Weidman's only chance of winning that fight, and the only thing he even came remotely close to landing, were those hail mary punches. As such, I find it very strange that Tavares didn't neutralize Weidman's striking by shooting his own takedowns, which he no doubt would have landed given the fact that Weidman's legs had been cut out from beneath him.

The dominance is hyped, he won the belt to a DQ then defended it in 2 tight split decisions and against a injured TJ who just wanted a payday.

Weidman almost won (if not) with no legs, what a heart.
Tavares should be ashamed.

It's the most competetive division. The margins are thin.

I'm so tempted betting Magny at +430 but I probably shouldn't. I'm like a horse with a carrot in front of me when I see **** like that.

Coming back from such a brutal injury and coming out of the fight without re-injuring yourself or getting finished is already a huge moral victory for Weidman. 

If Chris was still in prime and had not received so much damage, he would still be a contender, taking into account that there are few high level wrestlers in MW and that the ground game many Middlweight fighters are sprawl and pray for the end of the round or that the referee call for stands when they are taken to the ground. The finish of Weidman career was fighting Dominick Reyes in LHW when he was still in the Top 5 of the MW and with a couple of victories he could get a title shot.

Imo Munhoz looked the best he ever has in his last fight. Hence I have chosen to disregard his age here which would be the only knock on him here. Stylistically it's a good matchup for him as well all things told.
If Vera comes out guns blazing and in particular with combinations to the head over legkicks I think he'll probably win though.

Chito's biggest flaw is he always starts slow and leaves the door open for his opponents to take rounds from him

He also kicks a lot and Munhoz can hang with anyone in the world in bantmaweight in a pure lowkicking battle. Munhoz is very hittable to the face though because of how much he stalks people and with limited head movement.
I'm really interested in this one.
