Same pics here SPG. Well, that's what my head is telling me. My heart wants Hendo and Lawler to win though. Henderson has had such an incredible career that there will be no shame in losing but it's hard for me to watch, because I'm a big fan, even against an incredible fighter like Cormier. And I want Lawler to win just so he can draw Nick Diaz out of his retirement. It would be a great rematch and could get Diaz an instant title shot so it's possible.

 

[Spider Crab]

I think it will be Cormier, Barao and Lawler.

But i wonder if Cormier has too much 'hespec' for Henderson? We shall see.

 

[Spider Crab]

Barao reminds me of Baraka from Mortal Kombat.

 

[MIMedHead]

Lawler
Cormiere
Baro all day

 

[Loose Cannon]

As long as DC wins I don't care.
Unfortunately I couldn't go to Vegas for this one as a niece was graduating today.
These are the folks I usually attend with so it was a no go.
They're telling me if he gets a title shot we'll be there for sure.
My nephew is a student of Daniel's at AKA.

Hendo's walkout shirt was badass I want one, Believe!

 

[Mr. Bongjangles]

DC showing some of the sickest wrestling I've ever seen in mma... What is gonna stop him from doing this to Jon Jones?

 

[jayjayfrank]

nothing, this needs to happen to jon jones

 

[Spider Crab]

I didn't know Cormier was that good.

I still think it will be a good match vs Jones.

 

[MIMedHead]

Can't wait to see how the lhw division shakes out the rest of the yr. Should be some good fights. I think Baro will dominate just as much if not more then DC just did to Hendo. Can't wait the lighter weight classes are the best to watch.

Cheers Mr B mate
I like TJ and his fights but I think Barao is going to run him over

 

[jayjayfrank]

welp, time to buy a bottle of alpha brain

 

[GSPfan]

Congrats to Dillashaw. What a great performance. I think I was as surprised as Rogan was but the unexpected can be refreshing sometimes.

 

[SPG*]

GO DILLASHAW!!


Hendo got tossed around like a rag doll! Manipulated at every turn

 

[SPG*]

Most enjoyable fight I've seen for yrs (?)

 

[b00m]

Super stoked TJ came through strong and got the TKO Win
Still in awe about how easily DC threw Hendo around the ring
I really really frigging hope either DC or Gustafusson smash the living shit outta Jon Jones, as good as he is, he still hates marijuana users and dogged in class mates in high school smoking pot.
Frack Him and the horse he rode in on

I'm one of the 6 that voted for Dillashaw...

Team Alpha male is a great gym with top contenders in every weight class they fight...

I really wasn't surprised to see an upset. But we all know - you're not really the champ until you've had to defend the belt.

And as much as I like Hendo, let's be real...as soon as he had to come off the TRT...you could pretty much expect to see a decline in his performances. Especially now that he is one of the oldest fighters in the cage.
