my favorite Worldwide MMA thread is back, did you enjoy your vacation?

 

[qw3rty]

Weichel vs Sánchez is a badass fight IMO

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

weichel deserves more hardcore fans based on this poll imo!

im about equally excited for his fight and barboza vs melendez. Two best fights of the weekend



also, its crazy that weichel is only -170. I think he's gonna wreck shop and should be -300.

 

[essie]

Holly, and Crawford, and Caldwell oh my!

 

[Kinger85]

thanks as always

 

[melvinj0]

Lots of great events this weekend, unfortunately will miss most of it since I'm going to Comorado for a family reunion.


Also that Pancrase card, holy shit!

Yes was fantastic thanks, sucks to be back. Only thing that got me through the first day back is that i had 4 UFC events (including 200) to catch up on! Though wasn't the same level of excitement for them without the fight week build up, weigh ins etc.

Good weekend
Melendez vs Barboza and Sanchez vs Weichel are my favourites of the weekend, Caldwell should win normally and Okami fighting in Japan again is cool
Thanks @mattandbenny a pleasure to have you here again
