    head to bed after the prelims myself, reckon I'll have seen the
    best of it by then

    if there's a couple of good fights on the main card it'll be as much and two at a stretch

    I think she deserved to be stripped, Valentina hinted at there being much more to the story in the background, even went so far as to say this was intentional, i.e, missing the fight.

    What's your take?

    She replied to someone on Twitter with this "Thank you. I’m doing good. Just keeping an eye on how my kidneys are feeling hour by hour. My sodium level has returned to normal levels so now it’s just a matter of paying attention to any change. Docs said if I had waited any longer I could’ve potentially gone into cardiac arrest because my electrolyte imbalance was so extreme, so it was a good thing the UFC docs had me go to the hospital."

    It was the UFC doctors who made the decision to send her to the a&e so they obviously saw something they thought was bad enough to warrant that. If that's true about her kidneys then she should be striped and made to move up in weight.

    she deserved to be stripped, delayed the fight twice already and now pulled out.
    I think there'll little doubt she didn't want to be there

    Will be staying up for this one as usual. Looking forward to seeing Zabit fight, has the potential to be holding the belt if he stays on track. Hopefully Till can get the job done, Woodley is a beast amd has all the tools there but just goes for the safe win and makes boring fights. Id rather see Till in an exciting fight defending the belt any day.

    Entertaining first round from the women. Think I'll hit the hay after this and catch the rest in the morning. Have Woodley on pts but will be cheering on Till, hope he does it.

    edit: very good women's fight there

    Sound, I was going by the listings.
    All calm now.

    Back on topic I want a Woodley win but finding it hard not to see Till winning.

    White is an average regional fighter.

    I have no idea at all why they bothered calling him up even on short notice against Magny, nor why they then gave him a shot against a big (albeit finished) name.

    One of the UFC’s strangest signings.

    72% v 28% in favour of Woodley here
    Thought it would be closer than that
