    Surprised at how many picking nate tbh

    I'd fancy dp over 3 very strongly over 5 I'm not so sure

    He'll match nate no problem over three, much better these days and too big an ask for nate after all that time off although time off might not matter with a Diaz

    Nate no spring chicken and been out for 2 years. DP is on a serious win streak and only 1 loss since 2014. Hell of a fight though

    I think Nate will prob outlast DP in any brawl. Depends on rust for Nate though. Wouldn't put it past DP to drop Nate a couple of times, he can pop that left out of nowhere.

    UFC 230 With the commission there causing issues for weigh in giving them less flexibility maybe they won't try to make as big cards going forward?

    Cruz due a comeback however not sure I can see him headlining as it will be hardly against lads fighting this weekend. Ortega v Aldo unlikely. Romero due to be on that card, not sure he will headline though? Fact he misses weight occasionally and being NY commission prob better have him fight somewhere like Vegas.

    Assuming nate comes back same fighter, he may not be as durable. Hoping Dustin can get a TKO.
    If he comes back the same fighter, how could he not be as durable?!

    I was answering prev post where poster said they can only see nate win.

    I said that was assuming he comes back same fighter as 2/3 years ago. Aging plus ring rust etc

    Another card that all fighters made weight. Must be some kind of record.

    Surely that'll be it. Unless they leave it for tomorrow during the event? We shall see.

    Just watching the full press conference back. Some really good fights made beyond the big headlines.

    Oezdemir-Smith and Vick-Gaethje could be brilliant. Think Vick might be right about Gaethje though. The damage he's taken in his three fights in the Octagon is unreal.

    Nicco Montaño might be the most nervous looking fighter I've ever seen. The odds in that one can't be short enough on Shevchenko.

    Getting very sick of the UFC media refusing to ask questions for fear of being banned.

    Not one question about Nate mentioning the lawsuit was pathetic, even for them.

    Got to love him. Wouldn't quite call that "storming out" though. He just got up and walked away.

    Also, don't know how to embed Instagram posts but Stylebender's meme game is definitely fun.
