So Jones vs Glover has been moved again? Thats getting crazy , Hendricks vs Lawler does deserve the main event but why not push this fight back one month rather than move Jones Vs Glover yet again.

maybe Glover is having visa issues again and they are giving more time to get it sorted. Or maybe the Mur beating messed up Jones mentally :p

I think it's on account of UFC 171 being in Dallas and Hendricks fighting out of Dallas more than anything else ... that and having a vacant belt for too long isn't fun for an organization like the UFC so they pushed back the first one that was possible without mind-******* the fighters too much and also leaving enough time to prepare for a championship fight ...

This fights pretty even. If Hendricks decides to bang it out with Lawler, Lawler should pick him apart. If Hendricks decides to take it to the mat and grind out Lawler then Lawler is in for a long night.

81-19 Hendricks?

Should it really be that lopsided?

I tend not to think so.

I would really love to see Robbie win the title, but I think once Johny gets clocked by a good shot he is going to go into full takedown mode like he did against Condit.

Jesus I don't know if Hendricks can lose the weight, 1.5 pounds to go and he was already shaking up there.
