The last 5 UFC events have been won by the challenger, will it continue tonight?

RDZ v Alvarez

MacDonald v Thompson
Rockhold v Bisping
Almedia v Garbrandt
Werdum v Miocic

I think it might

Mod Edit: Considering the fight was only last night you should be using spoiler tags..

Ah yeah, how could I forget, both fights are 50/50 for me. So hard to call a winner in each and all 4 fighters highly motivated.

Id love Claudia to win but 7/2 for Joanna by KO is tasty

I hope Claudia wins this one. I cant stand Joanna after watching this years TUF season.

Either way , it should be a war.

If Andrew can get it to the ground it will be over but Khalil could land a few bombs. I'd say Amanda will take Tatiana. I thought Cory was getting a shot on this card after being inured during the season, anyone know what's going on with that?

Watched Joanna/Claudia last night. Fancy Joanna by KO this time. Just has far too much for her on the feet I think.

Yeh was surprised to see the odds on that one. Amanda looks pretty good value.

He's fighting Josh on the prelims. UFC couldn't confirm it until after the semis however and thus it isn't on the picture in the OP.

Zero-Cool

Excellent Josh deserved another go, should be a cracking fight.

Lads I missed the Joanna v Valerie fight, how was Joannas cardio in the later rounds?

Didn't get in for the poll in time, Gadelha on points for me. I'll be back once the televised prelims start, still too cheap to subscribe to FightPass. :pac:

I like fightpass got the yearly package on discount late last year, I find it very good just wish it was available on ps4, would be so convenient :-)

The White Feather

Lads, I have just noticed Kevin Lee's belly button. :eek: It looks weird....!!

It may help him win!

Stoppage waaaay too early

Paully D

Good stoppage for me. Matthews was done. I think he hit his head off the canvas on the takedown which may have rattled him?
