Remember when Aldo called Showtime Pettis a faggot and we all thought he was fucked because Showtime was the baddest man on the planet who doesn't take kindly to that kind of talk?

Dos Anjos looks the same as he always does. He ain't pissing hot.
He has worked everyone except Khabib in the last few years.

Spider looked the same as he always did. Just saying.
RDA has looked real different physically since the Khabib fight. Much bigger now and has some signs of juicing. Him jumping up on the cage celebrating reminded me of Pride Wand.

I was thinking the same thing.
However, he isn't on Wand's roid level. Wand's body had the consistency of a 90% erect penis:

The press conference should be something

Now we wait for the drug tests to come back; oh wait, Texas Commission. Never mind.

Really? I thought the opposite. I can't remember another card where the 4 main fights were all one sided as fuck.

Presser is about to start
Cejudo winning was no surprise. Kind of embarrassed that I even bothered mentioning that he'd win.
Reem played the safe Greg Jackson fight. Got the safe Greg Jackson victory. Roy Nelson may have clipped him good in that last round but he was too beat up to sensibly capitalize on it. Also, Roy Nelson called it a few days ago. I should have listened to him.
Hendricks gave Brown credit for not getting KO'd and he deserved every bit of that credit. Dude put up a hell of a fight for a guy getting his ass kicked for three rounds straight.
Joanna Jędrzejczyk beating Esparza was one of the most lopsided victories in a championship fight ever. I thought it was a good stoppage. Some of the replays showed Esparza wincing before she got hit. No instinct to block. No budo.
Dos Anjos beating Pettis was almost as lopsided as Joanna's victory. Pettis didn't even look championship caliber. He was just fighting to not lose for five rounds. All hail the new Brazilian champ.

What did he say?

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
So RDA will need work done on his knee. Great. We traded one banged up 155er for another.
If he pisses hot then you may as well make Khabib/Cerrone an interim/actual title matchup.

Once Khabib destroys Cerrone in May, he will have Ramadan from June to near the end of July. Then he would need likely a 3-4 month camp to rebound from starving himself. Hopefully because it is a partial tear Dos Anjos won't have a 1 year layoff. It would be nice to see Khabib (assuming he beats Cerrone) vs Dos Anjos in December. Who knows though...

I mean all signs point to Khabib destroying every mother f'er at 155.
The dude should probably clean up that division for the next few years
Pettis not being that great was never that big of a surprise. You take the fight to him and work him early takes away his explosiveness. Melendez almost had it figured but executed poorly. Dos Anjos planned it out perfectly.

I see Cerrone using his length advantage and shutting Nurmagomedov down. That and Khabib has got some ring rust built up. But I may be wrong. Either way it'll be fight of the night.
And Jose Aldo will probably be stepping up to 155 once he hammers McGregor. If he does, he'll be the LW champion for a long time.
Yup. Gil had the plan made. Pettis relies on his opponent being slower paced and methodical. That way he can turn his style on and chop them down. If someone pressures him and doesn't give him the time or space to carry out his gameplan then he looks lost.
And Pettis has been living off that Showtime Kick highlight for over four years now. Dana needs to let it go.
Pettis is a handsome, marketable young dude with a great highlight reel and the talent to hang at the high level of the sport. Why wouldn't you try to make him into a star?
