Maybe GSP/Lawler still sneaks in there..

Fingers crossed..

[Robz4000]

So what happens to this now that McGregor is "retiring"?

[SupremeGuy]

The UFC just dropped him from the card. Goddamn that went from 0 to 60 fast as fuck. :lol

Brock is just here for payday, but he gets lots of credit for fighting such a tough foe. Hunt is an animal..

What a fucking card. The undercard is better than some non-PPV cards for this event. Insanity.

If five of the fighters in this card get injured in the coming month, it will be your fault.

This is the best card on paper I've ever seen. Wow!

[ace3g]

Not anymore...

[pgardn]

DC kind of said it.

Jones is self destructive. Maybe the test is mistaken but I somehow doubt it.

[Robz4000]

:lol wow that sucks

[shyne]

Jon Jones is such a sorry piece of shit. I hope this is the end for him, what a fucking waste.

[playblair]

wwe star main eventing mma/ufc biggest ppv ever brock will tko hunt proving wwe is the premier combat sport

[2centsworth]

I'm such a jinx. Dana White is going to kiss McGregor's ass after this.

[Cry Havoc]

Jon Jones is such a sorry piece of shit. I hope this is the end for him, what a fucking waste.

If it stays up, it's a 2 year ban. Who knows if Dana would even give him a chance after that.

[thiste]

Well I guess that makes me right about my first prediction...

but damn, what a piece of shit

[dbreiden83080]

This kind of shit makes you want to quit watching sports.

He has nothing to lose since he's washed up.:lol (He's going to get PAID no matter what)

[Pauly D]

I want Silva to win for old times sake but I think he'll get demolished. Even if he lands some stuff Cormier has a great chin. The fight will go to the ground and it'll get ugly fast

[txstr1986]

Meisha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes for the women’s bantemweight championship – This fight comes down to Tate’s toughness and durability vs. Nunes’s blitzing power. While Tate seems to get stronger the deeper she gets into fights, Nunes has shown a tendency to gas after the first few rounds. In a 5 round fight, I like the champ’s chances here.

Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt – I honestly think that this is a pick ’em fight, and can see legitimate paths for both fighters. Usually, in such a “wrestler vs. boxer” matchup I would pick the wrestler, but here I have to go with the Super Samoan. If Brock get on top of him it could be over, but the chances of Hunt landing a walk-off shot are pretty good because of Lesnar’s less than stellar stand-up.

Daniel Cormier vs. Anderson Silva – I’m still not sure why this isn’t a title fight. DC has the belt and they’re fighting at 205. Anyway, DC gets the victory here due to his constant pressuring of the Spider. I would also look for a lot of highlight reel slams from DC as well – Silva has definitely lost a step or two and he is just returning from gall bladder surgery…

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar for the featherweight championship – Frankie almost beat Aldo in their last meeting, and what has happened since then? Aldo lost the belt in 13 seconds to Conor McGregor and Edgar has absolutely steam rolled everyone in his path. It feels like two fighters on opposite trajectories and Edgar is going to walk away with a tight decision victory.

Cain Valasquez vs. Travis Browne – tough fight to call. While Cain is clearly the more talented fighter, we’ve really only seen him fight once in the past several years, and that was a very sub-par loss to Fabricio. Browne, on the other hand, is one of the few heavyweights who can match Cain’s athleticism. I’m still going with the former champ here, but wouldn’t be surprised if Hapa walks away with the win either.

[thiste]

On two days notice Silva probably can't do 5 rounds right now. It's a special kind of preparation.

Anyway I see it being over in the first anyway

[playblair]

brock is going to draw the biggest ppv/gate in ufc history ufc fans does it irk you that a fake wrestler is ur top draw

[thiste]

3/3 so far, good fights

[thiste]

6/7 so far, not too shabby

Congrats to Peña though

[DJR210]

Further proof of why women belong in the laundry room..

Overall, would have rather bought a teener than UFC 20O.. What a piece of shit, they should have had Tate vs Nunes on the prelims

Even her tap was weak af

[playblair]

brock will win the ufc title & hold the wwe title simultaneously

[01Snake]

The lesbo detroyed Tate. Looked like a man in there fighting a women. haha

[dbreiden83080]

So so event.

Cain looked good, Travis was terrible. Cain gets another title shot probably.
Feel bad for Frankie that was his last shot most likely to be a champion, but Aldo is just better everywhere really.
DC/Silva was whatever. DC can't win, he was cheered coming in and then jeered as he grappled Silva.
Brock I thought would get KO'd, but rag-dolled Hunt pretty much.
Main event was dead. No energy from the crowd whatsoever, the Jones situation seemed to suck the life out of them. That women's belt is a hot potato since Holly beat Ronda..

[Kawhitstorm]

That women's belt is a hot potato since Holly beat Ronda..

Styles make fights & Nunes ferocious pace is just too much for Miesha who is a slow starter. Miesha's style is better suited against standup fighters who have to fight cautious b/c they don't want to get taken down but she eventually catches 'em.

At this point, Miesha/Cat II makes the most sense while Pena/Holly/Nunes/Ronda duke it out for the belt.

[tlongII]

Terrible card. Boring as fuck!

Cat looked great for 1 round and then I don't know what happened to her? Maybe the layoff was too long. That rematch should motivate them both..

[thiste]

Unimpressed by the main card, gotta admit the lightweight title fight and the JJ fight were the high points of the week-end after all.

Cain vs Browne went pretty much like I expected it to go, he's right in the mix and should be next in line for the title after Stipe vs Reem.

Edgar just doesn't look like he has the tools to win against Aldo, after his move from lightweight to featherweight he now looks too small for the best guys there. The natural move would be to go down to bantamweight but not sure he'll want to do it.

The DC fight was a let down but what can you expect? He did what he had to do but meh.

Lesnar was maybe the good surprise of the evening. He had a good solid gameplan vs a dangerous opponent but it's true that Hunt looked slow and one dimensional. All in all, he doesn't look like a contender but I can see him winning some fights vs some good guys.

As for the main, I was rooting for Miesha so much that I probably didn't appreciate Nunes' performance as I should have. Props to her, very impressive display. Now I don't know how long can she keep her title when her opponents survive the first 2 rounds.

[Cry Havoc]

[thiste]

So Brock is juicing. Who would've thought?

[pgardn]

Lesnar had to give it one more chance so he could go on with life on the farm with no regrets.
Well his fight night sample was also + for what is thought to be the same substance Jones was using.

So he got that last chance to cheat, now he can retire happy knowing he did everything he could.
