Waylon Lowe was almost as exciting as me starting on my taxes
ALMOST.

To be fair
I get pretty pumped about getting money back.

You Know
Today has been pretty crappy for me, so I’m glad I have started to consume some alcoholic beverages. I won’t get into details, except that I think I got even more mad at Office Depot than Neil did with the people that gave him the cable tuner card! Office Depot can go F off, as far as I’m concerned.
Anyway, I just started watching the stream a few minutes ago and it looks like I didn’t miss too much. Mike Brown fighting to the death against Yahya makes me wonder what happened with his career.
Problem was that they WOULDN'T give me the cable card
But yeah, if you’ve got computer problems, Office Depot is one of the last places I’d go to, unless I was mailing my PC off. And yeah, you haven’t missed a whole lot.

Well
It wasn’t even anything major that I tried to buy. It was printer ink cartridges for my Dell printer! I usually go to Staples to get that, and that’s what I should have done today. At OD, they only have refurbished cartridges… trust me, they’re pieces of crap that don’t work at all! I ended up getting store credit instead of my money back, meaning I have to go back to that dump one more time to use up the giftcard that has the store credit on it! I am not happy, to say the least, and in the future I’ll stick to Staples.

lolz
Right now on Brown’s Wiki page, there’s no method of victory (or less) but it says “TKO (Fail)”, so we’re not the only ones disappointed with his performance.
Loss, Even
Not “less”. And I just started drinking! That is not a good sign.

Same
And a pair of judges agree.

Yeah
Thankfully so. I’m also thankful that I am consuming alcohol, but I’m getting off-topic.

Oh Boy
The trips to the ER have started already! Hopefully that’s the only injury on the show tonight. We don’t need half a dozen guys going there like the last show in front of the troops.
That
Was uncomfortable.

Man, that Mike Brown fight was both frustrating and depressing. BTW, was I the only one who thought Yamasaki took a point from Yaya?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
I thought he would
But when he didn’t do the point walk, I figured it was just a warning.

Oh Boy
McKenzie’s hair… oh boy, as Forrest would say.
But hey, he’s a member of Team Fancy Pants and he’s like CM Punk in that he doesn’t shave his chest hair, so I guess it goes with the territory.
Awesome
I really enjoyed that bit of awkward (yet cool) grappling on the ground, especially the very end, where it looked like Cody was going for a sunset flip!
Note to refs world-wide
When a dude has someone’s back in a body triangle and a rear naked choke fully sunk in, STOP THE DAMN FIGHT. That idiot wasn’t going anywhere, and you let him go out.

Well
That ref IS a Texas mainstay… and Shorley has made some bad decisions in the past year or so if my memory serves me correctly.
That aside, I really enjoyed the fight.

Yeah, Jon Schorle is pretty bad overall.
This wasn’t his poorest performance, but it’s still bad. I mean, what was he going to do? It’s no different to me than letting a guy get pounded unconcious instead of stopping it in between punches while he’s still lucid.

Man, the quality of the stream during the Edwards-McKenzie fight was no good.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
It was the best for me on that one

Melvin Guilard: highly ranked
According to the mouthpieces of the UFC.

Has anyone ever utilized the double-axe handle greater than Matt Wiman?

I don't feel like there was enough damage to warrant 10-8s
Granted, it was one-sided, but it’s not like Wiman was getting that many clean shots in and hurting Miller.

Cinnamon toast cruch FTW
Also, this from Dana’s twitter:
One of the judges scored that 29 to 28!!!! That’s what I mean, these fighter need to be SCARED when they step in there. FUCKIN INSANE!!!
Half-point system isn’t going to fix it when a judge can’t pick the right fighter.

Yeah I couldn’t make out what they were saying. If it was an ROH crowd, it’d be “Man Up” a la Mark and Jay Briscoe.

29-28 Beltran
And he deserves it too.

Oh
So you still hate Berry for the Cro Cop fight, I take it.
Anyway, the fight wasn’t technically pretty, but for the most part it was still entertaining.

I'm even more dissapointed at this one than I was that fight
I figured that Barry would come out and murder Beltran, but he was happier pushing him away than ripping off anything that would end the fight. A few minutes into the second round he had Beltran on the ropes, dazed and stumbling, and at the end of the round his face was bloodied. WTF IS THAT?

But, as Forrest would say, “Neither guy is any good”.

Been a few years since he's done that

lol George Roop
is the main thing I thought. Not that I was too surprised he got drilled in the face repeatedly.

My god
Mark Hominick LAYING WASTE to Roop.

“If this guy keeps improving this way, he’s going to be a top contender.” – Joe Rogan on Matt Mitrione.
Your thoughts on this?
He keeps making big improvements
But going from awful to not-so-awful is a far cry from going from awful to champion material. He probably loses to most top-ten heavyweights today.

Tim Hague lost to Todd Duffee in 7 seconds. Is it really suprising that he got blown away by Matt Mitrione?

I'm not sure
But he may have eaten Cruz for lunch
