Imagine Al does it lads ? Been thinking of it all day.

The thought of him just ending Khabib as he shoots has popped into my head once or twice.

I would love Iaquinta to do it as a giant **** you to Dana and the UFC but at same time I want Khabib still undefeated going into the inevitable McGregor fight.

Guys can anyone post the updated running order of the fights tonight.

I’m getting the head down for a few hours here and I really don’t wanna miss Joe Lauzon’s fight.

Felice was absolutely shredded in the weigh in, crazy physique. That said I think Karolina wins and I really hope so.

Karolina is on a different level I think.

I’m predicting a seriously one sided demolition job in that fight. I was actually surprised they were ever matched up.

Im a Khabib fan, but in the absence of a Khabib vs Tony/Max headliner, the bouts I am actually most looking forward to are JJ vs Rose and Karolinas fight.

Speaks volumes for how far womens mma has come.

Posting this in the McGregor thread as well.

I would love to hear wonderfulifes take on all this.

In a weird way I'm looking forward to the Iaquinta fight more than either of the two main events slated before this one....Al has something that neither Ferguson or Holloway have and thats real ****-off power in his hands....I dont think either ferguson or holloway would have had enough pop on their punches to deter khabib from wading straight into clinch range, but if Khabib tries to close the distance with reckless abandon against Iaquinta I could see Al hurting him.

Now its obviously still a long shot, but I see a more clear path to victory for him than either of the other lads had.

Tony Ferguson can crack, defo has decent power in his hands.

Sure early on in his UFC career they talked more about his hands than his wrestling

I feel that was largely due to his time on TUF where the match-ups were quite favourable....since knocking out Nijem in the TUF finale years ago he has 2 wins via ko / tko. He has good power but not fight changing one-punch power like Iaquinta.

If all 5 main cards go the full 3/5 rounds what time do you reckon tonight will end at?

Normally I’d just stay up, but I’ve a christening tomorrow so I’m half thinking of getting a few hours sleep before it starts.

He dropped both Tibau and Barboza before submitting them.

Joanna - Submission

What time is first fight kicking off at tonight?

True, and Nate Diaz has dropped multiple opponents before submitting them, but no one would mistake him for a one-shot power puncher. As I said above, Tony has respectable power, but I dont think its comparable to Al's

I hope this is real :pac:

Conor and Cowley have bail terms and protection orders keeping them away and the security would have been shown their faces a lot, the others (besides Artem, Roddy and JK) and unknown to most of the UFC staff and the security.

Was Tiernan Bradley going to be in Artem's corner?
