    Here's the Weigh ins

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OyVdLw4CfI



    Pretty Interesting after Paul Kelly's weigh in, i noticed that he'd put a big cross (marker pen) through his back tattoo of the Wolfslair, i guess that split wasn't as amicable as we're led to believe!

    I've said many times that it was a ridiculous tattoo and he'd regret it! It's like getting your GF's name tattooed on you, probably seems like a good idea at the time but.............

    Had to laugh at Renzo wearing the Man City shirt and patting the crest like he's a Blue Manc.

    I know he's Brazilian so is more than likely a football fan, but a guy from Brazil, in Abu Dhabi, playing to the crowd by wearing the shirt of a tream from England....

    Are Manchester City not owned by some crowd from Abu Dhabi?

    Yeah they are, but they're still a team based in Manchester.

    It would be like a fighter wearing a Manchester United or an Aston Villa jersey in the US to curry favour.

    Or a Sunderland jersey in Ireland! LOL why did he have to go wearing that, now a part of me wants Hughes to win and I feel dirty!

    ah but they probably have been marketed up to the rafters over there since the takeover and id say they are a huge brand over there at this stage and instantly recognizable.

    Renzo is close friends with Zayed Al Nahyan who owns part of Man City and UFC that is the connect and why in part hes with UFC and fighting on the card. That and he hit it off with Dana really well last year apparently.

    This is a really good card and in Abu Dhabi there should be a crowd who appreciates the ground game.

    Plus it's on at an awesome time.

    BJ is a lock and as much as I like Maia, he'll be forced to stay standing and Anderson will destroy him.

    I think Hughes will take Gracie and then retire.

    Paul Taylor pulled out of his fight hours before it started, supposedely he had to cut 20lbs of weight to make 155 on the day before the weigh ins. Not feeling very well so pulled out.

    Johnson defeated Blackburn via TKO (strikes) at 2:08 of round 3.

    Story defeated Osipczak via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).

    Fans there still seem to be giving it a bit of stick too. Joe would usually call em out on it though, guess their wallets are too big.

    Thats exactly what Hughes is preventing, boring but a good strategy. I can see hughes winning tbh.

    Could be intriguing can Edgar and indeed Penn keep up that pace for 5 rounds?
