    They're saying that the crank pushed the mouth guard aside and caused this to happen:

    Dana says that, from cageside, Koscheck looked out of it and didn't know what had happened when the fight was stopped--so he thinks it was a justified stoppage.

    Ronda is downright bubbly at the presser.

    The UFC & CSAC are claiming that the event was a sell-out with 15,525 tickets sold. If so, great.

    Seems about right to me. I won't defend Machida's tactics but Hendo's been basically just using his right hand to win fights for years. Machida's strategy was pretty predictable given his history (see: Rampage, Bader). Hendo surely thought he could catch him with the right but that just didn't happen and Hendo refused to err from that game plan.

    Seemed like Hendo made a point to highlight Machida's complete lack of aggressiveness there in the third where he stopped attacking for at least a minute and they were just standing there with their fists up until Machida finally made a feeble offensive.

    Bermudez-Grice was fugging sweet, that must have won FOTN, no?

    Carmouche immediately said that it wasn't from Ronda biting her, it was from the position. Sherdog fanatics ran with it though.

    Kevin Iole and Dave Meltzer are saying this PPV did over 400k buys. It's a dip from 154 (700k) and 155 (600k) (numbers for 156 not out yet but reportedly low) but a very strong number for a first time WMMA main event. The UFC is giddy.
