in that poster, Glover looks excited to be getting his title shot.

in that poster, Glover looks excited to be getting his title shot.

 

Seriously... they couldn't find a better pic for the poster? He looks like he's thinking "Fuck. My. Life."

"The Wire WAS the best show on television. I don't care what you say."

[Zero 210]

I feel like this will be a demolition by Jones, but I thought the same thing for the Gus fight. 

 

I'm more looking forward to Davis/Johnson. 

[Edwin 4,116]

As much as I like Glover, I don't know what he has to offer Jones that Jones hasn't already seen.

[J.T. 8,791]

I thought I was going to be able to attend this since my girlfriend lives about 30 min from Baltimore, but she's coming down here for a Bridal Shower and I have to get my car inspected.  Fuck..

[Elsalvajeloco 5,569]

Vagner Rocha got hurt in training and is out of the Ellenberger fight.

[Edwin 4,116]

Benavidez/Elliot and Holloway/Fili are awesome fights.

 

I'm particularly looking forward to Holloway/Fili which I've been bragging about for a while now.

 

I really hope Gomi can pull out a win.

[Elsalvajeloco 5,569]

 

I like how all four guys are taking a different picture. Phil is posing for an awkward university website background picture. Jon probably believes he is in a Ciroc commercial. Rumble is stoic like it's a men's custom suit ad. Glover just needs the headphones to be in one of those "Hear What You Want" Beats By Dre TV spots.

We could have had a bonus prediction for the show...Will Anthony Johnson make weight?

[Craig H 10,452]

Yeah. AJ is fighting at where he should be at and I can't see him and the Blackzilians messing this up.

[Edwin 4,116]

Considering he's made weight in all of his fights at 205 and he weighed 230 lbs when he fought Arlovski in WSOF, I think it's a safe bet he'll make weight.

[Craig H 10,452]

AJ is a good dude and I'm glad he appears to be back on track. At one point I had him pegged to give GSP a ton of trouble. Now, I don't think he could beat Jones, but I think he could give him a tough fight.

[TheVileOne 1,885]

He said he was 216 lbs like last week, so it would have to be impossible he doesn't make weight today.  Unless he really just is that lazy.  He did miss weight again after the Vitor fight but that fight was supposed to be at middleweight.  Then he just moved up to 205 and even fought Arlovski at heavyweight.

[Hollywood Cibernetico 216]

I'll be going to the show tonight. Should be fun.

[Edwin 4,116]

Sick way to kickoff the card.

[twiztor 768]

just saw Todd Grisham on the preshow. guess he works for ESPN now. just funny to see.

[Edwin 4,116]

 

Goodnight Mr. Williams.

[Edwin 4,116]

 

Goodnight Mr. Brenneman.

[Elsalvajeloco 5,569]

Very few people lose as emphatically as Charlie Brenneman does.

[Edwin 4,116]

Bethe calling out the Four Horsewomen:

 

 

Aside from Rousey, I like her chances against the other 2.

[Joe Lucia 355]

I'm so pissed I didn't drive the hour and a half to go to this show, and the main card hasn't even started yet.

[Edwin 4,116]

Awesome prelims.

 

If you missed them, watch them all.

[Edwin 4,116]

 

Joe-a Constrictor.
