    You said Yamasaki is one of the best referees in MMA, I'm saying the opposite. I'm not 'arguing' about your opinion on the ending of the fight.

    Well now you're lying as I said he's one of the better ones. I wouldn't put him in the same bracket as Mazzagatti or Levine. But he's not Herb Dean or Big John. For the little amount of refs they have he's been one of the more reliable ones.

    TKO by * yourself, that's crazy. I wonder if this happens again will they enforce that. Imagine having that on your record "TKO loss due to * all over the floor" that would be so embarrassing like a child being sent home from school pooing on the floor.

    I don't know what you're disagreeing with. I agree with you about the decision and we barely disagree about Yamasaki. You think he's * and I think he's one of the standard more reliable ones. Or at least did before this fight. You just love to ruffle feathers! Haha.

    I don't think it could be any clearer? I think he's one of the worst refs along with Mazzagatti you think he's one of the better ones.

    How's that ruffling feathers? :39:

    He's bang average but I can think of a number of refs who've been a lot worse than him.

    Don't think you catch on to sarcasm, regarding the feather ruffling.

    Megan Anderson out of Cyborg fight due to undisclosed personal problems.

    Invicta Bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger is in. Really gutted but still a good fight, this Evinger has 10 wins and one NC in her last 11. Lots of finishes too.

    I was really looking forward to seeing Megan Anderson, but she will be back.

    Cerrone out of the lawler fight aswell. * *. Hopefully they can find a replacement who will at least make it entertaining.

    Johnston Gaethe 1st round might be round of the year.

    Aye class fight. Love to see that.. if there was ever a way to make a debut that was it. He will need to smarten up a bit though cause he will get knocked out a lot if he keeps doing that

    What a mad * fight. If you didn't know about Gaethje, you do now.

    I just saw this and shat myself, but I see it's been moved to 214.

    Yea some class match ups for him cant wait for his next fight. Think he would get killed off someone as clinical as Mcgregor but could give trouble to guys like Barzoza who arent as good fighting on the back foot and at countering. What a fight him v Ferguson would be though.

    Def will fight for the title as some point and prob be consistent top 5. Yea but he needs to smarten up fighting like that against the best guys in the world is not good for your future health. I think it may take him getting brutally knocked out to realize he needs to do that , hopefully its not too late.

    I hate Amanda Nunes. Ill and out of the fight tonight.

    Shevhenko want Joanna J tonight for the title and JJ wants it. Doubt it happens this late.

    Aye that's taken the sting right out of it. Wouldn't be surprised if they went balls deep with 214 and added Nunes Shevchenko to it.
