Did de Lima miss weight by 4 lbs? How big is he if he can't make 205. He could realistically outweigh some Heavyweights.

Yeah, he might be better as a HW, those mid-tier big LHWs can make fast HWs

He looked a little soft at the official weigh ins as well, must have had a rough cut. He's never missed weight in UFC so my guess is the altitude in Denver may have been a factor in that.

Arlovski should not be that big of an underdog. The guy he is fighting does have 4 ko's to his name in the ufc but nobody even close to Arlovski skillset. Female BW's and Male HW's are where the biggest upsets occur.

Arlovski has a chin made of wet paper so that can never be ignored.

About De Lima,he fought in TUF Brazil HW season and weighed 235,so I would assume that's about his walk around weight.

I really hope N'Gannou gets the win tonight for the sake of the heavyweight division, we need new blood in this very shallow division.

I kind of have this matchup one of my favourite fighters against the one real prospect in the division. I want ngannou to be a contender but I don't want arlovski to go out on this low. I don't think the odds are right though. Arlovski may have a bad chin but he is also the better striker and grappler. But ngannou is such a freak physically. I expect arlovski to lose this but was arlovski at those odds lol

I'll take that semi-perf. Nice D'Arce man, knew he was underrated in this match.

Good fight and Cottrell showed enough imo to get a 3rd fight.
Terrible callout

Why a terrible call out? I like when a guy wants a rematch. Better than that milquetoast ******** about saying they're just glad to be there.

I get what you mean, but calling out a bigger name than that for him would be silly for him. I thought it was dumb for them to even ask him that imo. He was just involved in a pink slip fight.

Pantoja might have stolen the round, could be 1-1, but could be 2-0 Shelton He's so impressive, such a high ceiling too

I got it 2-0 Pantoja. Dominant positions for significant portions of the round and fighting to a near draw the rest of the time.
