Thus far the available evidence suggests that nobody in any country gives a poo poo about flyweights, regardless of their nationality.

That sucks, I'm a pretty casual fan and I love flyweight fights.

I wonder if they could get Mighty Mouse a shine if they booked a double main event with someone people actually cared about. What if they did Mighty Mouse vs. anyone as co-main on a Ronda card?

Arguably every MM card has had somebody casual fans care about more in the co-main; this is the first time he'll be carrying a ppv on his own. I really hope it does well because flyweights own and MM owns, but based on prior experience and general levels of "star power" I'm not optimistic.

You think Phillips is a lock against Valerie?

I thought Valerie was good? Then again she lost to The Happy Warrior on Tuf right?

Yeah for some dumb reason she let Roxy take her down, and Roxy is actually a good grappler. Her only strength.

I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....
Interesting how in that embedded schaub talks bout how arlovski has never been submitted. Interestingly also that schaub thinks he will win anything in this life.

Why the hell is rener gracie his coach didn't he see Metamoris? I mean anyone who was in a BJJ camp should have disowned the man.

I really like how Ali carries himself. I don't know how this fight will go honesty because MM is on another level but I Really like Ali's personality and the way he carries himself. I hope it is a fun fight and I don't doubt that will happen.

He's been training with Rener ever since he left Grudge, which has been a while.

Arlovski's PPV fights were so long ago that they're not really relevant info in that regard.

how long into the fight until Rogan starts grandstanding about how dudes with big muscles have diminishing returns?

I think it has a better chance than BW/FW has had since they were being ruled by non-english speaking champions and a non-fighting champion (Cruz). I think it would've been a world of a difference if Urijah had gotten the UFC title in either division.

Since getting the FOX spotlight MM has been reliable for sick fights, finishes, charismatic mic work and lots of media. A huge difference from what Barao and Aldo have been providing. It won't happen overnight, but I like MM's chances of converting FOX viewers to PPV buyers if he can keep his streak going regardless of how interesting his opponent is.

MMMMMDJ is a really awesome guy in every way. I don't know what more he could do, people just don't respect lighter weight MMA fighters. I don't think he has it in him to play a role the way Chael can, he's too nice and too calm and collected.

theoretically if he ices Bagautinov the way he did Benavidez then they can try pitching him as a knockout artist but what they should really do is just make a video of Rogan saying "holy poo poo. he's so fast. he's so loving fast." for 30 seconds and put it on tv

These new countdown videos full of goony mma "journalists" talking about the fighters are terrible. Please UFC, have mercy. I want to get hyped and I absolutely do not want to watch a series of morbidly obese men talk about cardio. I mean why do you think I watch this sport, come on. The old little mini-documentaries were so loving awesome and they are still partly mini-documentaries but so much fat guy talk time, so much.
