They always used the small one at the Palms, and its usually fight nights, Fight For The Troops events, and the FS2-style cards that would use it, and even then, not most of those. Now they run a zillion shows a year, so the small cage pops up a half dozen times at least, probably a lot more.
The weirder thing than you not knowing about it is that FIGHTERS often have no idea either. Like, until after the fight sometimes when they are all Why did the cage seem so small? and shit like that. Lately, shows with the small cage had huge finishing rates, and a lot more people started to notice the correlation. Once you know, and you see a few heavyweights in the small cage, you know there's gonna be a finish a huge amount of the time, because they literally cannot avoid each other for very long. Tom Lawler the other day was saying he was going to ask which cage his next fight is in, because he never thought to ask before, like everyone else, pretty much.
WEC had finishes all over the place every event. They used a small cage.

The moment UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell set foot inside the cage in Connecticut earlier this month, he knew something was different.
At first, he thought it was all in his head. He suddenly felt more comfortable in the UFC’s octagon, more at home. Perhaps, he told himself, he was finally getting used to his surroundings after nearly five years and six fights with the organization.
“I noticed right when I stepped in,” says Rothwell (34-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC), who scored a first-round TKO victory over former Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem at “UFC Fight Night: Jacare vs. Mousasi” that night. “I didn’t know that (the cage) was smaller. They told me after.”
At first it sounds like a minor difference. The UFC’s full-sized cage – the one it typically uses for major pay-per-view events in places like MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas – measures 30 feet across. The smaller cage that it reserves for more intimate venues, like at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn., is 25 feet in diameter.

Not a UFC expert by any means but.... Romero +140 seems like a great value... am I wrong and why???
u know... just sayin!!!!!!!!!!
Machida is 37 and now lost 3 of his last 4 fights. His age has caught up with him and he really should think about retirement soon cause he is slow and only a shell of his old self.
Romero is actually older but aging better.
Machida is done, minus a legacy fight or two.
LOL Yoel Romero: after the fight he asked the crowd "what is wrong with USA?" and told USA "to accept Jesus and not 'gay' jesus"
Machida needs to retire or head back to LHW for a final run. I don't need to see him headlining cards when hes barely #6 in the division.

They say Romero's line could really be meant as 'no forget Jesus' and not 'no for gay Jesus', but the accent excuse is hard to buy with him saying 'forget' properly and clearly just a few seconds earlier.
gawker predictably destroyed him today as well.

dudes iq to low to be taken seriously

All that talk and BS for months, and now this:
McGregor and Mendes are currently -110 both at BetOnlineFormer two-time title contender Chad Mendes will step into Aldo's place and fight McGregor (17-2) for the interim featherweight title. UFC president Dana White announced Aldo's withdrawal on ESPN's SportsCenter on Tuesday.
Aldo (25-1) suffered the injury while training last week in Rio de Janeiro. The seven-time defending champion had attempted to recover in time to still compete on the pay-per-view card, but was ultimately forced to pull out.

mendes hugsurfing to the W is by no means an exotic scenario.
conor has literally fought zero (0) real grapplers to date and has been drilling striking up until now.
