LOL, I could watch them all day. "You'll get your money when we feel like paying you" and "I bet you take it. That's what I've heard" have me dying.

Also Bukowski,

Yeah, TJ saying he's beat up Urijah for 4 years was ridic.

I'm not familiar with Francisco, what's he all about? I assume he'll be like everyone else and not be able to touch Rigondeaux?

Holly apparently got a standing ovation when they showed her on big screen at the Clippers game last night. The hype-train is begins at full speed. Also, found this great reaction video from reddit:

I'm a big Holly fan now. Yea im a bandwagoner because I only like her after she beat Ronda, but its more the way she carried herself. To stay humble in that moment, after everything Ronda did to her, that takes character. I got a ton of respect for her now.

Plus I get a giant boner over good footwork.

Lorenzo Fertitta is saying that 193 will be the 2nd biggest PPV in UFC history. Rematch at UFC 200 would probably break the record.

It took until about 90 seconds in the first round before the entire crowd turned on Rhita because they were glad that rooting for the champ might actually mean someone other than her.

seriously rewatch that fight and listen to the crowd, it's interesting to say the least.

crazy how huge Ronda made things for UFC and MMA in general to hit these kind of numbers

especially given she didn't have the pre-built fan base from WWE like Brock

Hahaha that was pretty good. Speaking of body bags

I did not expect Holly to blow up like this. Good for her.

GOAT card is still in tact 3 weeks out. If that main card remains unchanged that is some unbelievable run good. I don't think it's that likely Urijah gets the call if Aldo drops out unless Aldo gets injured the day of. I think 1) Frankie 2) Holloway 3) Mendes would be more likely.

Even more amazing given her personality.

As for Aldo, if he pulls out again he will surely be done in the UFC and will be the most hated fighter ever right? I know I would never forgive him.

Aldo lied about being injured to ferret out a leak in his camp.

Also, Joanna and her team watching Rousey get beat:
