early prelims on
Alexandre Pantoja vs Eric Shelton next... both guys from the last TUF.
To think at the beginning of TUF, Pantoja was pissed with Cejudo because he called him the wrong name... Now they are BFF.

great 2 first rounds, but the 3rd was shit. Both guys totally exhausted. And they are Flyweight...
Hopefully altitude is not a big factor in the card, but it seems its gonna be.
I would give the fight to Pantoja.
edit. yes, the judges got it right!

Couldn't care less about this main event. Masvidal vs Cerrone is the one I want to see. Ngannou is going to retire Arlovski tonight.
That was Aldo's jiu-jitsu coach Ronaldo iirc. Cejudo called him Rafael.
Tonight's card looks decent. Looking forward to Shevchenko vs Pena and Cerrone vs Masvidal should be great. Worried about Arlovski going up against Ngannou though.
thx for the correction... Cejudo.
yeah, i think the main event should be a good one. Shevchenko is vicious, and Peña is relentless.
Cerrone vs Masvidal has me nervous... but i think Cowboy keeps with his run.
Arlovski is most probably fecked. But the altitude might help him if he can survive the first round.
That's key fighting in altitude. Finish the fight in the first round.
Good job Pezao 2.0

Eric Spicely vs. Alessio Di Chirico next.
Spicely was in TUF too, and except for his BJJ, he is quite average.
Di Chirico is the more complete fighter i think, but he hasn't been that impressive. He is quite young so i guess he should have improved a lot since his last fight.
If he can avoid putting himself in danger position for a submission, should win it.
edit. nice walk in song for Spicely! woooohhh ohhhh bro hymn
and one more submission to Spicely.. great grappler and Cirico played right into his game.

Reading Conors ppv interview it looks like the Floyd fight is a matter of time.
Saying the end of this year or start of next
If true we won't be seeing him back in UFC for a long time
just to probably come back to fight Nate Diaz.
To be honest I don't really care who he fights, but I very much enjoy his fights. So i don't like the idea of him being gone tha long
another great walk in song... simple man.
nice first round.
nice first round.

Great fight
yes!!!! great KO
Assuncao vs Sterling shit fight so far... both way too conservative.
Not a good fight
The Longo/Serra team have seen better days
Weidman lost his last two. Sterling not fulfilling early promise. Al Iaquinta hasn't fought for two years now

Smilin Sam up next
Ray Longo it's like the Arsene of MMA. Weidman needs to ditch him.
Good start to the Caceres-Knight fight
that hair
That was classic Caceres... when shit hits the fan, he gave up.
2-5 on his last 7.
Always good fun, but not tough enough for the top level.

Here we go! Can the Pitbull survive the first round?
feck that was quick. what a beast.

ok, Arlovski is finished.
Ngano needs to fight JDS or the like next.

Cain Velásquez would be a good one.
I think this guy can beat anyone. He's a bit like a HW version of Rumble. One graze and you're going down.
yep it's almost superhuman. If you stand up and trade with him, you are going to sleep.
A kamikaze tactic might be the only way. Run at him as soon as the bell rang and try to get a takedown? and then run away ahahha
Jon Jones might get to heavyweight some day... that fight would be awesome.
Controversial
Thought herb stopped that before the buzzer

holy crap! come on Cowboy!!
Cerrone savedby the bell big time !
wtf, Dean stopped the fight and then the bell went...
Herb DeanMasvidal is tearing him up here...
And now it is over!
What a win for Masvidal!
Really bad tactic by Cowboy... stand and trade with a better and stronger boxer.
Well... Robbie Lawler would be a good one next for Masvidal.

That would be an awesome fight.
Yeah, would be awesome. It's Lawler or Magny. From the top 10 no other fight makes sense.
ps. Feel bad for Cowboy and his granny... but well, it was a good run at a tough division. Should be proud still.
Peña has got this. Submission early on I reckon.
I've seen good porn films start exacly like this.
1 definitely shevchenko
Damage wise, Peña though. Big knees and submission attempts. Shevchekno did nothing on top.
