Who is everyone?

Everyone, literally, except those close to Gus.

Honestly though, he had a loss previously to Phil Davis and he didn't look that dominant in his last 2 fights against Shogun and Thiago Silva and Jones steamrolled everyone he had fought before, so everyone was indeed picking Jones as the huge favorite.

I believe Joseph Benavidez is a pretty funny guy or at least has projected himself in such a way at some points, so maybe he can learn a bit from him.

I certainly thought Jones would crush Gus and wasn't that impressed with the way he fought before that fight. Things have changed.

I certainly don't expect 35yr old Rashad who hasn't fought in a year and who's last two fights were against Sonnen and Hendo to have a very good time with Gus.

Chad needs to work on his signifying because he is AWFUL at trash talking.

 

If only trash talking mattered...

 

 

Well, Mendes is fighting Aldo in Aldo's hometown for the 2nd time. More than likely, McGregor will get his shot in a stadium of his own folks.

 

Cain's body is made out of shredded cheese. He has whatever bad juju Thomson had a few years ago.

The scenario of a fat Samoan former kickboxer turned MMA fighter with a 5-7 MMA losing record getting tapped by middleweights and suddenly turning his career around and fighting for the biggest title on the biggest platform in the sport is quite a bizzare one.

Jesus...If McCorkle subbed Hunt, what is Werdum going to do? Of course, we could wind up with the Werdum who constantly lays on his back, hoping his opponent falls into his guard, oblivious to the fact that he's decidedly losing the fight.

According to the Breaking News audio on F4W:

 

- Cain was already training on a "sprained" knee, but he was planning to get surgery after the fight

 

- He aggravated his injury in wrestling practice bad enough to where his doctor told him he couldn't train for a month

 

- Velasquez is slated to fight the winner of the UFC 180 main event in March.

He's had two knee surgeries before, any information on if this is the same injured knee?

 

Last month, Velasquez basically said he trains too much and trains when he's hurt.  So it's no wonder he's constantly getting injured.

 

The injury prior to the first Dos Santos fight was the left knee. This was a meniscus tear and MCL sprain on his right leg.
