    Some guys are just better, regardless if they miss weight or not. I don't see Rockhold beating Romero on any planet. I didn't really see Barboza beating Lee either. I guess the better guy sometimes weighs more than he's suppose to. If it's only a pound or 2 and the other opponent is good...

    Usman vs. Ponzinibio is off for UFC Chile...Shogun vs. Volkan has also been pulled from the card. I don't see anyone stepping up to fight Usman on a month notice in Chile. Good chance they card might get scrapped.

    Jon Jones news will probably be coming during a big announcement from the UFC usually around July 4th weekend. There are some OK fights until the Chicago card in June but nothing to really get excited about I'd say. I think Fedor and Mir fight next weekend or something . I'll probably watch that.

    New season of TUF starts in 10 mins. Everyone is undefeated on the show. I like this narrative and this will be the first TUF I've watch in a very long time.

    Fears

    Everyone has them. I was never afraid of heights until recently. I could still get on any rollercoaster etc, but maybe it's because I'm climbing on roofs and I have a two a half year old and another one coming in July. My new job involves climbing on roofs and if the roof has a 9/12 pitch...

    The card this weekend is actually pretty good. I got Barboza, Swanson, Willis, Branch, Sterling, and Hooker . A little surprised Cummins is the first fight on the televised prelims. He has seemed to be doing alright as of late and having pretty fun fights to watch.

    Man I was quite disappointed with Israel Adesanya's performance. Any top 10 guy should be able to take him out after seeing that performance. Derek Brunson is a pretty good crazy striker but he also has a bad ass wrestling base and he's still ranked in the top 10. Maybe that's the fight to...

    Max probably won't even beat Ortega. If Ortega improves his striking, and it seems to be improving, there is not reason to count him out of the picture. But then again, Max has looked great in his last few fights. Whose to say he couldn't compete at 155 now. He's young and he's learned a lot...

    I don't see Goldie tying into the grand scheme of things. Anik does a good job. Had they got rid of Rogan then that would have been a big deal. Goldie doesn't matter. He's not a Mauro Ranallo and no one was hoping he'd stay. The UK cards with guys with British accents are some of the better...

    Well, I can stop you right there. Jon Jones, love him or hate him wasn't even really considered being a great wrestler collegiatelly (however it's spelled) or anything. Yet he manhandles a guy that was an Olympic wrestler in Cormier. A guy that has done the same against much larger...

    It hasn't really been mentioned much but I thought Khabib started to gas maybe going into the 3rd round but definitely showed some fatigue in the last two rounds. Those takedowns became much harder to pull off and keep Al down. Maybe he threw too many punches and that was it, but his cardio...

    Only Khabib is fighting for the belt. Al was over by .2 lbs so he won't get to fight for it. Kinda sucks, he weighed in early and couldn't made that no problem. Khabib opens as -1050 favorite. Iaquinta +550 underdog I think is what I saw.

    I never said it was good publicity, but the old adage is any publicity is good publicity. Since when did the UFC give a fuck about any of that? Probably gonna get his license revoked in a state he won't fight in, be fined $250k and fight the winner of the main event in September for a couple...

    It'll be Jon Jones probably. Anyone else will wreck him. Jon wil wreck him too but him being smaller might make it seem like Brock has an advantage to the average fan. 227 seems quite a ways out. DJ just don't wanna fight anyone that could possibly challenge him I guess. I think he'd roll...

    I didn't see the interview but that's the match to make. They will have to market him as Khabib, kind of how they did Joanna. Who knows if GSP even wants that fight though.

    Well he is 5'11" and has said before the move to lightweight is inevitable. Maybe Max will look better at 155. Will be hard to tell against Khabib, coming off of an injury, and 6 days notice. I'm kind of rooting for him, but at the same time I know how much the UFC needs Khabib to be a...

    Thought Evans was going back to 205. I'm with you on TJ/DJ not being a superfight. Brunson has been campaigning for that one...maybe he'll get it maybe not. Even though Till is ranked #7, he is still a top contender. I'm kind of glad that they consider top 10 guys as contenders. I still...
