Has anyone thought about what happens to Anthony if Sergio were to get KTFO or loses in any fashion?

@lopati I was actually thinking that as I made my picks. What if Sergio gets literally stretchered out?  Yeah yeah I know it's a horrible thought, but if you're the UFC you actually do need to think of this ****.  I think it's a little weird they schedule Anthony and Sergio on the same card.  And if memory serves me correctly it's the second time they've done it.

Looks like they haven't fought on the same UFC before.  Not sure which pair of brothers I'm thinking of, but I think they specifically were like "we don't want to do this ever again."

I am wondering how a Sergio loss would effect Anthony. 

I don't think there is anything wrong with that line of thinking @Gregory. Would make that Co-Main interesting. If Sergio blew his knee out, psychologically thst would have to mess with Anthony.

Joe Lauzon said it affected him negatively when Dan fought on the same card.

In my opinion Samman is on a free roll.  he is not getting cut tonight no matter what. Don't see UFC doing that considering all he has gone through.  So he may just lay it all on the line.

It all depends. My brother and I fought in a few tournaments together and we always liked having the support. Of course, you'd need an objective source to view our win/loss record when we competed together and alone. My only two losses in kickboxing came when he competed before me. But then again those were my first two fights then I went on a mad run son!

Not sure why I took Collard. Possibly due to him taking a horrific beating from Holloway for the majority of 3 rounds before finally succumbing to death.

Skelli, if you don't mind my asking is he younger or older?
