WHAT AN ANIMAL!
It's a matter of time before he's got the belt, mark my words.

Bloody hell, I worried he'd have snapped his neck after that weird front flip
Too easy for Gustafsson.
what happens next? fight for the title again or put him against, lets say, Cormier first?

Good tko.
Can't wait for the Gus v Jones rematch.
Has to be a title fight. For me he won the fight against Jones, but fair dues it went against him but either way he deserved the rematch just based on that alone. Now he comes out and has a performance like that and a devastating knockout, no doubt what so ever he should be going straight into the next title fight against the winner of Glover/Jones.
Cormier/Davis while that's all going down.
I watched it on Channel 5, god that presenter was awful. Gustaffson was very impressive!
Which presenter? I thought John Gooden an Dan Hardy did a good job of commentating though!
But if you mean the presenter on Ch5 that was sitting with Forrest Griffin, yea he was an idiot. He asked Griffin what "cornering a fighter" meant?! feck offfffff.
Yeah that idiot with Forrest Griffin. I can sense that Griffin just wanted to give that guy a bloody 10 minute ground and pound. He was worse than Adrian Chiles, and that takes some doing
Bad stoppage, Manuwa could have continued, he was never unconscious or not defending himself intelligently.
The fights just keep coming!!!

Hendricks going into the fight at as low as -351 and as high as -588 on the first odds listing site that pops up on google.

-400 comes out to an 80% chance to win (1/4), if I'm understanding math here, which would be nice.
Lawler has lost 5 of his last 9.

Can't see Lawler winning really, but still a fun as feck fight (I hope). Hendricks has fought way higher competition recently.
Has Hendricks ever been knocked out? Also, gotta love a Diego Sanchez fight 
Nope, he took some bombs from Koscheck if I remember correctly but he wasn't even really wobbled. I can't wait for the Condit fight, would love to see him win the belt eventually! Pity his wrestling is shit because he has everything else.Has Hendricks ever been knocked out? Also, gotta love a Diego Sanchez fight
Yeah, if he wins his fight he'll surely be next in line for another title fight against the winner of Hendricks vs Lawler? Or is there someone else I'm overseeing?
Depends really, Hector Lombard just moved down to WW and already has one KO win. If he can also take out Jake Shields in similar fashion, Condit vs Lombard for next title shot would be good.
Hector Lombard at welterweight? The guy makes Overroid look like a school girl. How did he cut weight? With a machete?
Check it out, it was pretty cool. Just stalked him around the cage a bit then hammerfisted his head like it was a coconut.Also, I have Fight Pass (because I love MMA but I'm a terrible person for giving Dana any more money) and TUF Brazil is on it, the one Wanderlei and Chael are coaching. Anyway, watched the first episode and it has guest "coaches" who are just two random women who are famous in Brazil for beach volleyball or some shit. They literally spend their time talking about how violent everything is, I have no idea why or whose idea it was to put them there but it's just completely random and nonsensical.
Lawler was knocked out by a Nick Diaz jab, though he's spend most of his career since below the UFC level and has not been knocked out since.
Yeah, I've seen it the other day. At one point it looked like the blonde one was almost going to cry or pass out. What a ridiculous idea to bring them in when they don't like fighting.As for the fighters, the blond young dude looked sensational, i think he might win this whole thing.
Pretty strange really but not surprised.
Quite disappointed with the first episode considering all of the hype and build up but in fairness that's usually the norm for the opener as you have the fights to get into the house which basically takes up most of the episode. I'm mostly interested just the Sonnen/Silva feud, so little of that in the opener but expect much more in the upcoming episodes.
Uh oh...Hendricks missed weight, weighed in at 171.5lbs. Needs to lose 1.5lbs in an hour or two, that's a lot and he already looked pretty drawn out on the scales.
Just shave his beard, job done.
He was shaking on the scales and stuff, looked a bit fecked.
Probably dehydrated as feck. If he's gotta lose another lb and a half, might be an idea to lump on Lawler to win!
Kevin Gastelum also didn't make weight, and two other fighters just barely made weight. Strange.
I have a tenner on a double of Rick Story and Lawler! £93 if it wins.
Scales knackered? I can't believe the fighter's don't know presicely what they weigh before stepping out for the official weigh-in.
feck knows, but it's a bit weird. It was this big obese fecker operating them, which hardly inspires you with confidence that he knows how scales work. Looks like he hasn't weighed himself in decades. He also shouted out 145...when it was a flyweight at 125.
They just said even if Hendricks doesn't make weight, and Lawler wins, Lawler gets the title.
Presuming if he didnt make the weight the fight wouldnt fall into the "any other outcome" market on betfair?
Nah, if he doesn't make the weight they are still fighting.
Jesus, he doesn't look like he'll be fit to fight in the next month, never mind day....Does not look good!
