From last minute call-up to first-billed main eventer, attaboy Josh Emmett. The prelims are as good as the main card.
Emmett says Brian Ortega turned down the chance to fight him, here. Ortega has a lot of momentum right now and not much to gain by beating Emmett so I get it. So does Emmett, who says the same. That being said this is still sub-par for a "big" FOX show.
Yeah this may be the worst FOX card to date...I know they usually put exciting fighters on there....can't think of some other stinkers right now...at least on paper...hopefully it = a good night of fights.
After this the UFC are only doing two events in March. That's the kind of pace I can keep up with. This every week stuff drains my interest pretty fast.
Hahahahaa fuck you Mike Perry. Every time this guy loses, its better and better. No idea why he was such a huge favorite. He really has been exposed lately. Griffin is no world beater; but it should have been closer than what it was. Hopefully one more loss and the UFC cuts Perry's bum thug ass. Excellent cornering advice from his gf, too..."kick the knee! break the leg"
OSP looked WAY too cocky in there. Casually standing there and flicking a leg or punch out there. Hands down...he got caught and got choked the fuck out. Dude should have taken that fight serious...
