Nick will press forward and get Bader'd IMO. It's interesting enough to get him to come out of "retirement".

Still this is a guy who held a title at 155 vs a guy who held a title at 205.

Even the most talented fighters ever can't make that leap. Ask BJ Penn how a Machida fight goes.

I would like to see that BJ fight. It is probably on the internet somewhere. I agree that Lyoto is probably a little too big for Nick, but the weight cut effects on him would be interesting.

He says he could do it with ease, but you just never know.

ask a lightweight what its like to fight a guy who weighed 215 in the fight? lol. Machida didn't even dominate the fight and got rocked during it even though BJ looked like the michelin man.

Weigh-ins tomorrow afternoon.....so pumped for this card. It's funny how I'm liking/looking forward to this ME, but there are 5+ match-ups that I'm more interested in on this same card.

Off-topic, but anyone hear the rumor about Chael applying to ref the Weidman/Silva rematch? I'm sure it's bullshite, and if it isn't it will still never happen.....but how funny would that be with those 3 inside the octagon

I don't care what anyone says, Chael is good for the UFC

I hope he joins Joe & Goldie once he retires....

I love the guy. I really hope he wins a fight soon. I'd hate to see it come at Shogun's expense, but there's more money to be made with Chael winning fights.

Also, I tried to do the no cable (netflix/hulu/antenna route) and this card couple with the Breaking Bad premiere made it impossible.

I thought Browne would have a bigger height advantage than this.....

Rheem might have put his shoes on before the faceoff.

I can't even pick a FOTN candidate


Looking forward to watching these two old guys go at it....the 2 most underrated fighters in the world



Uriah Hall is a talented guy and this should be an exciting fight



I'm a big Joe Lauzon fan as well

Reem weighed in 20lbs heavier than Browne

And Karyn Bryant's husband is easily the greatest cameraman on planet Earth

Very end

Yep, he's her cameraman and he is awesome. Whenever arse and/or titties are present this man is on top of it

Prime example: 32 seconds

Yeah, she is awesome. I wonder how her husband feels about all those Rampage interviews though
