Can't help but like stipe. Not much left for him now though unless Jones fancies his chances, which I doubt.

Stipe is an absolute machine, he took a lot of shots and just kept going

Stipe is a great wrestler too, getting a takedown on DC was impressive only other to do it was Jones,

Yeah, easily now, not sure where he goes from here, hopefully he gets to rest before being chucked in with someone else

Didn't realise how close it all was

So how would we feel with Lesnar Vs Jones? Too be honest apart from a very quick lucky Lesnar knockout in the 1st round I can't see it going any other way than a Jones decision.

James haskell has joined bellator

guys going to get his ass kicked

He'll do well, I reckon, similar to Greg Hardy has, bellator integrates it's "celeb" fighters well with easier fights at first

i was just imagining another cm punk

Ufc destroyed punk, gave him such a hard fight to start with, he would have never been ranked probably but could have had a few good ones, most others who go over do well

McGregor looks unhinged in his Helwani interview. Guy has completely lost the plot.

So having re watched a few of Pioriers fights don't see Sat night going any other way than a Khabib win. I am guessing it's going to be take down after take down for 25 minutes. What about you guys? Does Piorier have a shot?

I can't see it going the distance, khabib is not human, plus with his dad there and basicly a hometown crowd he will want to end it early.

Khabib isn't human.

could end up looking silly but whilst dustin is heavy handed don't think he has that true 1 punch ko power to trouble khabib, imo he beat hollaway because hollaway was massively the smaller guy and his punches were not effecting dustin the same way his were rocking hollaway can see khabib squeezing the life out of him early and getting a late tko

Areas where I think Dustin can have success in:

Size: He is a big lightweight and I believe he is the biggest lightweight Khabib has fought, which adds some intrigue.

Striking: Dustin is the better striker and as we saw against Max, his counter punching and reach can cause any fighter trouble. He has the 2 inch reach advantage and he will land on Khabib and like his fight against Johnson, Khabib isn't beyond being rocked.

Conditioning: Dustin might also be the best conditioned fighter Khabib has faced. Khabib's last 4 opponents have all been out worked by him but Dustin has gone into deep waters before, especially against Gaethje and if it comes down to will and heart, Dustin will not be lacking in those areas.

Good points guv, but most of what you said is meaningless if he is on his back which where I think this fight will be for most the time. Let's see, but don't see Khabib really trading.

I hope Islam does well in his fight, the other guy looked huge
