I think most of you guys are looking at it all wrong

Jackson doesn't have any delusions that he's on his way to having a long, successful career in the UFC, so why not enjoy the experience and fight the full 15 minutes?

And on top of that, he's in there with a guy with very limited skills, so there's really no reason to fight for a finish and risk injuring Punk anymore than is necessary to earn the win

Well he has me questioning whether he was paid not to finish the fight because he sure didn't try. Doesn't look very good either way.

The point of an MMA fight is to prove you're the better fighter, it's not about knocking someone out

Jackson proved he was the better fighter and he did so without inflicting unnecessary damage on his opponent

Kudos to him, I say!

I know what the point is. Finishing a fight is obviously a better way to do it.

They made a mistake having Megan Anderson fight Holly, the division is shallow enough.

Now what are they going to do Holm vs Cyborg again.

Hmm... Holm dominated and actually looked interested in the fight. Can't say that about the douche two fights earlier.

Good for Holly. She's had a tough go of it lately. Please don't have her fight Cyborg next.

Please RDA. I don't think I can stand the lame trash talk leading up to a Woodley/Covington title fight.

Pretty surprised Dos Anjos is the betting underdog, he's a monster and is far more well rounded.

Damn. I always though Herb Dean was a little on the heavier side. Without the long sleeves that dude is cut.
