Lots of great fights from top to bottom. The prelims on UFC Fight Pass/Fox Sports 1 are worth checking out too. Even if you can't shell out the $60 for the PPV or if you don't have cable, I'm sure a friend could hook you up

https://imgur.com/LiVLTf3
Fights 1-4 from 6:15pm-8:00PM EST on UFC Fight Pass
Fights 5-8 from 8:00PM-10:00PM EST on Fox Sports 1
Fights 9-13 from 10:00PM to ??? EST on PPV

The main event is for the Middleweight championship, and the comain event is for the interim welterweight championship!

Any of you boys into UFC/MMA?

I honestly hope I don't miss it. Going to need to get a VPN to try and watch it in China I think.

I can't wait for RDA to smash Covington. Guy is such a try hard McGregor wannabe.

Holy shit Clay Guida is still fighting?

Anyway I've lost interest in UFC, anytime a great fighter comes along they seem to go on coke binges and fuck shit up. There isn't a single fighter I really care about right now.

Apparently UFC deliberately ignores enforcing sanctions if they can book a fighter to put butts in seats. Rather sad.

If Lesnar came back I bet they waive his suspended sanction.

Colby Covington is pretty hilarious. He's taking the whole shit talking gimmick to a whole new level.

On the topic of being the underdog against Rafael Dos Anjos
I see the nerds saying Im an underdog. You know who else was an underdog? The leader of the free nation, Donald Trump. And just like him, I will rule by grabbing these pussies and putting them in their place.

He's not funny though. Most of the shit he says is incredibly cringe worthy. At least McGregor and Sonnen have some sense of comedic timing.

Covington is a bum and will never touch the belt. After RDA destroys him he will probably disappear into obscurity.

He's funny because he's taking it to the extreme to the point where it's a parody of himself. He's very self aware and knows what he's doing. Look at some old interviews of him and he is a calm well spoken guy.

Err what? There are plenty of great fighters not named Jon Jones and Conor McGregor. Max Holloway, Brian Ortega, Stipe Miocic, Yoel Romero, the Garbrandt Dillashaw Cruz triangle. Literally tons.

And this is coming from me, a guy who basically got into UFC because of McGregor.

Covington is good for the UFC. Yes, he is not a natural at trash talking or self-promotion, but he's trying and he'll get better, if his hype train doesn't get completely derailed. That clown Dana White has already proven UFC doesn't deserve legitimate respect anyway when you've got McGregor and Jones always fucking things up and skirting any real punishment. White has even said that Lesnar will most likely be back, which is fucking hilarious but understandable from a pay-per-view standpoint.

I like RDA a lot and do respect his skills, but he is so quiet and borderline boring. Thankfully, his fights are not boring and I'll be happy for him if he wins.

Edit: Did you guys notice that Rashad Evans is fighting?

Yeah that one is hype. Really looking forward to Holloway vs Ortega but at the same time not lol. Holloway is just fucking RAW dismantling Aldo not just once but twice and Ortega managed to do the impossible and finished Frankie. I just hope it's a banger and not a first round finish.

Is it different for title fights? I know in most cases the other fighter can still choose to fight but take some of the opponents purse.

You're not allowed to miss weight and fight for the title. It's on Whittaker if he still wants to have a non-title fight or just pull out.

That said, they should just have the damn title fight. Both guys are going to weigh well over 200 pounds by tomorrow anyway, so who cares?

Have you seen that stat for UFC fighters who miss weight and still fight? For recent fights, the win rate is something unbalanced like 6 out of 7 in favor of those who missed weight. For one thing, theyre literally not as physically or mentally drained as their opponent. Entering heavier would be an advantage in a sport that has distinct weight classes, but Romero missed weight by a small amount so hopefully it wont be too much of a factor. At any rate, I dont think Romero will be allowed to take the belt, even if he does win.

I don't think it's statistically more likely for fighters who miss weight being more likely to win. As odd as it's been this year, it's just an anomaly. There are plenty of fights from 2016-2017 where fighters missed weight and got knocked out.

There's always going to be a distinct advantage between the fighter who barely cuts any weight versus the fighter who nearly enters kidney failure because he's trying to cut forty pounds before fight night, regardless of whether weight is missed or not.

the only person who missed weight and lost this year was Meatball Molly from a very recent event. Just woke up from night shift so I have to get caught up with the news :(
