That was one of the best free cards I've seen in a while. The whole card was great, most of the prelims were great, and the main event was awesome. [Reply]

Good luck with that, he will be Big Rig II if he can't stop eating so much. [Reply]
7pm TV - (5:30 pm Fightpass/7pm FXX/9pm PPV) - UFC 214 Cormier vs Jones 2
Unless a total disaster happens during weight cuts to multiple fighters, this will probably be on paper the best card of the year. If you only pay for 1 or 2 UFC PPV's a year, then this is it. For crying out loud, fucking Cowboy vs Lawler is only the 2nd fight on the PPV. The prelim is pretty good, too.
8pm TV - (5pm internet stream/8pm NBC Sports Net) - PFL 2
I hadn't been including the Professional Fighters League, but I found out NBC sports is on my cable, so what the hell. (Anything on AXS TV is still dead to me) Their 2nd show is competing directly against Cormier vs Jones 2. lol, good luck with that. I guess they are hoping that die-hard MMA fans who are dead flat broke might switch after the UFC prelims.
Sunday
8pm - (Fightpass) - Eddie Bravo Invitational 12
EBI is a submission-only tournament with no judges. Its pretty fun to watch if you like jiu-jitsu, and this time around the weight class is female flyweights.

Both guys weighed in! Jones weighed in at 204.5 and Cormier at 205. Cormier vs Jones TOMORROW LIVE on PPV!!! pic.twitter.com/cpFXaMFwjy

Nope, but he did need the towel. Cyborg also didn't come out for an hour after weighins started and needed to use the hoop of shame, but she made 145. [Reply]

Everyone is writing her off but Tonya Evinger is a great fighter. If she makes it out of the first she has a really good shot to beat Cyborg. [Reply]
