Really want to see Till win this but my mind is telling me Woodley will control the pace and win a lackluster decision. The way Till couldn't pull the triiger against Wonderboy was very telling IMO. He says it will be different this time and that Woodley isn't tricky at setting traps like Thompson but I think he's just talking. Woodley has the take down and a sledgehammer right so why wouldn't Till be as cautious if not more. Wonderboy doesn't have 1 punch KO power per se. And we all know how Woodley doesn't care how he gets a W. The height advantage and reach is the X to me. If Till will engage this could be FOTN if not the boo birds will be out by the 2nd.

The biggest thing here is Till making Championship weight and it sounds like he is fully determined to do it.

Some beach!! Yair is out! Losing this fight is a big hit to this card. PPV numbers will drop IMO

Would love to see him do it. Put him against the fence ala Nate Marquardt.
True...making weight is mandatory. That extra pound for the belt is huge to someone who's absolutely draining themselves to make the limit.

Just saw the news. Wonder if the UFC will cut him again, and who steps in for Yair on two weeks notice. No one wants to fight Zabit, and for good reason as he is an animal.

Huge fan of both guys btw and would love to see it but I can see why they don't wanna make this fight.

Interesting that Price is a dog again. Suarez is the real deal. Jimmie Rivera should bounce back, but that loss was shocking.

As long as her striking keeps coming along think Suarez is the next champ. just guessed wrong checked low kicked landed flushed but was crazy watching, agree but just feel like Dodson gonna jab and backpaddle though can see jimme having to chase .

Hard to find something to bet here. Shev and Zabit smoke their opponents. Suarez and Andrade will ragdoll Esparza and group. Maybe I’ll just parlay these 4 and swallow the reduced juice. Just can’t see any of them losing. Esparza and group are good fighters fighting against the 2 women in their divisions who are the worst matchups style wise imaginable. Feel sorry for them.
Main event is sooo tough to call.
