    I'm frustrated with SpikeTV ear and eye fucking us throughout the broadcast. It was a 2-1/4 hour show and they only managed to get through four fights.

    That's 60-minutes of fighting (slightly less with Dunham's third round sub) over a span of 135 minutes.

    So for every 15-minute fight there was almost 19-minutes of commercials. To top it off there were commercials during every fight as well. There were also at least two gaps between fights that lasted 20 minutes or more.

    Now, I normally record the free shows and start watching an hour into them so I can fastforward through the junk. I started watching at 10 last night and I caught up to the broadcast before the end of the show. That is bad.

    "It's free, don't complain!" Fuck that. So what, we're supposed to be happy about being inundated with advertising? It's kind of hard to ignore when the guys can't do commentary during the fight because Goldy has to rattle-off Spike's lineup in the middle of every round. That is just taking away from the product.

    I was hoping Maynard could land a shot. I fucking hate Nate Diaz. I want someone to knock his fucking head off.

    Maynard perfectly dried and styled Diaz's hair last night with all the air he was hitting around Nate's head.

    I like both Diaz's... Cocky mutha fuckers but fun as hell to watch... They get under everyone skin.

    Amir is a fuckin tank! Damn what a performance!!!!

    That was Tom Lawlers win! He could have finished him so many times. Hes gonna kick himself in the face for not being more aggressive when he hurt his opponent.
