    How many fights does khabib have left on his contract?? Cos if I was the ufc id be getting worried he'll go elsewhere for money
    If elsewhere was Russia or Japan, then his contract isn't stopping him doing that now.

    I don't think Belator could afford to have a big draw as champ. They need 1 and done type PPVs

    Edgars cardio could win him this fight. Stephens has the power.....but not for 3 rounds I think.

    Stephens looks alot bigger than franky. Can't see franky taking him down and holding him down

    Frankie much quicker here lovely movement, he doesnt want a gun sling though.

    10-9 Frankie there I think, the clinch and the knees would have won it for him.

    Good from Frankie, think he edged it. Stephens will be easier to both get and keep down when he starts gassing.

    Romero is 5/4 with Paddy Power to beat Weidman. Pretty generous odds.
    miserable odds, worst of all by paddy

    Stephens is gaming here. There is no way that hit him in the cup.

    Nice takedown from Frankie there, too bad he couldn't do anything with it.

    Frankie probably has the most resolve of any fighter in the business. A real life Rocky. That takedown was pure class.

    The crazy thing is Frankie might've just nicked that round at the end too.
