Frank looked a lot bigger than Junior at the weigh ins (22 lbs). Can't believe he is a 6-1 underdog. I still have Dos Santos as the favorite but if it goes to the ground Mir can take this fight.

Thanks for posting LL.

I'll be pulling for Miocic, Struve, Elkins, Varner & Brown. I'm thinking JDS and Mud Pride win via TKO(s).

 

[Hawkeye2]

The UFC is really trying to push Lavar Johnson, which is strange because he 35 and has no take down defense or ground game. Former LSU fullback Shawn Jordan submitted him in the second round of their fight.

 

[Liverlips]

Mike Brown gets us off to a good start with a unanimous decision over Pineda.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Nice Triangle from Sass.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Volkman is an Idiot, why go to the ground with a guy who has won all his fight by sub.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I hope Dan Hardy loses. I garentee he will spend the entire fight trying to take this to the ground. Yet he always say **** about Americans not having a stand-up game.

 

[Liverlips]

How scary is Sass on the ground?

 

[Hawkeye2]

But his standup sucks. You would think his opponent would try to keep it standing, but Volkman is not smart.

 

[Liverlips]

I hope he can work his standup. Usually, English fighters have money standup but are weak on the ground.

Is Sass with Wolfslair? I see he is a Scouser (from Liverpool).

 

[Liverlips]

Just read that Arianny is in jail on a domestic violence charge!

 

[Liverlips]

Sass only 23 so hope he can continue to develop his game.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Sass is sort of an Cody Mckenzie Aioki type fighter. He'll get alot of wins, but if you saw Aikoi's fight with Eddie Alverez. He is going to have trouble with fighters that keep it standing.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Not a fan of this card. Hopefully Mir can win and salvage some of this card.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Miller, Barbosa, and Brandao will all win. The main card is all mismatches.

 

[Liverlips]

Dollaway-Miller could go either way.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Why is Herman on the Main card, he doesn't train and is mentally ill.

 

[Hawkeye2]

CB really declined from his days on TUF.

 

[Liverlips]

"CB really declined from his days on TUF"

I thought the same thing. Miller is not a striker and had him almost out twice.

 

[Liverlips]

Hahaha ... another Great Black Nope exposed. Varner KOs Barboza in 1. Great story for Jamie who almost quit MMA last year.

I remember Pearson beat Barboza but got screwed by the judges.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Wrestling wise he is way better than Miller, and even his striking was good on the show. Great job by Varner today.

 

[Liverlips]

I always wondered what happened to Varner. He just kind of snapped after that DQ win over Cerrone in 2009. But he is a golden gloves boxing champ as well as an all-American wrestler. He is only 27 so maybe he can make another run towards a belt?

 

[Liverlips]

Kyle Kingsbury looked like Gordon Lightfoot circa 1974 with that moustache and long wavy hair.

No wonder he lost.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Varner should have never been cut in the first place. Glover I like as a fighter because he used to be Chuck Liddell's sparing partner at The Pit.
