Hunt vs Lesnar is a top-tier fight for selling tickets, means as much as the Diaz Conor rematch and it's more important to them to not let people think they can demand whatever they want and get it than have Conor on the card.

UFC 202 is a huge card anyway and Dana said he has no regrets about that

He's probably in good shape for a 41 year old athletic man but not for a 41 year old MMA fighter.

Johny Hendricks didn't skip the fries after all.

UFC200's main event getting nuked again because Miesha Tate can't keep time is the most UFC 200 thing so I'm shocked it didn't happen.

The only way it gets more tragic for Hendricks is another KO followed by him appearing on Bellator looking like Roy.

She used to fight at 145 in Strikeforce for a while. I'd guess she's not a small BW, but she's not a big one either.

She did not think this one through.

On a serious note and fanboyism aside, are people really counting out anderson that much? Yes he hasn't looked tremendous in his last fights but he was also fighting guys who hung back and fought patiently. That's not what Cormier is at all.

DC's a smart guy, he's going to look at the first Sonnen fight rather than the Weidman ones for his gameplan. He was a wrestling phenom in the heavies, he's not going to struggle taking down a MW with less than stellar TDD who weighed in at 198 and will be giving up a good 20 pounds by fight time. Cormier can definitely get him down, keep him down and pound him out pretty easy at this point.

Anderson still looked good against Bisping for a dude who has clearly lost a step or two, and Bisping's the champ now so yeah, he's still great, he's just facing a huge dude whose strength is his greatest weakness.

Just because they are both wrestlers doesn't mean they fight the same

Cormier would win his takedowns differently to Chael, sure, he'd attack differently and defend differently, but the ideal goal is the same. Take him down, pound him out or sub him. It's a very clear route to victory that's easier now than ever.

I love Andy, but he's the rightful underdog in this, and him losing to Cormier doesn't tarnish him at all or diminish him in my eyes. He has balls of steel for even thinking of taking this fight, never mind doing it.

DC has a pretty good chin too, and it's been a good long while since Anderson has KO'd anyone. I don't see much of a way for him to win this fight either.

...no she didn't? She did fight in their "Women's Welterweight Tournament" but that got renamed to bantamweight later.

After the last Ronda fight she was talking about how she walked around at 142 pounds and didn't want to put on muscle because she feared losing speed and cardio, and also making noises about an 125 pound weight class. Guess she's given up on that and bulked up instead.

My mistake then, woops.

Dangersim posted:

I don't disagree Cormier is the favorite, I'm just confused by people.acting like.anderson silva is a can

There's a huge difference between thinking a dude who has recently beaten excellent fighters, is an active champion and is looking better than ever while possessing the very strengths Anderson is weak against is a hellish matchup for Anderson at this point and saying Anderson is a can.

Cormier looked real down and rough about the whole thing on Thursday morning, sucks for him real bad. Hope the UFC sort him out good and proper, with PPV points still ideally.
