I love it. I've got AfterEffects at half-screen and streaming contender on the other side. Killer. Bring on the fights!

Now, I know it's not dramatic, but I'd rather see bouts like this on the Contender than the heavily edited versions with crowd reaction cut-aways.

Yeah, much better to just see it unedited. Thankfully tonights fights will be the same as these since they are live.

Not sure what the one judge was smoking who had Brent ahead. What a tomato can, how'd he ever get on the show?

And I didn't know there was going to be a fight for 3rd! Sweet!! So that will be the fight before the Snake and Peter?

I hope Alfonzo freakin clocks Jesse... I just can't stand him.
