If you know anything about the sport, you wouldn't even want to see this fight.  Saying that you would never wanna see Brock Leznar fight anyone either.

Definitely deserves better treatment. He's won 12 of his last 13. But getting smoked by Rockhold was a bad look...pretty sure weidman would give him the same treatment. His TD doesn't hold up.

I do find it kinda hard to believe that weeks out, Montel Jackson is the -145 favorite. Only slightly... but still.

I don't particularly mind the fight for Branch, should be easy so long as he doesn't just box with Jared.

That TDD needs to be exploited. After that, I'm sure he'll get a ranked guy.

There still 3 good fight with Cormier-Lewis, Weidman-Souza & Brunson-Adesanya but the card was better with Poirier-Diaz, Weidman-Rockhold and Souza-Branch

@ImperatorFishrat

What makes you think Weidman would do the same?  Weidman pretty much had the same luck as Branch did with his take downs, except Branch did better on the feet in terms of actually hurting Luke.  Also Luke destroy Weidman just as easily on the ground as Branch.  So not sure what makes you think Wiedman would give Branch the same treatment. Wiedman is not close to the same level of grappling as Luke. Striking, I think Branch prob beats wiedman, he bigger and has more power.

Weidman is as good or better a grappler than Rockhold, he's just nowhere near as good with his transitions and BJJ generally. Weidman can take  a beating, too. Branch would have to really pull of something special to get weidman out of there before he gassed ( branch has bad cardio issues)  and got taken down and beaten to a pulp.
