I feel it’s the other way around, if Francis do not get the ko in the first 2 round I’m guessing stipe wins later .

Francis has more raw power but his chin is untested + being the bigger man i assume he can take more punishment. Stipe is more technical at this juncture but has to make less mistakes to get the win. Can't wait for the fight, i wish they had merged the St Louis card with the Stipe/Francis card cause that undercard is so poor.

Feel like Ngannou could become a huge star and get the heavyweight division back in the spotlight. Dude's never even seen a 3rd round before so probably needs an early finish.

Him and Khabib should be the face of the UFC, a Migrant and a Muslim reigning on this sport would be such a great FU to that ******ed POTUS you got there

Stipe is getting wrecked next week

That might mean something if MMA was one of the major sports in the USA.

Whittaker is out vs Rockhold, Romero takes his place.

Would have been funny if Bisping took his spot and beat Rockhold again

^^ Will be a fun fight, can't pick the winner, i think Mcgregor comes back for mayweather rematch though & avoids winner of Ferguson/Khabib. Mayweather & Mcgregor trash talking too much on social media for the rematch to not happen, which sucks.

Dana just confirmed on Boston Radio that Tony v Khabib is on for the Brooklyn card in April. Don't believe his lies and everything, but it's pretty clear this fight is going to happen. Conor pussied out big time, I bet we'll get to see about 50 pictures of his cars and shoes on instagram pretty soon.

I just saw this but did anyone see Bellator is putting Chael/Rampage on last instead of Rory/Lima which is probably the best fight that promotion could make? That's nuts to me. Way to bury your talent for old timers.

I see Khabib -200 on BOvada and Sportsbooks.com, two square books so maybe the line will move higher but I am surprised.

Figured he would be atleast -250 after Ferguson didn't look great vs Lee and Khabib absolutely smashed Barboza.

He submitted a good wrestler & bjj guy off his back, he looked amazing bro, he showed he's the toughest fight for khabib.

Still figured Khabib would get more hype than that. Ferguson was taken down easily vs Lee, Khabib should be able to do similarly.

I think Lee would be a tougher fight for Khabib just because he could stay on his feet. Also, Lee was clearly screwed in that fight because of the staph infection.

Kevin lee could be a tough fight, hard to say, Ferguson a good wrestler as well. Khabib won't have an easy time taking down Ferg, he will get it obv but ferg beats him on the feet, makes him work for takedown and can sub him off his back, ferg is a nightmare matchup for him & it will be fun.

Thats is absurd, he's defending the interim belt? Dear god. ****ing strip connor already. I really want to see that fight, but Tony should decline to defend the interim belt just because connor is to lazy to fight.

Defend interim belt, what a goddam joke. The UFC isn't even pretending not to be a clown show anymore.

On the plus side, we can watch Rampage-Sonnen this weekend in Bellator! Look at the excitement both these fighters bring to the table:

-both whiny bitches
-both one dimensional
-both washed up
-both mailed in, to an embarassing degree, their last fight which they lost

And that fight gets top billing over Macdonald-Lima on the Bellator card. lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, just lol.

Edit: Ok, looks like Macdonald Lima is actually the main event, so not quite as lol.
