PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET)


Gleison Tibau vs. Jamie Varner

I think Bendo wins this fight by UD, probably 4 rounds to 1.
I really hate both Mir and Barnett. The fight is interesting though. Maybe they could let them both get back on roids just to make the fight better. It's not like either guy has a prayer of becoming Champion so why not?
I think Mendes dominates and probably even finishes Guida late in the fight. Probably 3rd round TKO.

Poirer vs Kotch will win FOTN, I think they go at it for 3 rounds and Poirer gets the win.

Rothwell too big for Vera, gets him down and GnP TKO in round 1

Tibau via UD. 30-27.

I'm hoping both Mir and Josh retire after this fight. I would really like it if I never had to see either one of them ever again. It's bad enough I'll have to suffer through Mir during pre and post fight shows and Josh will pop up next to The Voice in some random event I'm sure.

Gleison Tibau is the fucking worst. Zero skill other than being a strong guy, never does dick in his fights

This card was kind of weird. Between Rothwells call out of Travis Browne, Frank Mir taking a dive that cost him, and No one knowing what happened in the Main Event something felt off. And yah Tibau is terrible. Congrats to Chad Mendes aswell. I would like to see him fight Michael Chandler one day at 145 or 155.

Pettis really hurt his left knee (his right was hurt already per-fight).

If he he is out for a long period of time they should make Thomson vs Grant for interim.

Aldo should fight Lamas.

Mendez vs Cub should be made with the winner getting Aldo/Lamas.

Barnett v Werdum would be a nice throwback fight.

decent night of fights.

highlight was of course Josh Barnett manhandling Frank Mir.

I really liked the main card. Pettis vs Aldo ASAP!

Mir got his ass beat up. Barnett looked better then I thought he would.
