Emmett never had a chance. Short-notice on top of it and now weight-cutting issues. Easiest pick of 2017.

How has this event not sold out?

People from Winnipeg don't deserve another UFC if this quality card does not sellout.

So what the hell happened to this Menga guy?Did he ever even weigh in?

Edit: ok so he got down to 131 and the doctors didn't allow him to cut anymore weight,then Tim declined to fight him.

Two rounds in the books for Mein.  Silva can't seem to win tonight whether he is on the ground or standing up.

Erick playing cautious looks like a bum. His only chance of winning fights is his all or nothing attitude that got him knocked out a lot lately. I think he actually regressed skillwise.

@vazio

And to think at one point people pegged Erick Silva as being a potential title contender.  Guy hasn't even come close to that.

Finally Mein looking normal again.He fought like he was mentally in it and the version of Mein that we seen since he came back,the walk around at 170 Mein, was frail and sickly looking.He's obviously not doing that anymore,he looked confident again and physically filled out.

First win since 2014 for Mein.  Nice to see him win again, but Silva looked like he gave up after round 1.

No way I'd have believed you if you told me these 1st 2 fights would be this bad. Oops. Di Chirico saved that one.

Di Chirico did a great job staying composed and eventually trapping him against the cage.

Hopefully that's it for Bamgbose in the UFC, one of the worst fighters on the roster.
