    Lets go ARRR TEMMM! Gritz was a weird choice to bring back. I thought Than Le would get a shot before him.

    Think this is the fight where all those wars Edgar has been in, catch up with him and he gets knocked out for the first time.

    Bullsh!t that Marcin doesn't get the shot really.

    It's USA v Europe series, I imagine that was a big factor. Plus Marcin Was finishe, Hall wasnt - I imagine that's less of a factor.

    Quite muted reception for Artem at the weigh-in (as it was for everyone else to be fair), but I suppose a lot of people are only getting in to Vegas today.

    Hopefully there will be a good crowd of Irish in to support him tomorrow night.

    Finally can go back to supporting Mendes, KO in the later rounds 3 or 4, he will have to much for Edgar imo.

    Win and you can't get cut, be exciting or a prospect and you might get more fights.

    Frankie, Ferguson, Lauzon for the win.

    Hope Artem pulls it off, I like Hall as well though.

    Going to be a cracking fight but Mendes is my favorite fighter in the UFC so I can't back against him, watching 189 was tough!!

    I couldn't pick Mendes over Frankie. Frankie is responsible for some of the best fights I've seen.

    On paper it's a FOTY contender I can't wait, looking forward to it nearly as much as Aldo/McGregor. Some week of fights, Christmas came early :pac:

    Yeah same here. I just can't imagine what it's like making that walk...For any of them. Not just McGregor. Guess that's why I'm not a fighter!

    There'e no limit on how many fights they can have, there'e no guarantee either.
    Same as any fighter getting a shot in the UFC.

    Joe Lauzon was eliminated be in the semis of TUF 5. But he's making his 20th UFC appearance this weekend on this TUF finale.

    Mad season of TUF, Lauzon beating Pulver before the series started was class.

    Yeah, that was a little strange to say the least. Would have been more strange if he ended up on Jens' team.
    Lauzon must have been a late replacement and not fully signed to the UFC prior to TUF. Or maybe they just struggled for numbers for the "comeback" season.

    Think Mendes will do the business.

    Looking forward to Gonzaga/Erokhin.

    No idea between Ar-tem and Ryan.

    Interesting from JK over on the42.ie
    http://www.the42.ie/john-kavanagh-column-11-december-2496597-Dec2015/
    "As for Ryan, he was initially due to fight a different opponent on tonight’s card before the reshuffle happened, so I was actually going to be in his corner. Instead, I’ll now obviously be on the opposite side. As soon as the fight is over, however, we’ll renew our good relationship and discuss the possibility of him cementing his connection with SBG."

    Hall fighting out of SBG? That would seriously cool! Heel hooks for everyone!

    Would be seriously class if he joined with SBG. Conor and him seemed very friendly in embedded especially as they knew he would be fighting a teammate.

    What's the running order for this? Is Artem the penultimate fight? Are we looking at 5am for Mendes and Frankie?
