If any card ever deserved to not have a GDT made until after weigh in this would have been one of them.

Good on you for the effort though. Been nice having these up in a timely fashion!

The most annoying thing about this card is that neither John Makdessi nor Bisping are Brazilian, because "Walleyed Ismail" is just sitting there waiting to be used

Thanks to you and everyone else for all the nice words! Even the bad threads deserve a timely GDT and the OPs are fun to write so I figured I'd start stepping up, it helps keep the monthly thread tidy.

I love Rampage saying he doesn't want to main event because it would mean possibly fighting for 5 rounds. So lazy :allears:

it's really cool to me that even though Rampage is fighting in the UFC this is exactly like one of his Bellator fights, and I hope they follow this pattern

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Uh I think most people who watched that season realized she was pretty good after she beat Torres and Herrig, despite the loss to Rose.

Can't believe a judge gave Randa the second round. She got wrecked in the second round.

It was fun and scrappy, but there was a lot of poor technique and tactics in that fight.

These girls both looked totally cadaverous at the weigh-ins yesterday, I wonder how much gas they'll have in the tank.

Holy poo poo that escape.

Gonna laugh when the under-undercard women's prelims end up being better than the main event.

So far so good on the prelims but I'm still not buying this poo poo card (unless I end up getting drunk enough before then.)

I see what you're saying but I think that's a disservice to what Dillashaw/Barao was all about. At the time Bang Alpha Male was doing well but they had not proven the ultimate goal of winning a UFC title. Even Duane felt that Benavidez or Mendes would be the first to be champ and he said that while he was sitting with Dillashaw right next to him. Then you have Barao knocking off Faber a few months previously who most people considered to be all-around better than Dillashaw. Barao was being hyped up as the best in the sport 2nd only to Jones & Dillashaw was nothing more than a filler fight until Cruz got healthy. So when Dillashaw styled around Barao for a round and then cracked him with that punch it shook up a lot of things in an instant. That was one of those few "oh poo poo!" moments you get every year in MMA.

Horiguchi could pull off the upset but there aren't any of those underlining stories. It would be cool to have a Japanese champion and for things to shake up at flyweight for a while but that's the best of what would happen. And also Mighty Mouse still hasn't got the respect he deserves while Barao was starting to touch the ceiling on his hype.

I think you're underselling how impressive it would be for a Japanese person to win the UFC belt in 2015, especially considering there's only like 15 Japanese fighters total on the entire roster.
