    Cheers guys. I had a feeling it was something to do with a lot of you meeting him in Dublin and him being pure sound too.

    Also like Ben and won't be too disappointed either way. But have been a big JDS fan sinve his UFC debut and that Overeem fight was very hard to watch.

    Want him to bounce back here with a big KO.

    You should watch the season of TUF that he coached. Classy guy.

    Nice little shuffle from Rothwell there to start with!

    Yeah enjoyed that season El Cucuy won it. Although I was supporting Chuck O Neill :)

    Round 1 to JDS I think.

    Rothwell looks like he is trying to pick up a particularly aggressive puppy the way he is looking to get his hand over the top like he's trying to scoop it up without getting scratched! Such a weird style so interesting to watch.

    Are you saying they normally watch the fights? I'm pretty doubtful sometimes!

    Sheesh lucky there wasn't another 10 seconds there! Would have loved to see ASOTs face just then!

    Rothwell needs to get going here. He's not letting his hands go at all

    Junior looking dangerous, Ben was saved by the bell.

    A dos Santos win just makes the heavyweight division so much more boring. Just the same old faces over and over again. Come on Ben!

    This is some boxing clinic from Cigano very impresive.

    JDS really winning me back over with this performance, I hope he can keep it up! I'd love to see him throw a rear uppercut sometime instead of always going over the top

    That's the old JDS that we new and not the one who fought the Reem, will be gutted if Ben loses this but you can't begrudge JDS he's a legend.
