yeah i was joking. Tibau could go to a DEC. Johnson might be able to keep off the ground but im not couting on it. And I try not to pick DEC in a HW fight unless both guys have good chins. I think we see that excellent Barnett BJJ tonight.

So is the first fight starting at 3:30PT or 4PT?
Also they're still on facebook/youtube right?

Nvm, I answered my own question.  
It's on youtube and says they start at 3:30 for anyone else who wasn't sure.

This is the first PPV I will be watching in a long time! I can't wait for this ****! It's going down! Poirier and Brandao will be amazing, so will Hall/Leben. I think that the Voelker/Patolino will be FOTN, no one's talking about this fight but it will for sure be fireworks! Once the PPV starts, me and my family are gonna sit down, eat some chips and dip, and enjoy the fights! I have a feeling this will be a great night of fights. Did I mention I'm excited for this?! Lol

@MMATycoon- yes I am.
My current view is 

Rewatching 162 on the tv, (due to end 3 minutes beore the youtube countdown ends so i can piss)
Bigger laptop has the press conference and prelim youtube streams lined up
Smaller laptop has my predictions open and the fightcard in another window.
Both laptops remote desktopped to my phone so i can refresh picks and change streams without getting up, as is the media server running the tv.
Snacks for the prelims ready (yes I really am planning on drinking that much irn-bru, i drink more of it than any non-scottish person), I'll be serving wings, ribs etc at the start of the main card.
And most importantly a pot of Acai and Goji infused tea brewing to give me a fighting chance of staying awake, because that **** gives you superpowers.

So yeah setteling in for a good night

Heh not bad @ben but we can't see any surrounding home furnishings or small objects!  For example, look closely below my monitor and you'll see my little axe warrior figure. He gives strength and power when I'm stuck coding a tricky part of Tapology.

Did a last minute change. Went from Poirier decision  to Poirier 2nd Rd sub. Looks like Diego had a bad weight cut.
