It's a big step up for Romero. Machida is on his way to gatekeeper status if he loses.

That fight will say a lot about if Lyoto still has elite level status as a fighter, I think he will KO Romero who is rather raw and wild on the feet. Tim Kennedy had him out on the feet, Romero is dangerous though and maybe the best wrestler in the UFC.

Crushed? He won rounds but that was far from an ass kicking, most of the rounds were really close imo.

You can barely win all 5 rounds, guess I just don't see it that way.

Crushed is probably not the best word. It was a solid decision win, but he didn't dominate.

I realized I'm going to a concert this weekend and will most likely miss the entire 187 card. This is one I would have got to the bar early for too.

187 is awesome, best card of the year easily.

Really hope Rumble and Cerrone win. Would love to Rumble against Jones and definitely want to see Cerrone get a title shot.

I can't pick Rumble vs DC, have no idea what's gonna happen lol Cerrone should be able to beat Makdessi, Khabib was a horrible match up for him. Cerrone already lost to RDA but I'd be cool seeing it again.

I'm not sure Cerrone can win the belt, I just really want to see him in a title shot and get all the press that comes with it, one of the most entertaining guys out there.

Yeah I'd be cool with that, although his last two fights haven't been that great, he always comes to throw down.

I won't buy 187, but it really is a stacked card.

Two title fights... (Rumble vs. Cormier and Weidman vs. Belfort)
Donald Cerrone (entertaining fighter)
Travis Browne (knockout artists)
John Dodson (exciting energy fighter)
Uriah Hall (knockout specialist)
Rose Namajunas (one of the most talented female fighters in the UFC)

That makes 7 exciting fights on the card. That's a pretty good card, IMO. But... I've learned my lesson the last 2-3 times I've purchased a card entirely by myself... Horrible fights happen, late scratches from the card, etc. etc. etc. When I take all of that into account, dropping $60 (myself) is no longer "worth it".

The last 3 fighters you listed are free, they're not on the main card.

Same as you although I could see Arlovski KO'ing Browne and the main event is a toss up to me, Rumble just seems to have unreal momentum right now and when he touches guys they go down.

Really hope Vitor gets knocked out. Just to show he was only winning because of the juice. He looks 3/4 the size he used to.

Vitors testerone was way to high in the pre fight tests. I can't believe they allow that high of limits. 500 one test 1200 another while Weidman was 370 both times. Testing is still a joke

1200 is within the allowable limits I believe. Vitor looks like a welterweight now.
