Anyone heard the phrase, 'matchups make fights not fighters'?

I'd like to see McGregor face Swanson next. I reckon he's still a couple of big fights away from being a safe bet, but he's looking pretty solid so far. Good match of styles too IMO.

[Don1]

Isn't Swanson #2 or 3 at the moment? That's a big enough jump for the other fighters to be a trifle upset...

McGregors got Poirier.

This should be an awesome fight, very tough to call

Weidman gets Belfort in Vegas. Vitor must be finishing his TRT and steroid cycle soon

[Don1]

Shame, I would have liked to see 'Chessus' take on Souza...

Me too, chance I may be out on Vegas that weekend as well...

[GregK2]

Cormier Jones is still a great fight, i'm looking forward to it.

Same here, but I think DC will have a real problem with Jones' range and will be studying Jones vs Belfort tape very closely.

Not trying to look past DC or dismiss his chances, but jones vs Gustafssen is still the fight I'm itching to see.

Agree that Cormier/Jones will be a good fight, its just not the fight I was hoping to see

I really like JJ but Gustaffson challenged him in a way I haven't seen before and was looking forward to seeing if it was a one off

[BRMMA]

I personally am more excited by Jones fighting Cormier than i was for the Gus rematch, think it'll be a great fight

Little Nog was robbe........ aaaaah, who am I kidding? Rumble is a BEAST.

[g4ry13]

Oh I fell asleep during Main Event. Johnson is really impressive though, he's big for that division.

They were hard punches, accurate too

The bad blood between Cormier and Jones actually seems believable, UFC 178 should be brilliant

I picked up another win on Saturday and claimed the Impact Fight UK amateur title, feeling a little broken today though after getting stuck in a tight Kimura. will post the video up once it's released
