Gastelum didn't make weight, weighed in at 172. Dunno about Hendricks yet. Nick Diaz was in the crowd for the weigh ins, told one of the reporters he could make 170 by 3am :lol:
And I bet he would too if they'd let him fight for the title and a big wallet.
 
I hope Woodley comes out swinging like he did against Kos. Condit has never been knocked out, but that right cross that Woodley put on Kos would knock out any man alive.

But Condit is one of my favorite fighters, and I'd love to see him pick Woodley apart as well.
 
I couldn't even score that final round. A draw might be the fairest result. Great fight!
I give it to Story for having back control and going for the rear naked. Nothing else significant really happened. How the fuc do you score it 30-27 though? That means giving Gastelum the round were he was dropped and nearly finished. Terrible.
 
This could be brutal. Shields might find it hard to take Lombard down, and he could get mauled in the striking. I do tend to underestimate Shields though, and I pretty much despise him for having the temerity to beat Hendo.

EDIT: Jaysus, Lombard looks frightening.
 
Absolutely. He's got all the talent and athleticism in the world but his workrate is just too low to beat the top guys. A shame as he looked incredible in that first round.
He did indeed. On any other card, fighting Condit or such would be a main event and a 5 rounder, which would be even worse for him.
