That Omigawa decision was a huge surprise!! I had LC as my 9 lock dangit! and I paid for doubting Nam Phan and his mediocre record too. I missed King Mo's entrance too dangit. at least it's being rebroadcast now
Also, James Thompson has been knocked out in seven of his last ten fights. Him, Shamrock and Goulet are competing for worst chin ever in MMA.
Stream. I just watch the Nick Dennis fight. One of the main instructors that I knew pretty well was in his corner as well as an ex-Ronin guy who's been over competing in Asain for several years. Very Surreal to know them.. even just a bit.
IMO those are the types of entrances the UFC needs. Gono had a hilarious entrance that the crowd totally enjoyed. I don't think every fighter needs to be like that a la the WWE, but if someone wants to do an elaborate entrance they should be able too. I enjoy the variety myself.

Yeah, it will give you a pop up. Then you close the pop up and here it will show a play button surrounded by a small poker ad. Click the play button and the video will come up.
