Not sure I'd agree that there isn't a bad seat. I had a cheap seat in the nosebleeds for UFC 85 and it was pretty poop.

I've sat all corners of the place and it's great, most recently Bisping v Silva.

Weakest seat was a cheap one for Gustaffson vs Manuwa and even that was fine.

Bisping out until may with knee surgery

another interim

May is plenty of time to let Joel feed on the souls of his sparing partners until he can retire Michael.

Two interims.

Joel vs Luke and Silva vs Shawn Micahels winner of each fights rachother for the super interim.

Isn't the new rule that injuries automatically equal interim titles

And the interim title combatants can be overweight, win the fight,not win the title but then not get a title shot cos the champ wants to go up and fight at the next weight for the title there????

Have to admit, when they eventually fight Bisping, the Super Undisputed UFC Middleweight champion does have a nice ring to it. :pac:

Michaels to beat Bisping by head kick, defo.

May isn't that far away, Romero should wait. In the meantime Jacare has a fight to keep himself warm, Mousasi is calling out Weidman, while Rockhold is apparently grappling Jon Jones in Chaels promotion. Seems straightforward that if Jacare wins he gets a shot or else fights Mousasi in a number one contender fight (unless Weidman beats Mousasi, then I'd give Jacare a shot straight away)

Had to dumb it down for the non-wrestling fans, that's much better though.

Great match-up. Looking forward to that.

Weidman on some slide if he loses that, will try wrestle **** Mousasi would've preferred a gimme fight like Hall or something to get a Win.

Cant see him winning that one.He was busted up fairly bad his last two fights and looks to be on the slide.

Didn't even realise bj penn fought last Sunday night. How was he doing before he was finished?

****ing terrible. A perfect example of how the game is evolving. He shouldn't have been allowed come out for the 2nd round. Saying that, he should have never been given Yair.

Django99

Big fight for Weidman he really is in no mans land if he loses.

Interestingly, I remember before the Rockhold fight he decided to lose a lot of weight to make the cut easier, if I remember correctly he was in the 190s a couple of weeks out. Perhaps he's sacrificed a lot of strength in favour of a smaller cut. Perhaps he could do with bulking up a bit and moving to 205?

Gamebred

I would be worried about his chin, got the piss beat out him by Luke then that knee, great fight for Mousasi.

I say this and thought "jaysus they're both big MW's but why fight at such an odd catchweight"

Always catches me when it's close to weight numbers, the amount of times I hear Conor is fighting at 205 and my first thought for 3 seconds is he's a lune going that high.....oh

Weidman was doing great against Romero until the knee, I'm still a believer.

He was going decent. Great is a bit of a stretch. He was hardly destroying him.

Yeah I'd say it was 19-19 going into round 3 so that was gonna be the decider either way.

Weidman wont make it back to the top imo. Whether it wad a case of he wasn't as good we thought he was (overrated wins against older fighters) or the rockhold fight broke him I'm not sure if we'll ever know.

Good debate alright :pac:

Useful.Idiot

It's admirable that The Chris is taking a tough fight so soon. Would definitely favour him to win this one but should be a good fight. I reckon he might have at least one more run at the title left in him.

If you're a BJ fan, watch his walk out (the best in MMA) and then turn it off.
The fight was a tough watch as a BJ fan

I'm a big BJ fan ( who isn't ) but haven't brought myself to watch it yet. Turned it off just before the walkout last night.
