He was. He asked for the fight and Dana was contemplating giving it to him, but said Edgars family said no. Guess they really wanna see him stop fighting.

Great interview. Love Paul Felder for his ferociousness in the cage and how he carries himself outside of it, and I dig Mike Perry just because he's a wild mother****er and an authentic guy who isn't scared to bang out. I'm really excited about this one.

I think Felder will handle this pretty easily, but it's going to be a fight. I'd like to see Perry use some of his BJJ if given the opportunity because he looks decent down there. He's gotta be a little smarter now that guys are starting to learn how to deal with his aggression.

His coaches said he got a shot for his shoulder and is required to rest for 2 weeks.

But why get that when you know you're the number 1 replacement?

Yh i'm excited for this fight too. I think Felder takes it. Perry has power, but tends to get a bit over aggresive and not use all his tools. I feel Felder could take advantage once he doesn't get tagged with anything significant. But man other than that, this card is stacked! Two huge HW fights for the main and co-main event. Main card has all bangers and great fights on the prelims as well. Can't wait.

No clue on that. I guess he wasn't going to take the fight on a few days notice but was willing if someone got hurt in camp.

Makes sense.
I saw Volkov weighing in yesterday as a possible replacement for the main event. I think UFC should do that more.

OK, guys. 1 hour 'til "kick-off". Don't wanna predict who's gonna win cuz I got too much heart invested in this one. Instead, I'll share the teams I'm rootin' for.



who you got?

Re: UFC 226: Miocic vs Cormier

I don't care who wins, mostly. I'll be rooting for Felder and Font.

Hooker vs Burns could be fun fight.

The prelims have started. The Fightpass prelims are decent but the FS1 prelims are really good.

Rogan, Cruz, and Anik on commentary.

Re: UFC 226: Miocic vs Cormier

Cruz on the commentaries... how long 'til he gets passive aggressive with Rogan, and mentions underhooks 100 times?

[johnmangala]

Re: UFC 226: Miocic vs Cormier

Lol idk underhooks are pretty important.

I*don't like him. not one bit.

The match up favors Stipe. But on top of that, people seem to forget that DC has always failed when going up against the top guy in his division - in college, in the Olympics, and against Jon Jones at LHW. Tonight will be no different.
