That fight was straight up hilarious

At first I was hoping this would be like the cards in Brazil where all the Brazilians lose and the crowd gets real quiet and morose but this is actually way better

UFC is way too new into its Euro expansion to risk those guys losing. At least in Brazil they can lose 12 fights in a row and it doesn't matter since they have tons of legitimate talent from that country.

Latifi looks like he should be getting someone with a name soon. Doesn't look anything like the guy who was frustrated by Mousasi's jab.

He took that fight on like 4 days notice or whatever it was. he was eating a bowl of cereal and then fighting in a cage 72 hours later.

not that I think Latifi would beat Mousasi when both guys have good camps buuuut Latifi owns, that's the point. Latifi owns.

well you're in luck since there's 0 possibility that next week's card will be bad with Lawler/Brown & Green/Thomson on it too. Clay Guida will try his hardest to make Dennis Bermudez boring though.

Really? I think Ian's looking a lot fresher than Pickett. Like his movement is still really solid

Similarly I have no idea how this is an even contest or a close fight. McCall has gotten takedowns on Pickett and has defended all the ones from Pickett. Ian is landing more shots and better shots. what the heck.

The one thing I'll say is unless the judges completely screw McCall over, this is a good enough fight to warrant another fight against Demetrious Johnson while Dodson is out, but I also feel like if Makovsky can impress against Formiga then he can sneak in there first. If McCall finished this he would have had it locked down.

Most likely when McCall slipped at the end of the 1st round after Pickett threw a strike the judges assumed that Pickett created a knockdown.

Conor vs Edgar would be the fight I would love & pay money to see, but it's either gonna be Cub if they can talk him into it, Poirier, or maybe even Jeremy Stephens. Those guys he has a good shot against and it would be the top 10 win he would need.

Realistically the most appropriate fight is Oliveira. Also that's a great fight.

I was just thinking the same but he's rematching Lentz at the moment. He beat Lentz the first time but both guys have improved since that match. I'd expect Charles to win it again though. I agree that it's a good fight to make.

I have trouble saying Glover did better then anyone else just because he has a good chin, he had nothing for JBJ.

I'm not disputing that Glover didn't lose 50-45 to Jones, he got beat soundly, but to make it like he had no reason to be in there against Jones or that he hadn't earned his shot is nonsense.

poo poo if you added up all the strikes Glover did land on Jones I bet it amounts to more than Shogun/Chael/Rampage combined.
