    Only a few weeks away and I think it looks a very decent card

    MAIN CARD

    Champ Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson – for light heavyweight title

    Johny Hendricks vs. Tyron Woodley
    Ryan Bader vs. Rashad Evans
    Shawn Jordan vs. Ruslan Magomedov
    Jessica Eye vs. Julianna Pena

    PRELIMINARY CARD

    Ali Bagautinov vs. Joseph Benavidez
    Daniel Hooker vs. Yair Rodriguez
    Alan Jouban vs. Albert Tumenov
    Angela Hill vs. Rose Namajunas

    PRELIMINARY CARD

    Islam Makhachev vs. Adriano Martins
    Chris Cariaso vs. Sergio Pettis
    Derrick Lewis vs. Viktor Pesta
    Sage Northcutt vs. Francisco Trevino

    Looking forward to seeing Alan Jouban again, really liked him since his UFC debut last year - guaranteed FOTN contender

    These threads need polls :D Could a moderator oblige please? :)

    I think Gustafsson has a great shot against DC. If he uses his reach better than Rumble did to keep this standing than I think he can pick Cormier off on his way to a decision. Easier said than done of course and Rumble nearly took Cormier's head off and still lost. I do think this will be a much tougher fight for DC overall though. I'll be having a nibble on Gustafsson at 11/4.

    I'll be rooting for Gustafsson if for no other reason than I severely dislike Cormier

    Would love to see nothing more than Gus beating DC but I can't see anybody beating him but Bones Jones tbh.

    Woodley v Hendricks has potential to be a snore-fest so I hope they both go for it in this fight.

    It'll be interesting to see Sage Northcutt's UFC debut in this one.

    I was watching a show on Fight Pass last night about Dana and Matt Serra going around to different local shows to find talent. They "spotted" him on one of these shows and gave him a contract. For anyone who hasn't seen the guy, he looks like he should be modelling underwear instead of trying to avoid being punched in the face! He is ridiculously good looking :o But he looks like he could be a fantastic addition to the UFC in terms of his skillset.

    And before anyone says it, I know Dana and co knew who he was beforehand and the show was just to add a reality TV aspect to signing him, which they were going to do anyway. It'll certainly help in getting the hype train going if he dispatches of Trevino.

    But they were also sitting there talking the piss out of him.
    They had bio's on all the fighters as far as I could see.

    I think there's every chance that both Woodley v Hendricks and Evans v Bader are both absolute stinkers. Slow paced gruelling grappling contests. I fancy Hendricks and Bader.

    Very intrigued by Gus v DC though. I still don't rate DC that highly.

    I was looking at his twitter this morning and he had a pic of him titled starting to weight cut, or something along those lines, it's gone now.

    He does look very big for his class too.

    Has he had issues with weight before?

    I think I remember watching some embedded vid where Dana was talking to Lawlor saying if you win you get the belt, if you lose you also get the belt as he's not made weight. Think he made weight in the end though.

    Yeah hes had problems with weight before, terrible unprofessional especially after all the batching he done about condit getting the fight ahead of him. Watch the latest vlog he says he's in the best shape of his life.... Obviously not though, there's no way he didn't know this was coming.

    Fairly ****ty for Woodley too.

    Will he get any payment for the work he's put in?

    According to Hendricks' manager Ted Ehrhardt, Hendricks suffered a blockage in his intestine last night while cutting weight, as well as a kidney stone. He was rushed to the emergency room and had to be given an IV. UFC president Dana White announced via Twitter Friday morning that Hendricks-Woodley was off due to "Hendricks weight cut issues."

    At Thursday's media day, Hendricks said he currently weighed 183 pounds, which he was happy with. The former UFC welterweight champion has struggled with weight cutting throughout his career, and earlier this year he made headlines when he parted ways with famed MMA nutrionist Mike Dolce.

    I don't know how or what a blockage in your intestine happens/is!

    Kidney stones from cutting to much weight, the same thing that's after causing Barao to move up weight and that hamper Aldo sending him to the hospital at one stage. It is unprofessional in my books. That's not the reason I don't like him anyway the main one is he seems like an absolute ass hole, especially all the stories of him giving out to people for touching his belt and not allowing people near it after he won it.
