    Would have been stacked to the ceiling if Blanco/Bermudez and Taisumov/Dariush stayed in tack.

    Either way I like these Sunday events, I'm sure the Euro's won't though.

    Fox set up the NFL playoffs so that the Packers/Redskins game likely won't coincide with the Prelims. That game starts at 4:40 ET and the Prelims at 8.

    I probably should be trying to find a way to this show as I skipped McGregor/Siver. Seems like they are doing an annual Boston FS1 Mega show every January here though.

    ^Scratch that about the Packers/Skins game, this is the week after. Denver will be hosting somebody(probably Pittsburgh) at 4:40 ET.

    Lot of recent changes to this card. Mairbek Taisumov has been forced off the card and has been replaced by Mehdi Baghdad(RFA Champ and TUF 22 cast member). Jimy Hettes is injured and will be replaced by Augusto Mendes(Legacy BW champ moving up a weight class). Abdul-Kerim Edilov hurt his knee and will be replaced by Elvis Mutapcic(WSOF vet, MW moving up a weight class). Also Maximo Blanco is gonna fight Luke Sanders(RFA BW champ moving up to FW).

    Lot of guys taking short notice fights a weight class above where they normally fight.

    Pick the opposite of who I picked, that's who's probably gonna win.

    Hard time betting on Cruz when he's been out so long. Too many variables in that equation.

    Kind of how I felt before he fought Mizugaki after being out 3 years... but then he fought Mizugaki. I'm almost having a harder time betting on TJ since he's only ever fought one ranked opponent in his life

    No arguments there. TJ is also a wildcard imo. That just adds to my doubts about predicting the fight.

    Sorry Euro's it's the same deal as the McGregor/Siver fight last January. NFL playoff schedule is 4:30 ET & 8:15 on Saturday and 1:05 & 4:40 on Sunday. They will promote the s--- out of it through the Seahawks/Panthers game on Fox tomorrow and do really good numbers on FS1.

    Also another last minute replacement Kyle Bochniak replaced Augusto Mendes(who just accepted the fight a few days ago) against Charles Rosa.
