Just watched it, wow, dogs night out. Would love to see Rothwell get the belt eventually. Sage should insta-rename to Marjoram, Bader is the WOAT. Why the hell is Bader still in there?

Speaking of which, how great would it be if Cormier injures himself and has to drop out of his fight with Jones so Johnson faces him. I would fly to Vegas to max out books on Johnson in that spot.
I wonder if Jones would trade with rumbleQuote:

He wouldn't trade with Rampage so I doubt it.Quote:

hey jace, greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat story
my secret hope is that Bones comes back as an unstoppable brutal champion. AJ comes forward, Bones turns AJ's knees into jelly with those kicks that Rampage always complains about. Bones brutalizes the guy for like 2 full rounds, puts him out bad in the third. AJ needs surgery on his knees, is gonna be out for a good year at least, but he probably punches a bitch somewhere along the line, the UFC is forced to drop him, and he never fights in the UFC again.
Bader getting smashed by Johnson is even more ironic since Bader was bitching and screaming after Cormier won the title that he (Bader) deserved the next title shot.. Gonna guess Dana is laughing at Bader's antics now given how badly Rumble beat him down.. I'm interested to see if Jones can effectively and safely cut down as some of his pics show him as a solid HW currently and the new cut rules banning IVs might just be a problem for Jones.. Honestly Jones moving up to HW wouldn't be the worst thing anyway considering the mess that's going on with Velasquez getting hurt again, Werdum getting hurt.. Jones moving up to HW and taking the belt and holding it for a 2-3 yr period might allow the weight class to stabilize and get some of the pretenders out of UFC after he crushes several chumps. (This all assuming Jones can keep his nose clean figuratively and literally).Quote:

Honestly tho people have been saying that not only is it a miracle that Jones cuts to LHW on his best day, but that doing so and showing up at fight time with a huge weight advantage is a cornerstone of his success in the division. Nothing would make me happier than seeing him miss weight AND get hulk smashed by Johnson tho.
But yeah with the IV ban, who knows? I agree, it would be good for the sport if he could no longer fight at LHE.
PREDICTION.........When Jones meets Johnson.... It will be in the HeavyWeight division.... Jones will beat DC (Newsflash) and then go to Heavyweight... My 2016 PredictionQuote:

Can only find it for +130Quote:

For .20 you pick up a Nelson by decision. He's only done that twice, but I figure it's worth an ask.
When I was in Montreal this weekend I met up with a sharp who bets pretty big on UFC, and he's also on Rosholt at +140. I like the bet and am also taking him at +135. I would also bet that he wins in a decision as well as his gameplan will most likely be to try to use his wrestling, and take down Nelson as much as possible and stay away from that right hand. I've seen that at +150 at most places, and its going down as we speak.Quote:

Hendricks was lookin' way small at the weigh-in. Anybody picking him to tid?
I didn't watch the weigh-ins and probably won't but he was supposedly taking this weight cut way more serious. A loss would be a huge setback for Hendricks at this point and Thompson is very capable fighter to beat him.Quote:
