Dillashaw on Rogan tonight (sans Duane Ludwig) if anyone cares

Rogaine has instantly started blowing smoke up TJ's ass saying 'no one thinks it was a good stoppage' 😂😂😂

Best press conference in a while. Ben is always hilarious, and Tyron was on fire on the mic during that exchange with Usman.

Maybe it's because of the recent Nunes win, but I have a vibe Anthony Smith is going to win. I just smell a big upset with this one.

Tyron and Askren are winning their fights, though. No question.

Askren looking like he was late to a video call and decided to just throw on something to look decent except for his feet.

Does anyone enjoy Askren laying on dudes for 25 minutes? I wonder what Dana was thinking.
Similar to say Maia, I sometimes enjoy it from a purely technical perspective. Seeing him laying on the most exciting Welterweight fighter of all time is going to be a punch in the nuts, though. Fingers crossed for the upset.

I don't really see how this is comparable. Anyone who has watched Nunes over the past couple of years knows how strong she is.

Smith is seriously lacking stamina, and as much as I hate him, Jones will have no problems going the distance. As much as I'd like to see Jones getting knocked out, I think this is going to wind up like a repeat of Cormier Vs Lewis. The skill gap will be immediately apparent.

Ben Askren looking like that substitute teacher who just puts a movie on

Haha. He really does.

I wish they wouldn't put these events on in the middle of the night to prioritise US viewing audiences, it's so insulting to the host countries.

I cant hate on ESPN+

The prelims are already available on replay and the same will be true about the main card right after it airs.

Id take this over UFC Fight Pass any day.

You just know if Teymur beats Oliveira especially if he finishes him this crowd will go dead silent or boo him.

Brazilian crowds don't handle seeing their fellows Brazilians lose to foreigners with any class at all.

Still better than those awful USA chants though. Mindless patriotism is the worst.

Wow according to the post fight interview Oliveira couldn't see properly out of his right eye even after recovering.

I know these guys want that paycheck but that could have turned out badly for him continuing to fight.

Goodness grief Lyman Good is on a ton of roids, he is super ripped. Don't see that these days very often post USADA so it stands out so much.

Prediction, Good within the first round, he can hit really hard and Maia is the wrong side of 40. Unless Maia does what he did to Condit and takes him down super quick.
