    Main Card
    Brandon Thatch v Benson Henderson
    Max Holloway v Cole Miller
    Neil Magney v Kiichi Kunimoto
    Dan Kelly v Patrick Walsh
    Michael Prazeres v Kevin Lee
    Ray Borg v Chris Kelades


    Prelims
    Nik Lentz v Levan Makashvili
    Efrain Escudero v Rodrigo De Lima
    Chas Skelly v Jim Alers
    Zach Makovsky v Tim Elliot

    Fightpass Prelim
    James Moontasri v Cody Pfister
    Fairly weak card but a few good fights to look forward too. I'm keen to see Chris Kelades again after he beat Paddy Holohan and think he'll do better then the odds suggest, huge underdog but think it has the potential to be a great fight. Max Holloway is a huge talent and I can see him getting an early finish against Cole Miller.

    I love watching Brandon Thatch, Really has the potential to be a Champion at 170. His first round finish streak may finish on Saturday night but I think he'll beat Henderson with a late finish.

    Did that Brazilian fella drop nearly two pounds just by dropping his jocks? :D

    Patrick Walsh was pissed off at Dan Kelly for not making weight! Couple of intense staredowns aswell, potential to be a great night of fights tbh. Really looking forward to it.

    Just seen the weigh ins, the size difference between Thatch and Henderson is waaaay too big for it not to be significant. It looks like what it is - 2 guys in different weight classes fighting. Bendo better defend that body kick better than he did against Pettis.

    Other way around. Patrick Walsh missed by 5lbs and waived his option to try and lose it in 2hr.

    Slightly better drug testing (and not close to good enough), Nick Lentz got the flu on the day of weigh in hmm. The flu is pretty rough, usually feel it coming on hmmm again

    I enjoy a cycle on a Sunday but miss timed my last one hmm. Anyone else cycle the canals, I've to do with the bow river at the moment

    Cutting weight is pretty harsh on your body. It's not really outrageous to imagine it running his immune system down.

    You "suggestion" is obviously not impossible. But I'd think he'd have known earlier if he mis-timed something. But maybe not.

    Bit silly to suggest he pulled out due to fear of positive test. He always knew he wouod be tested fight night and afaik they havent upped the fight night tests its just they are catching guys out of competition which they didn't test in the past. Also im sure an independent doctor pulled him and he would have seen a high temp symptoms of the flu not just going on the fighters word.

    Ref said he was going to stop it anyway. Def illegal though, but in fairness he wasn't grounded when he started to throw it.

    1 minute into the fight and it has become crystal clear that De Lima's striking is absolutely horrible. . . .

    Seems like a bit of a cop out from the ref tho. He was done before the knee but it's the refs job to be on top of it.

    Ya Escudero is genuinely one of the worst 155lbers on the roster and is making minced meat of him. Awful fight.

    Agreed looked very very good. Would love to see him against either Uncle Creepy or Joesph Benividez

    Love how they use the UFC Dublin crowd going nuts after McGregor won in the UFC184 promo. Good times

    Not sure if anyone noticed, and my word it's a weird one, but the scream that "Cat Zingano" does in the ad promos for her upcoming fight with Ronda Rousey are actually soundbites from Paige the WWE Wrestler.
