Thanks Byron, had a link the other day but it got removed. Will watch that later.

All about Diego tonight, yes yes yes.

[Marky147]

Cheers for the link, will watch that tomorrow.

Thinking of punting it up properly tonight, and going with -

Sanchez - Lawler - Woodley

[Marky147]

How did Henderson manage that

[AdamM]

after being relentlessly badgered by Tommy Toe Hold, I finally got signed up for fantasy MMA at Kountermove.
If anyone fancies doing the same, would you PM me your name and email address so I can invite/challenge you and get some free game credit for it.

Also, there's a 25% sign up bonus using the code TTHS

well, that was a bit of a shocker and the P4P hype train building a head of steam around Barao may have been derailed a bit.
Not a fan of Dillashaw having to fight an immediate rematch. Fight was in no way close of controversial, so Barao should have to get in line IMO.

Light Heavyweights are definitely on notice that DC is in town. Assume he'll fight either Rashad or Rumble next, given that Jones v Gus is already booked. No chance of him waiting for the winner.

Really enjoying Robbie Lawler's resurgence too.

Why is there no chance of him waiting for the winner? He's already said that's what he'll do.

[AdamM]

Dana was very insistent in the scrum that he'd want him to take another fight while Jones v Gus II happens.
That's not likely to be till late autumn so no way DC will sit put till the end of the year waiting for the winner.

JJ v Gus slated for Aug 30. As it happens, I agree, cos at that rate it'd be 2015 before DC fights the winner.

[AdamM]

yeah, I thought August, but I looked at the announced events and couldn't see where they'd slot it, which is where I got Autumn from.

Either way, If Jones gets past Gus (which I think is touch and go) DC will be a real test for either guy.
He threw Hendo about like he was a Bantam weight

[Marky147]

Fell asleep before the Dillashaw fight on Saturday, and just watched it now :O

Incred fight, and he was just a different gravy there!

Although I'm not sure I would call it a hype train, when the guy hasn't been beaten for about 10 years...

Agree about Cormier, that was hugely impressive, and can't say that I've ever seen that happen before, and I had actually backed Hendo to land a haymaker.

Lawler fight was good, and Elllenberger almost looks like he is only half interested when fighting?

[AdamM]

sorry, yeah, don't mean to undermine Barao's record.
I just mean there was a huge amount of hyperbole about Barao's place on the P4P list.

I hope it kicks him on to another gear, as I am a fan

I think that for a lot of them it would be true, but I think he is one of the few who deserve all the hype.

A mate of mine reckons that Barao had underestimated Dillashaw, so possibly wasn't as fit as he should have been, and would win the rematch.

I'm not so sure myself, and am more inclined to think that TJ is just the real deal.

Great for the division, whatever happens.

[craigbetts]

I really liked TJ's performance, a lot of credit surely goes to Duane Ludwig! That camp/gym is insane.

As for DC, well he rag dolled an opponent who albeit a hero is past it, I for one was expecting him to say enough is enough post fight, but no Hendo says he loves the game. Rogan said 'I've loved calling your fights' which means, he's give up and how many fights are left waiting for up and comers to walk onto a Hendo haymaker that happens once a leap year. Harsh, but true.
