I'm struggling to know some of these guys are even on the main card. That's the problem with pumping out all of these fight night cards. Some of these guys nobody has a clue about. Brazil is a hot market though, so I guess they will do just fine over there. Can't wait for Jacare-Okami just to see someone finally stop Okami and his constant cage control/clinching. Also Benavidez is always fun to watch, I want to see him face Mighty Mouse again.

Pretty much outside of those top 3 fights I dunno who any of those guys are... but I'm just wondering how much longer is Glover gonna have to wait til he gets a title fight. He's been taking guys out left and right and keeps getting passed up for his shot against Jones.

I'm not sure if Dana said it or was another matchmaker, but I watched the MMA Beat and Ariel Helwani was saying that if Glover beats Bader in impressive fashion then he will (or likely) get the next shot otherwise it will go to Daniel Cormier if Glover doesn't impress and Cormier does against Nelson.

Not sure if that was the official line or putting two and two together. Whatever the case, it seems the likely route i'd say.

Well I hope so. I think Glover would pose quite a threat to Jones. Although Cormier could do the same... if he doesn't lay another egg like he did against Mir cause Jones will push the fight to an extent if need be. Jones does go for the finish.

But here is hoping that Glover does finish Bader in impressive fashion. Kinda like how Machida did when Bader was out cold.

 

[Chase]

Glover needs a knockout here to challenge for that crown. If he would've knocked out Rampage, no discussion he would be fighting instead of Alexander. Glover better not doubt Bader. This could be a trap fight with Bader, and it could cost him. The other fights look solid.

Wow Benavidez looked great tonight. Team Alpha Male continues to dominate. Hope to see a rematch between Benavidez and Johnson for the title.

 

[No More Sorrow]

It was confirmed at the post fight conference that Glover is set to get the winner of Jones/Gustafsson.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Forget to mention how good Jacare looked. It's rare to see Okami get dominated like that. I'm convinced that Jacare could be champion down the road, maybe a fight with Vitor is the next one to get him a title shot. Had no idea his stand up was that good.

 

[Slim]

Wow... I completely forgot about this card. And I wanted to see those top two fights. Man... that sucks.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Yeah Jacare looked crazy good. Legit world class BJJ and not lame MMA BJJ but real BJJ and now the guys got some crazy KO power to go along with it. Big threat going forward, he wrecked Okami with ease.
