BREAKING: Chris Weidman will defend his UFC middleweight title belt vs. Vitor Belfort on May 24 in Las Vegas. (via @bokamotoESPN)

If Weidman wins via decision or knockout/finish after the 2nd round, Does he gain anybodies respect here as the tru champ, or we still putting an astrix beside his name?

If Rashad comes in on top of his game, this is going to a very tough fight for Cormier.

Good for DC. Saw a lot of folks online counting him out and dismissing the idea before dude even began cutting

He's gonna have a long night tho because Rashad is a quick dude and is used to being 205

Is he jus dieting his way down to 205lb without cutting any weight? Because if hes 205lb and rashad come in the octagon @ 225lb,

Good question. That said Evans is pretty dense muscle wise. Cormier may not have the luxury to stay around 225 and have cardio.

This should make everyone shut the fukk up about his weight. It's bad enough people were whining because he was....beating top 10 HWs.

I'm not sure if it ever came out but Dana was pushing for Frank Mir to become the Strikeforce commentator and get rid of Frank Shamrock. Showtime denied it. It cause a pretty big beef that led to them shutting down. They also tested Frank out for the old FX job now FS1. They chose Kenny instead .

Kenny is NOT worse than Shamrock. Come on, now.

I don't get excited about fights until the day before they happen. Injuries

i wonder who is better from their back Cormier or Rashad? Both guys have never really been put on their back that much in their careers. yeah we give the speed edge to Rashad, give DC the knockout power over Rashad, Both are amazing wrestlers but I'm thinking DC does the near impossible and gets rashad done and from there who knows.

When's the last time either guy has ever been injured?

As much as i hate cowboy, cant knock the fact that he is a hustler. Literally fights every 3-4 months. Compare that with Pettis who has only fought 3 times despite them both coming in from WEC at the same time

But Pettis is sitting out for injuries. It's not like he is chilling picking spots.
