It's not the speed they recover, it's if the ref sees them go limp / stiff and lose consciousness. If a fighter loses consciousness the ref will (or at least should) stop the fight regardless of how quickly they recover. Losing consciousness is quite different to being foggy but still knowing what's going on.

I thought mir went down straight to his face or at least it looked like it. I think it was a justified stoppage

Hendricks vs. GSP and Chael/Rashad as a co-main on 11/16 in Las Vegas. Could be a sick card by the time it rolls around.

*bump* for UFC 165 tonight in Toronto

Main Card
Light Heavyweight Jon Jones (c) vs. Alexander Gustafsson
Bantamweight Renan Barão (ic) vs. Eddie Wineland
Heavyweight Brendan Schaub vs. Matt Mitrione
Middleweight Costa Philippou vs. Francis Carmont
Lightweight Pat Healy vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov

Preliminary card (Fox Sports 1)
Lightweight Mike Ricci vs. Myles Jury
Bantamweight Ivan Menjivar vs. Wilson Reis
Welterweight Chris Clements vs. Stephen Thompson
Bantamweight Mitch Gagnon vs. Dustin Kimura

Preliminary card (Facebook/Youtube)
Lightweight John Makdessi vs. Renee Forte
Lightweight Jesse Ronson vs. Michel Prazeres
Bantamweight Roland Delorme vs. Alex Caceres
Heavyweight Nandor Guelmino vs. Daniel Omielańczuk

cliffs on why everyone apparently hates Jon Jones? saw he got booed at the weigh-in the other day, and they said that's totally standard for him these days, for whatever reason. wasn't really sure why.

also of note, apparently there was a little heat at the weigh-in between Schaub and Mitrione, who previously were friends or something. not sure what that's all about either, or how legitimate it is.

Two fights, two solid performances, two solid finishes. How can this last?

that fight seemed mismatched, was the fat old guy an injury replacement or no?

or just a soupcan for this guy they're grooming for bigger and better things?

A lot of experts picked Weidman to win that fight and most of the rest gave him at least a decent chance. This is nothing like that.

Gustafsson certainly has a chance. Weidman was basically given a "no-chance" as well. Not certain which Swede will show up, but Gustaf has some cardio, range and may be able to keep or even set the pace with JBJ. A couple of fights tonight were set off with a single hook and a "grazing" strike behind the ear, then quickly finished. Either fighter, if they daze or stagger the other, has the skills to finish quickly.

fwiw Pinny has it:

Alexander Gustafsson +610
Jon Jones -759
