Watch the press conference if only for Connor's answers, the dude is crazy/hilarious.

3 people died to make his watch.

Who'd of ever thought Chael could be one-upped by another guy on stage with him. Holy shit, Connor is a superstar.

was that mat level camera view new? 1st time i noticed it. on my tv it seemed darker and like a different frame rate, guess it is high speed or something?

Looked like a documentary angle or something. I liked it though. Good night of fights!

I was at TD Garden last night and the arena erupted like Ive never seen before when Shogun tapped. Also Overeem was the only fighter to leave the ring and walk back to the locker rooms without a light on him, everyone else I saw walk out win/lose with lights on them. It was friggin hilarious, a walk of shame.

The mat cam is new, I heard it will be a part of very event going forward. I was wondering what the hell was going on during the Prelims and Kenflo mentioned it on Twitter

also a funny video Dana linked on twitter

I like the "mat-cam", but not with the quick cuts from "live sports action cam" and back to the aged gritty look. And back and forth and back. If you have an HD tv, it is kinda jarring. Like you are cutting back and forth to two different fights.

I mean, shit... I will live and it is not worth bitching about if they continue to use it, but I don't see it as enhancing the viewing experience in any way.

Stefan Struve's heart is all fucked up.

Also Bellator has said they won't make an offer to Ben Askren, some folks think this is a tactic to get the UFC to lowball him so they can use their matching clause without the money getting escalated like it did with Alvarez.

edit: Also, gross post-fight pics.

There's a HL reel.



As always, WAR MATT BROWN.

Wanderlei will only fight Sonnen if he gets PPV points. A smart but pussy move.

My immediate reaction is that he's planning to retire after the fight and trying to get as much out of it as possible.

Ok so Wanderlei might not be able to sell PPV's anymore but Chael definitely can.
