Pumped. Seems as though Hendricks had a tough cut.. again. When you get so surprised and happy to see that you made weight, maybe you're in the wrong class.
Pettis and Melendez look ready to go though. Really, REALLY looking forward to this entire card.

Was just about to write that. I'm starting to buy into what dudes have started saying about the Dolce diet, that thing I read that Tito said on the matter was the first thing out of his mouth that made sense and wasn't whiny or delusional **** in a long time ... I'm not surprised though, Johny looked fat in the embedded vlogs so you knew he was cutting a ****load in a few days.
On the other hand, last time was even worse and he was good for a very grueling 5 rounder which, sad to admit, I believe he won fairly, even though it was on account of scoring points with takedowns that he did nothing with in the 5th, they were the difference maker.
Also, weigh ins got me pretty pumped for Hapa/Schaub. Can't wait to see Schaub wrestle ghosts again. Still can't get over his nickname change ... that Big Brown **** is so ******* awful (almost as awful as Showeather), makes me think maybe fighters have nickname bets like we do AV bets ... Schaub must've lost and needs to be Big Brown for 3 fights or some **** :)

Has the UFC ever had two title fights on one card where both of them are very, VERY close and competitive fights? Like, two fights where we could absolutely see two new champions without it being massive upsets?

In regards to Hendricks being surprised he made weight, doesn't he walk around at like 220 - 225? That's a ******* massive welterweight. I'd be pretty surprised I'd managed to drain off almost a 4th or so of my body weight also. "PRAISE THE LORD I'M NOT DEAD"

Dana White thinks Anthony Pettis is "pound for pound the best fighter in the world" Orly? Your opinion is watered down and doesn't mean **** as it changes depending on who is fighting on the nearest card to your interview. I'm pretty sure around the week of December 13th the P4P best fighter in the world will be either Stipe Miocic or JDS according to Dana White. The day before that it'll be Jeremy Stephens or Charles Oliveira. I seriously wish he was half as good at promoting fights as guys like Chael or Conor. Just speak the facts and don't blow smoke up peoples ass in order to sell PPVs. You have two awesome title fights and a pretty stacked card from top to bottom. You don't need to try to promote a guy who hasn't fought in over a year as the P4P best fighter in the world. Tell the truth and tell us he's P4P the most injury prone champion (along with Cain) in the UFC, so you better tune the **** in tonight because it might be your last chance to see him fight for a few years. It's not even a knock on Pettis, and I'm not trying to argue his place in the P4P list (because who really cares) but seriously, all you're doing by saying this **** is alienating your hardcore fans and JOE MMA FAN is like "What's a pound for pound? It better not involve any of that gay rassssslin ****. JUZ BLEDDDDD!"

Upset of the night is Schaub, I think he survives a first round onslaught from Browne. Browne gases Schaub gets a take down and locks in a guillotine in a scramble.
Hendricks pulls a Mighty Mouse VS Benavidez 2 and K.O's Lawler early in the first.
Pettis puts Melendez away with a headkick in round 1.

I do think Schaub has overrated BJJ. The only reason I picked him by sub is because I believe Browne will gas, and that I don't think Schaub has the K.O power to put him away.
On another note I don't think Werdum really made an attempt to sub Browne at all in that fight.

I think Schaub and Browne are both grossly overrated.

I'm pretty sure Schaub is going to die tonight if Travis Browne's body can stay intact for a round.

Chael Sonnen owning ESPN sportcenter with his UFC 181 breakdown (and a little more)! Dude was born to sit in front of a camera ... this is precious!

If Chael can deliver just the right dosage of crazy he'll be a star on ESPN. He needs to avoid being uncontrollable and making all the other anchors uncomfortable.
