Prediction: correct Cerrone   wrong Decision  

I'm a huge Makdessi fan, but this has got to be some of the strangest match-making I've seen. No. 3 at 155 vs. No. 43?? When Thomson and Masvidal were ready and willing.

What the **** is this. I mean, if this was like.. a weeks notice where no one else was willing, great. But both Thomson and Masvidal seemed eager as **** to take this fight. Why? WHY?!

I want to know what the hell were Joe Silva and Dana White thinking when they set this fight up?  Thompson and Masivdal are better replacements for Khabib than Makdessi.

That pic for Makdessi tho. He literally looks like a veiny penis




It reminds me of the Palhares flexing gif.

This is at least equallly pointless matchmaking as Jacare/Camozzi II. Cerrone has nothing to gain in this fight and Makdessi is such an unimpressive opponent that it would sound weirder for Cerrone to get a shot off of beating him than beating Benson.

The UFC made a big mistake here by not making Cowboy vs Thomson

@JustynOfOsiris

Josh Thomson doesn't deserve any of the "high profile" opponents he is asking for right now. He's on a two fight losing streak and just dropped one to Bobby Green. Makdessi isn't the best choice, but it's still better than Thomson seeing as how he is coming off of a win -- and a more impressive one at that.

Johnson and Ferguson were the best choices.

In other words, Cerrone vs RDA announced. I am especially pissed about the fight falling apart because there was a big chance Cerrone would destroy Nurmy.

Not so fast with the "Cerrone vs RDA" talk yet. I think Cerrone gets past Makdessi, but with RDA injured I'm sure Cerrone will fight again before RDA's ready to defend.

As long as Cowboy beats Makdessi and gets his title shot I'm happy.

Enormous upset if Makdessi wins.  I can imagine him competing on the feet, but if this goes to the ground Cerrone will win instantly.

If I remember correctly, Njokuani outsruck Makdessi pretty handily. Still taking him for the lulz.

Cowboy is the better striker, and at the first sign Makdessi is hurt he's going to show he's even more superior on the ground.
