    Holm got wrecked at her own game

    If it possible she was on the same roids her teammate Jones was on. She looked very slow/sluggish tonight.

    Yep Holm looked a step slow and her punches were constantly missing by by a wide gap -- she was very tentative getting to the inside.

    He's great in the first round but has a reputation for falling off in the later rounds. Good win for him.

    Excited for UFC 202, it has a pretty nice main card. Glover/Rumble is awesome, and Cerrone/Story should be interesting. Who do ya'll have, Diaz or McGregor?

    I pick Cerrone to win it easily.

    The co-main event will be exciting and guaranteed to be a KO. If it gets past the 2nd round or goes to the 3rd round, Teixeira has a chance to win because Rumble Johnson's conditioning is always suspect. But I still pick Rumble to win via 1st round KO.

    The main event is a tough one. I like both these guys and I think this may go the distance, all 5 rounds. I hope Conor learned from his mistakes in the 1st fight. He underestimated Nate and it cost him. Diaz doesn't need to change his game plan and he's gonna be the bigger man in this fight. My prediction is McGregor wins via split decision.

    Full camp Nate is going to destroy Conor -- Diaz wasn't even in decent shape for the first fight and took the best Conor had for one round then dominated. Diaz wins in the 2nd -- he's just too big and strong especially coming off a full camp.

    Yeah. I don't like this matchup for Connor. Diaz is bigger, can take a punch, and his jiu-jitsu is far beyond Connor. But Connor could surprise. Maybe he learned from the last round of Stockton slaps and choke out?

    I'm not even buying this fight. Just gonna catch the highlights.

    I put money on McGregor. For some reason, I feel like he wouldn't put his entire career rep on the line for an out of weight class exhibition fight unless he was really really confident in his game plan against Diaz. I also know very little about MMA, so hopefully someone more enlightened can make me feel confident about my bet.
