Welp no surprises there.

Yair is a monster. RIP BJ Penn. Stupid to take that fight.

BJ clearly wasn't motivated.

That was a destruction, he was just teeing off with the kicks! Yair was very mobile and BJ couldn't live with it. I'd be amazed if we saw BJ Penn fighting again.

That'll be a good win for Mousasi and hopefully put him in line for a title shot.

Bisping's out till May apparently, so I have a feeling we could be seeing another interim title being thrown into the division. Hope not like.

Romero probably deserves the shot first though as he's beat Jacare and Weidman. I think I'd do Bisping vs Romero for the title, but now you've got Weidman vs Mousasi booked so you could always rebook Rockhold vs Jacare too, though I think I'd have given Weidman a warm up match first after his last 2 fights. Probably makes more sense for Jacare to be taking a big fight rather than that Boetsch fight at 208 as well.

I dunno, it's hard to figure out who deserves what at the top of the middleweights, it's all pretty close. I can't see Bisping staying up there much longer though.
 
Whittaker will get a crack at one of those top guys aswell. And im guessing the ufc will be keen to throw nick diaz back into the mix aswell with a big drawing fight
 
That bellator card was boring as all hell apart from paul daleys highlight reel ko. Kinda glad tito did that to chael, hopefully chael joins him in retirement. Only 1 man took that fight seriously

Yep, Bellator was so stale apart from that Paul Daley KO. Shame he ruined his shot in the UFC back in the day.

Some nice fights this weekend - Arlovski vs Ngannou and Cowboy vs Masvidal should be good fights. The latter especially.

I think we could be seeing the end of Andrei Arlovski this weekend. I fear for his health getting in the octagon with Ngannou, especially with his chin.

Bookies offering 3/1 on an Arlovski win, 2/9 Ngannou. Surprised that a Masvidal win over Cowboy is just 6/5, I was planning on placing some sort of bet on Jorge but i can't really see much value anywhere. Cowboy is 8/13.
 
Strange fight the Masvidal vs Cerrone one, think Herb Dean stopped it at the end of the first and bottled it. Cerrone should never have been sent out for that second round IMO. Ngannou is terrifying, very impressed with Shevchenko again.

Can anyone sort that picks league out again? Think it's reset or something for the start of the year. @803 Toffee @kithnou @Little Ralphy @Moomin
 
I was so happy seeing Cowboy get KOd. Great performance from Masvidal that though, probably should've been a first round KO too. Herb made a mess of it I think, getting flashbacks to Bisping vs Silva.

He defo stopped it, and then Stann tried to make out like he jumped in after the bell. I was surprised his corner let him come back out, you could tell he wasn't there.

Who does Ngannou fight next? Think it'll have to be big or they'll struggle to match him up.
