Good fight. I think Mitchell takes it handy enough. His ground game has been phenomenal in his last couple of fights.

thought woodley might have retired after the burns fight.
This will be total domination by cc sadly.

Sadly as much as I love woodley i feel this is a do or die for him. if he loses he may retire and imo that is the likely outcome cause the form woodley has been on lately colby will steam roll him

On the other hand he'll have faced usman, burns and Colby.
He could probably still beat the rest of the division if he chooses to fight on.

I would love to have seen colby v masvidal

Zabit v Yair is only a 3 rounder? Not a fan of this, Zabit is probably getting a little shot if he wins, should be 5 rounds. Zabit clearly has issues going 5

Has this been rescheduled? Yair doesn't want to fight Zabit, can't see it happening.

It's been rescheduled for UFC 254. The Khabib vs. Gaethje card so it will neither be a main event nor a title fight, hence 3 rounds. Fancy Zabit by sub.

with Porrier v Ferguson co main its looking like a really exciting card, gutted Zabit won't be tested over 5 rounds though

Also disappointing that we don't get Dustin vs Tony for 5 rounds, but that might be a good thing for both. They've both been in wars in their last fights.

Could that not be a five round co-main? Don't think three rounds would do those lads justice.

Not unless they make it for a totally ludicrous interim belt or something. 5 rounds only applies when it's for a title or a Main Event. I'd imagine if either Khabib/Justin get injured or miss weight that Dustin would step up to fight for the title in the main event.

Long way off , hopefully this card stays together.

Diaz showed zero in the first fight to make me believe he has any chance bar a freak injury to Masvidal. Was as one sided a kicking as you'll see in a main event. Masvidal - better striker, more power, stronger and better grappler. A nice paycheck for both though.

A nice paycheck for everyone who lumps on masvidal.

Yeah, don't understand why they'd want to run that one back on any sort of sporting merit. Diaz offered nothing in the first fight and he'll just end up a bloody mess all over again.
