    Not the greatest card on paper but I had the same feeling going into last weekend's Fight Night card and it turned out to be rather entertaining. Will be interesting to see how Koscheck gets on. Incredible to see how far he's slid really.

    Holly Holm is an absolute monster and am expecting an early KO from her.

    As for Rousey and Zingano... Not really sure. Expect Ronda to win but not all that comfortably.

    No real interest in any of the fights except the womens. I think Rousey is sensational to watch. Her judo is just so good and her moves are effortless and slick.

    Hope she gets the job done.

    Not her fault but I think its boring as her fights are so predictable because she is a level above everyone else. Shes a 1/9f v Zingano and they are making the previews like its some sort of a scratch match.

    What a horrendous PPV card. It would be bad even for a fight night...

    Zingano is a beast. Rousey's toughest test.

    Zingano has a tendency to start slow and I think that will be her downfall here. I'd prefer Munoz to be on the main card over Jouban/Walsh.

    Just by looking at Zingano I'd guess that she's on some sort of ped

    Chicks arms and shoulders are thick!

    She's been wrestling for maybe 20 years now.

    As much as it's great watch Rousey fight, it would be nice to see Cat do the business here and keep the division interestingas well as give her a well needed personal lift. I think Ronda is just too much of a beast for her though.

    .

    I was thinking the same about jake myself

    saying that I suppose you would expect josh to have lost to hendricks, lawler and woodley
    jake losing to lawler mac and gastelum, again with the possible exception of gastelum you would expect jake to lose to the other two

    interesting fight and a hard one to call, josh the underdog
    cant call it myself

    Re: Weigh ins.

    Anyone else notice a huge difference in size between the the main event fighters and the co-main fighters? On appearances alone, you'd be forgiven for thinking the two fights were in different weight classes.

    Really really hope Zingano does it, Ronda comes across as a bully, really didn't like her after her stint on TUF.

    im hoping for Zingano but expecting a relatively easy nights work for Rousey if im completely honest.

    Besides Rousey being so far up hr own ar$e, i hate the fact that the UFC are completely ignoring Zingano in all of the embedded videos. They're not giving her air time at all. Completely disrespectful imo.

    But resting bitch face will win it fairly comfortable, she is light years ahead of the rest of the women in the UFC

    Fancy Ronda to take it but think it'll go into the 3rd or 4th. We're not going to see her properly in trouble until she fights Cyborg, who is headlining an Invicta show in July now.

    My money is on Ronda against Cyborg UFC 200 next year.

    Cyborg smashed her opponent last night, 46 seconds or something

    Holly Holm to walk through Pennington within 2 rounds. Interested in the main event. I think Cat's only hope is to out wrestle Rhonda... and I'm not sure how she'll do that.

    Cant see Rousey taking more than a round to finish Cat, Zingano starts to slow. Fully expect a first round armbar, expect Holm to win via vicious headkick in the fight before that.

    Only just noticed Koscheck on the card, he's back ???? He's a weird one to me. I feel like I;ve seen him fight loads but his record would belie that. He doesn't actually fight that much at all. :confused:

    Anyway I see him winning this one later.

    Yeah Koscheck back after a 16 month rest, hes fought 23 UFC fights since 2005, taking into account the layoff too thats 2-3 fights most years which is pretty normal. He's someone I just cant take too, love to see him lose but feel he will grind out a decision tonight.

    Joe Rogan said he thinks Ronda is the most dominant combat sport female? I think she is great but you would have to say its Katie Taylor

    That would be an amazing fight. Do you think Katie might consider a move into MMA someday?
