Boo. was looking forward to that. Demetrious Johnson v Chris Cariaso is now the main event. Disappointed but it happens in the fight game.

It's happening way too much at the moment

I just don't know what they do about it though

Put rules in demanding lighter training when so close to the fight? I'm not sure the fighters would be happy with that

It does happen a lot. The training they do is rigorous and physical. I don't think there is much they can do about it.

You need your preparation to be done properly. No point in having half assed sparring sessions that won't prepare you for a big fight.

Unfortunately bodies are not invincible so just got to hope it doesn't happen as opposed to trying to avoid it.

You know what? Let em do drugs

Seriously, how often were guys injured in training during PRIDE?

They'd take it easy then gass themselves to the gills for the actual fight

Chael had it right all along

Kidding of course

More fights now, though, don't forget. Law of averages really.

Main events are twice as often plus Fight Nights, "UFC Ireland/Germany" etc.

Some big fights tonight, great card. Pettis to beat Melendez and Hendricks to wrestle Lawler IMO. Should be great fights.

Have not watched UFC for a while but getting BT in the next few weeks. Cormier v Jones is going to be a cracker next month

You asked for this to be opened, I have opened it and you're not involved.

Can't wait for Melendez/Pettis, Fight of the Year candidate written all over it.

Sorry mate I was off, nice one.

That could be epic and could go either way. I'm hoping Cormier ragdolls Jones, open it up a bit.

Who you got in this one? Should be amazing. Do you think Melendez will just try and wrestle Pettis to a Decision? It'll be interesting to see PEttis standup once Melendez throws in a few take down attempts. I think Pettis will take him though, catch him with a big kick.

Hendricks and Lawler should be good as well, the last fight was back and forth, although I feel Lawler missed his chance really.

Think Melendez will stand in front of him and throw, similar to the Sanchez fight, (the best fight I've ever seen), apart from obviously the opponent being a different fighter. Can't see it hitting the ground at all. Gonna be a war either way. Yeah agreed, Hendricks will take it this time. Won't be anywhere near as close, either.

few knockouts tonight, think Pettis will try and leg kick him to death, Melendez will try and take the kicks and try and take his head off, will be a good fight, reckon Pettis will take this one. Can see a knockout in the Hendricks and Lawler fight this time, give it to Hendricks . Travis brown win by k.o. Duffee by k.o. Ferguson by k.o.

Browne/Schaub is such a mismatch.

gonna watch the event now fell asleep pissed last night, seen the results and sounds like i'm going to enjoy it.

Anyway, who is your favourite fighter nowadays then lads? I can't help but get caught up in the hype around Conor Mcgregor, hes got everything for me.
