Dollaway should be able to get back on the horse with this one.

Dollaway should take this easy, however Barroso likes to slow the world down,and can clinch on the fence for 15 min. I hope the Doberman takes this, but it all depends on the weight cut in my opinion.

PS. Barroso better be cut with a loss.... Or drop to LHW and learn to throw a punch.

Barroso dropping to middleweight? He didn't seem too small at LHW but that's just me. Wonder if he'll be as boring still.

Good God, 205 is losing guys at an alarming rate.

A 4th loss in a row would not be good for Dolloway.

UFC has actually been signing a lot of heavyweights but 205 is a train wreck. They desperately need to sign more guys there. They should be throwing contracts at guys like Stephan Puetz. Also sucks for them that Liam McGeary will probably be tied down in Bellator for years.

@PilloryChoke Yeah, they've done an amazing job with the heavyweight signings lately. I hope they do the same with the light heavies soon. There are plenty of good guys they could sign up to add depth.They definitely nee to try and sign Puetz. They should've signed Maxim Grishin a long time ago, but whoever wins the Akhmat tournament finals should get signed. Aspera HW champ Junior Albini will most likely be fighting at 205 in the future.Shooto Brazil HW champ Caio Alencar dropped to 205 in his last fight. Tomasz Narkun, Mikhail Mokhnatkin, Joachim Christensen, Saparbek Safarov, Paul Craig are all guys they could sign in the near future. After a few more wins you also have guys like Evgeny Egemberdiev, Alan Baudot, Batraz Agnaev, Dominick Reyes, Michael Quintero, Cha Hanekom, Leonardo Silva, you get the idea.

Sorry about such a long post, I'm just tire of seeing my favorite division continue to be **** in the UFC when there is some talent out there...

Speaking of tournaments, the UFC should have some just like Bellator did. This will add more fighters and show who can hang in there. Of course it will never happen, though.

Barroso isn't going to 185. Dollaway is moving up to 205.

in case y'all didn't realize that yet

dollaway should have the cardio and speed advantage, but barroso has the edge in power. I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that cb's td's fail him and he gets kept moving backwards the whole fight.

Didn't realize this was at 205 until I watched the weigh ins, I wonder if it'll be a permanent move for C.B. It's been interesting seeing the middleweights who have been around for a while try their hand at light heavy. Boetsch, Herman, Lawlor, and now Dollaway.

Gee, I wonder what's up with CB? Dana tweeted a text from Cowboy saying that he would fight Barroso tomorrow.

CB hurt his back in an elevator accident so the fight is off the card, now 10 fights going forward.

Is this the weirdest fight scratch ever?

Well that sucks but considering Faber, Werdum, Brad Tavares, and Yancy Medeiros also all got stuck in an elevator, the loss of CB can be considered the least of the losses that could've happened as far as good fights go. Face it, Barroso is NEVER in a good fight.
