tl;dr: Stephen Thompson is cool and if you want a sweet meaningful matchup you do him vs Magny for "new legit welterweight of 2015." That's what I think. Let the freak pain demons Robbie/Brown/Condit fight it out for the belt for a few years.

Thompson vs. Gunnar would be cool too

weighins starting:

e: Dunno if I'm just imagining things but it looks like the Reebok gear is a lot more varied than it was for the UFC 189 weighins.

Fat or no I still kinda feel like Mir is a huge step up for Duffee, a guy who's never beaten anyone of note. I'm half expecting it to go like the Kongo fight where Mir drops him early and finishes with a sub.

Also Joe Silva's awkward attempts at breaking up the Holm/Reneau staredown was the best part of weigh-ins

I'm not watching but pretend that I posted "Lyman Bad" if he loses.

Oh well at least Scotty is getting a fairly fat cheque from Reebok since has pretty long tenure with Zuffa.

While we're waiting, let's relive Marion Reneau's hellish beatdown of some girl in her UFC debut

loving amazing, I don't think Duffee could have walked into that punch any harder

I feel like Tate, Zingano and a few others would gently caress her up.

Amanda Nunes would be a good test, she's not as good technically but she's aggressive and hits pretty hard relative to the rest of the division, I don't think Holly would be able to point-fight her for three rounds. Unfortunately I'm not sure that Nunes is going to be able to avoid getting wrestled for 3 rounds by McMann.

Everyone on weight. Bisping pointed and shouted a lot.

colonel_korn
May 16, 2003

I've never really thought of it before but Bisping is pretty comparable to Gleison Tibau, despite being the higher-profile fighter. Been around forever, overall good UFC record (16-7 vs 16-9 for Tibau), but really entirely lacking any kind of memorable or "signature" wins and has always come up short against the big names in the division.

lol she's getting rocked badly a minute into her fight, again

e: ahaha and the other girl went for the same move as Moroz but botched it

Has there ever been a TUF winner whose finale victory was over as unimpressive an opponent as Haynes? You could make an argument for TUF 9, but even then I'm not sure.

Mac Danzig maybe. Tommy Speer lasted one more fight in the UFC which consisted of him getting destroyed by Rumble in less than a minute.

That is true. Although I don't get the hype, her accent is so goddamn adorable.

I think the hype is pretty much deflated at this point, but she's still a fun fighter to watch and people wanna pull for her. But yeah her defence is really porous, I don't think there's any doubt that JJ would completely light her up.

Reminder that jase1 bet $1000 on Leites by KO/TKO at +400, in case anyone is wondering what outcome to root for in this one.

Bisping's cardio has typically paid dividends in fights like this but he actually looks really gassed. Wonder if age/mileage is catching up with him.

Cutting immediately to baseball is a fitting conclusion to that fight

If there's a time to do Bisping/Lyoto it's probably now I guess.
