    The UFC has flipped the Holm/Anderson fight with the Blaydes/Reem fight to boost ratings for the prelims.

    They must know there is a relationship between prelim viewership and people opting to buy the PPV.

    Missed it. Shame. That is two straight title fights he's missed for.

    Seems like a minute ago Whittaker was talking about not fighting guys who miss weight.

    Reem has been KO'd in six-of-fourteen UFC fights (43%).

    Mike Jackson's the guy you fight at level one in a boxing/MMA video game.

    What is the point of this enormous Ronda Rousey package, holy shit...

    I don't think Royce Gracie got a promo like this.

    Tai does a shoey on the way back to the locker room. Gross.

    Edit: two shoeys. Second one with spit. Bllllllllllehkh

    BJ Penn and Mattwo's together in the front row. Their odd friendship is endearing. Wonder how Matt is doing? Last time we saw him he had some real difficulty communicating.

    Holm is trying to wall-and-stall this round away...

    Probably for the best that Anderson fought Holm and not Cyborg. Anderson isn't ready for that pressure.

    Colby's pace is relentless. I can't see RDA hanging with this for another three+ rounds.
