[txstr1986]

Demetrious Johnson vs. Ali Bagautinov, for flyweight title - I like Ali's style, but Mighty Mouse is pretty good at this whole MMA thing
Rory MacDonald vs. Tyron Woodley - toss-up on paper, but I have to go with my main man, Ares.
Ryan Bader vs. Rafael Cavalcante - another toss-up that is going to be fast and furious. This fight doesn't leave the first round.
Andrei Arlovski vs. Brendan Schaub - Not sure why I'm picking Arlovski, I just am
Mike Easton vs. Yves Jabouin - Hulk puts that 3 fight skid on hold
Kajan Johnson vs. Tae Hyun Bang - Rajan Kajan!

MacDonald did his thing again last night where he completely neutralizes his opponent's strengths, taking them out of their gameplan. I loved how he brought back his cocky swagger and started messing around with Woodley by dancing and waiving his arms around, just completely disrespecting the "chosen one". It reminded me of when he fought BJ Penn and it was clear that Rory absolutely zero regard for any kind of threat his opponent could pose.

Mighty Mouse once again had an utterly dominant performance. I'm not sure where that division goes now - he's beaten all of the talent there (and in some cases, beaten them twice). Benevidez destroys everyone in the division, but Mighty Mouse destroys him.

Bader looked like a monster. He seems to get better with every fight and deserves another shot at a top 5 opponent.

Rory really deserves a title shot. People were talking about who Woodley is going to fight after he beats Rory weeks before 174 even took place. Rory made him look like an ordinary fighter.

Rory's taunting was in response to Woodley starting to circle his fist around like he's Ali. :lol It was funny.

Really the only threat to MM is Dodson, because of his power and relatively equal speed.
