Does anybody know what made the UFC decide to sign Waldburger? Was he brought in to take a loss to Mitchell? They’re both BJJ tacticians, but Mitchell is the far superior fighter.

Good question
He’s won three in a row but that’s on the heels of two losses. Maybe Joe Silva sees something no one else does?

I think Maia is going to pull his arm out of his socket.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Spike's (and I guess the UFC's) insistence on using Fight Nights as a lead-in to their programming
Genuinely makes me hope we get more UFC on Versus cards so West Coast people don’t deal with this dumbass tape delays.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Everytime I see Natal's picture
I think “Wait, when did Rickson Gracie start fighting again?”, but only for a second.

Maia / Belcher...
is one of those fights where you hate to see one guy lose.
However, I have a hard time seeing Belcher beating Maia here.
I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.
