    Rogan's kissing of McGregor's * is getting tedious. "Everyone is here to see him" Aye alright nobody wants to see Henderson v Cowboy or Alvarez as it was

    :50: I actually watch the UFC off and on, but find it difficult to talk about. Tonight should be a good one, though. :celt_2:

    Rogan is really beginning to grate on me as a commentator lately, i like his podcast though. However i definitely see Rampage's point about the one sided commentary.

    Spent the whole fight talking up Spencer's striking, yes he was clearly more technical and Pendred's striking is so * sloppy it's unbelievable. Spencer landed with absolutely nothing rounds 2 and 3, yet clearly Rogan and Goldy were suggesting he was the winner before the decision, sitting there baffled.

    Haha well yeah i thought it was gonna be a split decision in fairness no way Cathall took round 1. He needs to be more impartial i feel, he made a reasonably close fight seem ridiculously one sided.

    Hope Parke wins. Seems like a decent lad for being one of them

    Yeah he does, his biggest test by far though Tibau has beat some * beasts. Still calling a Parke TKO.

    Parke was unlucky...could have gone either way, but neither deserved to lose as such.
    Hall looked good in that finish.

    I cannot see how Cowboy can beat Henderson......in any round never mind the whole fight.Im predicting he will get mauled......which means he'll probably win!!!:smiley-laughing002:

    Very good fight Henderson and Cerrone, could watch fighters of this calibre against each other every day of the week.

    Hard to call for me, I think Cerrone done better in the first 2 rounds, 3rd has been more even but the whole fight has been close.

    I think it will be called a draw, id say Cerrone won. If Henderson is given the win than id disagree with it.

    Cerrone got it 29-28 with all 3 judges, fair enough I think, first 2 rounds were his.

    Wrong as usual.:smiley-laughing002:

    I did actaully think Henderson won it 29-28, but i thought both fighters showed too much respect to each other.
    Quite glad Jesus decidied to make Henderson lose.Go Jesus!:56:
