I'd like to see Dariush take Tony out. I am pretty confident Chandler will get a stoppage against Olivera. Barbosa/Burgos should be really good.

37. Maybe not shot, but slipping. To be fair though, Gaethje and Olivera are the best guys in the division along with Dustin. If I had to put money on it, I'd pick Tony to win tonight. I just don't care for him. I've disliked him ever since his TUF days. There was a brief stint I kinda became a fan when he was calling out Conor a few years back. But that's more because of my disdain for Conor than anything. I think Tony is a bonafide lunatic. It's hard to listen to him when he goes off on his long tangents at times. It's as if his mouth works faster than his brain.

I kind of liked him for his madness. But I also never understood the hype for him from a fighting perspective. Is he similar weight to Connor? That’s would’ve been a fun build up

He built up an impressive win streak until he ran into Justin. Tony and Conor are both 155. Well, Conor's ideal weight is at 155 I should say.

A few years back Tony called out McGregor in a post fight interview and called him Mcnuggets. I was hoping they'd get that fight made. But that was around the time Conor was fighting Floyd if I remember correctly.

I like Dariush a lot, and I think he'll get over Tony. But the way people rate Fergo atm is confusing, I certainly can't count him out, I just keep hearing RJJ in my mind saying y'all must've forgot :lol:

I like Beniel's demeanor. Seems like some regular dude I'd meet at my son's ball game. I hope he wins. But Tony is tough.

Jacare gets his arm broke. You could hear it loud as day. I hope he makes a full recovery. I assume this is a career-ender as he is 41.

That Burgos stoppage was straaaaaange. Really hope that was an underlying health issue surfacing. Never seen anything like that.

Yeah, really weird delay. I've seen delayed knockdowns before, but nothing like that. Great fight.

Sincerely hope it isn't so, but my initial thought was some sort of brain bleed.

Dariush was farking class. Did feel a bit for Tony... he put it all out there...

The delayed reaction to a knockdown isn't normally a sign of something normal or anything good. But I hope all is OK.

Tony is finished which is a shame, if his ACL is torn which given, the pain on his face, his inability to put weight on it and that Dariush saying he heard it pop, he going to be out for a year or so. I'm all for never quitting and trying to fight back or fighting a choke until you go out, but when someone has you in a half that could be potentially career changing and I guess in very extreme cases life changing then fornicating tap.

I do feel a bit for Dariush though, poor guy is so grey at 32 that he looks like he is in his 40's. Great performance though,

Hey, I'll take a full head of grey hair over no hair. I'm OK with it now. But when you start receding at 20 years old.... :witzend:

Diego has parted ways with Joshua Fabia. Good for him, but it was a very strange, sad, and quite often comical saga.

Hadnt heard anything about this, then when I seen Diego hanging upside down getting slapped I knew something was very wrong.

I thought the whole Sanchez/Fabia thing was going to end with one of them dead. I feel Fabia is a bonafide sociopath.

I hadnt been following it particularly closely, but one thing that did catch my attention after the split was in a public statement Diego's lawyer mentioned that Fabia's power of attorney had been cancelled/rescinded. Possibly shows just how deep in Diego was. At the end of the day im glad someone was able to get through to him.
