A Night of Tweets: UFC on Fox 9

With GSP out now, Demetrious Johnson is now MMA's most
professional man, just punching the time card, improving, booking
men hospital trips.

Immediate cynical take: great KO could help Johnson's star
power, but short fight hurts FOX ratings.

Remember when Demetrius Johnson said Benavidez throws hard with
his eyes closed?

What's the over-under on the number of hammer fists that DJ
landed before it was stopped? 6? That's speed.

Faber is one of the best finishers in MMA history. When he is
facing non-champs, he doesn't usually just win big, he blows doors
off homies.

Faber channeled his Thailand street fight there. So vicious a
finisher is Faber Joe.

Danzig's ass is not for sale. So he's either against slavery or
homophobic.

On a separate note, I was told McKenzie showed up sans
mouthpiece or shorts. Someone got those for him at a store
nearby.

Coincidentally, I helped the CSAC with some data analysis this
week. The conclusion was that 10-8 rounds are not used adequately
in MMA.

Judging incompetence! Refereeing incompetence! Castillo vs

"This is big! THIS IS BIG!" The professional announcer says of
an inconsequential late flurry in a lopsided fight.

Despite not having any warmup fights in the WSOF, ex-Bellator
champ Zack Makovsky looks sharp in his UFC debut. Imagine that.

Oh my. The legend of Cody McKenzie grows. Fighting in MMA shorts
with the tags still on.
— Jon (@jonJpatrick) December

McKenzie can't return his shorts now that Big John ripped off
the tag. There goes three bucks down the drain.

I just realized that if GSP drank more NOS Active, maybe he
wouldn't have to step away for a while. He should buy some. With
his money.

Cody McKenzie seriously looks like a dude that would've gotten
beat into a coma on a Monte Cox show in a Quad Cities titty bar in
1998.

The beating was so thorough, Trujillo is now going to go to
Bowling's locker room and take his wallet, and Bowling will say
nothing.

Abel Trujillo was so impressive in dispatching Roger Bowling
that Joe Rogan finally started pronouncing his last name
correctly.
