    You could throw Alvarez into the mix aswell, Really looking forward to him against Benson Henderson.

    It makes you wonder who will get the next title shot. With Pettis being out for so long I'd imagine he'll be defending again soon enough if he wins.

    Maybe Khabib getting the next title shot, and the winner of Henderson v Alavarez and Cerrone and Jury face each other?

    Dos Anjos will look for a shot if he beats Diaz, but he got dismantled by Khabib, Maybe a rematch then the winner getting a shot at the belt? As much as i love Khabib and think he will run the division coming back off his injury i dont see him getting an immediate tittle shot!

    it's a two man division sadly

    khabib and pettis are well clear of the rest imo
    nobody could have beaten dos anjos like khabib did though

    I don't rate him that much, he's certainly not a 2/5 shot here I think it's a fairly even fight. Hobar has looked good.

    According to Joe this is his best performance yet.... Great round two but he hasn't showed much.

    I was really impressed with the striking accuracy of Sergio. A lot of hard shots landing, especially in the 2nd.

    Hobar gassed a bit, if he managed a takedown or two in round 3 he would have took a split I'd say. But one judge had it 30-27 so maybe not! Can't wait for the Samman/Gordan fight. Really looking forward to josh getting back in there.

    I don't mind using my phone if there's a few people on to chat with, like now! Hopefully it might pick up closer to the main card!!

    Have a treble on Travis Browne, Pettis, and Lawler as well as a side double on Melendez and Hendricks.

    Will probably end up with nothing back as usual.

    Watching it on a Fox sports stream..they cut away right as she face planted so couldnt tell if she was out or not and if the buzzer was gone or not.

    I can see Corey Anderson getting his first loss here. Justin Jones slapping that horrible chest hair on top of him, causing an immediate tapout just to get away from it.

    Jones looks like he's got some power in his hands, Anderson may be going to sleep if he's not careful.

    Jones looked gassed after 1st round! Whats with his huge gumshield? :eek: It looks like its making his jaw about 1/2 inch lower than normal....more area to hit, surely its not a good idea

    Yeah it's weird seeing a double mouthpiece in MMA, exactly why goldie said it seems to be disrupting his breathing.
