    Anyone else hate the fact that one of Mir/Arlovski has to lose and probably in devastating fashion?

    yes but I've also wanted to see the matchup for ages now.... so it's definitely a love/hate

    crazy how fast UFC 200 is coming up... I'm sure rumors for the card will start soon. wouldn't be surprised to see Fedor on it

    Ya Mighty Mouse will probably take the smart route and win with TD's. Still think Dodson is a decent play on DK's because of his KO power and the fact that it's a 5 round fight.

    @JohnnyDrama what you talking about, Ron Stallings gonna fight twice.

    Man, they trying to avoid the curse of the "getting your hair cut at the barber shop during embededded" by having both Mighty Mouse and Dodson doing it.

    Plus lol at Andre Drummond not trying to spar with Dodson.

    Going pretty hard on Arlovski, Rumble, Rivera and Stallings for my DK picks. Riggs looked terrible at the weigh ins and supposedly collapsed back stage(and the odds shift shows it).

    Usually only risk 25-30 but since we're in for a 3 week break after this I went up to 45 as I'm decently confident for this one. Not to say Mir or Lineker can't win though, they could both easily get the KO.

    Went with DJ in one line up and Dodson in another. I think DJ wins fairly decisively by UD, but Dodson at 8k had to be taken up. Plus with all the finishers being expensive you kinda have to go with one of the lowest priced fighters, just to get them in. Like Chambers at 7.1k, no chance in h--- but to fit DJ and Rumble in I had to go with her.

    Not sure what links will work. The 2nd one is doing the "this site contains harmful programs" BS. It does that sometimes but that site has been very consistent for me with all other sports. So I assume it will work later.

    I go with bigevents.tv. It's 10 bucks but HD and never shuts down.

    I didn't really pay much attention to this one. But it's got a pretty solid card. I'll be missing it tonight though. Maybe try downloading it in the morning.

    We'll see how Diddy Kong Dodson does. Arlovski and Mir kind of sucks in terms of both having a turn around and on 3 fight win streaks each I think? Does the winner get the winner of Cain/Werdum?

    Pretty sure the winner gets Werdum unless they bring in Fedor, then I could see them putting Fedor against the winner of this fight.

    There's no way to predict what will happen at HW. Werdum vs Cain 2 probably doesn't happen until February or March. If Werdum wins and JDS wins then that rematch makes the most sense, since Cain/JDS 4 will be out of the picture.

    To me it's JDS vs Reem winner unless JDS and Cain win. Overeem's wins over Struve and Nelson shouldn't put him in the title picture, but a win over JDS is a trump card over any other win anyone else can get.

    But ya the Fedor vs AA/Mir winner rumor has been floating around. It's also rumored that Bellator HW champ Minakov could be let out of his contract and come to the UFC(the UFC just got the rights to broadcast a Russian promotion called Fight Nights, Minakov will headline the first show on Fight Pass on September 18th).

    So much going on in the HW division, just wish Werdum could have fought earlier.

    BTW Dana is always saying stuff like "that fight would have never been stopped in Vegas". When you see fights like Riggs/Stallings you know what he means. Anywhere else the ref calls in a doctor and that fight would probably be stopped in between the 1st and 2nd.

    Lineker andRivera, now that was an entertaining fight. That whole exchange they had reminded me of Sanchez/Melendez.
