Re: UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche [live right now] Neer/McGee could be a banger. McGee might try to get him down.
Re: UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche [live right now] Great fight! Josh Neer works his way back into the fight with a much more even second round.

Re: UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche [live right now] Faber still loves himself, in case you were wondering.
Re: UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche [live right now] Well, that was not so exciting. Machida takes the unanimous decision.

Carmouche looks like the love child of GSP and Faber. Ronda is such a G. Machida won the fight, but damn, he's great at riding his bicycle. Boring ass fight and I would have no issues if the winner of Gus/Mousasi got the title shot. I may sound salty but Machida didn't do shit to deserve a title shot.
Faber looked good. If he hadn't just fought Barao I'm sure they'd be setting him up for another chitle tot. I imagine he'll have to fight Mike McDonald next which would be a nice scrap. Dunno if the UFC would do that to MM--tough comeback fight. Pretty impressed with Court McGee. Could be a noisemaker at 170-lbs. if he can duplicate that first round he had. Nice technique. Lost a lot of steam midway through the second round but maintained his composure. Neer is a gamer and should have a UFC lifetime contract. Dennis Bermudez and Kenny Robertson both had nice performances. Bermudez is relentless. FOTY candidate. Machida was Machida. Unless somebody rushes into him or leaves themselves wide open, not much happens. His timing is incredible but he doesn't create his own offense very well. Dunno what is next for him. Maybe the winner of Phil Davis/Vinny Magalhaes? Definitely hoping Gusto/Moose get the next shot. Hendo looked like Josh Koscheck vs. GSP winging that overhand at Machida all night and hitting air. Not much to say about Rousey. Hard to fulfill everyone's expectations. She'll fight the winner of Miesha Tate/Cat Zingano. Both fights are interesting and much more competitive than what we saw tonight.
Hoping Kenny Robertson gets the SOTN. That kneebar was sick. Never seen one like it before. Figuring the bonuses will be Robertson, Lawler, and Bermudez/Grice.
Apparently Carmouche could make a set of dentures for Rousey using the indents in her arm during that face crank. No word yet on whether she's claiming it was an intentional bite or just the result of the position. Guessing we're talking about lower teeth since she had a guard in.
Dana says Machida is the number one contender now that he's beaten the former number one contender in Hendo. WTF, didn't he just say the winner of Gusto/Moose would be the top contender? Or is he saying that Machida can sit out and wait? Stupid.
