That Guimaraes/Stittgen fight was the most perplexing fight I've ever seen.

From getting his arm destroyed by Aoki to now having an ADCC champ? Wow...

I think he has a chance if he can keep it standing though. Weigh ins will also tell us alot.

Perplexing is an understatement, haha.

@amp, Did you also attend UFC on Fuel 4? I remember Guimares won but I cannot remember who I thought won it.

Yahya will probably have a little mercy and just choke him if this gets to the ground.

@kallousklown. Sadly, no. I had to work that day. I wish I could have though. I did get to watch the fights because my boss is cool and doesn't mind if I have the fights on. I gave it to Guimaraes cuz he was the only one pushing the pace and trying to make it a fight.

That 3rd round was hilarious.

@amp, you'd better attend UFC on FOX 7 then.

@kallousklown. Oh, yeah. I'm definitely there no matter who they put on the card. It is a Fox card, so it won't disappoint. I haven't been to a pro MMA fight since Diaz vs Santos, which was forever ago, so that needs to change.

I've already missed 139 cuz I was out of town and Barnett/Cormier because I had finals to study for. Not gonna miss this card.

This is a more sensible matchup than the Healy fight. We could kind of tell what was going to happen in that one. It sucks that Hirota isn't going to get that rematch with Aoki, but maybe this is a good substitute.

He'll be tough at FW.
