Melbourne must've changed it's attitude to caged fighting! Last I knew it was banned.

Jone Jones has been stripped of his title due to a hit-and-run (and more). Will now be DC vs Rumble for the vacant title.

Can't believe both ref and corner allowed that to happen to Hunt. Should have been stopped end of rd4 at the latest.

Yeah, it was horrible to watch.

That's the job of a corner, to protect their fighter when he won't protect himself.

If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Rousey in 34 seconds. :shock:

I have always hated her but she is the best in the world and at a level like no other. Simply have to be in awe of her mixed skill set.

Very nice touch to dedicate it "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. It's not at easy to hate someone when they perform and show class. Credit where it is due. 8)

I've always been a fan. Amazing that her 36-second fight today lasted longer than her previous 2 title defences combined.

Ridiculous decision.

On a different note - got my ticket, flight, accommodation and leave sorted for UFC 193 at Etihad Stadium!
