    Maybe the new bantamweight champ after tonight?

    Is it Sacramento where there is a female AC official who's been caught ogling/getting handsy with the fighters?

    The thought of that is really frightening.

    Lol thank God Baszler lost, that bitch is delusional and annoying as all hell.

    Surprised to see Soto lasted so long. Does anyone know if it was a close fight before the stoppage?

    Not a close fight but Soto held his own for the most part. Good boxing, not much else to speak of. Dillashaw fights like DJ and Dom Cruz, now. Lots of activity, varied striking, constant and sometimes needless bouncing. Dillashaw vs. Cruz will be like two hummingbirds fighting.

    Castillo, deserved loser, argued after the fight that holding someone down and not letting them up = win. Ferguson attacked from every position. Clear winner IMHO.

    Baszler had some good grappling moments in the first round but got tuned up in the second. Correia called out Rousey. If Baszler can take her down, Rousey should be able to as well.

    After Goldy & Joe reminded us ten times that Nijem isn't a brawler anymore, Nijem brawled for two rounds and left himself open to get knocked out. Mixed reaction from the crowd to his Palestinian flag waving. Goldy & Joe didn't bring it up.

    The only other fight I saw was Hamilton vs. Potts. Neither guy should be in the UFC. Guess they should be thankful that heavyweight is a wasteland.

    So, whose next for TJ? Winner of Assuncao/Carraway? Or will Cruz get the shot if he beats Mizugaki?

    Assuncao, presumably. Otherwise Cruz is an easy set-up.

    Apparently Potts doesn't have broken ribs but getting punched forty times in the same spot will crack some blood vessels...

    125,000 buys, according to Meltzer.

    Keep in mind that if the UFC makes $0.10 on the dollar for a PPV, what with overhead and marketing and the PPV provider cut, that's still $625,000. With a $700,000 gate and untold merchandise revenues, it's unlikely the UFC were in the red for the event. Disclosed fighter salaries were $420,000.
