DC is probably my favorite fighter right now but it's gonna be a tall order for him to beat Jones, I don't think it's going to happen.


If Brock wasn't on the card it would feel like any other PPV

3 title fights, 6 current/former champions, and that's just the main card. I love Brock but wow you gotta be kidding.
 
For real, if youre not hyped for 200, youre not a fan. That card is fucking stacked. The undercard i stacked. Even the prelims are stacked. I cant fuckin wait for it.

They just posted some good videos on the UFC YouTube page.

Man I fucking hope DC makes Jones tap
I'm usually pretty resistant to the extreme pathos of the UFC promo videos, but that exchange

DC: "This is my life and I'm willing to die to beat you."

Jones: "Be prepared to do that."


always gets me.

Bisping Hendo 2: Electric Boogaloo

I mean, I want to see it as it will be exiting either way (revenge for Ping or a UFC strap for Old Man Hendo) but I feel for Jacare.

Absolutely.
I watch for good fighters and fights, not for personalities.
The Brock/Hunt fight, though stylistically intriguing, isn't the fight I am looking most forward to and it's not even close.

Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones Ring rust or not, I can't see DC pulling this off.
Miesha Tate vs Amanda Nunes Gotta give the edge to Cupcake.
Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar Edgar is cursed to never be a champ be a champ again.
Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt Huuuntoooooooo
Cain Velasquez vs Travis Browne I think Cain has just enough left in him to beat Browne
 
But Edgar was lightweight champion.....

This is the pick I feel most confident about. I think Browne is really well optimized against Cain. It'll be hard for Cain to box, and it'll be even harder for him to smother him against the cage. The big x-factor is how broken is Cain going into this fight, coming off of a string of knee and back injuries with very limited cage time in the last several years.

I must have scrubbed those fights against BJ Penn from my memory via the copious application of alcohol. And I own that series of the Ultimate Fighter. Never actually saw him vs Maynard when they fought, so his title reign completely slipped my mind.

I went back and forth quite a bit on that pick.

Has there every been a card with this many 5 round fights? (I'm assuming Brock/Hunt is 5 rounds)

I really want Jose to win but I have a feeling Frankie is going to grind him out.

Brock vs Hunt is 3 rounds. Probably for the best.

I ain't even gonna bother picking winners for this card. There's been a crazy amount of BIG upsets in the last year, and I always seem to pick them wrong.

The ONLY reason im picking Bork over Hunto is because this is 2016, and who knows what the fuck can happen in a world where Michael Bisping KO'ed Rockhold

Did you all see that Frank Mir actually asked to be let go by the UFC? Crazy to think he's been with them for 16 years.
 
RDA vs Alvarez and Big Country vs The Black Beast tomorrow. Should be fun. Don't think I've heard of any other person on the card though.
