    Should mention that Goldy compared McGregor to Michael Jordan. You'd think he would've learned his lesson after the Travis Lutter comparison. Or is MJ the only other athlete Goldy knows?

    Cerrone chopping and hacking at Alvarez's leg in the second round. Alvarez worse for wear.

    Cerrone chops-out Alvarez's lead leg then jumps on top of him for some ground and pound for the last minute of the fight.

    Rough introduction to the UFC for Alvarez.

    Word is Tim Kennedy is losing his shit backstage over the between round antics of Romero's camp.

    Imagine if this card had a big main event? Card of the year potential.

    DJ wins easily in a fight that maybe should never have happened. Cariaso was totally outmatched.

    FOTN to the girls or to Kennedy/Romero? Or Alvarez/Cerrone?

    Good night of fights.

    Very entertaining card! I'd give the girls FOTN honours, one of the best WMMA matches I have seen in a long time.

    McGregor, Cruz, Romero, and Kennedy get the bonuses.

    Kennedy will lodge a formal complaint with the NSAC for how long Romero had to recover between rounds.

    No real surprise but Zingano will fight Rousey next, perhaps at 182

    I didn't notice this at the time (Robin Black did) but Kennedy cheated to rock Romero in the first place...

    Re: UFC 178: Johnson vs. Cariaso [live now]

    DFW must've put out notice to say that McGregor is the biggest star ever, bigger than GSP, bigger than Lesnar. Rogan said it on the broadcast and White repeated it backstage. The crowd in Vegas was (typically) mediocre so it was hard to tell.

    Instagram of an irate Kennedy confronting Romero, who doesn't speak English well making the exchange a bit pointless.

    Kennedy refused to be injected with lidocaine while getting stitches on his banged up eye. The UFC doctor remarked that no one has ever refused it in the last ten years he's been there.

    I guess we can't complain about the UFC not trying to build new stars with what they're doing with Rousey and McGregor, but are they going about it the best way?

    Romero was ordered to sit back down and wait for the vaseline to be wiped off. That isn't on Romero...the cut guys are UFC employees. Kennedy needs to take his beef up with the UFC brass. Good win for Romero.

    After seeing the glove-grabbing GIF I have no sympathy for him.
