    War Rumble!

    I hope he knocks DC's block off.

    Weidman should handle Vitor, but he's still very dangerous in the first round, with or without TRT. I guess I'm assuming that, he could go in there and look like Hendo has in his last couple fights.

    Ya i really dont know what to expect from Vitor, no TRT and last fought in November 2013. Im kinda just expecting Weidman to take him down and crush him with GNP.

    Rumble/DC is a way tougher fight to call, i want Rumble to win but think DC takes it.

    Wont be able to watch this until probably late Sunday night which kinda sucks.

    Yeah, I think DC will win too, but I hope Rumble surprises me like he did with Gus and Davis.

    Hard to believe Josh Koscheck once beat Anthony Johnson at welterweight and since then AJ has fought at middleweight heavyweight and now for the light-heavyweight championship. Not that I don't like DC or anything, but i'm definitely rooting for AJ here. He's the more exciting fighter and I want the more exciting fighters to be rewarded

    I was watching some of AJ's old WW fights, I forgot which one it was, but Rogan says "It looks like these guys are two weight classes apart. Anthony Johnson looks like a 205er in there." Funny how true that was.

    Anyways odds-wise their is only one super close fight and that is DC/Rumble. Makes Draft Kings picks tough, but Mike Pyle being as big of a dog as he is means i gotta pick him. Also taking Moraga because hes only $7,700 and probably wont get finished, that way i can spend on guys like Dodson, Weidman, Cerrone, Hall, Scoggins, Thug Rose etcc..

    Weidman is PISSED!

    aparently Vitor's testosterone levels are/were higher than his... and he is 10 years younger.

    He called him out as a cheater and said he'd punish him tomorrow!

    Weidman is starting to be an annoying c----.

    But you could see the fear in Vitor's eyes after that encounter.

    I mean i probably wouldnt want to fight ex juice heads either.

    Vitor is gonna get smoked, shouldnt even be a competition. Hopefully he jumps right back into training camp and we get to see the Rockhold fight ASAP....
