Aside from those 15 marquee matchups over the next 8 days there are also around another 35 fights that could bring epic entertainment.

For those needing some good fights to watch to take your mind off your troubles for a few hours. Enjoy the next 8 days.

About to kick off in just over 24 hrs.

Last thing I'll say in this fail of a thread is this...

Go out to a decent restaurant, order yourself a nice medium rare porterhouse, get your lady a crab cake or a filet or whatever it is she wants. Have a beer or two, order the woman whatever wine she drinks. Maybe get the scallops as an appetizer, perhaps the bruschetta for the lady, bitches love that shit.

After your meal, make sure to tank Chad Mendes, he is buying everyone steak dinners tomorrow night.

Mendes at +170 is your ticket to a free steak dinner. Don't tank Conor, tank Chad.

I thought Mendes was gonna be the porterhouse ticket but he turned out to be the road to ramon noodles.

Man did these fights deliver or what (so the thread didn't) ! Waterson and that back n forth of armbars was cool too as well as Masvidals debut at 170. Gotta take two days off and hopefully the last half of the listed fights deliver just as much as the first 7

It was an awesome card yesterday, had a great day with the family. On to the next round Phone Post 3.0

Mir showing he ain't done yet. Tony Ferguson vs. Josh Thomson turned out to be amazing. Holm looked good. That Jubain (sp) kid hitting that cartwheel kick was sick.

Been a great 5 days for the UFC and got another to go in the great 8.
