Cormier is pudgy as hell. Lay off the twinkies, dude.

Time to crown a new champion

Vitor again with a 1200 testosterone level. What a piece of ######. I hope he gets destroyed by Weidman. I predict a third round stoppage. I want DC to win, but man he better be careful. Johnson has some crazy power. I predict a surprise submission in the second round. Probably not. Haha.

Chris Weidman went 5 rounds against Machida and won. Post-TRT Vitor, two years removed from his last fight, just isn't the kind of guy that can beat him 9 out of 10 times. Weidman's testosterone levels were also "weird" for a guy his age. As for DC, he's coming in on short notice and, truth be said, he hasn't fought anyone before that had that kind of power in their hands. If he makes it a grinding affair, he can attempt to out gas Rumble. But a stopped takedown could spell disaster for him. Some good punches and gameplaning starts to get tricky.

This was pathetic. Vitor had NOTHING outside of that 30 second burst at the start. He faded incredibly fast and got mauled easily. As he stands, he's nothing without TRT.

 

As for the main event, Rumble got me believing when he landed that first hard punch... and then he gassed badly almost immediately so it was all a matter of time until he got wrecked. Still, that version of DC isn't improved to the point where he can beat Jones when he returns. Also, that manufactured animosity between Bader and DC is getting old pretty fast.

 

The rest of the card was alright. Dodson got gifted a decision that he didn't deserve, didn't really make his case for the next title shot. Burkman has zero fight IQ, which only dumps on WSOF for having him as their champion. Uriah Hall is a complete bust.

 

Browne vs.Arlovski was AWESOME.

Bethe Correia apologizes to Ronda Rousey for suicide comment, pleads ignorance

Condit looks good. Hopefully he beats Alves and lines himself up for a title shot.

[Anibal P]

Think it's safe to say Condit's back 

[D. S. Veteran]

Think it's safe to say Condit's back 

 

 

Yep. And looking like he never left. Lentz vs Oliveira was also pretty great. Apart from some prelims fights, the rest of the card was a straight up garbage fire that lasted over 6 hours with horrible pacing.

Savagery.

 

And now some from UFC 187.

UFC Fight Night: Boetsch vs. Henderson was awesome beyond words.

 

That whole card, top to bottom, delivered in spades. And it was free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Rappy Veteran]

Hendo!

 

[D. S. Veteran]

Hendo!

 

 

Timmy played it really, really, really, dumb. It was his fight to lose and he lost it with a bang.

[D. S. Veteran]

 

 

 

 

 

And my favorite "Did he just kill a guy in the octagon ??" moment of the night

 

 

[D. S. Veteran]

 

It's on! Cain is FINALLY HEALTHY! And Werdum is at peak shape. And Cejudo made weight. That's amazing. If everything goes according to plan, this card is going to be massive. Fingers crossed.

Get hyped!

[vcfan]

gonna be a good show

[Zoom7000]

A bad night for the Mexicans! Lack of altitude training really hurt Cain. He'll be back though. Probably get a rematch in Las Vegas and reclaim the title. Werdum looked very good, but I still think Cain on top form will have him. He just suffered big time with the altitude yesterday.

Don't forget about ring rust. His last fight was in 2013. This is ultimately good for the HW division since Werdum clearly isn't made of glass.

Every day is a good day to watch that fight. Especially today, to wash out the bad taste that the Melendez vs. Alvarez fight left in our mouths.
