211 with no "super fight" is a really good looking card. Probably looking forward to the masvidal/maia fight followed by joanna/andrade fight most. But even the top two prelims with alvarez/ porier and the chas skelly fight. Chas is always fun
Stipe
Joanna
Maia
Yair
Cejudo
Alvarez
Chas
The stipe fight is going to be a boxing match. People trying to say andrade has more power than Claudia so something new for Joanna. Joanna is just far and away the best female fighter in the world right now, love her meanness. Maia vs masvidal is going to be epic, really stoked for this one.
5 years ago Frankie beats yair but too many miles to keep pace, will be exciting. Cejudo going to have a huge wrestling advantage vs Pettis. Alvarez has to win, from champ to prelim and another loss would be real bad. I just think skelly is a fun fighter to watch and hope he wins.

I can't believe Eddie is on a Prelim card ... geezus. Haha
gsp/bisping cancelled. bisping to get the shit kicked out of him by yoel instead.
Bisping has been saying since March that if GSP delayed much past July, that he'd give the shot to Romero. So Bisping keeping his word, which is commendable.
“I heard that he wanted like September or October and that is what the UFC told me as well. But I am just throwing it out there right now. If he wants to wait until September or October, then he can go find himself another opponent,” Bisping said during his podcast.
“If he’s not ready then I guess Yoel Romero gets his title shot. Listen, I am not afraid of Yoel Romero. If GSP wants to fight, of course, there is a great storyline there. Georges St-Pierre coming back, fighting for the middleweight title. It’ll do big business, but I am not willing to sit around and he’s doesn’t get to call the shots. It’s my belt. I’m in my prime,” Bisping continued.
cormier must really really hate jones. called him a bitch ass nigga and a junkie. i liked the junkie bit but i don't think he is the kind of person that calls people niggas.
the summer event was shitty except for cormier/jones. they all try too hard now.
Disappointing card. It felt a lot like a UFC card from years ago with the grappling/wrestling specialists dominating the early fights (Maia/Edgar). Dos Santos wanted absolutely nothing to do with Miocic. The Maia/Masvidal fight was, to me, underwhelming. It's a good example of why they should do away with the 10-point must system. Edgar just smashed that kid. He's such a smart fighter. I think he will be the guy to take out Aldo. The first fight was dead-boring.
As for the womens' fight, you could see this coming in the last fight for Andrade where she kept getting hit and tagged but her opponent didn't have the power or skill to make it count: they all counted last night. She obviously has a huge advantage given she's fighting two weight classes below where she should be, which just show how awesome Jedrzejczyk really is. No one is beating her. Wonder if she fights at 125 to get some competition?

100% she will. And I could see her pulling a McGregor and nabbing both belts at once.
gustaffson looked really good. no way grover can beat jon jones or cormier. feel bad for mischa. he started out well and then a fluke punch behind the ear dropped him. he is lucky that happened on the first fight of his new deal and not the last fight of his last deal.
212 is garbage. the only good fight looks like aldo/halloway, i hope halloway wins.
claudia/carolina could be good and a nice gauge of the fights behind jj.
Jones vs Cormier at 214 will be epic ... nothing better happen between now and then to either one of those guys ... Jones better lock himself in his Gym and stay away from pretty much everything. Lol
