I reckon Aldo's getting knocked out
I agree, and that is coming from a long time Aldo fan. I don't see how this weight cut is going to help him, and Marlon is a tough fight.

I really hope he can pull this off, but I don't think this goes well for him. I would have much rather seen him go up to lightweight instead of depleting himself like this. Is he going to be able to take shots?

Matt Brown vs. Saunders on the bottom of the prelims?
I hope that's not bout order.
I hate how the UFC treats its veterans.

That said this is a good card, I'll have to watch.
Marlon vs. Jose is unmissable, and GDR is a live dog vs. Nunes AFAIC

Yeah the durability is what I was thinking. Colby stood in the pocket and traded with Robbie Lawler, who is a better striker than Usman.
RDA too - some of the body shots Colby took in that fight in particular were brutal. I think RDA fought well and stuck to a very sound game plan in which he planned to allow Colby to do what Colby does, but make him pay for it. And it was only Colby's then unknown resilience that wrecked the plan.

Want Covington to win but I reckon Marty Juiceman will. Nunes should wreck ramdemine and max has his work cut out for him with Volk
Good ass card with weekend.

time stamped and I'm rooting for Colby because of his new hat.
