Loved Eddie last night. Only seen him in the UFC and the Pettis fight really let me down. Watched some of his old Bellator fights a few weeks back and immediatly became a fan. As a brawler he is awesome. Great performance.

Right. I'll stay out from these then.
IMO it's not ok to spoil events in other event's thread. But I guess that's only common sense.
Look in the OT, both Fight Night and TUD finale are included. It's all part of this week's events.

Anderson Silva is a huge get, Dana pulled off a freaking miracle.
Anderson risking more brain cotton for his retirement fund. Why not? Is normal. This the Ufc, thanks to Dana and Lorenzo for fight.
I'm just happy Cormier is getting his, that reaction to the news was painful to watch. Forget about the blood, sweat and tears - realizing you're short a few mil just like that is not something most humans are equipped to handle.

This will surely happen.

I was actually thinking that the thread title should be for all three events cuz we're going to talk about the TUF Finale in here too. It's a 3-day UFC event.
Yes a few times.

Sure, he destroyed HW James Irwin and TUF legend Forrest Griffin at 205. DC will murder him though.
Yes, but not in a while and not against top competition. Can't see how this will go well for him, but DC isn't a young guy either.

Bonnar too
To be fair, Griffin was one fight removed from being the LHW champ. Still, this 205 Anderson I can't imagine is in shape.

Just watched that too. Dude was in tears.
Shit, I'd be in tears too if millions of dollars were taken away from me.
Anderson in his prime struggled against wrestlers. Now a well out of his prime Anderson is going to fight the biggest, strongest, and most skilled wrestlers he's faced.
This isn't even going to be close y'all, let's be serious. DC is going to pick him up, slam him, and then never let him up. First or second round finish, this is a money fight and nothing more.

I'm sure that's a small fraction of it. I can't even imagine the mindset you have to be in to spend months training to avenge a previous loss against someone you hate, only to have it ripped away days beforehand.
What? He beat Forrest, the former light heavyweight champion. It wasn't way down the road either, it was Forrest's next fight after losing the belt. And he didn't just beat him, he entered the Matrix and destroyed him. Silva would have been the LHW champ if he fought him before Rashad got to him.
You can't downplay Anderson's greatness.
I think you really underestimate how much he wanted the payday.. as do many fighters. Theres a reason DC was willing to jump to HW just to stay on the card, and that there are 10 fighters instantly on twitter begging for fights on the card after a fight is cancelled. Money motivates.
Do yourself a favor and watch the Forrest Griffin fight. It's inarguably one of the best MMA performances you'll ever see.

After the week we've had, if you're the UFC, are you worried your main event champion hasn't weighed in with 14 minutes to go?

Fair enough.

Is Silvia going to be ready? I really like how he fights but feel like he is the underdog in terms of prep and weight.

You could give him months to prepare and it won't change the fact that he's 41 years old and going up against a world class wrestler.

Hendricks missed weight by 1/4 pound
Tate made weight
Tate made weight
Jesus this guy
Its a BIG "ZING" to Dana and nothing but Karma.
Dana white was belittling Miesha to retire and not giving her a title show last year.
Rousey got her ass knocked out... one of my favorite moments of 2015.
I am so glad.... a Title Fight should head line not Brock Lesnar who hasn't competed in years.

Anderson / Leben is better IMO, but yeah both are complete destructions
Has been stringently drug tested since getting popped, had surgery two months ago, weighed in wearing a shirt. You tell me, breh.
We gonna see the second MMA death of the year

Refresh my memory
Do they still do a weigh in later but they just get on the scale and pose for fans or do they not do that anymore?

Will Dana let him fight in a vest?
Yes, they will still have a fake weigh in for the fans later.

...part of me hopes Anderson pulls off a Steven Seagal patented Front Kick KO just to see the internet get lit on fire
They're working on it. There's a new rule where you have to weigh a certain percentage over your intended weight class the week prior to the fight. They also run tests to make sure you're not overly dehydrated to make weight, if so, the fight is off.
It's a really tough thing to police.

If Tate wasn't in the room at 10AM PST she wouldn't have been on the card, made it by 1 or 2 minutes

They can try and better regulate it but as long as being heavier/bigger than your opponent gives you an advantage guys are going to try and get that edge.

Another championship bout upset incoming?
You got that from a last minute weigh in?
They should just make people weigh their weight as they step into the ring.
People hardly ever miss their weight at the weigh-in, and if they do, the fight's off anyway. Plus, if people know they have to fight at their weight weight, they're not going to starve/dehydrate themselves because they're going to want to feel as fresh as possible.

That could mean that she had a bad weight cut. Bad weight cuts often result in inferior performances. That plus all the titles changing hands so fast... who knows
