Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

Yup and damn Jake Shields nearly put me to sleep...

Myles Jury is such a tool....

looks like jurys got it

Lombard should never get a title shot until he really goes for it. That dude is a point-fighter doing only enough to win a round, then lays on his opponent taking no extra risks.

They keep saying over and over again that the title will change hands for the first time in 6 years. I'm starting to think they might be jinxing it, watch this end in a no contest.

BTW Mike Goldberg is the most annoying and idiotic announcer in any sport, any where...Christ I wish the UFC would put him out to pasture.

These flukish injuries during these main or co-main events suck. I'd rather have a controversial decision than that shit.

He'd be great in the WWE.

Very close 1st round. Probably 10-9 Hendricks.

Another bullshit takedown will win a big fight....so sick of that shit.

That may have been one of the least-controversial and easy 5-round decisions to score I've seen in a while. Hendricks obviously won 2 rounds, Lawler obviously won 2 rounds, and Hendricks probably won the first. Judges all saw it the same way.

nah, Hendricks did wrestle out the clock with a minute left when he knew he was ahead, but he legitimately knocked Lawler around in the 5th before that and won the round in the first 4 minutes.

...and Lawler knocked him around for the first couple of minutes.

I'm not claiming robbery or anything but they made the TD out on the commentary to be the biggest thing ever. They were both pushing Hendricks hard throughout the fight so it's not surprising.

Can't believe Rogan thinks Rory deserves the next title shot AND they had a video package of him ready to go...yeah seems legit LOL.

Who do you think deserves a shot? I thought his reasoning made sense.

# 2 Condit blew out a knee

# 3 Lawler lost and # 6 Shields lost. That leaves McDonald and Ellenberger and McDonald recently beat Ellenberger. It's a no brainier.
