    If a WW like jake shields is capable of staying on top of hendo for 3 rounds a few years back, imagine what a HW like Cormier on top of him will do

    I'm sorry but your logic is faulty at best

    Whether Cormier dominates or Hendo dominates has no baring on the logic of the statement.

    I must be the only one who think hendo is well and truly past it

    He was embarrassing to watch until he caught shogun

    So true, i hate this thing that people have that just because a fighter won his last fight he is great and a fighter who lost is terrible. Shogun looked great in his last fight, in shape and performed, hendo looked terrible but got the KO and now people are mentuoning hendo getting a title shot, unbelievable!

    I'm afraid I can see it not only being a dominant Cormier win, but a turd of a fight too. Cormier isn't an exciting fighter and I think he'll grind out a boring decision.

    Exactly. I expect this one to finish early and in similar fashion to the first round of the rua fight.

    Welcome back Andrei Arlovski!


    ^ White just put that up, wonder if he's serious or not. An Arlovski return? I'd watch it

    I dunno why but I was looking up his record during the week, apart from the rumble fight his recent record is good, although the opponent quality isn't great.

    HW division is still thin for talent, I'm sure he will have some entertaining fights.

    Fightmatrix has him in the top 20 above some UFC Heavyweights so he is vaible.

    Arlovski is awful to watch these days, with the glassest of glass jaws it just takes one glancing blow to finish the fight so he fights cautiously as hell. The HW division in the UFC is terrible, so it is not surprising he has been added.

    Arlovski??? The guy get's KO'd with a strong wind nowadays.
    Anyone that gets TKO/KO'd 5 times in a row should not be licensed to fight anywhere!

    It just looks worse now compared to the other divisions, to think HW brings the biggest draw is terrible. 80% of the weight have poor skills and rubbish cardio.

    Id say between approx 05:15 - 05:30 as the programme ends 06:00 and they usually aim to have a finish of the main not too long before the end.
