Howdy, Gang! Another Friday, another new episode of The Ultimate Fighter. I think we can all agree that this season has been better than most. Zuffa and FX have handled the live format very well. Where there's a live fight, there's probably a fun open post.

Tonight we will see Cruz's match-up between Al Iaquinta and the favorite Myles Jury. Expect a short one, combined they only have one decision on their record.


You know the drill; hang out, conversate, have some pie. It's B.Y.O.P. (bring your own pie).

Winner: Split Decision for Iaquinta after a third "sudden victory" round

Next Week's Fight: Faber regains the control of the fight pick and chooses Jeremy Larson on team Cruz and Michael Chiesa.

Welcome one and all to the UFC 143 open post! Come chat about who has the best hair, the loser in the crowd who just made a fool of themsleves, a plethera of fat jokes about Big Country, and some stuff about MMA.

Welcome to the Gals Guide To MMA play-by-play of the main card (If you are looking for the prelims, you will find them one story down on our wonderfully pink page). The action starts this evening at 8 p.m. EST. Feel free to join the conversation!

Overall it was a great night of action with nine out of twelve fights ending with finishes, Jon Jones retaining his light heavy weight belt, and a tie for the quickest knock out in UFC history. Not to mention, I made myself nachos and they were delicious. So much awesome MMA and cheesy goodness can only leave a mind like mine racing with questions.

Who's is going to beat Jon "Bones" Jones?

Stylistically Machida's quick movement and explosiveness make him one of the most well equipped men to face Jones. Machida is very hard to duplicate and train for because of his traditional marital arts base. In the first round of their fight you could sense Jones' frustration when his shots were not landing. Lyoto managed to even rock Jones slightly and steal the round. That might have been the first time we have seen Jones in that much trouble. Although, Jones did come back in the second round to put away Machida in a definitive fashion. Jones could very likely face Rashad Evans or Dan Henderson in the near future but are they too orthodox to deal with Jones' style? We might have to wait for Jones to move up a weight class before he is truly tested.

I kept hearing from the twitter community that Akiyama had a great enterance song. Unfortunately its not up on youtube yet. But I think I found something even better. This very well might the coolest thing I see this 4th of July. Bas has such a lovely singing voice. I need at least 75 words in this blog post but in reallity this video does all the talking on its own.
