He doesn't belong on the main card. I mean he's bald and has super cool tats, but he's not anything special as a fighter.

i saw UFC is adding 5 round main events to all cards that haven't been signed yet in the future and a 125lb division

and they are trying to buy a majority stake of G4 network to takeover programming there and dump SpikeTV. SPike will pick up Bellator if UFC dumps them.

the carwin dos santos fight is really tricky to pick. The closest resemblance to Carwin Dos Santos has faced is Big country. What I think happens is Dos Santos weathers the storm and tko's Carwin in the 2nd or 3rd. I think Dos Santos can stop Carwins takedowns but Carwins 1 punch knockout power is a huge factor into this fight.

Can't wait to see if this is still the case with his dramatic weight cut

Carwin will outwrestle JDS and smash him into a puddle of goo from the top position.

JDS weathers the early storm and then he applies the blackhouse mma Steven Seagal front kick to end carwins night. This is a harder fight than Brock for JDS but I think he wins

they busted a major source in florida and this source and its outer ring was the supplier for a good chunk of athletes and celebrities. paul sr from occ was named in the same case as carwin and both of them shrunk down in size at the same time (weird reference, but its true).

i couldnt care less personally, but when someone makes dramatic weight swings while maintaining top conditioning, i get suspicious. carwin changed his diet and training up completely, so that alone may account for the change.

Carwin is gonna finish JDS in the first round. He is EASILY the best HW in the world. If they had stopped the Brock fight like they should have he would have won every single pro fight he has EVER had in the first round, with only 2 going over 2 minutes and 5 in less than 1 minute.

Maybe, but JDS's standup is a few notches ahead of Brocks. I am interested to see how good Juniors takedown d is.

Carwin has slow hands and zero cardio. JDS has just as much KO power and has the fastest hands at HW. night night carwin.
