— Mike Chiappetta MMA (@MikeChiappetta) June 8, 2014Disregard my fun facts for the day. Ben Henderson read them between rounds, said "f*ck you Andreas* and finished off Khabilov.
— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) June 8, 2014Wow! Henderson gets the submission in round four and immediately comes to media row side of cage and says "say something now!" Heated
— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) June 8, 2014This is the 1st time that Ben Henderson has Finished a Fight,
since he Submitted Donald Cerrone on April 24th, 2010 pic.twitter.com/znthqdv9Vi
— MMA History Today (@MMAHistoryToday) June 8, 2014The Diego decision is proof that not all of Walter White's product has be removed from the streets of the ABQ
— NOT Cecil Peoples (@JudgeCecil_P) June 8, 2014And here is that ridiculous set of scores. pic.twitter.com/BWjKFWKHCr
— John Morgan (@MMAjunkieJohn) June 8, 2014Well, Ross Pearson said he wanted a fight people were talking about 20 years from now. They just might be. Yeesh.
— John Morgan (@MMAjunkieJohn) June 8, 2014Wow. The saddest thing is, that's not even top three biggest robberies by Diego Sanchez.
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) June 8, 2014GTFO of here. Seriously ABQ judges? Kiss my ass if you had that fight 30-27 for Sanchez.
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) June 8, 2014Well, Diego religious tenacity paid off tonight.
— Chuck Mindenhall (@ChuckMindenhall) June 8, 2014Oh, go bent, MMA judging.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) June 8, 2014how did none of yall journalists find out where diego got his steak tartare this time?
— GFKonMMA (@GFKonMMA) June 8, 2014John Crouch confirms to me that Moraga wanted to continue and corner supported it, but doctor was concerned about the nose and called it.
— John Morgan (@MMAjunkieJohn) June 8, 2014I guess Mel Gibson is welcome at UFC cards because there are no Jewish fighters to complain about him #UFCFightNight
— David Bixenspan (@davidbix) June 8, 2014Doubt any other professional sport would give Mel Gibson any camera time in 2014…and there’s a really good reason for that.
— Trent Reinsmith (@TrentReinsmith) June 8, 2014Even holding his groin, John Dodson's hot lap around the Octagon was blurry.
— Chuck Mindenhall (@ChuckMindenhall) June 8, 2014I haven't seen this many people get blasted in the eye since watching YouPorn. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) June 8, 2014This fight has really been an eye for an eye.
— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) June 8, 2014So thug jitsu has no defense for eye pokes.
— Liver Kick (@LiverKickdotcom) June 8, 2014The man!
Mel Gibson. O and @clayguida and @CubSwanson pic.twitter.com/7yuj0q0XKH
— Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) June 8, 2014@benfowlkesMMA ON HIS ASS
— midnite (@123midnite) June 8, 2014@mmaencyclopedia Certainly the father of lots of the mindset of the typical MMA fan mentality if nothing else
— Rich Hansen (@JustRichHansen) June 8, 2014Crowd: Booo
Pettis: Better do a cartwheel
— Fight Parrot (@FightParrot) June 8, 2014This Arena is hotter than Belfort's urine sample. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) June 8, 2014Not a great sign if, two rounds in, the commentators are talking about the effects of the altitude.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) June 8, 2014And the Albuquerque elevation claims its first victims. This is why they didn't book any fights over 170 pounds on the Fox Sports 1 card.
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) June 8, 2014"I heard him say ‘tap, tap, tap’ and the ref stepped in. All the best to Jake"- @JonCruzTuck #UFCFightNight pic.twitter.com/B5ndlBnmZD
— UFC (@ufc) June 8, 2014Seeing Joe Warren on a UFC show feels weird. Like when MJ played baseball. @benfowlkesMMA #UFCFightNight
— Dusty Wallace (@CosmicDustMite) June 8, 2014That "Librarian" was Dewey decimated.
#Goodnight
— Chuck Mindenhall (@ChuckMindenhall) June 8, 2014That's the first tapout in UFC history via heel strikes from back mount. What a joke. UFC caliber means absolutely nothing these days.
— Luca FurysFightPicks (@FurysFightPicks) June 8, 2014And the slow death of the value of positional control in the name of cheap entertainment continues.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) June 8, 2014I wish Jon Tuck fought Andy Wang...so the fight would be Tuck Wang. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) June 8, 2014Since I'm not in the arena, no walkout songs - I'm still upset however that Jason High was not allowed to use the @GameOfThrones theme #UFC
