Great to see Oliveira getting some shine now. He's paid his dues, and I hope he gets some big wins these next few years against the elite of the elite.

Do you think JDS is at risk of getting cut too? He's 0-4 of late. But his record's a bit of a headscratcher. He was 3-0 prior to that, and traded wins & losses for a few years prior to the stretch of wins, followed by stretch of losses.
He beat Velasquez for the title 9 years ago, but Cain avenged that loss twice over by wrecking him in the trilogy.
21-9 record overall.

Yessir...he then been in too many wars.. brah
Definitely think they should have ended those Velasquez fights sooner. Cain kicked his ass something serious when getting payback x 2.
A fighter can't be in too many wars, and still have the same heart, I think a fighters heart has a meter... brah
My boy, Deveison...wont be the same either.. brah
Agreed. Almost a false sense of confidence too. He caught Cain in just over a minute in the 1st fight. Whereas Cain kicked his ass over 25 mins in the 2nd fight, and TKO'd him in the 5th round in the 3rd fight.
Cain made a serious statement ... unfortunate about his injuries over the years derailing his prime.
Went on a roadtrip with my brother to the Cain-Brock main event in Anaheim back in late-2010. That was fun ... pro-Cain arena ... we were up in the nosebleed seats!
That rematch with Moreno should be very interesting sometime in 2021. What a battle!

DEFINATELY....JDS looks shot.
I can see him going to Bellator and losing there too. Too many wars
Agreed. Could see him continuing losing there, or trading wins/losses unfortunately.

Saw my first and last live UFC even like this.......NEVER AGAIN. Was at the TD Garden for like 6 hours. Showed up during the prelims. 30 second KOs seems cool when youre home, but if youre there....you gotta wait for like 40 minutes it seems till the next fight. All you can do is drink and eat. I think I spent at least 200.00 that night..LOL
this was the night Browne KOd Overeem
That was a crazy comeback from Browne over Overeem!
I hear you re: quick stoppages ... they really derail the format with the big breaks in between. Lots of fast-forwarding at home, lol. Can't do it in person. Lol @ the $200 ... stadium prices!
We were staying at a Super 8 near Disneyland. Walked over to the Honda Center a few miles away. My brother drank 3 beers walking over. Had them stashed under a 2nd t-shirt he was carrying. I kept telling him to stop drinking in public ... he was asking for trouble. Empty stomach ... drank 1L of beer before he got there. He was loud and obnoxious during early prelims ...

Dam skippy... count me in... brah
I like Wonderboy but I always bet on black..LOL
Neal is a beast. His brother is too
I always root for Aldo since he got screwed out of his rematch with Mcgregor, but his time may be up too
Why does the UFC have the weak Lima brother..LOL
Khaos gonna smash too
u right...this card looks sick

Agreed - solid names on this card to close the year! Khaos-Pereira gonna be wild for as long as it lasts. Yeah - wish the UFC had Douglas Lima. He's making good $ over in Bellator as one of their faces (alongside the Pitbull brother). Neal is the truth. Great to see him headlining a good event. Glad he was able to beat that serious health scare earlier this year!
I usually don't watch fight night..brah
Douglas Lima over in Bellator ...

I’m looking forward to watching Bellator next year, they will Rumble Johnson, Yoel Romero, and possibly JDS...they should all be better than they were in the UFC because there’s no USADA.
I’m hearing Bellator isn’t with DAZN anymore. Just CBS Sports and maybe someone else? Hopefully they leave that Thurs night timeslot. Even the MMA media is forgetting about their cards of late. I just check highlights on Youtube
This fool here
It's so stupid, I had to laugh. Jake has ZERO shame!
