    Are you guys watching on UFC.tv or something? ESPN went to an ad break and I don't think I heard any walkout songs.

    Not really, that's a pretty tight bet, middle 3 i'd agree with, Aldo/Edgar could go either way, the only slightly dodgy one is McCall

    McCall is probably more heart than head but I felt he could have won that first Johnson fight.

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of options after the Dodson fight.

    i can never understand this, i've been to 7 events now, and for every one i've been in my seat for the first fight of the night.

    Ticket Sales in the U.S have gone down hill big time, i've heard the Rousey fight is only at 55% sales so far, yet everytime they come to the UK/Ireland it sells out pretty damn quick

    makes no sense

    i got that 29-28 Benavidez (1st & 3rd)

    But seeing recent judging that 3rd round could go either way

    Must be a big fight mentality from boxing, with the undercard not mattering as much.

    It would see US MMA fans will boo anything.

    It'll get to the point where there'll be fights like Griffin v Bonnar and they'll be booing!

    Maia just beat probably the 3rd best WW of all time and it wasn't even close.

    There's probably no reason he couldn't do the same thing to GSP IMO!

    The difference between Fitch and GSP is HUGE.

    Not a chance Maia could even get close to doing that to GSP.

    Fitch has been Fitched.

    Great performance by Maia, completely dominant, he could be a real factor in the welterweight division.

    I agree with your first statement.

    I'm not so sure about your second one. I'm not sure how exactly GSP could stop him doing what he just did.

    Sums it up perfectly. Much more entertaining to watch a BJJ expert doing it than a wrestling expert.

    I think GSP can just stick him on his back for 5 rounds.

    We all know he doesn't finish fights these days but his wrestling is better than anyone in the welterweight division that he can put anyone on their back and keep them there.
