As much as I like Ross Pearson, I think Iaquinta is a tough night for him, and I'm not sure I have him as favourite.

Bisping a 3/1 dog against Rockhold.
What do others think?

The Kennedy performance was well below par, after a long time out and an eye injury that could have cost him his sight, never mind his career.
I think this is a pretty close fight, and Bisping is perfectly capable of winning it.

Worth a bet?

Might be the smallest smidge of value but it's not a great fight for Bisping really. Rockhold a worthy favourite but I'll still get my Bisping nerves when watching and will be cheering him (to victory, hopefully).

We're not agreeing on much. Why is it a tough night for him? Close fight but Pearson worthy small favourite. I imagine the fight will take place solely on the feet and Pearson out scores him.

Actually, looking over his record, I'm not sure why Iaquinta is better in my mind than he is on paper.
It was a gut feeling, but looking at the respective records, Pearson should be a solid favourite.
Should be a good fight.

I've gone for a double on your Palelei tip (anytime, rather than R1) and Bisping.

3/1 in a main event is rare as rocking horse shit too.
Last time I remember getting those odds was when Randy Couture came out of retirement and went on a short tear in the HW division
won a few pennies on that little streak

Dillashaw? Anyone vs Jones? Most vs Aldo? There's loads.

[AdamM]

Never fancied any of those had a shot though
I was sure Randy was going to beat Tim Sylvia and Gabe Gonzaga.

Bet you won't get 3/1 on Gustaffson next time

Back to Bisping, he must know he's running out of time. If he doesn't beat Rockhold, he at least has to make it highly competitive. If he does get stopped in the 1st, as Rockhold is predicting, the game might be up for Mike. Come on Bisping, lets have it.

Watching weigh-ins, the kilos are doing my head in. Half the fighters don't even know if they've made weight!

I was wrong about Bisping (which is where I put my money) but right about Iaquinta (where I didn't)

any idea what's left on Bisping's contarct? I know he's a good company boy and Dana loves him, but he's going to have to start putting some wins together or he might find himself out of a job come renegotiation time.

Wins a few, then loses when he fights the top boys...

Seem to recall Dana's general rule is they go after losing 3 on the spin, unless he doesn't like them.

Pretty sure while Bisping is still gatekeeping, and printing cash, he'll be ok.

Iaquinta was good to watch, so looking forward to seeing him again.

Bad night for our boys though

Big one on Saturday!

Given we've seen more of Cormier recently, I was giving him a decent chance against Jones.

Watched a show on BT Sport, that went through Jones' fights, and now I have gone the other way completely.

[scotty2hatty]

Easy.

Double standards Dana...

Nick Diaz tests positive for marijuana, and gets a 12 month ban.

Jon Jones tests positive for cocaine, and gets a public message of support from Dana.

If Dana's getting paid, it's all gravy

[scotty2hatty]

Beyond double standards, it's shockingly bad from the UFC.
