Don't forget FS2 at 3pm ET Munoz/Machida. I don't have FS2 in HD but discovered I have FXD(Spanish Lang)HD so guess I'm watching in Spanish today!

Some type of leg injury, hamstring maybe? Didn't look like the knee buckled.

Lyoto is a problem at 185, that was scary explosive.

WSOF 6 is on tonight on NBC sports network, Miguel Torres just got choked out on the prelims. What a fall from grace for him, use to be one of the best.

Mayhem has issues big time, he needs help but he keeps making an ass out of himself. It's not funny anymore.

Machida could be freaking nuts at 185. I truly believe only Silva and Weidman would cause any problems for him (and those would be close matches either way). He walks through everyone else at MW.

He will still have the same problems he had at 205 though, in that nobody will really "beat him" but if he doesn't get the finish he could be on the short end of some tough decisions.

Yeah he needs to just up the volume, he did come forward and stalk Munoz down which is a start. I'd like to see him continue to do this and force his opponent into mistakes instead of just waiting on them. He is not a good match up for Weidman if Weidman beats Anderson again, could be the champ around this time next year. To me he looked younger at 185 too, he still moves like he's in his 20's even though he's 35.

I would love to see him vs. Jacare or Belfort for a title shot. Agree he is a tough matchup for Weidman, but I could see that fight going like the Phil Davis fight.

I'm still not sure how good Weidman is yet.

If you had only saw the Weidman/Silva fight I could see that. However, if you had seen all of Weidman's UFC fights you would know how good he is.


The the best praise eleven for Weidman came from Chael Sonnen when he said "When I was in that division (MW), every time the UFC called and said they had a fight for me I prayed it wasn't Weidman."

Well he beat Phil in 99% of people's eyes. Phil is also much larger and longer than Weidman. 5 rounds would help Lyoto also imo. Jacare or Belfort if he beats Hendo both make sense as number one contender fights. Belfort and Machida would be crazy, fight could end at any moment.

Yeah Weidman is the real deal, most people knew that before the Anderson fight. Chael talks a lot of bs though, also recently said that he doesn't accept his two losses to Anderson. Then went on to say that the Weidman that fought Anderson was the worse Weidman he has ever seen.

I have seen all of his UFC fights. He didn't look very good vs. Maia, but that was on short notice. He looked really sloppy vs. Sakara, but he was very young at that point. He looked awesome vs. Munoz but you could argue he landed a "lucky" elbow. I tend to agree he is very, very good, but it's sort of tough to tell.

Weidman is pretty big and I think he beat Phil Davis in college wrestling. I agree Machida won that fight though.
