Only fighter I'm looking forward to here is Michael Chiesa, he got unlucky in his last fight and will certainly make a strong comeback

I'm actually going to this fight on Saturday - first time at a live UFC event so I'm pretty stoked.

Ricardo Lamas vs. Chad Mendes - Mendes and Lamas are very similar fighters, Mendes is just better (except at the BJJ) and is much much stronger.

Al Iaquinta vs. Jorge Masvidal - should be a barn burner and I really like watching Iaquinta fight - you can tell he trains with Wiedman

Michael Chiesa vs. Mitch Clarke - Clarke is sneaky good, and I'm so sick of Chiesa, but after thinking this over again, I really don't see a path to victory for Clarke. Chiesa is better at Clarke's strengths than he is.

Milana Dudieva vs. Julianna Pena - don't know much about Dudieva, but Pena has impressed me

Diego Ferreira vs. Dustin Poirier - should be an easy fight for Poirier

Have fun at the fight, one day I'll go.

Awesome experience yesterday - I highly recommend going to a live event if you ever have the chance. Being there in the building was incredible. It was funny how quite it would get during fights. There's no play-by-play, so unless the crowd is making noise it's just silent (except for the sound of the kicks, we could hear some liver shots and we were about 30 rows from the cage). The crowd is totally into it as well, and when the fight is tense they're just quiet and and on the edge of their seats. Plenty of "USA" chants when the Russians were fighting, and apparently Guida is super popular, because the "Guida" chants were the loudest of the day...
