Jiri Pracheska, lol!!!!!!!

Gary Tonin's Nick name should be Mella!!
jiri pacheska???? lol!!!!!
ugh the show is getting old. stop with the UFC comparison. To many ads in the first 5 min. We went away from the beginning.
Jane's Krauss situation is UFC's first cancel!!
damn if Dougie Houser's buddy loses , it's gonna be a eat crow day!!!!
Josh is delusional
jeez, 38 minutes of Josh going down on Islam!!!! wtf lol
instead of paying them a million to fight at this age, I'd rather see cyborg vs Fedor, lol!!!
i must be mistaken, i always thought Whittaker was small for 185, at 205 it seems he would be giving up reach and height in a big way, idk......i also think marvin is too sloppy to beat a Whittaker, who is too skilled for him, it'll have to be a shocker ko!! i like both these guys though and will be killer fight
i loved the Maui thai mixed in, was action packed!!
Josh must be talking about hannah from Alabama, that girl is tough!!
yeah the concept of PFL is pretty bad!
Josh is under suspicion for his early show talk, lol
putting on 35 pounds is gonna be a huge difference for a title fight for usman
I'll be the first in the comments to say, Brendan Schaub is not even close to funny!!
