More hype. It'll probably be at least another hour or so until the replay is posted.

I'm almost done watching this, and its awesome. They really get started about 6 minutes in after technical difficulties, and its entertaining as hell.

6 through about 28 minutes is mostly trashing Conor, transitioning into the Conor/Mayweather rumors.

After 28 minutes or so, Nate gets a little more philosophical about how fighters, once they have established themselves, need to treat it like a business. In particular, he calls out Cowboy for being stupid, always willing to fight with little or no negotiation or demands, he thinks Cowboy is underpaid which then hurts other fighters who don't get paid, etc. Lot of interesting thoughts from a guy most people think of as an idiot.

After 38 minutes, talking about Conor again. He was very skeptical that Conor really wanted to fight after 2 months in UFC 200, he thinks Conor has a lot to work on. He kinda understood why Conor would want more time to train.

After 48 minutes, random funny stuff and banter

Pretty sweet card on FS1 Sunday night. Not a lot of huge names, but most of those guys are entertaining fighters.

Thanks for the interview link, Al. Gonna listen on my way home from work.

Main card starts in about 20 minutes, and there are at least 4 interesting fights on the schedule. This is being overlooked because of the PPV next week and UFC 200 is looming in July.

Was impressed with the Collier kid from Cuba MO, ate a killer knee that broke his nose and didnt go down... even came back to win the fight, that kick to the stomach dropped the Brazilian like a sack of potatoes

That was an awesome fight. Most of the prelims were good.

The featured prelim though was one of those terribad women's MMA fights where when you are arguing with a troglodyte who says that "chick fights suck".... that shitty fight between Eye and McMann was what they are probably thinking about. That "fight" was so bad, that McCarthy had to tell both fighters before the 2nd round that he needed to see more effort.

Yep, lame chick fight... "we're good friends"

good lord, these fights have been great so far, and we're only 2 fights into the main card.

alnorth 05-29-2016 08:10 PM

Awesome fight. I have a feeling that they are going to have a hard time figuring out FOTN and performance bonuses for this event.

alnorth 05-29-2016 08:13 PM

fighters beware: Adelaide Byrd is in the house, and she has been on the wrong side of splitting 2 clear decisions now. You better go for a finish.
