A cookie for a championship belt. Not sure it's a fair trade but
you can't win them all, I guess.

Looks like I'm going to have to learn how to spell
"Jedrzejczyk."
— Jeff Wagenheim SI (@jeffwagenheim) March

I didn't think anyone - right now - could do that to Esparza.
Jedrzejcyzk completely exceeded my expectations. What a real
talent.

It's like you can hear Mike Goldberg summoning all his might
every time he pronounces Jedrzejczyk's name.

That was a throwback to the days when wrestlers could take guys
down whenever they wanted. So rare to see now even with elite
wrestlers.

Hendricks looks great but Matt Brown is never out of a
fight..just ask his Jiu Jitsu Coach. #UFC185

Hendricks, father of three daughters, taking over. Should be
trash talking Brown, "MY GIRLS CAN BE ANYTHING THEY WANT, INCLUDING
FIGHTERS!"

Chris "Kamikaze" Cariaso, you know like in WWII when the
Japanese were down two rounds to none and came out throwing leg
kicks
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) March 15,
2015
Cariaso isn't getting 'beaten up' as such, but look at how much
Cejudo is making him to react to everything he's doing. That is
EXHAUSTING.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) March

Are Cejudo's shorts gold or black?

Henry Cujudo is 7-0 in MMA but 1-4 against a Scale. #UFC185

If I was gonna call out Joe Rogan for his TV history, I would

RE Dariush's grappling game - you know you're legit as hell when you're giving Fabricio Werdum pointers on how to finish a half-guard sweep.
— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) March 15, 2015
Should've one-upped Benoit and dick-punched him, Rosholt.
— Dann Stupp (@DannStupp) March 15,
2015
That's why I've defended Rosholt's top game for a minute. He's
not a crusher but he can legit wear strong guys out early, smash
them late.

You know who's winning this fight? The Ryan's Steakhouse they

Jared Rosholt has that Peter "Hurricane" McNeely chin. Gets

For what it’s worth, Benoit starting apologizing instantly after
late kick. Emotions got the best of him. Shame, because that was
pretty.

Benoit got his ass kicked in the first round, he was just
returning the favor.

"He's the youngest member of the fighting Pettis family"... Goldberg leading people to think there are 20 of them and they're all luchdores.

Perhaps "Octagon jitters" wouldn't get brought up if more
fighters arrived to the big time as ready as Duffy was?

Joe Duffy just earned five straight fights against non-wrestlers
with that knock out.

Big opportunity for Jake Lindsey to become the guy who beat the
last guy to beat Conor McGregor. Stakes don't get much higher.

Pacheco is only 20 years old and her first two fights in the UFC
were against Jessica Andrade and Germaine de Randamie. Yikes.

Welcome back GDR. I believe it was Cesar Gracie who once dubbed

Halfway through the first round, and Larissa Pacheco needs to use a lifeline, maybe phone a friend. Something.
