Those gifs are fucking butter!
On another note, I read on the internet today that Machida was injured tonight. This makes sense to me because I thought for sure he'd knock Rockhold out within two rounds. But my bro told me that Rockhold was the favorite in Vegas and that was definitely a WTF for me. After that dude posted that recap of Machida/Weidman I thought for sure Machida would have this one. If Machida isn't hurt I don't know what is going on with my life. I missed the Cummings/St. Proo fight but I kind of thought that St. Proo would get it done if it only went one round. But! I thought Cub would win tonight too. So I'm just all fucked up.

It's possible, he was apparently wincing at the weigh-in when he took his shirt off and favoring his left arm a bit. But someone pointed out he was doing the same at the weigh-in for the Dolloway fight, and he finished him in short order.
Is MACHIDA wincing from pain : MMA

Its a good thing that fighter did the right thing and let go of the choke when he knew his opponent was out or that could have been ugly. I can't really fault the ref because you can't really tell the guy goes out. I know alot of MMA guys would have been like "I am suppose to fight till the ref stops me" and those are typically the same dueche bag fighters that land blows on clearly KO'ed opponents after they are out. Dan Henderson forever lost all the respect I had for him when he dropped that 2nd shot on Bisping after he was completely out. I don't care what Bisping said or did beforehand that could have killed him or done serious brain damage.

So the Reebok deal is changing. Instead of being based on rankings it's going to be some combination of tenure/number of fights.
Plus the big hype people will still get the individual deals they've already started handing out like to JJ and PVZ.
This is much better.
edit: Some minor details.
"the UFC has opted instead to institute a tiered system based on tenure, or number of UFC bouts fought. Fighters also will be credited for bouts sanctioned by World Extreme Cage Fighting and Strikeforce, both of which were purchased and shuttered by UFC parent company Zuffa.
The new system places combatants into tiers of 1-5 fights, 6-10 fights, 11-15 fights, 16-20 fights and more than 21 fights. The only exception applies to title fights, as both title challengers and reigning champions will receive greater compensation. The UFC declined to share specific dollar figures for each class.
The UFC considers this model preferable for fighters because number of bouts is an objective scale, whereas fighters' rankings are determined by media members and are subjective in nature. It plans to officially notify fighters of the change in the coming weeks."

Yeah I mentioned it a couple months back. I kind of love the idea, though I haven't watched it enough to really judge.
