I hope Vitor falls out of his fight with Weidman. I think Luke would beat Chris

hmmm... not sure if rockhold has the grappling chops to match weidman. i know we haven't seen weidman's grappling much but much has been made of his prowess.

that one armed choke from mount though
literally stunting on bisping


edit: Shogun or St Preux??
Shogun looking like he's having a slight resurgence, he looked ok in the hendo fight. Preux with his wild ass swings and suspect cardio might get cracked. Shogun got that zombie ability to get gassed in round 2 but still knock you out in round 4-5.

Yeah those body kicks have Weidman's name on them, I don't see Chris getting out of the way of those

I'm pretty sure Longo will have a gameplan in place to catch those kicks for the TD.

Weidman hasn't used his grappling much in his last three fights. He'll test his stand-up and Rockhold has DC and Cain in his camp, who better than them to work on his wrestling with.

Looking at the results, sounds like it was an action packed card with 11 straight finishes

Good to see Rockhold do what he needed to against Bisping. Been a fan of his since the Strikeforce days, only thing that can really hamper him is injuries. If Jacare has next against the winner of Weidman/Belfort, a Yoel Romero fight could be fun.

With both fighters shoring up their weaker areas we might see a thrilling fight, if it comes to fruition

Can we all agree Bisping is done as a contender?

Mos def, he'll slide into a nice gatekeeper status and get paid well for doing so.

Knew Rockhold would destroy Bisping. Totally different class of fighter.


I don't want him to fight Jacare much like I don't want Rumble and Gustafsson to fight. They're the most dangerous contenders in the division and I want to see the champion in with both of them.

Naw gus needs to fight rumble. Everyone else has tough fights yet he gets soft pitches and bullshyt.

So Ian McCall is out of his fight tomorrow due to illness.
