Nothing against Jacare, as I'm a fan of his, but I'm a bigger fan of Mousasi and I hope he pulls of the win again. Reem will crush Rothwell unless he gets REALLY careless, Mitrione should win, but Lewis has some powerful hands so it should be a good fight, and could definitely see either man dropping.
And Chiese/Lauzon should be a good scrap, and a good test for Chiesa to let us know just where he stands in the division. I'll pick Chiesa for the upset

I've got Mousassi, Overeem, Mitrione and Lauzon.
Also, looking at the vids etc of the weight ins on Facebook, the official UFC page posted a vid of Lesnar v Overeem. The difference in Overeem's size between the two is ridiculous. How no-one realised he was on the gas is beyond me.

The "horse meat" jokes were everywhere, there's not a soul who really believed he was clean.

Side note, this is Rothwell's first match since he failed his test after UFC 164. And admittedly, part of the reason I picked Rothwell is because we're both from Wisconsin.

Pity that the doctor had to stop that fight as both Lauzon and Chiesa were giving it their all.
But still that was a nasty cut on Chiesa's eyebrow.

Shame for the stoppage as Lauzon/Chiesa was pretty damn good. Nasty cut though. I NOPE'd pretty hard.

That dude had a vagina over his right eye....... If Joe Rogan was calling the event I'm pretty sure he would say something like that was the return of the goat vagina.

It doesn't feel right to hear the phrase "veteran Matt Mitrione."

Was that a strike or did he just run into him?

That probably could not have gone any worse for Derrick Lewis.

Was that a strike or did he just run into him? Yep the replay pretty much showed that he ran straight into Mitrione's fist. So much for him calling meathead out.

He closed his eyes and swung as hard as he could...while leaving his face completely unprotected.
He basically headbutted Mitrione's forearm.

What's the story with the guy fighting Overeem? Standing there he looked like the cleanup hitter on a beer league softball team.
I also approve greatly of that Hooters commercial
