I have a gut feeling Lawler is going to win. Which I think would be pretty shitty for Hendricks because he should be fighting as the champion right now, he beat GSP.

I don't care who wins, ultimately. Hoping for a wild brawl. Condit v. Woodley should be pretty interesting as well. Is that the de facto #1 contender match now?

Yeah I see the poll filling up for Lawler, and I agree its possible, but his best chance is to catch Hendricks on a counter, something Hendricks is well aware of and probably won't be giving him many opportunities. I want to see a brawl too, but I suspect Hendricks will prefer to work him over on the ground rather than risk trading too much with a guy who has similar knockout power.

Woodley/Condit is not a #1 contender match, which is cool with me, never liked Condit and I will never forgive Woodley for his streak of insanely boring fights lol - http://www.bjpenn.com/dana-white-carlos-condit-not-guaranteed-a-title-shot-if-victorious-at-ufc-171/

I'm hoping Hendricks gets the win but Lawler not going to be an easy opponent, I think it could be really good tonight there are a lot of big punchers and Sanchez is always entertaining.

 

[Spider Crab]

Did Hendricks make weight?

 

[SPG*]

ay reckon whoever lands first! Think Johnny will but who knows!
Other parts of the card are cool too.

"Johnny would be more resilient to lawyers power than the other way round tho"IMO

(In all areas I'm sure) Lawler was quite fortunate to win the decision against McDonald IMO
(Split decision,sure)

 

[SPG*]

Yes good question spider crab had to lose 1.5 lb didn't he because it was a title fight
(Otherwise 0.5lb)

 

[SPG*]

^ Sanchez: YES!YES!YES! Lmao

 

[CARE giver]

I've got Lawler, Condit, Sanchez, Shields. Most likeky buying this one still undecided. Cant wait though .

 

[CARE giver]

Are any of these links smooth and clear?

 

[rasputin]

#'s 1-3 on Firstrow are generally the best, IME. Quality depends mostly on 1) your connection, 2) how busy their server is.

One thing that can sometimes help, if you use Firefox: right click on the video>settings>local storage (the folder icon)>set to unlimited.

Kind of a weird weigh-in. Hendricks over 1.5 not so much a big deal, he lost it very quickly and he's a wrestler - I'm sure he's cut more in less time. Just odd that he was off considering the stakes, bad scale or not, and what's up with the shakes? I'm sure it was a little cool in there but I've never seen that before.

That said, one punch and it's much ado about nothing.

 

[CARE giver]

Right and he seemed shakey about it also. Maybe anxious? Just didnt seem very confident. Whike Robbie did.

Wouldnt you be scared to fight that dude? Hed probably kill me.

Never payed for a fight. Never missed a fight.
First decent card in a while. Lawler-Hendrix has potential for some fireworks. I bet Lawler, because he's +280, and has a puncher's chance. Other than that, all the other odds suck, as usual.

 

[CARE giver]

Yeah im actually just as excited for the Condit fight as I am for the main event.

 

[shawkmon]

can someone pm me a link yo , tomorrow , i cant watch and i dont have web at home, ill have to dl it fromt the starbux whenever

 

[CARE giver]

Fightnext is my favorite. Should be uploaded tomorrow.

 

[dank.frank]

Condit always puts on a great fight.

I voted Hedricks - but I have to say - he looked pretty rough during the weigh in. Dark circles and much more gaunt / tired than I've seen him previously. I have to wonder what effect it will have on him tonight at the fight. I'm some what expecting him to try and finish in the first round and if not - gas out really quickly and find himself in a world of trouble...

[SPG*]

Gastlgum(tuf winner) vs Story and the Woodley fight's gonna be an awesome brawl.I think Woodley might knock him out

 

[CARE giver]

Hendricks seemed stressed. Hes worried I think. More than ever. And its for the belt he so despretley wants.

I voted Lawler for these reasons. Hendricks mind isnt where it needs to be, imo.

Yeah im goimg to watch the Gastelum fight too. Hes not very impressive but he's got a positive mind. And yeah im worried for Condit. Woodleys a scary ass dude. David vs Goliath. I got David though.
