Anybody given thought to how much a loss by Conor McGregor tomorrow night will hurt? The UFC is all in w/ him. I have no problems with it and I enjoy his style, but my goodness if he loses there's going to be some fallout.

I hope we find out

It's pretty evident by the fact that he's in there with Siver. Hell wasn't Siver cut?
I mean they gave him the absolute most favorable match-up possible.

They have kept him as far as humanly possible from anyone with any semblance of a ground game.

Does Cerrone go 0 for 3 against Bendo?
I can't call that one, I'm not sure if Bendo is the same guy or if he just got figured out.

Bellator from last night, When Bubba Jenkins won the NCAA championship and came to MMA, I thought he would end up at the top.
Herb Dean definitely didn't get there fast enough... WOW... kind of scary...

I saw that last night. Surprised me because Dean is usually right on top of stuff. That was scary. He was out a lot longer than he had to be.

Cowboy has been pretty vocal that he fights so much that his mind plays tricks on him and he just doesn't perform well. I don't know how this fight plays out. I would be studying the guys who recently beat Bendo but Cowboy never watches tape.

Either way, he won't lose much stock here after stepping in on 15 days notice. Luckily he didn't take any damage from Jury.

Friggin highway robbery on the last fight, McGregor must have been blowing someone to get his boy the decision

I have never thought Pendred looked good and was just riding the Irish wave. He's a very boring fighter. And that was just a robbery. Wow, those judges should be ashamed.

Lol true. That was hilarious. He seemed like he was super pissed it went the distance. He wanted to end it, he does not like Jury at all.

Cowboy was pissed off because Jury ran his mouth to get the fight and Cowboy was vocal about Jury putting on the shittiest fight ever

Henderson likes those thigh kicks.

Damn close fight. I expected this one to be closer than the last 2. I think it shows that Cerrone has grown since their last 2 fights.

Good one, I say split for Hendo

ETA: I was wrong again

I'd say it was pretty even, but edge goes to Henderson.

Bendo shouldn't be mad at that decision. Close fight. R1 was a toss up but the whole fight was close.

Dang...Unanimous for Cerrone.

Robbed? Come on now. It could have gone either way. Was close to a 10-10 first round. Very close and Cerrone had round 2.

Bummed I didn't get to see this one. From the way it sounds, it wasn't as decisive as I'd hoped for Cerrone.. But good for him either way.

Good scrap, Benson and Cowboy, they need another round pretty close fight.

Sorry, didn't see it the way the judges did. Wasn't a blow out, but no way benson lost.

Bullshit.

It was very close, should not have been a unanimous decision, but I am okay with Cerrone winning.

Agreed. People on twitter saying Cowboy should have been more aggressive. He wasn't fighting some can in there. Bendo might have slipped a bit and lost the belt but he's still a top level fighter and kept the pressure on Cowboy. Bendo might have been on the lucky end of a few decisions, but he's tough as hell and very skilled.

I don't see the fight going to the ground at all. Diaz will want to stand and box and that's not the best game plan against Silva.

Siver was suspended 9 months for a positive drug test a while back. He does look noticeably smaller. Not sure if that will have much of an affect tonight but I would think overall it would.

A year and a half ago McGregor was on the prelims in Boston. Now he's selling out shows as the main event. Love or hate him but the UFC has done well to promote him. Good business.
