    Really looking forward to these three prelims.
    I think Vieira will go a long way in the middleweight division.
    I've always been a fan of Sean O'Malley and Madsen is very interesting too coming from wrestling.

    He's really annoying me. Just won't shut up when telling little stories, even if serious punches are being thrown and landed. Needs to stop waffling.

    Some comeback from Sean O'Malley. Still only 25, future champion I think.

    would love to see him take cejudo apart and move up to 145 then.

    Sugar is looking better than ever. I'm actually raging it was over so quickly. I would have loved to see more of him.
    He'll be on the main card against a better opponent soon.

    why did jingliang continually look for the take down, ive no idea, then just got dominated in the clinch, wasnt until the third he stopped looking for it and still just looked out classed, brilliant from magny throughout.

    Yeah couldn’t understand that myself. He definitely troubled magny with his hands at the start
    What a great fight there dariush v klose.

    Didn't like that walkout from Joanna, a bit weird. Think she'll get smashed here.

    I must be watching a different fight to Rogan. I gave that round to Weili (just) but you'd swear it was a massacre the way he's going on. Joanna right hook midway through that round was probably the best shot of the round and none of the commentators batted an eyelid.

    Still looks like it is Zhang that is clinging on.
