If DC is out, I'd give Derrick Lewis the title shot.

No news on it yet. He was down a while though so hopefully nothing serious happened.

This is why I don't get excited about these flagship cards until everyone is accounted for, and why I would never pre-purchase them.

******* Hell DC, never go full Tony Ferguson.

I have pulled that move too many times to count. Fall down but people are around. Act hurt so you don't get laughed at and instead get some sympathy. Oldest trick in the book. See pro athletes are just like us.

The Wrath of the MMA Gods continues. Brunson out of his fight vs Carlos jr. Edgar pulled vs Stephens. In all honesty we deserve it.

Chiesa missing weight cracked me up. Dude is broken. Still complaining about McGregor, even had the audacity to say Conor cost him a "title-shot" ahahahahahaha you were never going to get a title shot ya silly goof. I had Pettis winning already and now this puts the cherry on top. Chiesa is a bum.

Idk, massa. The percentage of missed weight fighters winning is making me second guess taking Pettis. 

Edit:  Also Glover was going to flatline Latifi.

Oh **** if he missed by alot it means he quit trying to cut early
In which case he wins i think. But if he cut right to the end and
only missed by a bit then he'll b depleted and i'll take pettis. 
Glad thats tomorrow gives me time to find out.

But tonight is finale night tuf 27 im gonna get all ****** up in honour of u bruce
It's like a sacrifice of my brain cells for u to stop being bad luck getting all theses fights cancelled

Chiesa missed weight? Wow, didn't see that one coming. I'd picked him to win by sub because Pettis is unreliable, a little more confident now.

Hhmmmm...i never liked chiesa 
Love pettis since he jumped off the cage and kicked henderson in the face
Great highlight greatfight.

Chiesa only said connar cost him a title shot cause he was planning on sueing him for sure
and he was thinking ahead trying to maximize his settlement.

Fishrat, Romero broke the missing weight curse of 2018. However Chiesa is the favorite anyway so it's not a terrible pick anyhow.

Mediocre fighters shouldn't look ahead. Mike pretended to be "professional" then misses weight. Said he could do UFC Tonight and sucked and tomorrow night he'll lose and throw a temper-tantrum. 



and Chiesa looked absolutely terrible at the weigh-ins. Could barely walk
