Anders food poisoning or something, he been puking since first post weigh in meal.

Sucks for Chris because this might be his last fight and it was in MSG.
Not a fan of Chris much myself but it would be cool to go out win or loss in NY.
I'm surprised they didn't give him another opponent.

was very last second, didn't pull out until right before prelims started
Chris might not have wanted another fighter and the only other 185 fight was Bo Nickel vs Paul Craig
UFC putting to many light fighters and different weight classes on cards makes it harder to swap out for replacement fighters

There are a lot of gyms in the NYC/NJ area. I'm sure they could have found someone who would fight up a weight for a shot to get into the UFC, but as you said, maybe Chris didn't want it. If this is his last fight, I'm sure he would've preferred to do it in NYC.

This fight boils down to whether Diniz can grapple at all, because if not Tybura will win easy by finish or onesided decision. I expect Tybura to try to take him down right away. Tybura also has pretty good boxing on the feet, he can hold his own, and has KO power. Diniz needs a knockout to win, he’s not winning a decision with all the grappling I’m expecting from Tybura.

I would still give the round to the new guy
Tybura just layed and rested after getting his ass rocked and dropped and beaten.

He hasn't.
Yeah I can see that, I just wanted to use a correct English grammar. If you say you had no idea, in the past tense, then the thing you had no idea about should also be in past tense even it hasn't happened yet.
