JDS by Rd4 KO Diaz by Rd2 SUB Struve by Rd1 KO Gonzaga by Rd2 KO
Also, Nate Diaz missed weight by almost five pounds and will surrender 20% of his purse to Dos Anjos.

Gonzaga over Mitrione Overeem over Struve (I hope Struve doesn't pull out again, and even if he wins I don't think Reem is gonna be on the ufc for much longer) Dos Anjos over Diaz (Nate hasn't fought in over a year, and Dos Anjos after his transformation into a killing machine thanks to Rafael Cordeiro is gonna be too much. Rafael Cordeiro can turn anyone into a badass he did it with Werdum) Finally JDS wins it by knockout.

With the Overeem fight (I'm still picking him though), If the Struve who fought Miocic in the second round of their fight shows up and remembers to use his height and reach advantages then a upset is definitely possible. Because I really don't known as the Reem should of been able to beat Bigfoot,Browne and Rothwell but he still found a way to lose those fights but still Struve doesn't have the chin that Browne or Rothwell have but considering that Overeem tends to lose when his opponents had a comeback and Struve tends to win via comebacks this could be interesting.
Though if Overeem does lose badly again he should be cut as the the guy will be up there with Cro Cop being on the biggest busts in UFC history.
Though I do want Miocic to win because honestly I have little interest in seeing Cain beat JDS half to death for a 3rd time.

Wow the tale of the tape picture of Joe Riggns makes him look 20 years older.

Well thats a first, two fights in a row where a fighter has lost due to botching a takedown and then getting themselves submitted.

"It's been eight years since Joe Riggs was in the Octagon!" *Joe Riggs hurts himself on a takedown and taps to a submission set-up*
Poor Joe.

That heelhook would of made Palhares (which speaking of him he is fighting against Jon Fitch today) proud.

Willy Gates Gate isn't nearly as exciting as if could be.
Though, funny that Rogan and Goldberg made sure to hype how Gates acted appropriately...but the crowd is still so daggone ticked off about it.

Well thats a first, two fights in a row where a fighter has lost due to botching a takedown and then getting themselves submitted. By a set-up. Varner tapped to a chin crank... which hurts like hell, but...

Well, girl with the cut is going away win or lose... Not smart at all. We'll see how Dana reacts to this. Last time it happened Paul Daley was banned for life. She lied too claiming she didn't hear the bell, but it was clear as day and the referee was between them.

She threw a cheap punch a second after the round ended after the ref had already jumped between them to end the fight. She claimed that she didn't hear the bell, but the ref was already there touching them both, so I smell BS.

Yes, I'm glad Joe Rogan called her out (on commentary) for indicating she didn't hear the bell. The referee was in between them holding them back when she threw that punch. The leg kick has some deniability, but the punch when the referee is literally holding you back can't be explained away by claiming you didn't hear the bell.

They both threw and landed after the bell, but that was them swinging in the final second of the fight and the momentum carrying through. That final punch was just dirty.

Meanwhile this is a weird card so far. Two takedown botches lead to defeat. Femtex hits after the bell. Diaz of all people misses weight. Overeem will probably grasp defeat from the jaws of victory. Let's see where this goes!
