[Sheppy]

I see Rockhold mauling Branch pretty badly.

 

[m9]

Jotko v Hall is fun. No idea why it's buried where it is.

 

[Avs_19]

I don't know how competitive some of these fights will be but the card does have some decent fighters on it.

 

[Sheppy]

Jotko v Hall is fun. No idea why it's buried where it is.

It's because Hall has been pretty disappointing.

 

[dss97]

I see Rockhold mauling Branch pretty badly.

Same. People forget how dominant he was before getting clipped by Bisping.

 

[m9]

It's because Hall has been pretty disappointing.

He still headlined the last card he was on, and Jotko is a very good fighter. The style matchup is great too. It's weird placement on the card.

 

[dss97]

Very impressive comeback by Hall. He took a beating in the first round.

 

[td_ice]

Some tremendous action tonight on this card.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Great fight

 

[td_ice]

Great fight

It really was.

Those guys laid it all out there. Gillespie with the great ground game was able to use that advantage to come out on top. But Gonzalez was tough as can be.

 

[m9]

Great fights tonight so far, really good card.

 

[td_ice]

Perry makes quick work of Reyes.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

That was a nasty knee.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Perry's chicken dance celly was top notch.

 

[td_ice]

Perry wants Lawler, would be a great match.

 

[Birko19]

Perry is annoying, I want to see him knocked out. But hey, that's what makes fighters relevant, if you're loved or hated then you're doing your job, no one cares for the fighters in between.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Mike Perry is my favorite awful human being

 

[Asiantuntija]

Branch will finish that one very fast.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Rockhold got some predictable head movement

 

[Birko19]

Luke looking rusty as hell.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Branch has managed to tag Rockhold a few times...

 

[MD thaivuN]

the only thing saving Rockhold is that Branch only has one punch XD

 

[Birko19]

Rockhold on top is not a good thing. Should be over.

 

[MD thaivuN]

this is why I didn't give much chance to Branch. You can't outgrapple Rockhold and Branch is just mostly only a grappler
