McGregor is my countryman but I truthfully can't stand him. I do hope he beats Siver so that he gets to fight Aldo.asap.
McGregor seems confident he's going to dominate the whole division.

McGregor is one of my favorite rising stars, I love the way that guy puts on a show! I can't wait to see him against Aldo in Ireland, I put $100 down against my dad already for that fight!
Looking forward to the Siver fight as well, and to Andersons return, gonna be fun to watch him outstrike Diaz!

Yep, that'll be the question on everybody's minds! I really don't want to see him get injured again, but taking away his kicks makes him a completely different fighter. It's a little weird seeing Silva be so dominant in middleweight for so long then seeing these last two fights over the course of 2-3 years, I think that just speaks to Weidmans abilities. I'm itching to see him perform again too!
Looking forward to Cruz' return, sucks he got injured, I was really looking forward to him v. Dillashaw..

Alright guys, Jones has pretty much cleared out the LHW division, Gus and Rumble are headed to fight, winner gets Jones, but I see him walking through both of them, so lets talk superfight. Jones v. Cain/Jones v. Verdun sometime around new years, lets get some predictions!
Imo, Jones is the best fighter currently in the UFC. He beats Cain and becomes the, what, 3rd ever fighter in UFC history (after BJ and Couture) to hold two belts in two divisions simultaneously? This dude is my age and on his way to superstardom! I bring up his age because Anderson is the GOAT of the UFC, but with Jones' record so far, I see him surpassing Anderson very soon

jones>cain in a lot ogf peoples eyes
the size advantage he holds at lhw would be a moot point at hw
hw fighters on average are usually larger. jones is very good, but a lot of the fighters he beat are aging fighters and he fought them on their down slope of their careers
this takes nothing away from the fact he looked good doing it
only saying that if he moves up a weight class, he will find real challengers. i don't see him doing to cain what he's done to others. can is big but also has a gas take that doesn't quit
jones look tired last night at start of round 3, where cain would just be warming up
how muc did d.c.'s weight cut take from him? that's a moot point at heavyweight.
then again jones cuts weight too
interesting

I was very disappointed by this whole event. But as far as the main event I feel like DC didn't even even utilize his strengths in this fight at all. He really tried to go out there and knock out Jon Jones. DCs striking is nowhere near technical and he actually allowed himself to be taken down due to his poor technique. I was really rooting for ya DC, but that performance was lackluster.

I don't think it's that Dc didn't utilize his strengths it's just that he couldn't,Jones is a very different fighter and very hard to prepare for.......but yeah the whole event was mediocre at best.I'm also looking foward to Benson Henderson vs Eddie Alvares should be a sweet co main event.I really wanted to see Mcgregor fight somebody in the top 4 before getting that title shot but none the less it will be an awesome fight.

Damn right about that .. First time 'The spider' was acting like the village idiot and paid the price. Second time he probably had an undiagnosed stress fracture just waiting to give out.
But Weidman does look like a tuff MF.
