I think Barao will win, and I think he has a better record than Dillashaw. That's if I correctly understood ufc.com

Did you watch their fight, it was completely one-sided? Barao has an insanely good record at 34-1, in fact, Dillashaw was his first loss in 9 years. Dillashaw completely out-fought and exclusively picked Barao apart for 5 rounds straight, and was still able to finish him in the 5th.

It is considered one of the biggest upsets the UFC has seen, the odds were something like 8-1. After watching the first fight, I don't think Dillashaw will lose in the rematch.

If you haven't seen it already, it's on YouTube as a free fight.

Any thoughts on Rousey's 34 second knockout tonight?

Rousey's fight was crazy. I honestly thought Bethe would put up some sort of fight.

It was pretty obvious she had no chance. She'd never fought any top 10 ranked fighter and couldn't finish a low ranked one.

Veizo wrote Thought UFC 189 was awesome I had McDonald winning unfortunately he couldn't pull it off as you said that last shot was on the money and for Mendes vs McGregor I thought it was boring Mendes didn't take advantage of the opportunities he was given. Also I wanted Bermudez to beat Jeremy Stephens it was a hell of a fight I actually met Bermudez Because I was staying at the MgM for a couple of days and saw him during the weigh in he is coolass dude. Regardless I heard it was like the most viewed ufc event so far so good for the organizations I believe Jose Aldo will beat McGregor easily

I was really routing for Rory. That dude is an animal, but proved to be human. But I have to give it Lawler, he came out in the 5th round with that champion killer instinct. Just look at how aggressive he was, and we're talking the 5th round! That was such a good fight.

Chad did great for what he did do, he was just too exhausted. If he had a full camp he would've dominated the whole fight, I mean, he went 5 rounds at a fast pace with Aldo; who is one of the fastest guys in the UFC. I think Chad would win easily given he trains thoroughly.

Bermudez is a great fighter! Just hasn't had the best luck with injuries. I haven't seen much of Stephens, but he's a great fighter!

Also did you watch the fights yesterday? I didn't watch any of the prelims but Wonderboy is a beast! He's on another level. His movement is just unpredictable. I think he will be a real threat soon.

I disagree. I don't think Chad would have "dominated the whole fight" against Conor at all. Do I think Chad could have done better with more training? Yes, I do. But you also need to consider that Conor had been training months for Aldo who is a completely different style of fighter to Chad. That's not easy at all. Also, I feel as though you don't realise how good Conor's stand-up actually is, his stand-up is phenomenal. In my opinion, Chad with full training would only be able to keep Conor on the ground for longer than he did in the actual fight. When it comes to them both standing, Conor would do the same, pick him apart and then eventually finish the fight.

Opinions on Johnson vs. Dodson 2?

I'm going with Johnson on this one, hopefully I'm right, ha.

Dodson can catch him at any time, and he did knock him down several times in their first fight, plus, he's bigger. But then again, Johnson simply put him away in the championship rounds. At that point, Dodson was just holding on.

I honestly don't know if it will play out the same way.

I do realize how good Conor's standup is, it's something else. But I can't help but think Chad would've done much better if he actually trained to fight Conor, let alone trained at all. He was standing in front of him instead of applying pressure to the ground where he thrived when he actually managed to take him down.
