mo should KO Noe

I really should of bet on this card.

Seth tried to play an open guard like Gegard did successfully against Mo..didn't work out to well.

Minakov vs Stipe
Mo vs Thiago Silva

Sweet KO from Mo.

Christy Mack would be really hot if she didn't have those atrocious fake breasts.
