I can't believe it's finally happening this weekend! Going to really hype myself up for this one!

I think Cormier is going to take the belt.

I want Cormier to win it. I think Jones will sub him at some point though while hes on his back. I know we haven't seen much of Jones on his back but I just got a feeling hes pretty well trained in that position too. being hes very well trained in everything else.

Hoping for Cormier, but afraid Jones will take it. It's a tough one to pick though.

I wonder if Jones' recent knee surgery will be a factor in the fight? The perils of having Overeem in your camp, I guess.

Also, whilst watching Ariel Helwani's sit down with JBJ I couldn't help but notice that he has some serious scar tissue (courtesy of Alexander Gustafsson?) around his eyes which looks as if it's ready to tear from as little as a stern glance.

Cormier needed a surgery at one of his knees, but he prefered to fight jon instead. So it will be a factor as well and much bigger one than jon surgery. Anyway, I expect a total domination form Cormier. His wrestling and strength will be too much for Jones. Also he is much faster and explosive than jones who is rather slow for a lhw.

Man, good thing Steven Seagal showed Cormier some stuff.

BTW is there any interest in a Live Event Discussion thread?

We don't often do these for MMA events, but this is a huge fight.

[Kenshin (Banned)]

Yes, please. Event starts in a about 3h from now.

[Kenshin (Banned)]

I will be definalty there.

[K1power]

Awesome, it would be great if someone could do a bit of coverage for the undercard/prelims. I probably won't be showing up until the main card kicks off.

UFC 182 bonuses:

Paul Felder, Shawn Jordan, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC 182 event.

Felder and Jordan won “Performance of the Night” bonuses while headlines Jones and Cormier earned “Fight of the Night” honors.

UFC 182 took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card card on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Felder (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) closed out the night’s prelims with a vicious spinning-back-fist knockout of fellow lightweight Danny Castillo (17-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC). It’s a very early candidate for “Knockout of the Year” consideration.

Jordan (17-6 MMA, 5-3 UFC), meanwhile, scored a first-round knockout of fellow heavyweight Jared Cannonier (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC). A sneaky right hook set up the quick win.

Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) and Cormier (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), meanwhile, met in their long-awaited grudge match. Jones defended his light-heavyweight title with a unanimous-decision victory via 49-46 scores.
