The big difference is that Gus already had his title shot and it was an incredible fight that will show up on top fight lists for a long ass time to come.

Jack Slack + Matt Brown =
Jack Slack: Matt Browns Rebirth | FIGHTLAND
The Silva gif reminds me: 2 years back or so on FoH I was asking about Semmy Schilt and his body kicks where he digs the toes in and why MMA people don't use the technique. Some resident striking "expert" explained to me that no one in their right mind intentionally does that with the toes. I was talked down to for my lack of knowledge. Now look at all the motherfuckers wrecking guts with their toes lately and how much it gets talked about.
Basically I don't remember who it was, but fuck you.

Yes and yes. You know with this, the announcement of Nate signing a fight is now imminent. Maybe those two jackasses can now stay focused on simply fighting and working their way up instead of bitching about pay. I'm not holding my breath though.

The only thing I'm curious about is if they'll match Nick up with a nightmare for him(any wrestler who won't just walk in to his firsts until he falls over) or if they believe in his selling power enough to feed him a few cupcakes to try to build him up to contender status again. It's not like they have another BJ Penn they can sacrifice to make him a fake challenger again.

Apparently there was some miscommunication from the athletic commission and Matt won't be fined and is still eligible for fight bonuses.

Same, he isn't a giant welter like Hendricks/Rory/Lawler, if anything he is kinda lean/lanky. Go figure.

He actually trains with some world class power lifting coaches at their gym. He doesn't look huge but he's carrying a lot of muscle. I guess he's just an ectomorph like Jones or Silva as opposed to someone like Gleison Tibau who is a classic mesomorph.
edit: Also apparently it wasn't really a miscommunication. The commission follows what the doctor advises and he didn't want Brown trying to lose the extra 1.5lbs in an hour so they didn't let him try.

I'm stuck in the barracks with no TV...is it best to just stream from the usual streaming sites or is there an HD link for Fox? A little intoxicated and my search isn't going so well.

Joe complaining about Cummins not going balls out to finish was a little awkward. He was always pushing forward so it wasn't like he took a round off. Also Kingsbury retired after that fight.
