UFC Denver tonight.  Looking forward to seeing Francis N'Gannou make short work of Arlovski in the heavyweight bout.

disaster for the card - I wonder will they downgrade to a fox event?
theres not enough to keep it a PPV in my opinion
khabib is a big LW - that picture of him wiht Tyson - he looked near as big and mike is about 215...not saying Khabib is that heavy but I would speculate he cuts 25-30 for the limit...
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Wonderboy/Woodley 2 is enough for a PPV by itself

they fought to a draw - if it was just them by themselves you'd honestly pay for it?

Gabriel_Hurl

I don't pay for any of them.  :)

But to suggest a rematch for the title after a controversial draw isn't good enough for a PPV main event is a bit of a stretch for me.

Is there pre-weigh in weight measurements taken by the UFC in the weeks beforehand?  Surely it was known that Khabib was nowhere near making weight and would have to go through a dangerous cut?

Turned out to be a snooze fest. Suppose they both kept it very tactical as they didn't want to get caught by the other, but was disappointed by it. Thought Wonderboy had it tbh. Without that last 30 seconds think he would have got the decision. Even then I don't think Woodley won 3 rounds and don't think the last was scored 10-8 was it?

I had it for Wonderboy too. Their styles just don't match up well. One judge gave the final round as 10-8.

I doubt we'll see Mark Hunt again.

I was shocked that Thompson didn't get that decision either.

I had it 3-2 to Thompson also. Two of the judges gave the 2nd round to Woodley and that was the clincher. Reasonably clear that 1 and 4 were Wonderboys and 3 and 5 were Woodleys.

The third judge gave the 2nd to Wonderboy, but gave the 5th as 10-8 to score it a draw overall.

Disappointing fight overall. Awful pity Khabib Ferguson didnt happen

Aye, I saw the scorecards on the post fight show too, can't believe they didn't give Thompson 1, 2 and 4.

I never want to see them fight each other again. Bad matchup - Gabe loves it though!
I would have given the second fight to Thompson. I think we see Hunt fight again this year - his leg isn't broken - he's got power and he's still hungry for cash - especially those kind of pay days...750K disclosed earnings.... he's not hanging up the gloves just yet.
