I pick Whitaker, Holm, and Covington.

But I’ll be rooting for RDA.

[Two Kids' Dad]

And Punk looked bad. Heck, I’d fight him and I’m 52 and work a desk job.

[circlecity]

Romero, Covington, Tai, Holms and whoever is fighting Punk. The undercard was pretty good but it’s clear that it’s time for Overreem to hang them them up before he suffers permanent damage.

I admire a fake fighter trying to do it for real, but maybe he got too late a start.

[Impy]

I see Guida lost on the FP premlims, and Rashad got gobsmacked in the first minute for his 5th loss in a row, ouch.

Pretty boring so far. Same old tired fighters, and the UFC seems to be struggling a bit. Perhaps the last two fights will liven things up.

Rafael dos Anjos / Colby Covington fight was good

[Impy]

Colby says he wants to visit the White House and put the interim belt on Trump’s desk, love it!

[corlorde]

Trump would be game

[Impy]

I didn’t know Romero missed weight, belt not on the line, oy.

[KavMan]

Colby Covington has been acting like a DBag, I was rooting for RDA until after the fight where Colby Covington said something if the Eagles don't want to go to The White House, I'll bring the belt to TRUMP, don't remember word for word but it was something like that

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm a Colby Covington now!

[Impy]

Me too.

[KavMan]

Twitter is TRIGGERED by Colby!

[corlorde]

Great final fight!

[Impy]

Rockem sockem robots. Too bad the belt wasn’t at stake!!

I thought Romero took it.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Whit had some wobbly legs - Romero is an incredible athlete. If Romero throws more punches first round, might have been different.
