Really hope Tate wins this. She's good for the UFC, has a great head on her shoulders. And if she wins maybe she can challenge Rousey to a rematch. I believe the last time they fought Rousey snapped Tate's arm in half.

Jones' B sample came back positive, if there was any doubt. There is an appeal process but 2 years suspension is likely now.

Guy fighting in the TUF finale Rowntree just shouted out to his mum to 'shut up mum' twice while he was getting a tanking.

No Conor, JbJ and Tate headlining tonight. 200 has went to ****.

At least Tate being main event means I can go to be 30 mins earlier.

Card definately lost some star power at the top and might be telling that im most looking forward to the 2 basically novelty fights to see Brock and if Silva can roll back the years and have one last GOAT performance rather than the more legit fights on the card.

Saying that it is still a pretty stacked card. I think Lauzon vs Sanchez could be fight of the night and its on the early prelims.

Lauzon on fightpass

Watched all of last night's card except the main event and it wasn't great. Jfc I'm glad I recorded the main, would have made staying up through the rest of the ****e well worthwhile. What an excellent fight.

48/46 48/45 48/46 not a reflection of the fight I just watched.

Main card lost a bit of luster, but including prelims we'll never see an entire card this stacked until UFC 500.

You could make a PPV main card out of the best fights on the Fightpass and FS1 prelims that would be better than a couple of the PPV main cards we've seen lately.

I'd be shocked if Rousey fought much more.

I don't think she is done fighting but it does seem like it will be tough for her to keep the motivation to do so. She is rich and has opportunities outside the UFC.

Has some knee and arthritis issue too.

It was speculated in the other thread that the reason Tate's fight was moved up to main event is because Rousey will come in the ring to challenge her if she wins. It makes sense.

Is Rousey even going to be there? That does make sense though.

Hunt/Brock closing the show seemed like such a horrible idea to me. Smart move by the UFC to nix that. Would just make the show look very 2nd rate.

I'm surprised Silva is being given a punchers chance vs DC. This seems like DC wins 98/100. Silva has no chance to stay on his feet.

Joe Rogan said Rousey just had knee surgery and she's also finishing up some movies. I don't think she'd be able to fight again until the fall. When is the MSG debut for UFC? maybe she could be at that?

I doubt Rousey would never fight again. Dana will offer her some big money. Rousey has so many options too,

Rousey vs Cyborg (everyone wants but won't happen)
Rousey vs Holm rematch
Rousey vs Tate

Maybe Tate wins tonight and then calls out Ronda after? would be sick.

Based on recent history, Tate loses tonight anyway.

Brock getting a lot of hate on social media. Hope he wins to shut all these people up. "Brock has a glass chin" "Brock is on steroids". As far as I remember Brock has had some of bloodiest matches of recent memory so I don't recall him having a glass chin. Maybe I am wrong?

I watched an interview with Brock recently and heard him speak for first time LOL did not expect that to be his voice. He sounds so normal but looks like a giant.

Doo Hoi Choy??? Seriously one of the most surprising finishes (1rd TKO punches) I have seen in a long time. I remember when I was 16 a kid looking like he wasn't even old enough to be in HS, and when someone F'd with him he would light them up just like Choy lol. Looking forward to seeing more of this striker.

Brock's chin is very good, he just doesn't react well to getting hit.

In his final few fights he was a shell of himself. He claims it was because of his illness and im sure the illness was definately a factor. So alot of how this fight will go depends on which Brock we get.

In a way Brock's chin doesnt really matter because Hunt will KO anyone with his punches.
