JDS is a 5-to-1 favorite in this fight. I think that’s a little out of control. His experience, big fights, favorite, yes. 5-to-1?

Miocic going right to the fence. Trying to Cain his way past JDS. Easier said than done.

Well, this is a new one. The Fox camera guy nearest Miocic’s corner is pounding on the cage, yelling his support for Miocic.

Junior dos Santos needs something major. Miocic has him busted open and is styling on him, just gaining confidence. Like Nelson fight 2.0.

Can’t help but think those 2 beating JDS took from Cain have had some lasting effects. And I’m not just talking about physically.

Junior dos Santos is too damn tough for his own good.

Looks like it. RT @jeremybotter: Cain Velasquez took years off Junior’s career.

Stipe Miocic is beating the breaks off of Junior Dos Santos so far. Can’t say I really saw this coming. We’ll see if he can keep it up.

Can’t help but flash back to those unneeded extra 15 minutes or so of brutalization JDS took in that last Cain fight.

In case you were wondering, the Fox cameraman just told Miocic that “THIS IS YOURS! IT’S YOURS!”
— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) December 14, 2014
My god. Stipe’s got a damn chin on him.

That was a slapping left hook that JDS landed. Imagine if it was a clean punch. Night would be over.

FOX cut away for a second while dos Santos was grabbing his junk. LOL.

If JDS just missed me with uppercuts like those, I’m pretty sure the image would wake me up in terror every night for the rest of my life.
— Dave Doyle (@davedoylemma) December 14, 2014
This place just erupted.
— Shaheen Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) December 14, 2014
The amount of blood oozing off Stipe Miocic’s mouthguard as he walked off was unreal.
— Shaheen Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) December 14, 2014
Whoa….dual 49-46s for JDS? No way….
— Steven Marrocco (@MMAjunkieSteven) December 14, 2014
Stipe Miocic immediately stormed out of the Octagon. He’s already in the back.
— Shaheen Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) December 14, 2014
Way to take the air out of a fantastic fight, judges.
