    Derek Brunson is the betting favourite over Anderson Silva.

    Brunson's wild-ass striking looks suited to being counter punch KO'd by Silva IMHO.

    McCall's fight is off. Man, no breaks for that guy. How many times in a row is this? Five?

    With all due respect to Goldy, having DC and Joe together is nice.

    Poirier/Miller is a great fight.

    Poirier looks great.

    I don't know what Joe is on about. This fight is dull.

    Would love to see Silva take some initiative in this fight.

    Ok, not bad. Silva is willing to engage.

    Close round. Brunson had success in the clinch. Very similar to the second fight with Weidman.

    Brunson was poked in the eye but managed a takedown to rescue himself.

    Not a very eventful second round.

    Brunson is exhausted. I'm not sure how. His output is much less than in recent fights. But he's having more striking success. Silva, characteristically, shrugs everything off.

    Silva speaking a good deal of English in the post-fight interview.

    Main event is interesting so far. GDR is the cleaner striker. Looks to be conserving her energy well.

    Holm hasn't gone deep into grappling yet. Seems like she'll have a marked advantage there. Looks like that should be a priority based on GDR's counter striking.

    Two or so minutes of grappling against the cage to end the second round. Both fighters have expended a lot of energy.

    GDR absolutely HAMMERS Holly Holm after the bell. Yikes.
