I see the word 'decision' a lot on there... so I am glad I missed this card... and Scott Jorgenson should consider hanging them up if he can't make the main card for this type of UFC event and he loses too.
Luke Thomas (I think) is saying these cards go on too long. Look how far we've come--four hours of free fights now pisses people off. Events like these must be recorded. Even with a half hour buffer I can catch up to the action in like 50 minutes. You have to expect a ton of filler and advertising on a free show but this one really did drag out.
