    Yeah some good fights on this card no doubt...

    I have never gravitated towards Sterling and have bet against him his past few fights. This is one fight that I will be rooting for him, Cejudo is so cringeworthy can't stand him but respect his abilities.

    Cejudo has been out a long time, could be some cage rust. Kinda leaning Sterling as he's been very active and just kicking ass lately.

    Triple C for me. His coach says he's better than 3 years ago when he retired.

    If I could have seen Henry in just one tune up fight before this one I would bet on him. He's going right into the lions den in this fight after being retired for years. IDK?

    Don't think Cejudo would take this fight if he didn't have enough in him to win. He's been logging in ring time. I think he'll be ready to go.

    Interesting, I'm wondering if Cejudo needs money after sitting out so long?

    Probably, why else would he come back? Bored and in his prime now maybe?

    Yeah, I'm not seeing much upside to him coming back.

    I'm going with Sterling, I like fading fighters coming off 2-3+ year layoffs...

    Also looking at the Burns/Belal over 4.5...both guys are very durable with Burns being finished twice on Belal once in their careers.

    That's a tough fight to call. Slight lean Burns. Belal has a hard time finishing in fight. Burns can get you standing or on ground.

    This is a good fight. Belal is tough as nails, doesn't get finished. He's kind of decision fighter that just out works ya.

    Gilbert Burns could gas out also in the long 5 rounder.. Something also to think about. May have to hedge this fight. Mu by dec, Gil ITD.

    It's probably just showmanship but Cejudo does not seem to respect Sterling and thinks it will be easy night's work...

    Definitely. And Belal has been training with the dagestani fighters lately so his conditioning will be on point. His foot looked swollen at the weigh-in though.

    Something is strange about that, because there are other angles showing that same foot, and it looks perfectly fine.

    An interesting trend: In UFC history, flyweight and welterweight fighters who are 35-years old or older are 2W-22L in title fights.

    Black dudes getting punked so far, could Sterling be next?

    Hawes came out on fire then got slept. Lol..

    In the first fight - Holmes missed weight then looked like a girl getting punk'd in the cage. Cut his ass Dana.

    They're gonna have to drag out these promos, because this last early prelim fight isn't going to last long.

    Another black dude punk'd.. My money was on Porter in this one. This big dude had no gas tank at all.
