Weak MW tourney this season.  And disappointing injury for Rhino.

They should have just brought in Melvin for a non title "Superfight".

Maybe if Shlemenko runs through Cooper they can still book him against Marshal for the PPV.

Lima>Condit.

Condit would beat Lima down. You crazy OU!

How can you not love Lima?

Lima is legit. Him vs condit would be a great fight.

Yeah or him vs Diaz would be fun as well. Little brother is pretty good as well.

Lima didn't even throw any bombs or nothing. Very calm and technical... Yet it looked like he hit Saunders in the face with a baseball bat. Shit is scary, guy could be the real deal.

Lima vs Condit is a dream fight of mine

Almost identical fighters. Great striking, great cardio, great guard games, mediocre wrestling.

Nice sportsmanship-

Lima just hoping Askren goes away...

No doubt, he's not alone

I think Askren could do the same thing to the majority of the guys in the UFC. It would actually be interesting him fighting GSP since he is a better wrestler then GSP.

I'm an Askren fan now. The stuff he was doing to Koreshkov was just bonkers. I've never seen someone get big brothered to that extent ever in MMA

Bellator will use pink gloves this month to promote Breast Cancer Awareness. Quality gesture on their part.
