Uhh, what? This is one of the more stacked cards they have had in a while

I'm in my phone so I'm way too lazy to type it all out. But pretty much every fight on the main card has the potential to be great.

Haven't watched UFC in a year or two, but thinking about buying this PPV...and then being incredibly disappointed with my decision shortly after the event is over and never watching MMA again.

I guess. I see TUF guys who've shown up since I was last paying attention, Lauzon, Leites, I always liked Tim Boesch, Thiago Alves is meh. I'll check it out just to see the main event, maybe someone will make an impression.

Chris Weidman-Vitor Belfort off, Ronda Rousey-Cat Zingano is UFC 184 headliner | MMAjunkie

MMAjunkie has learned from several sources close to the promotion that Weidman has suffered an injury in training and has been forced to withdraw from the contest. The sources all spoke on the condition of anonymity because none of them were authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

Joe Lauzon is the all time leader for UFC fight bonuses because he makes every single fight he is in exciting.

He was on TUF 7+ years ago(afterKOing his coach in his UFC debut!). If that's the last time you watched MMA I'm not sure what current top fighter it is that could possibly get you excited.


edit: As for Fedor's post.....fuck.

I would imagine you would have to be in order to come in that heavy. It's either that or you are seriously unprofessional and just don't give a shit. Gastelum doesn't come across as that kind of guy

I meant Weidman and Vitor.

There was a report from earlier today that Kelvin fucked up his cut royally and was in the hospital. Like the brass was aware before hand that he wasn't going to make weight. I'd wager he would have been a lot closer if the cut hadn't been abandoned in advance like that.

Kelvin Gastelum wont make weight for UFC 183 fight with Tyron Woodley (Updated) - Bloody Elbow

I don't even consider Lauzon a TUF alum at this point, he's obviously legit. I meant the other guys toward the top of the card. As to the rest, Leites was never great, Alves is Alves, and while I like Boesch when he's kneeing people like a savage I can't recall his last great fight. Like I said I haven't watched much in the last year, so maybe the new guys will hook me. I was just really excited until I looked at the card, heh.

What the fuck man? How the hell do you come in NINE pounds overweight? That is not even close.

And I really wish I were surprised about the injury to Weidman, but yeah...here we go again.

It sometimes happens when someone starts the weight cut, realizes they won't make it and give up.

MMA-TV might be down for tonight. It was being ddos'd earlier and now he's having problems with the server.
