I don’t know if it’s just me, but that live feed is unwatchable.

He’s a late replacement – Dias should be happy he’s fighting

Still don’t know what’s up with the Paixao/Fabiano bout (hopefully it’s still airing), but I hope at least that and Tamura/Tapia make air (then Yahya if there’s still more time after that).
