    Andrew Todhunter in for injured Hector Urbina

    Clearly Todhunter should only be fighting guys named Todd

    Werdum's bouncy striking game has come a long way. If they stayed on their feet I think Werdum would have a good chance in this fight. However the transition game and Velasquez's relentless pace will wear him down.

    Todhunter passed-out trying to make weight. His fight with Albert Einstein is off.

    Cathal Pendred wants a top-15 opponent if he wins this weekend. He's a generous 3-0 in the UFC so far.

    Really impressed with Werdum. He is so tough. His two title fights have been brutal. Velasquez is human after all. The long lay-off didn't do him any favours.

    Dunno why Melendez took his foot off the pedal. He let Alvarez take that fight.

    Gastelum was on fire. Great fight for him. Marquardt quit between rounds. Going to be hard to come back from that.

    Werdum has a case for heavyweight GOAT.

    Velasquez, Hunt, both Emelianenko's, Overeem, Big Nog, Browne, Roy Nelson, Bigfoot Silva, Gonzaga twice, and Vera. That is a ridiculous resume.

    Suppose he gets JDS next.

    Werdum and Williams earned “Performance of the Night” awards, and Rodriguez and Rosa took home “Fight of the Night” honors.

    Kudos to Werdum, but from the sound of it, Cain was just awful.

    So...whose got next? Do we see a new face, or do they recycle one of the guys who has already beat Werdum?

    Although JDS would seem like the easy fight to make I think Arlovski has a case for top contender at the moment.

    I really have trouble getting excited about that fight.

    I am leaning toward hoping they give Miotic a shot. Let Arlovski fight Rothwell, dos Santos, even 'Reem or Browne.

    What would be really cool, but will never happen, would be a Hvy weight tournament to pick the top contender.
