    Fun fight, good finish but calling out Cruz? Don't think with Cruz' movement too many of them wild shots would land

    2m 22s of the 2nd round,wild 8 minutes of war.

    Sweets had the under 1.5 bet. As part of a 4 fight accum. That's 3 up.
    I've a feeling I lost the 4th from comments

    Have this on record at home. Looking flowers to it now.

    No after timing.....even in event threads. The kids kicked up a fuss earlier after someone left a general betting comment in this thread & Axwell left a warning.



    Bisping still going on about Alvey on FS1 post fights show :D went along the lines of "What are you talking about? You're fighting on fight night pre lims against UFC debutants and then you're talking about winning the belt? Baby steps!"

    Ferguson hinted in interview about him & Khabib doing TUF

    I thought rule only applied to the betting thread, forum rules need updating if that's the case. I'd agree with it tbh.

    But does a bet I lost count as aftertiming? Had Linekar over 1.5 rds

    My personal feelings, yes its after timing because you are only posting it after the fight. Win or lose doesn't matter, why only bring up your bet after the fight? Plenty of opportunities to post your bets before the fights.

    Fair enough, the aftertiming rule was my suggestion in the betting thread.
    Didn't realise it had spread beyond there.

    Man some great fights! I was roaring for Vanatta to do the business, what a madman. Sickened for Mayday but could tell straight away he didn't want any of those mini boulders. Love watching guys who are motivated to make a name for themselves or trying to get up the ranks and putting it all on the line.

    Some great fights on that main card. Boetsch looked impressive. Samman looked like a fella they grabbed from the crowd last minute. Very sloppy.

    Co-main and main events were deadly.

    I like Tony Ferguson and I think he could be a real threat to Alvarez but I was on my feet hoping that Vanatta would do it. If he opted to keep punching instead of going for the choke late in the first round, he could have had him. He was landing some serious shots.

    As for John Lineker - What an absolute beast that guy is. Him vs Dillashaw next would be a good fight.

    I thought the card was kind over saturating things after last week but my God I enjoyed it! Great way to cap off 200 and the surrounding events

    Finally got around to watching this, Vannata is really enjoyable to watch, I was hoping he out Tony away, so close! McDonald wanted nothing to do with Linker after he landed the first body shot,after he went up against the fence he was a sitting duck and it was only a matter of time! Still surprised he killed himself making 125 he's a beast at this weight and looks much healthier.

    Stick it on a Fight Pass prelim headliner... for time difference selfish reasons. ;)

    Also, give us Linker v Dillashaw. Give it to us now dammit!! Both fought within the same week and would be ready to fight around the same time.

    Dont see Lineker v Dillashaw happening any time soon. Most likely Dillashaw will be fighting for the belt against Dominic Cruz. Lineker V Cody No love, now that would be an interesting one...
