I think there's a lot of upset potential all over this card. Whittaker is the dog I'd put the most stock into, but Perosh has power and looked great at weigh-ins, Rocha has big-show experience over Matthews, Harris is a heavyweight, Iaquinta has low fight IQ rolled into a supremely athletic build and Bisping could give Rockhold fits in a long fight.

I agree that Whittaker is the livest dog and hester won't try to take him down and not sure his striking is technical enough of a striker to win that type of fight

Digging the main and co-main. Intrigued by Matthews/Rocha.  Beyond that just give me good action please.

"Iaquinta has low fight IQ"

It's funny because I think the same thing, but Weidman and Serra have such a high fight IQ. Listen to your coach Al. "BREATH" lol.

Pulled the trigger and finally bought Fight Pass. No longer have to wait 24 hours and hit up Pirate Bay for most non-PPV events.
