Rashad around the 6 minute mark is definitely the highlight.

Shogun is 2 for his last 6, one of those two is now a middleweight and after that victory he too was knocked out by a middleweight. Shogun is the #7 light-heavyweight in the UFC.

Shogun rules though

Somebody with a good Fight IQ(TM) tell me why Gustaffason will lose. I've only seen his recent card appearances, and he looked solid to me. Not that DC isn't, but I'm stupid.

Well he considered retirement after getting thrashed in front of 30,000 of his countrymen for starters. He might be mentally checked out.

really though someone who knows what's what re: weight cuts was this a case of Johny being a lazy fat poo poo with his diet or something else that he couldn't account for?

There are a whole host of causes of both intestinal blockages and kidney stones. However, one of the possible causes for both of them is dehydration, and if Hendricks kept his weight down better he wouldn't have to dehydrate as much or as long.

So you can't say definitively that this was because of his weight between camps, but it does seem likely that it wsa a factor.

that works and I kind of figured as much.

Even though you're joking, would that be the funniest thing for Jones to do? Should he come back and immediately take the LHW belt back or should he make a run at heavyweight and deny DC/Alex a rematch for awhile to gently caress with them? I know I know, he'll choose the first one.

dude Jon coming back and making DC cry again only to immediately move to heavyweight would be the coolest loving thing he could ever do.

The talent gap in W135 compared to other divisions is a bit overstated, too.

W135 has one great fighter, a few decent fighters who really have no hope of dethroning her, and then a garbage fire.

HW has two great fighters, one pretty good but declining fighter with multiple losses to one of the great ones, an old man on a winning streak, and a garbage fire.

205 has a champ, a "champ," and then a few decent guys who have lost to the champ and the "champ," and then it's a garbage fire.

155-185 are shark tanks.

145 has four great guys on top of the heap and then it's a mess.

135 has Brian "Seedy" Caraway pushing the top 5, and actually in the top 5 if we remove fighters who are hopelessly inactive, injured, or no longer fighting in that division (Barao, Assuncao, and McDonald). Let that sink in.

125 has one great fighter, a few decent fighters who have really no hope of dethroning him, and then it is a garbage fire.

see, all fighters are bad.

I'm not a huge Ronda fan, but that's a really great quote. Props to her.

ronda seems like the kind of universally liked fighter unless that sandy hook comment digs itself deep inside you skull, otherwise she's loving great in just about every way.
