    He'll show up but with his training methods we should never be surprised if he picks up a late injury. Obviously camp should be wrapped up by now but he clearly over-trains so who knows what he gets up to over the weekend.

    Whatever about USADA, one thing is clear - Nova Uniao haven't adapted well enough to the evolution of training in MMA.

    Very interesting fight here.

    Two guys def past their best (Gustaffson less so, but more just reached his peak). More I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if Teixeira stops it by strikes but would rather a Gustaffson win.

    Swedish MMA needs him to win desperately. They won't be back in Sweden anytime soon if he loses imo.

    I was worried up until now but I think he will show up. Although if you were to ask me which fighter is most likely to pull out very late I would say the Diaz Brothers :pac: no, really it would be Aldo.

    He does seem very fragile mentally.

    I would like to see Holloway win purely to set up possibility of him v McGregor down the road. Still see Conor winning but I prefer him to Aldo who just stays in Brazil and doesn't learn a bit of english etc

    Come on Alex!!!!

    Gustaffson looks great so far. Glover looks slow

    Alex did very well in that round but he seems to have his chin up. If Glover catches him it could be lights out

    The speed of Gus' punches. Landing those uppercuts flush.

    Glover ate those punches like a champ.

    How pointless was that interference from the doctor earlier?

    'Can he see?' 'I don't care I wanna fight anyway.' 'Right fire ahead'

    He should just throw uppercuts they seem to hit 9/10

    Glover is using the Homer Simpson style of combat.

    Now he hopes Alex is too tired and he can take him out in this round!

    Jesus hope Glover is ok.

    He took some damage in that fight. Too much heart for his own good.

    Death by uppercut. Glad it's over for Texieira as it was a one sided pasting for 20 minutes.

    Think the average was closer to 10/10 by the end. Unreal.

    What a performance from Gus, and fair play to Glover he took some punishment. Refreshing to see after watching a boxer quit last night
