Damn.. Varner back on prelims already. Moraga fought for a title almost a year and a half ago.. and back on prelims.

Varner is on a 3-fight losing streak, so it's understandable.

It's funny how Moraga went from fighting on the Facebook prelims to headlining a card with Mighty Mouse. I don't understand how the UFC can expect to build stars/fighters this way.

RDA is going to beat Nate, I wouldn't really call that an upset.

There's still inconsistency in how the UFC handles things, along with the fact that nobody gives a shyt about flyweights outside of Mighty Mouse.

Most people don't really care about Mighty Mouse as well.

and if diaz wins everyone will be like right? wrong.
Casuals have never heard of dos anjos this is FOX, his opponent while not a "needle mover" has some recognition and has headlined a special, its an upset screw tiddlywink rankings

Damn like that? I think Nate is going to come through

If Overeem doesnt fukk up and JDS wins, what are the chances their next match is between them?

meh, overeem catching that high knee from struve

If Struve KO's Reem with a knee I am actually going to be furious. But then again Miococ got TKO'd with some uppercuts from Struve.

Don't fukk this up Reem smfh
GIVE US THAT JDS MATCH

although reem will get spectacularly knocked out by Cigano

Glad to see Nate back in the UFC, can't remember if they stopped paying him that funny money . Really looking forward to his fight with Dos Anjos. Also seeing how JDS looks in his return, seems like its been forever since he took that beating from Cain.

Also interested in the Claudia/Joanna matchup. I've good things about both ladies and winner probably faces whoever wins the SW belt on Friday.
