    Anyone watching Ultimate Fight Night Live tonight saw Drew McFedries absolutely fuck Brandon Radev up in the first fight of the night.

    Radev gets hit a few times. Then McFedries lands an uppercut that knocks Radev down and he falls to his back like he's hurt, but ready to defend. (We've seen this many, many times).

    The next move (always) is the other fighter coming down with his best punch. Of course, this is what happens this time, too. And it lands huge. Radev probably was out before that, and he's surely out now. The ref, Jorge Alonzo, fucked up and was going the wrong direction so McFedries lands another huge shot. Okay...a good ref stops it after the first shot, but a competent ref stops it after the 2nd, for sure.

    No. Alonzo is so slow to get in that McFedries lands a 3rd huge bomb before getting tackled off by the ref.

    Radev is knocked the fuck out.

    What happens next? We really don't know. The UFC crew completely ignores Radev's condition. Commercial break. Bullshit chatter. More commercials. Bullshit chatter. More commercials.

    The next fight doesn't begin until 28 minutes after the hour. So that gives you an idea of how much time is getting wasted without any update on Radev.

    Huge blow to the credibility and integrity of the UFC, imo, and to Joe Rogan who is one of the announcers and, imo, one of the best commentators for any sport. But here, he has his chance to deal with some adversity and he plays shill. At least that's what it looks like.

    I'd love to hear some others take on this...

    Forgot all about this show. The UFC hasn't dealt with any serious injuries inside the octagon as of yet. If the fighter is ok, then it's no big deal. Although they SHOULD be keeping viewers informed of a fighter's condition. I don't know if Rogan is being told to keep quiet about it or not.

    Good night of fights tonight. A couple highlight reel KO's, and a very good fight in the main event.
