Wild fight. Should have been stopped in the second. Great performance by Magny, give him a top 5 guy again.

Could have been stopped in the first too, tbh.
yep great performance, and great determination to stay on the fight. He was a goner but his chin is solid gold.
Steve Percebal is crazy

It could have but Magny was moving around still trying to avoid the barrage, but Magny had him flattened out for at least a minute in the second over 40 unanswered strikes with no defence. Glad he got the win in the end.
Someone needs to do before and after pics post USADA for a bunch a fighters that include Belfort, Mir, Overeem etc.
The changes in physique are ridiculous

Mark fecking Hunt
Frank Mir looking Roy Nelson esque in his physique, Joe.
JDS and Machida as well. Massive change in physique and performance.
That's a stupid comment really.
Yep.
Meant to say it would be a different result, as in not a first or second round knockout.
I'm on TRT at the moment. Makes a massive difference in the gym.
Great card
I was surprised frank didn't protest the finish. I don't think he was out and surely would like hunt on the mat trying to finish

The trouble with Hunt is that his hands are so heavy that even a punch that grazes you can knock you out.
Here, I done the Frank Mir before/after pic.
Just caught up with the last few fights. Fantastic performance by Magny. He's putting together a decent resume with wins over Gastelum and now Lombard in succession. Jonny Hendricks next for him maybe?
Also I fully expected ther walk off KO in the main event. Love seeing Hunto win.

He was too busy watching the flying horses around his head. He was done.
Great fights last night, one of the events of the year so far.
I don't care if the first fight was good, TJ vs Cruz was amazing, why didn't that get a rematch?
I also imagine many fighters believe they can beat people's who best them, didn't mean everyone should get rematch.
Your other points are correct, UFC are doing a runback because of the money they want and because McGregor wants revenge... Can't hurt the feelings of the king right? It's bullshit
UFC needs some fresh blood at Heavyweight. Haven't had any decent fighters come through in ages.
Maybe they'll sign Veerhoven? Hope so...
heavyweight seems like a hard division I guess if you are young enough you'd just cut the weight to 205, just to not have to deal with tubby freaks and their one punch power.
I think the 265 limit is a bit high. If they cut it to 240 (as if 206 to 240), I think the likes of Rothwell, Hunt, Nelson, Mir, and the rest of them would be much better fighters, at least in terms of stamina and cardio. There's really no excuse for Roy Nelson to walk around as he is in the above pic.
Rothwell is pretty spry despite the weight, the rest of them just eat like shit and don't care, cause it's never making it out of the first round anyway so who needs to give a shit about cardio.
Couldn't a guy with better stamina and a leaner body just dance around them until they tire out?
Less so in the HW division since the punches are stronger, where one punch can end things more so than in the lighter divisions.
FFS, Nelson's whole strategy is "land one punch, win fight".
Punches are slower too. Just go in, hit and get out. The guys are too slow and fat to chase you around too much.
Yes and no, 5 minute round x 3 avoiding that one haymaker that ends your night is boring as hell to watch. Everyone hates decisions and there is no decision victory more boring than a heavyweight fight, if you always win via decision your moving up the rankings is gonna be slow.
When they tire towards the end throw a few haymakers of your own. How its acceptable that fat bastards like Roy Nelson can compete competitively is beyond me. He is in worse shape then my 60 year old dad.
He has the potential to be another European star, marketing wise. They'd be wise to get him on board.
So I'm thinking our UFC 200 card will looks something like this...
Mousasi vs. Brunson
Cain vs. Browne
Aldo vs. Edgar
Lawler vs. Condit
McGregor vs. Diaz
According to Ariel McGregor Diaz will be announced sometime this week apparently.

That's underwhelming.
Mousasi vs. Brunson will probably be prelim and maybe even Cain too. Ariel reported there'll be a relevant fighter people want to watch fighting in every fight, people will be happy with the card and I think it'll make up for the main event being a non title fight.
If that is the case is pretty shit. The two main events are rematches even though the originals were good, it doesn't get the blood flowing as much by being rematches so soon
Read my post above, I think a couple of the fights I listed will be prelim. UFC intend for every fight to have well known and relevant fighters involved.
At 200, I'd like to see (in no particular order:
Jones v Rumble
McGregor v Aldo
Lawlor v Thompson
Bigfoot Silva v Mighty Mouse & John Dodson
Hunt v Overeem
Belfort v Rockhold
GSP v Silva.
