This will be the last of I think eight straight weeks of UFC events. This event will no longer have the TUF Brazil 4 finals on it and several other bouts have been scrapped due to multiple visa issues.
Due to the venue the UFC will be using the smaller of their two cages for this event. Some people think the smaller cage makes for better fights.
This is the last card for outside sponsorship for fighters... brought to you by Corn Nuts and Bud Light.

No, apparently. He said that America forgot Jesus or something. Denies it has anything to do with the gay marriage ruling of the SCOTUS. Ok so yeah, back to the fights. Romero/Jacare under Weidman/Rockhold makes sense, no? In Calgary? Please?
Romero fucked Machida up. Machida is done. He looked old and slow last night. Its time to hang them out. The Dragon is no more.
