Lasting image of #UFC163 -Jung biting down trying to pop his shoulder back in while one of the best finishers in the sport swarms #UFC

The irony of the second version of the Korean Zombie shirt is not lost on me. pic.twitter.com/f7XIYK0AhZ

Zombie apocalypse preparers: A Brazillian man has just learned to stop zoms all you need to do is separate their shoulders.

Zombie is literally falling apart. #UFC163

Davis vs. Machida Official UFC Statistics http://t.co/Wt5TwlYmV5 #mma
— FightMetric (@FightMetric) August 4, 2013
Wow!!! I had Machida winning all 3 rds but that's what happens when u leave it up to the judges!
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 4, 2013
Davis over Machida? Were the judges for this fight comprised of the jurors for OJ Simpson's murder trial? Holy smokes, people.
— Mike Fridley (@mikefridley) August 4, 2013
I agree. Round 1 takedown won the fight. It was takedown vs that one flurry. Close fight.
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) August 4, 2013
Excluding Shakira, the best hips on the planet belong to Machida.
— Ashley Christie (@AshChristieMMA) August 4, 2013
I want to live in a world where Machida uses that karate blitz all the time.
— Mike Whitman (@mikewhitmanmma) August 4, 2013
Is #StevenSeagal at #ufc163 to coach Machida? Maybe we will the see the cue ball in a towel technique...
— The Fight Doctor (@FightMedicine) August 4, 2013
Santos got hit with that hook and made a face like, 'Mother?'
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) August 4, 2013
as a giant meteor hurtles toward earth, you wail in despair, unable to comprehend our world's demise "shhhh," Goldberg says "it is all over"
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) August 4, 2013
Apart from his abysmal hair that wouldn't even belong on Heath Herring's head, Jose Maria Tome fought well, should hang out in UFC for a bit
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) August 4, 2013
If you bleed enough into the other's man mouth, is that still considered a blood choke? Thales Leites may force us to decide.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) August 4, 2013
OK, UFC 163, knock my socks off. Just know I am missing local ghetto roller derby where the girls paint their faces like skeletons for this.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) August 3, 2013
Already convinced Brian Stann is a natural at this. But I'll really be impressed if he can explain college football's conference realignment
— Tristen Critchfield (@TCritchfield52) August 3, 2013
edinaldo's camp was just his coach hastily explaining the diaz brothers to him, then telling him he had 3 weeks to become them
— jake shields fan #1 (@BrickSquadDad) August 3, 2013
knew a italian kid named ronnie yaya back in the 90's. son ain't know jiu jitsu but had the best counterfeit tommy hilfiger on the ave tho.

I never get sick of seeing that walkout clip where Ian McCall looks like he's strolling through a land of giants.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) August 4, 2013
MMA judging is so bad that Santos and his corner were certain they'd get a gift decision for being Brazilian. Think about that.
— EL (@TheTomasRios) August 4, 2013
Side note: If the UFC releases Neil Magny, I no longer have to worry about "Mangy" typos in my writing. Not that anyone cares.
— Tristen Critchfield (@TCritchfield52) August 4, 2013
Ian McCall landed 43 leg kicks tonight, tied for 4th most ever landed in a single UFC fight.
— Michael Carroll (@MJCflipdascript) August 4, 2013
In his last fight, Anthony Perosh was KO'd in 7 seconds. In this fight, he just won by KO in about 10. That's probably never been done.

It is painful listening to a well spoken eloquent @BrianStann being followed up by a cotton mouthed meat biscuit eating @bisping
