Just saw Rich Franklin's wife with a group of women, except Rich is not even in Indy. Weird. It's like she's here on a girl's getaway weekend
Frank Mir getting some boos as he makes his entrance to Kanye West's "Amazing."
Jon Jones just tweeted he has "homework" to do. Likely foreshadowing a future scrap with Ryan Bader.

I score round 3 to Bader for 30-27 total.
Round 3 (cont) - Jab Lil Nog, left hook/right hook from Bader scores. Lil Nog clips Bader and Bader sticks out his tongue. Big takedown from Bader as Lil Nog comes forward may seal it with 45 secs left. He's in full guard. Tired hammerfists by Bader and the horn sounds.
