Cote has a great chin, I don't see him getting finished.

I haven't really been following his fights much but he always seems a little so who knows.
Guida, Nelson and Hunt have been KO'd so I wouldn't be surprised

Chris Weidman willing to fight Jones, but not Hendricks:

" But if I had to say right now, then yeah that's the fight I want. I want to fight the best guys in the world. It's not like I'm calling out Jon Jones, but I want the toughest competition and I'd want to fight the people that other people think I can't beat. I don't even think that I'd entertain that (Johny Hendricks fight). Not that he's not good or anything like that, but it just doesn't make any sense to talk about it now. Hendricks hasn't defended his belt yet, and I have more people to fight in my weight class. On top of that, I would never call out a guy who's smaller than me. I'm a lot bigger than him, I think. I know he walks around heavy, but I'd feel like I'd have a huge advantage in that fight, so I'm not calling him out. Jon Jones is different. He's taller than me, he's bigger than me, so that's a different story. That would be more of a test for me than Johny Hendricks."

Weidman is bigger, stronger, wrestling is about equal (although Weidman gets the edge because of his size and strength), better striker, and better BJJ. Hendricks would get finished.

Reminder that tonight is a pretty good Fight Night Card on FS1, main event should be really good

Curran/Pitbull II will be Kongo/Lavar could be 15 minutes of Kongo cage stalling. I hope Kongo decides to stand and trade because this fight will be fireworks if he does. Don't really care for the other two fights.

You call that star power. No knock against Pitbull and Curran.

Comparison of the 2 cards going head to head. I think the UFC card is pretty easily better, what do you guys think?

 

[123456789]

49-46 sounds about right, to me. Huge fight, if they can get licensed in NYC.

That Bellator card looks really good(by Bellator standards).

Who yall got tonight? I just have a feeling Cerrone takes it...I dunno....he has the striking advantage....Jim's bjj/wrestling advantage will probably be negated b/c he'll probably wanna be exciting in his home state as a main eventer. I got a feeling Cerrone stops him midway.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Yeah, the ufc card is better. The Bellator card has a great main event, but im not really checking for the other fights.
