    Gutted. Smooth work by Weidman but I really wanted him to get beat. I hate this "Mr New York", "Mr USA" *, all his family in there like he's won the title. It's cringey.

    Made me cringe how Weidman called out Bisping and said we know who the champ is.

    Get in line ya *.

    Like father like son.

    If my Da was in the Octagon screaming like that I'd give him a spinning elbow right to the dome.

    Remember the whole "he's still my boy" * after Rockhold? Was worse than last night celebrating like they won the World Cup.

    Cringe as *. Trying desperately to stay relevant... bisping will just be laughing at him.

    He lost 3 straight tko''s wrestles his way to a win after being knocked down (again) then claims he is still the champ.

    He's going to town on Bisping's eye injury.

    Bit low, even for the fight game.

    I don't even like Bisping much but I'd love it if he knocked out Weidman, even with one eye.

    How much of a chance does Cormier have against Jones?

    4/11 says not very much?

    I think he has a chance personally, no time up fight may end up being JJ biggest mistake.

    Very intruiging fight IMO, for a million and one reasons.

    I'm probably the biggest Jones fan on here but I've a horrible feeling Cormier will win on sat.

    Used to hate Jones till I seen him on an embedded interacting with his family and it kimd of humanized him in my eyes. Im torn in this fight but probably be happier if Cormier won dont get the hate for him at all.

    Thinks Jones gets it done though.

    Can not wait for this weekend, what a card. This is the biggest main event in a very long time, it's a culmination of everything that's happened in the last 2 years. Loving all the build up and promos. Best I can think of.

    Can't wait to see what Jones we see. Dan Hardy made a scary point that Cormier was on commentary for the OSP fight. If Jones wanted to finish him he could have, but he didn't step out of 3rd gear so Cormier is still left wondering how he has got better. Going to be unreal.

    Think Saturday will be the last time we see Cormier fighting win or lose.

    The old "Oh look he made his nan a cup of tea, gone up in my estimations now", "Such a family man", "Oh look at Ronaldo with his son, used to think he was a *, not now, what a great dad!".

    Used to hate someone, but now don't because of the way he interacts with his family.. :56:

    Dan Hardy was more cheerleader and less analyst on that video, and he was full of * on that point too.

    If you don't think Dan Hardy is one of the best analysts in the sport then this comment means * all. And you don't actually know if it was *, nobody knows what Jones we will see.

    I specified the most recent video, so I don't see what anything else he has done previously has to do with it. Hardy's point wasn't what kind of performance Jones will produce, but that Jones is somehow so good that he didn't really try his hardest to beat OSP for the sole purpose of camouflaging any evolution he had undergone in between the first Cormier fight and any subsequent one. As Hardy has competed before, I'm surprised he came out with such an absurd notion, but then, as I said, he was cheerleading pretty hard in that video.
