Lesner is going to out weigh DC by about 60lbs for the fight, he will cut to 265, and by fight be back up in the 280s.

Unless Brock finds away around USADA I don't think he'll even have to cut weight for this fight. He's lost A LOT of muscle. I'm afraid we never see this fight but if we do my guess is Lesnar doesn't have more than 20 pounds on him.

Hadn’t heard about that.

Bader just completely dominated from start to finish. I believe he was the betting favourite in the tournament and it's clear why. Maybe Fedor can catch him with something either standing or from the bottom but I think Bader beats whoever wins tonight.

Kharitonov has always been fun to watch. Nelson has looked awful for a while now and was just a punching bag after a few minutes.

Nallo had one of the best KOs this year.

Not a fan of Bellator fans here it seems lol. I do agree that Bader wins the tournament. I wish Kharitanov was in the tournament...

Bader was my pick from the beginning (I think) and he's done nothing to change my mind. Hope we get a good one tonight - would like to see Sonnen pull it off.

 

[Suxnet]

Fedor smashes another can lol.

 

[DFC]

That Fedor/Sonnen fight was suspicious as hell.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Chael has a history of doing stupid things in big fights, that weirdly timed spinning elbow in the 2nd Anderson fight and whatever he was attempting when he had Fedor's back tonight.

Bader is going to run through Fedor.

 

[PB37]

Wow, that was man vs child there. I love Sonnen but he was clearly out muscled at every turn.

 

[Avs_19]

Weird and sloppy fight. Fedor still has that explosiveness from the bottom. Chael isn't a natural HW but he's pretty tough to move when he has top control and Fedor just easily shrugged him off. I don't think he'll be able to do that against Bader though.

 

[DFC]

Hadn’t heard about that.

Brock's lost a lot of size in his arms and shoulders. Just a big torso now. I think he'll weigh somewhere in the 260 range, but he's not the monster he was pre-USADA.

 

[Moncherry]

Fedor smashes another can lol.

Another Ultimate Fighting Can.

 

[MaxV]

I just noticed that UFC has signed Sergey Pavlovich.

This guy has been hyped as a top HW prospect.

I’m looking forward to seeing him. I wonder when he fights.

 

[1specter]

If anyone wants to witness a murder, Artem Lobov is fighting Michael Johnson on the Moncton card. What a terrible mismatch lol

 

[Sheppy]

Johnson is going to KO Artem within a round, and KO him brutally.

 

[pistolpete11]

Never thought I'd feel bad for Artem. They must be trying to knock him out of the UFC for good.

 

[MaxV]

Why are they doing this to Michael Johnson though? He deserves a real opponent.

Short notice fight as they had to pull Lobov's opponent as he was one of Khabib's crew.

 

[Avs_19]

I can't be mad at that. He has fought all of the best guys and won everywhere he goes. He's almost 35 years old and has been in some wars so getting paid good money to fight lesser competition is a good way to go out.

He only went 4-3-1 in the UFC but he never took an easy fight. Cerrone, Melendez, Pettis, RDA, McGregor, Poirier, Gaethje, and Poirier again is a crazy lineup.

Well this is from Lobov’s perspective.

But how does this fight benefit Johnson?

Easy win, gets paid, co-main on a card?

Good for Eddie for grabbing the cash, since this is likely his last chance at a big dollar contract. Can't begrudge him that at all.

Sucks as a fan though.

 

[LSCII]

Absolutely. I'm a huge fan of his and really enjoyed getting to see pretty much every one of his fights, but I get it. He can go to ONE, win the belt and have a much easier time being the big fish in a little pond over there, and presumably make more money than UFC offered. What's he going to do in UFC at this point? Be a stepping stone or gatekeeper for the younger guys to prove they're ready for a title shot? I say this because it's clear he's not going to get a title shot any time soon over here. He's on the back 9 of his career. Take the money and easier fights.

Yeah, thought it would be very hard for Chael, guy fought at middleweight most of his career.

Fought Jon Jones, Anderson Silva and Fedor. Chael fought legends wow.
