I know he is the champ but Whittaker beat him so bad in the 1st he had nothing left in the 2nd and got finished. As much as I love Jacare he has always been in a weird spot with opponents having not fought Weidman, Rockhold, Bisping or Gastelum instead he fought Brunson, Boetsch and Vitor for 3 of his last 4. This might be his first fight against a contender that won't see the next shot if he wins Whittaker and Gastelum are very similar propositions. Both smaller MWs who have really slick striking and a good wrestling base. Though there was talk of a bunch of injuries Jacare dealt with leading up to the Whittaker fight (though Jacare was adamant in not wanting to make any excuses). I can certainly see that being a factor, since he looked like he'd lost a step in that fight, then was back to being a killer against Brunson. We'll see how he looks against Kelvin, but I'm really seeing a combination of Jacare-Whittaker and Weidman-Gastelum in this matchup. I'd like to see Jacare win convincingly though, he's been around the top of the MW rankings forever without getting a title shot, and I'd be really excited for a potential rematch against Whittaker or Romero.

Hendo somehow passed over like 7 guys for that title shot if I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope we see him back in the big show at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Shame about Luis on TUF. He would have been super tough to beat Also, anyone notice that combo Mitchell threw with about 1:35 left in the 1st? Left hook, high kick and another left just boom-boom-boom. It was pretty smooth especially for TUF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC (and Cain) are out coaching Stipe by miles and it really doesn't seem like Stipe knows what he's doing from a coaching perspective. I know in some interviews he's done post TUF he said he wasn't really a fan of coaching but got more comfortable as the season went on so hopefully we'll see something from Team Stipe coming up.

Yea, i assumed Uncle Dana would give him his shot at the finale. Hope he comes back 100% and puts on a show. He is definitely a mismatch for alot of guys. I feel like this episode was the 1st time i heard Cain speak too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 ok, so apparently Yair Rodriguez turned down the fight against Zabit at 227, and as a result the UFC have cut him. wtf. I mean it stinks that he's turning down fights, but still a bad business move from the UFC if they're cutting a guy like Yair just like that. Still don't know if it's legitimate, or if it's going to last, but pretty crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
