My main point there was that if you're the 145 lb champion then you should be able to make 155 lbs with one weeks notice.Wouldn't be surprised if this is Holloway's last fight at 145.
disagree he accepted Sunday night, flew out Monday realistically had three days to cut weight, most reports had him over 185 at that point. Majority of all fighters cut 30-40 but three days to do it don't that happening. Also he didn't fail the weight cut or get hospitalized the commission stopped him and told UFC it wouldn't sanction him to fight cuting that much in 3 days.

Hernandez will murder Cowboy Cerrone! I think that will be a mauling

Cerrone vs. Hernandez is an awesome matchup. Cowboy looked more determined than ever in his last fight and could be dangerous here.

Mike Perry is no Hernandez. This kid is a gym rat. Cerrone is always dangerous but I would roll heavy on Hernandez and I would expect him to be the favorite. 

I'm so excited for tonight. Some interesting line movements and an even a better card. 

Let's get this bag!

like the bless express. Ortega was losing all his fights for a reason. Think it will be a standup and Frankie was getting his shots in easy , and Holloway is big like Brian so can't see him dropping him like frankie

I'm interested in that Eryk Anders fight! I think he can knock him out but the line movement hasn't been in his favor. 

Elias Theodorou  and the people below are all Canadians, So they will have the crowd. 

Brad Katona 

Chad Laprise 

Hakeem Dawodu 

Olivier Aubin-Mercier

Sometimes you just know.

This sport is for the committed. And the athletes always shine that have the work ethic. But anyone can get knocked out or submitted so that's what makes it the fight game.

Not always a factor, just look at how most of the Australian fighters did last week in their home country.

You are correct. I was just sharing. Sometimes UFC gives winnable fights for the home fighters.
