Well, there's still a little over 24 hours for this stacked card to fall apart due to injury.

Cariaso says he's not going to fight if Cegordo doesn't make weight, so if the card loses a fight it's going to be that

Copeland is lucky he's a heavyweight. He's almost guaranteed to get a 3rd fight if he loses. Like, Roon Potter got 3 fights, and he got savagely finished in all of them. At least Copeland was fun to watch in his first decision loss.

Then again, I guess there's a market for trashweights who make a habit of getting savagely finished.

i think a bunch of them will be good to really good, i just don't have a horse in the race, except when it comes to Josh "Huggy Bear" Copeland. in addition to him being cool i feel bad for him because he said to joe silva that he'd fight anyone on the roster except rosholt because they're friends :(

for real though, cruickshank (plz don't rob me of a cruickshank fight again, eyepokes) and ross pearson on the undercard is godlike. either of those fights could take fotn.

if roy nelson beats overeem i'll be so happy

I've watched over ten Cruickshanks fights and my brain consistently refuses to remember anything about him other than "He's the one who looks kind of like Michael Rooker"

Joseph "the last man to beat conor mcgregor" duffy debuts on this card

The only thing I remember about cruickshank is he throws a lot of spinning stuff and that John Makdessi compared fighting him to fighting a cat because his body was covered in scratches after the fight was over

I don't even remotely understand what this guy was trying to do to defend against this kick, was he dropping his guard thinking it was a body kick?

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

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

Go and show some support to the fighters, pick one and pretend you are good biggest fan, but don't let it become you, I learnt that lesson the hard way

Josh Copeland is a tubby fellow who goes by the nickname "Cuddly Bear". Root for him. Also, Sam Stout is going to get his brain scrambled even more. He's going to have eggs coming out of his ears by the end of the fight. Actually, the prelims as a whole look quite good.

Cruickshank owns and so does this card, top to bottom.

Something about his midsection looked pretty off. "On weight" a few days out doesn't mean he's 126 a few days out, just that he's about where he figures he needs to be to be 126 on time.
