Anyone watching the UFC tonight? That Sanchez/Pearson fight had probably the most egregiously bad scoring by judges in a sport that's dominated by horrific judging

[Porter]

That decision was an embarrassment.

[Hammer]

finally got around to this, because i hadnt finished watching the show til this afternoon. i had it 29-28 to pearson... it was a close fight, but the fact that anybody on this planet saw that fight as all 3 rounds for diego, is downright depressing. but, bad judging is nothing new.

[Hammer]

just got in, and got my stream on... just in time to see the 3rd round of woodley/macdonald. seems like i didnt miss much on the main card, aside from maybe that osp kimura. hopefully mouse/bagautinov is pretty good.

[Hammer]

well that was boringly one sided. im sure dana will say mouse/dodson rematch, since thats the only guy in the division that might be able to beat him.

Holy crap, are there any drugs Chael wasn't taking. Apparently tested for HGH and EPO

[Hammer]

mel guillard... still a beast. nick newell and gaethje was intriguing to say the least. i had never watched newell fight before... him throwing combinations with his nub involved is fantastic. its kind of hard to protect with only one arm though.

looking very forward to 5 hours of fighting tonight now... caceres/faber on the undercard, struve/mitrione, davis/rousey and weidman/machida.

oh, and jon fitch is still the most boring person on the planet.

[Hammer]

urijah faber on the undercard just seems off... especially since this fight seems much more important/relevant than brimage/doane and hall/santos on the main card. plus his walkout music is awesomely fitting.

[Hammer]

faber is so huge at 135. i was actually impressed with caceres in that ifhgt, but faber just ragdolled him with all those takedowns. wore him down.

[Hammer]

rousey is ridiculous. i wish theyd tell me the official time... im guessing about 25 seconds, tops.

16 seconds... yeesh.

Straight up insane. UFC needs to get Cyborg so Ronda is either challenged or shows she's unstoppable and should be fighting the dudes

[Hammer]

fun fight, i had it 4 rounds to 1 for weidman. round 1, 3 and 5 were clearly weidmans, round 4 was machidas, round 2 was kinda close... machida outstruck him for about 3 and a half minutes, but not by that much... then weidman had the late takedown with some ground and pound. it shifted me to weidman, maybe a judge or two couldve given it to machida. but i cant see him getting the decision on the fight.

49-45, 48-47, 49-46 for weidman. i guess judge 1 gave weidman a 10-8... not sure which round it couldve been. and judge 2 probably gave rds 2 and 4 to machida.

Perhaps being a movie star will go to her head like it did to Gina Carrano a little.

Or she's not human, and is the real cyborg, and will eventually punch the face off someone.

Didn't know BJ was fighting at 145 now. That shit is crazy.

[Hammer]

never shocked me, he was always chubby at 155. i love frankie and bj though, should be a great fight.
