    It's probably the leanest he has been since he bulked up after Lesnar. Maybe it's age I don't know. He's awful fat compared to when he was interim champ.

    Mir should really be 240, hes doing himself no favours at all bumbling around the cage slow as hell at 257

    They were booing the whole fight during clinches

    I thought there was one point where comier seemed to break off the clinch because of the boos.

    Comier really seemed to tire for the final round

    Herb was very quick to separate the clinches too, i assume for the same reason

    I booed in my head im sure thats ok, but Mir didnt have it at all Daniel really good at gettin up close reminds me of Velasquez who a lot of people also think should be at 205

    I thought so too, there were times he told them to work, then didnt give them a chance to do anything before breaking it up

    I'll give that one to Melendez too, Henderson picked it up at the end, but he didnt really get the better of the exchanges to make it count for anything I thought

    Very hard one to suss out, Melendez looks like he has his number though. Such a well-matched fight.

    Tricky one, I'd say judges will give it to Henderson. Look like an elbow or two got in after the bell, ref should have been in closer

    I'd like to see Melendez get off a knee on one of those takedown defenses

    So close but I think it would be a robbery to give it to Bendo on what we've seen so far.

    I think this last round is going to decide it if one of them can dominate it. It looks like the fight is getting away from Melendez though

    Whoever gets the decision, I get the feeling we're going to have yet another lightweight title fight rematch.

    Melendez shades it IMO.
