Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. PPV main card touches down at 10pm.
Not expecting a terribly competitive main event, but the co-main should be fun and the rest of the main card has some good stuff going on.

Faber is one of the most excuse-filled fighters in UFC history. Granted, he was all class in defeat last night, but he immediately started selling his teammates as being able to beat Cruz. Cruz's rivalry is with Team Alpha Male, not Faber. He'll keep it going until he beats the whole team. He basically already has.

I don't think he's a guy that puts rivalries to bed easily. You can see even after the fight. He was very hesitant to even touch Faber. Faber has always said as much, but Cruz dislikes Faber much more strongly than Faber dislikes Cruz.

I'd like to see Bisping vs. Weidman at MSG in November. If not that, then Jacare.
Let Rockhold get another win or 2 and if by some craziness Bisping is still champ the trilogy fight would have time to build hype.
Wouldn't hate an immediate rematch, although there are too many of those these days.

People keep getting enamoured by Hendo's wins over fighters that are either slow enough to get hit by him (Shogun, Boetsch) or stupid enough to get hit by him (Lombard).
Bisping is neither.
Hendo plugging along is pretty damn impressive, don't get me wrong, but seriously, look at his fights. First of all in his wins over Shogun and Lombard he could've easily lost, just depending on if the ref wanted to stop the fight or not. When Lombard was in his guard he was OUT, staring into the light, they were both basically exactly like both the Vitor fights except the ref didn't jump in and Dan could recover (he's always had amazing recovery). So yeah, even in his wins he was basically out both times and this time the ref gave him a moment. That doesn't mean I'm claiming he should've lost the fights, just that he doesn't have the ability to not get hit anymore. He's SLOOOOWWW!
Secondly, if a fighter has just regular speed and a smidgen of fight IQ, Dan can't hit him with anything. Again, not taking anything away from Hendo, he's a legend, but Bisping is way too fast, crisp, smart and post-traumatized from their last encounter to get hit by Dan. He'd pick him apart and most likely end him in the championship rounds.

a) Bisping is too fast
b) Bisping's cardio edge
c) Bisping's footwork edge
d) Hendo's too predictable
I would certainly not put it past Hendo to H-bomb the **** out of Bisping again.

Bisping has the memory of it (or more likely the memory of the thousands of GIFs, memes, highlights, etc) living in him. He'll be more cautious of it.
Also, Bisping, I think has actually got better since that fight while as Hendo is in the decomposing stage of his career.
