Also Diego Sanchez on fight pass? Yikes.

I'm surprised Villante is still employed, he's basically Chris Weidman's flunkie and nanny to his kids, pretty much his Brutus Beefcake.
I'm legit scared that Diego is still fighting, his brain is probably worse than Davey Richards.
I'm a mischa fan but she's getting knocked out on the first round.
I think I'm the biggest Mcgregor hater here in FAN but there's no way he's going to lose, I actually expect him to knock out Diaz on the first round.

Lol another brawl by the scrap pack.
Poor Connor, nate has crazy motherf***ers to watch his back, all Connor has is his movement coach.
In all seriousness I hope there's not a brawl post match, nobody needs to be suspended after this. But seriously what would dana thought was gonna happen when the diaz bros are on the building.

'Filthy' Tom Lawlor is the f***ing best, man. Just the best.

I'm honestly more hyped to see if Holm builds off her star making performance and dispatches Miesha, with presumably Ronda still looming.

I feel that there are still a lot of people that see Holly's win as the result of Ronda's failings rather then her own merits, and a strong win against Meisha will go a long way to silencing those critics and give Holly the credit she deserves.

Do you think they told Diego that he's the "Main Event of the Internet Portion of the card?"

The press conference and stage charging by the Diaz gang a few days later reminded me why I like pro wrestling in my MMA. Super excited for this one.

That's the real story of the PPV. Conor/Nate is a fun fight, but Holly/Tate will decide the future of WMMA.
If Holly can come out and blast Tate inside of two rounds, she'll be a star. If she struggles with her like her first two UFC fights, then no.
If Tate wins, Ronda's back for the title at UFC 200.

Yeah and apparently that brawl also helped kill Strikeforce, they lost their spot on tv after that lol. I don't think Nick and Shields are gonna be as crazy this time around since they're still suspended.

If Nate was on a full camp I'd give him a chance. But on short notice? Conor every time.
Also, Dana says that Conor may vacate the 145 belt if he wins tonight, which would be a shame because McGregor vs. Edgar would be insanely intriguing.

Given his size/how healthy he looked at the weigh-ins I don't see him damn near killing himself to get back to 145 any more.

Even a non title fight against Conor would get him a MUCH bigger payday then winning the 145 belt, and it's an easier fight then Aldo.

Really looking forward to this. It's the most interesting card in a while. Most interested in Diaz/McGregor and Holm/Tate. Expecting Diaz to take a loss here as it was just too short notice, but it should be entertaining regardless. I want Holm to beat Tate decisively here to show that she wasn't just a fluke.
