Wow. I can't believe that. Like he would just stop moving and lay there in the middle of a fight.
Other news:
Oh shit son, UFC booked Madison Square Garden for a December show. You already know that will be a Ronda Rousey vs Cyborg card. Probably Weidman vs Jacare and JJ vs someone as well. No way you can't put your two NY champs on the card. Shit Uriah can be on it, Neil Magny if he stays hot...fuck bring back Phil Baroni, I'm sure some people in NY would love to see him get his ass beat. Costa, Iaquinta, Bermudez... Dana going to STACK this card, NY has a good hometown MMA base man. Haha looong ways off, but man the thought of what Dana would do is exciting.

What really got me is when George gets off of him and is talking to the ref and the ref is still like "Hmmm still not sure, better look closer"
Good thing he didn't just keep holding the choke.
Rhonda haha, seems like she would be a cool person to know personally.
Rockhold's been good for awhile, but I think gets overlooked because of the KO by Belfort. I know he wants to rematch with Vitor Belfort, too. All the middleweight contender hype seems to be on Jacare Souza, but Rockhold already beat Souza.
I was surprised by Paige VanZant. I felt like she was riding the hype train to hurtsville, and even though her fight was sloppy, I was almost sure Felice Herrig would just be too strong/experienced. I guess I'll have to watch out for those tiny blonde girls from now on.

Hopefully both Souza and Rockhold get their title shots soon
It'd be about damn time.
I dunno if VanZant should've got a sponsorship over standing UFC champions, but whatever. What's done is done, and corporations are just greedy bastard machines that favor looks over substance, so I totally understand.
Heh, it was interesting that Felice Herrig's direction with her trash talk leading up to that fight was basically that VanZant wasn't a real fighter and woulda got crushed on TUF, etc, etc. This is coming from "the Selfie Queen." Seemed like Herrig drank her own kool-aid. I still think VanZant is a bit over-hyped, but she has all the tools she needs to be a star. Too bad she hangs out with team alpha male so she's probably going to become a bro pretty quick.
Rockhold should definitely get the next title shot. I was on the Jacare train, but I was also on the 'machida gonnna whoop dat ass' train and that shit derailed HARD. I would like to say that The Chris will smoke Rockhold, but I must admit that Rockhold seems like he could beat anyone right now. I'd easily pick him in a rematch with Vitor.
Rampage is such a great personality, at least when he keeps his head clear and isn't being nuts. He was absolutely great in those vlogs leading up to the fights, and his post fight speech was pretty awesome. I'll try to find it and embed it, but he talks about slapping fans and it turns into one of the funniest things I've heard a fighter say. Also included is the post above. I don't know if it will start where I want it to, but skip to 4:50/55 area.
edit: Horiguchi watches fishing videos to calm himself before his fights. I'm big into fishing. I love MM, but HORIGUCHI FIIIIGHTING RAWR! This isn't an "I called it moment" if he wins either...MM so gewd :o
does the UFC go more than a week without bringing up Tyson?
so Rampage's previous nickname was Mike Tyson, Chad Mendes is teh Mike Tyson of the featherweight division.. and Rhonda Rousey is they Mike Tyson of women's MMA.
Mighty Mouse just went out and did his thing. I think Horiguchi got rushed into a title fight too soon, though. I hope Henry Cejudo gets a couple in before fighting Johnson!

LOL
Maybe it's Dana's way of saying 'Fuck You' to Mayweather making all that money making his fighters ask for more money?
