I saw HErb wave it off an deleted it off the box. Has he hung them up then? Good. Thank you for the memories BJ. Enjoy your down-time.
I'm 80% sure they were asking him about the HOF and he said that Dana had suggested it was time to hang em up and he now agreed

It sounded like Dana said no more to him off screen and he agreed. I think BJ even said he didn't know what he was doing there trying to fight at that level again, i think the loss of weight made him weaker and he wasn't in the condition hes used to trying to fight. It seemed he was very stiff compared to before the way he was moving when stood up.

Sad to see a former champ go out like that. Really no idea what BJ's tactics were supposed to be though, he didn't throw anything and was defensive off his back. Odd.

a couple of good fights tonight, really difficult to call the Cerrone vs Miller fight. Barbosa vs Dunham should be good too

looking forward to the Dublin card at the weekend, always love watching Gunnar and Mcgregor should get his toughest test yet

I'm next fighting on 2nd August for the Impact Fight Uk welterweight title in Wisbech (so clearly only just slightly removed from the UFC...)

Thanks smile i'm looking forward to it, had a few potential opportunities to fight for titles before but couldn't make it happen with work commitments etc, tbh preperation isn't ideal for this one but i'm determined to win something before i finish competing

Really enjoyed Wednesday night's fights, some great finishes and generally just really entertaining fights.

Cerrone is on a serious run of form at the minute, will be interesting to see who they give him next, no doubt Barboza will be pushing for a rematch

Now Linekar seems to have his cardio and weight-cut sorted there are some great potential fights for him, maybe fight the winner of Pickett vs Mcall

Cerrone vs Miller was an awesome fight, i love how Cerrone wants as many fights this year as he can get. His kicks are just brutal.

yes

The one that wasn't a groin strike looked very painful

What happened to the UFC? My Virgin Tivo EPG says Fight Night 46 is on now - but there's some American Football documentary on!??

The Dublin card was great, fair play to the Irish fans, probably the best atmosphere i've seen at an MMA event, i didn't think anyone would be able to surpass the Brazilians but they may have done it

I hope they give Mcgregor Poirier or Swanson next, both fights would be superb
