    “[UFC President Dana White] knows the number,” he said. “I really do want to walk away, but like I said, man, money talks.”

    3 good fights to start the prelims tonight. Didn't need to see that slow shot of the tibia though.

    Wow I've never seen someone do that before, dude walked away before the bell, opponent gets up and whacks him.

    Woodley needs to retire - classic case of an old fighter who can't pull the trigger anymore.

    I am getting excited about this upcoming epic fight between Bruce Lee and the airline pilot from the movie Airplane.

    Murdock vs. Lee is going to be epic.

    Nunes is ripe for the picking but I literally know zero about the woman she's fighting.

    Well, she's Canadian. Have a hard time seeing a Canadian woman kicking a Brazilians ass.

    Why is Nunes ripe for the picking? They keep calling her the GOAT, she's 32 in her prime on a 10 fight winning streak.

    God damn this is sad, never expected to tune into a UFC matchup to tear up.

    Two belts living the good life she has looked chunky and soft lately instead of the block of concrete she usually looks like. Very hard to hold 2 belts especially the secondary championship -- I don't know if this challenger even has the skills to defeat a reduced Nunes though - I really haven't seen or heard of her before.

    @KingCheetah

    Ripe for the picken is gonna be a no from me dawg.

    That girl is in her prime, super bad

    Her face legit doesn’t have a single scratch. She looks like she didn’t even fight.

    That this no name challenger took her the distance is telling -- get that monster from PFL Kayla Harrison over and we might get a decent fight. There really isn't any talent in this weight class I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC dropped it all together.

    I don't think it's telling. Amanda was toying with her, she didn't take a single shot, and at no point for a second of the fight was she in danger, I kid you not that her face was quite literally flawless without a scratch.

    But yeah it's gonna be tough for them to find a good matchup for her. Great main card tonight. Two insane knockout finishes, the instant chokehold by Sterling, and Amanda showing her dominance.

    My point is that the challenger wouldn't have been anywhere near that fight if there was legit competition -- really who's left at 135 a rematch with VS? There just aren't enough warm bodies at 145 much less contenders. She is no doubt the GOAT but MMA runs at the top are usually fairly short.

    BMF with a strong point about revenue percentage 18% is terrible especially when compared to other major sports (around 50%). Lots of sudden retirements ... Dana may have to get off the wallet.
