    Top to bottom this card is litered with fighters who bring the excitement. Even on the prelims with guys like Manny Bermudez and his slick submission game.

    On a surprising note, Diaz had some decent things to say about Pettis the other day. Complimented his fighting style and said he ain't lame like some of the other guys at WW and LW.

    Video has been posted of Diaz smoking a joint at UFC 241 workouts and then passing it around. Apparently good manners means sharing.

    Weigh-ins are complete. Everyone made it. Yoel would have even been on weight for a title fight. Hopefully Romero dumps Costa on his head and beats on him for a bit.

    24 hours out.

    It's obviously early in his career, but I think that Sadiq could be special at 145.

    I felt Romero won that, but the fight was razor close. Can't hate on the judges for picking Costa.

    A Diaz brother is actually gonna get in the cage in a few. I needed to see it to believe it and here it is.

    Diaz isn't letting Pettis have any space. Keeping this fight in close and kind of dominating.

    DC is dominant. Can't believe Bones has beat this guy twice.

    Agreed. Might be the best heavyweight fight ever.

    How happy was Masvidal when Diaz called him out? Red panty night for him.

    Sandhagen looks like a great prospect. Patient and professional fighter.

    Didn't know much about Worthy and Smith or Yusuff and Benitez.

    Brunson will lose credit for his win since his coaching situation is stealing it but he executed a game plan last night. He's better when he's not wading into punches.

    Costa vs. Romero looked experimental. Great fight nonetheless.

    Diaz vs. Pettis was really great. Pettis was landing early but could not maintain three rounds with Diaz pressuring him. Diaz is still a star. Hopefully they can get him back in the cage on the regular.

    Main event was epic. One of the best HW tilts ever. Miocic going to the body at the end was sublime. Great capper.

    Amazing fucking card.

    I scored it 2-1 Romero but can't hate on the decision. Amazing fight, Romero at 42 still looks fucking amazing. He's still a contender, going no where...

    Nate Diaz has evolved...wrestling? Checking leg kicks? Dude looked suffocating out there. I think him vs Masvidal is a must and I think Nate can beat him.

    Stipe! Fuck yeah!
