UFC 185 is this weekend, an above average card...in fact a very decent card:
Anthony Pettis vs. Rafael dos Anjos for lightweight title
Carla Esparza vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk for strawweight title
Matt Brown vs. Johny Hendricks
Roy Nelson vs. Alistair Overeem
Chris Cariaso vs. Henry Cejudo
Ross Pearson vs. Sam Stout
Roger Narvaez vs. Elias Theodorou
Daron Cruickshank vs. Beneil Dariush
Josh Copeland vs. Jared Rosholt
Ryan Benoit vs. Sergio Pettis
Joseph Duffey vs. Jake Lindsey
Germaine de Randamie vs. Larissa Pacheco
UFC 186 - April 25th - another pretty stacked card!
T.J. Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao for bantamweight title
Demetrious Johnson vs. Kyoji Horiguchi for flyweight title
Quinton Jackson vs. Fabio Maldonado
Michael Bisping vs. C.B. Dollaway
Thomas Almeida vs. Yves Jabouin
Patrick Cote vs. Joe Riggs
Alexis Davis vs. Sarah Kaufman
Bryan Barberena vs. Chad Laprise
John Makdessi vs. Abel Trujillo
Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. David Michaud
Claudio Silva vs. Nordine Taleb
Valerie Letourneau vs. Jessica Rakoczy
UFC 187 - May 23rd - Another very stacked card.
Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson for light heavyweight title
Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort for middleweight title
Donald Cerrone vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
Andrei Arlovski vs. Travis Browne
Joseph Benavidez vs. John Moraga
John Dodson vs. Zach Makovsky
Josh Burkman vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Uriah Hall vs. Rafael Natal
Nina Ansaroff vs. Rose Namajunas
Mike Pyle vs. Sean Spencer
Leo Kuuuntz <------HIS NAME IS BANNED!! vs. Islam Makhachev
Josh Sampo vs. Justin Scoggins
My shouts for the bigger fights would be:
Pettis, Jedrzejczyk, Hendricks, Overeem, Cariaso.
Barao, Johnson, Jackson, Dolloway.
Jones, Weidman, Nurmagomedov (hopefully Cerrone though), Browne & Benevidez.
Some really good 50/50 fights coming up on the above main shows, thrown in the events in between with:
FN62 (Laflare v Maia & Silva v Koschek)
FN63 (Lamas v Mendes)
FN64 (Cro Cop v Gonzaga)
onFox15 (Machida v Rockhold & Holloway v Swanson)
FN65 (Hunt v Miocic)
FN66 (Edgar v Faber)
Lots of shows then, do you think it is watering down the level of competition or the quality of the shows?
I think the next 3 months prove the UFC has the numbers needed & the level of quality needed to put on decent show after decent show.
Any other fights you are looking forward to? Where do you think the biggest upset could potentially come from? Who's going to be involved in the next highlight reel finish, arm breaking submission or staredown brawl??

Yeah shocked it looked so easy for RDA!!
Did Pettis overlook him??
I'd never noticed the size of RDA's head?!?! Its the size of a multi-story car park!!!!
Yeah, they're the fights im most excited about too...I think Jones only really has 2 maybe 3 fights at LHW before his move up.

Didn't manage to watch this until last night, brilliant stuff - the most enjoyable event for a good while IMO.
Sheer domination from Dos Anjos.
Pleased to see Hendricks chalk up a win but what's happened to his knockout power of old?
Most impressive of all was Joanna Jedrezyck, the flyweight Rousey? Really put a beatdown on that b!!tch Esparza and not before time.
I can't see anyone from that TUF series handling Jedrezyck... Paige Vanzant next in line?
