Final Prelim Fight airing now on FS1
Main Card on Pay-Per View, 2 Belts on the Line
Rockhold vs.Bisping 2
Cruz vs. Faber 3
Dan Henderson vs. Hector Lombard
Dustin Poirier vs. Bobby Green
Wow, he did it!
Dan is a legend and they say power is the last thing to go.
Helluva fight between Holloway and Lamas.
Holloway is still so young.
Not a good day for Chi area fighters (Guida/Lamas).
Holloway was the man in that fight. Should be unanimous decision. Henderson was the stud of old tonight!
we can only hope the two co-main events are as good as the Hendo/Holloway fights:)
Brock Lesnar is coming back, with the opponent to be determined later. I have heard rumors that Hunt is the one they are trying to get to fight Brock.
Brock Lesnar is set to fight at UFC 200 according to ESPN.
Diaz vs McGregor rematch deal done for UFC 202..Aug...
Lesnar will kill him. Hunt’s last fight was not good if i recall correctly.Don’t you think?
Do you know if it's in the same weight class or is Diaz going to drop weight for this one?
The thing with Lesnar was, at least back in the day, it was very clear that he did not like being hit in the face at all, or the liver for that matter.
He also did not have the highest fight IQ that I’ve ever seen.
No doubt he is extremely physically talented, but it seems like he really is much more than a yellow belt or so in terms of martial arts, and he doesn’t seem to have any experience in the submission game.
But maybe he has been training since he left, i don’t know.
I’ve always maintained that if Brock would have been with a real camp and been trained with some real trainers he would have been a the best pound for pound heavyweight.
I don’t know, SWB. Not taking anything away from the physical gifts that he has, but when you are going against people that have been training martial arts since they were kids, like Overeem for example, it’s hard to be able to overcome the gap in fight knowledge.
Or you go up against a heavyweight boxer like Dos Santos, it’s going to be very hard for Brock to be able to out skill those types of fighters.
I think Lesner has taken so many roids over the years that it’s hurts his stamina. Too much weight and muscle to be a great fighter.
I think the UFC is doing it to bring in viewers from wrestling. Hunt is a tough samoan though, it may be a good fight. Better than the Kimbo or King Mo fights for sure.
He certainly had unrealized potential. I didn’t expect him to return, interesting.
I was pretty impressed with Cruz, very strong performance. I thought Faber had a decent chance though I picked Cruz.
Cruz definitely did a good job no question about that.
Holy bleep is an understatedment, Mike Bisping is a UFC champion.
Unreal!
