Fairway to Heaven
Surprised there is no thread on this. Such a sick card, although I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of the headline fights are one sided. Obviously the H bomb is the x factor, and im curious to see what Cormiers game plan is. Anyway, I told the wife I was going to the bar to watch this, she wasn't keen on that idea, so I will likely be hanging out with you gents. :shake:


Side note, the Weidman card is shaping up to be an all time great card for entertainment value. A huge step up for Bruce Leroy.

Reduced on 5dimes.

I'm out and about today but hope to get a few thoughts in this evening. Have to think Hendo will be worth a look tonight as he's +670 on BOL right now.
 
Weidman card looks to be all time great.

I played Iquinta/cheisa/fergeson
lawler under
rivera under
holdsworth under

think the lines are right on main card. Cormier should easily win a decision. I like TJ, but not betting against 10 years of dominance. Think ellenberger has shot but lawler has looked amazing.
 
That was without question the best performance and game plan I've ever seen in the UFC BAR NONE. Absolute hats off to TJ and Bang. Incredible effort.
 
I am speechless. TJ Dillishaw is an absolute star. To go for that finish in the 5th round up by a mile is amazing stuff.
 
Dillishaw is like Cruz with good power. He was like a hamster on crack tonight. Can't wait to see the rematch when Barao comes in respecting his opponent.
 
Dan Henderson has to consider retirement after that performance, right? Rogan was practically trying to announce it for him in the post fight interview
