So tempted to put money on Vitor... Weidman is a killer, but I just got a feeling that the Phenom has one last hoorah in him.

Who do you think is going to win out of Johnson and Cormier? I like Johnson but I know its just one punch and this fight could be over early!

I'm biased because I love the AKA guys; especially DC and Cain, but it really comes down to DC putting Rumble on his back and neutralizing that terrifying one punch KO power.

I will be putting some vBucks on Rumble! He hasn't let me down yet, hell I was going to bet on him when I thought he was going to fight Bones.

I believe Rumble when he says this is a tougher fight for him than Bones was going to be. But I still think he wins it. He is not anywhere near the wrestler that Cormier is, but he needs to be just good enough to stop the takedown and land one punch. I am betting he is.

That Ray Longo team is legit too. I just don't see Weidman losing. He gets better every fight and if he gets Vitor down, I can't see him getting back up. Plus it will zap Vitor's power having to wrestle. I think Weidman by submission, like an anaconda choke or maybe a stoppage from ground and pound.

Bump.
Like Rumble chances in this fight but I think he can be beat mentally by DC. Makes it out of the 3rd DC takes control and finishes the fight mid 5th. Really thought the Wiedman fight is 50/50. Vitor may be a cheater. If he steps in the ring guy's a f-ing assassin. Really thing Chris is motivated and wins by submitting vitor 2-4 round. Also I'm really excited about the Browne Arlovski fight. Thinking AA catches him inside of round 1 and finishes the fight.
With all that I'm probably way off but really jacked about this card!

Im doing a draftkings for 187 and having a hard time fitting 5 guys i want into the salary cap. I need to pick atleast 2 underdogs. I'm thinking maybe Rumble and Moraga would be good picks.

I say go with Rumble and Arlovski. Rumble is one punch away from beating anyone, and Travis Browne is too inconsistent.

DC used to fight at Heavyweight. Johnson used to fight at 170. There is a big difference in how these guys got to their weight for the fight, I think DC is just too big and strong come fight time. He'll easily put 10+ lbs on between weigh in and fight time. This one doesn't go to the judges cards. DC wins.

There is some serious silver lining here. Rumble should have NEVER been at 170. He was walking around at 220-230 at that time. Absolutely crazy he ever got close to 170; explains why he was missing weight by almost 10 lbs and got cut. He is still HUGE. Probably 225-230 when he steps in the cage.

Arlovski was the first fighter I ever really liked when I first started watching MMA. I thought he had lost a step or two but I wa clearly wrong. Guy looked great tonight. Il be interested to see how well he does from here

When Mir and Arlovski were getting after it, they were the top dawgs.

Since then too much has changed.

Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar were even a notch up.

Those two couldn't last a round with Dos Santos and Velasquez.

Those Junior-Cain battles were some of the best I've had the pleasure of watching. I'm also partial as a Cain fan though. Dont sleep on Werdum though, it's a great matchup. Cain is an elite wrestler and a beast on top, but Werdum has some of the best attacking BJJ off his back I've seen.

Bruh, they say JDS has some epic BJJ.

Cain handled him.

Cain is so dominant now.

When JDS knocked him out, I though he'd reign to the extent Cain has.

Cain has the most intent and headstrong game I've ever witnessed.

More so than GSP, Silva, Severn and Shamrock in his prime...

The guy does not think he will lose. And I don't like him. But he's dominant in the most powerful weight class in the world.

I think what makes Cain such a different animal is his cardio. That's some next level shit. If he can make Werdum carry his weight for a few rounds and control position, it's all his. He just cant make a single mistake on the ground.

Great gif. Lmao.

Some guy I just knocked on his back did that to me, I'd just walk away.

I'd be like, "screw you."
