Ah yes, there is also an important football game tonight, too (well, technically, there are two, but I don’t really care about the first), so feel free to discuss that, as well.

The biggest 10-7 in history is when Cruz said some shit on twitter about Peterson never referring one of his fights again and Peterson replied "Don't worry I don't ref the prelims"
If Chikadze wins tonight, for me he'd 100% have the strongest case for getting a title fight. Zombie beat Dan Ige last time around. Chikadze has a chance to beat a guy that's also beat Ige convincingly. Chikadze would be on a 10 fight streak (8 in UFC) and I believe wins over Kattar and Barboza are more impressive that Zombies last 2 wins vs Ige and Edgar. Plus don't wanna see Alex fight a guy who lost convincingly to the guy Alex just beat to a pulp.
Same. Court’s story is awesome and his wall music is spot on. That said Ramiz is from the Bronx. 💪🏻✊🏻 I gotta show some love but my heart is with Court.
Word. When people headed to Central Park here for sledding last week after the snowstorm, I was like Welp, lemme know how that goes and rewatched UFC fights on Fight Pass…🤷🏼♀️
Ariel is going to have the honor of hosting Kattar on Monday after a huge win for him and a huge patriots loss. Going too be a fun interview.
Wow what a performance! Great to have the fights back!
see y'all later in the greenroom
y'all musta forgot: the calvin kattar edition
Wow! Coming in I thought Giga. Kattar just absolutely dominated. He definitely shut up all the doubters.
ortega vs kattar would be a slobberknocker
Wow. Good for Kattar.
Giga gassed after the 2nd round
it's been all kattar
I wanted Giga to win but Kattar has literally put on a beating
Just how bad is Edson Barboza?
Where does Kevin Lee fit into all this?
Bill Simmons about to suspend Heelwani, after this ass-whooping.
you can tell kattar wants this. feels disrepected and is putting on a clinic.
What a 2nd round!
Those elbows by Kattar? Chef’s kiss
Yes! And he mixes them in so well!
He really does and I mean he took hell from Max a year ago. So IDK, I had Giga but watching this is just educational.
This is crazy y’all. I know it all stems from a slip and fall but good for Calvin.
looks like we saw a weakness in giga: the ground game.
I think I’m lobbying for Giga vs Yair later this year.
main event time. who's your pick? i got giga by decision
giga
2nd finish of the night belongs to collier.
I never troll but making an exception on Twitter tonight to @Dana re: Bills Helwani.
gutsy win for royval. him vs pantoja would be fantastic.
anyone see a tap?
who should katlyn fight next?
Andrade rematch?
nah. andrea lee would be nice
chookagian-maia 2 makes no sense to me
Because Chookagian’s just going to beat Maia again? Or because The Bullet beats either one?
the way i see it, this booking is an example of women's 125 having a wider and larger gap between champion and challenger
Valentina Shevchenko 👑
👑 👑 👑 👑 Long may she reign. I’d love a long reign like DJ’s.
man. figgy just cut a scathing promo on moreno
Agreed. He looks ready too, no weight cut troubles this time I bet.
AND THE BENGALS WON LETS GO
nice finish by slava claus. great performance.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Called it! That was beautiful
Bush was already tired after the first minute. Should Live bet that he loses unfortunately. Borschev is prepared
Slava Clause is next 🎅
ever since urijah's appearance on the mma hour, he's the one fighter i'm interested in watching tonight.
LETS GOOOO
5 fights. 5 decisions. let's hope viacheslav borschev ends this streak
Look at Bill?!! Go home…hahaha
The biggest 10-7 in history is when Cruz said some shit on twitter about Peterson never referring one of his fights again and Peterson replied "Don't worry I don't ref the prelims"
Fuck a 10-7. TKO.
LMAOOO Cruz is still salty about Keith Peterson
there's a part of me that wants dom to let it go
Hahaha, Been waiting for him to make some cigarettes and booze comment
Is Algeo ahead here? I can’t call it.
this one's tough to score
Lots of pizza talk in here tonight if only we could post GIFs I would post the home alone cheese pizza GIF
Hahah yeah my fault. I’m all about Saturday nights, UFC and 🍕
A lovely cheese pizza just for me!
hand stomps. that's a first
main card's about to start. very intrigued by the rovyal bontorin fight
how do you score this one?
Sorry had to grab my front door/ pizza. Holmes was tired by rnd 3 and Pickett did plenty to win. 29-28 felt right to me.
i agree
Holmes looks exhausted heading to this 3rd round
the way this fight's going, a finish for pickett is inevitable
fiery start to round 2
Holmes’ stache game is tight
matter of time before Court gets the finish
If Chikadze wins tonight, for me he'd 100% have the strongest case for getting a title fight. Zombie beat Dan Ige last time around. Chikadze has a chance to beat a guy that's also beat Ige convincingly.

Always got a soft spot for Court McGee
Same. Court’s story is awesome and his wall music is spot on. That said Ramiz is from the Bronx. 💪🏻✊🏻 I gotta show some love but my heart is with Court.
he has become one of the all time great feel good stories in mma
Yeah Kelleher got the memo here in rnd 3
Might this be one of those sneaky good Fight Night cards?
i think this is one of these cards that look bad on paper but ends up being good
Helwani-3PAC Saturdays let’s go!
I swear Kevin Croom never gets any sun haha he is always super pale
I can’t say a word. I’m from NY and Irish American background and it’s winter. So I look like Powter from that movie my damn self.
I rarely go outside as well haha
Word. When people headed to Central Park here for sledding last week after the snowstorm, I was like Welp, lemme know how that goes and rewatched UFC fights on Fight Pass…🤷🏼♀️
Who do yall have for the main event? I have Giga
I got giga by decision
Giga but Im hoping it’s a good fight.
🥷
Y’all I took a nap and just ordered pizza!! Let’s go!!!! Also #nerdalert hahahaha
I stapled my eyelids to my forehead
Didn’t have a nap, but I got pizza!
I’ll fuck around and take a nap in the middle of a house party lol Then I’ll eat their pizza. Anytime anywhere. ´…By night, all day…’ — Nick Diaz
First UFC event of the year!!!
Go Bills!
