Was watching sportsnet's UFC show last night and when asked what he would be doing if he weren't a UFC fighter Brian Stann said he'd be in the CIA. I wouldn't doubt that for a second.

Siver has to shed one more pound, other then that everybody made weight.

Siver made weight on his second attempt...actually got down to 145.

I have a wedding to go to right as the main card is starting tomorrow, but the ceremony is only a two minute drive from my place, and I will definitely be coming home between the ceremony and the reception in the evening and watching the rest of the card.

I am really looking forward to watching some fights tomorrow.

Quote of the day - Luke Thomas on Mark Hunt's twitter: "my sense about his twitter feed, and I haven't studied it extensively, but from a general reading of headlines, it's like if James Joyce were a meathead." OMG that is classic. I'm still laughing and it's been more then five minutes since I listened to it.

I don't have Fuel TV. Anybody know where I can catch the main card fights?

 

[canucksfreak19]

The prelims are streaming live on facebook right now, have been quite fun.

The main card is being shown on sportsnet1 in Canada.

 

[canucksfreak19]

GSP is actually cornering Fracncis Carmont, don't see that everyday.

 

[canucksfreak19]

That was a great, close, fight between Nunes and Siver.

 

[canucksfreak19]

Siyar Bahadurzada...damn.
