UFC 162: Silva vs Weidman (July 6 @ 10pm EST)

[JackBurton]

WTF? The last time that happened, this happened.

 

[OCNewbie]

I have to disagree, Condit, Cerone & Gulliard have all got FOTN bonuses, and outside of a few weird fights they're never boring. I know Melvin left Jackson MMA but while there he was one of the most exciting dudes to watch imho. Condit to me is top 3 exciting, same with Cerone.

I agree. Cerrone specifically is one of my favorite fighters because he's never in a boring fight.

That's cool... didn't know you could watch the prelims anywhere other than FB. To me, FB quality is noticeably better though.

The UFC.com stream is pretty good, too.

Anybody think Pierce could make 155?

Anybody think Pierce could make 155?

At 5' 8", he probably could. He's kind of stocky. At 32 though, does he even want to make a tough cut like that though?

I wonder what weight he wrestled at in college.

I wonder if he cuts any at all now. He's not exactly ripped, but I'm not sure if he's got 15 lbs of fat on him. I'd say he definitely could cut to 155 if he doesn't cut much to get to 170 (though I'm not weight cutting expert).

ETA: Nice finish by Pierce.
