This should be a good card. It's just teasing me leading up the the New Years card and the Superbowl card, in which all the fights could be headlineers.

Sotiropoulos vs. Lauzon will be good. Tyson Griffin is gonna be cut more them likely after this card.

Lauzon always puts on exciting fights so I'm excited to watch him. I don't think Griffin gets cut, he's too good of a fighter. If he loses I think they will force him to drop down to the new 145 weight class and fight there where he will be more competitive.

I'm also hoping Aldo and Edgar fight at some point, Aldo has the scariest kicks I've ever seen. I think/hope Pettis beats Hendo then beats whoever wins the other fight.

The 155 and 145 classes are going to be super exciting in the near future.

Brock might not get his belt back ever. There are a lot of good HW and Brock isn't that skilled and can't take a punch.

I can't wait till Pat B. makes his return this year and smashes some guys with those tree trunk legs.

Anyone have predictions for the fights themselves?

He might get a shot at 145 but he will be on a short leash. He is the first fight of the prelims which is not a good sign.

I agree. I think DW has a soft spot for a lot of random guys and for some reason I think Griffin is one of them. He will probably get a fight or two at 145 and depending on how exciting they are he could get more, win or lose.

As long as people talk about the fights that's all DW cares about. W/L doesn't mean as much if you put on exciting fights, look at Guida. He's roughly .500 but puts on a hell of a show every time.

The new divisions will be exciting to see. As for Brock, I hope he makes a comeback. I'm by no means a Brock fan, but the way he was handled by Velasquez...I mean, I felt bad for the guy.

I'm most looking forward to Penn vs. Hughes though. Stacked card all around, tomorrow will be good.

I think the Heavyweight Div still has some good fights left. Cain is the total package and I look for him to have several more good fights. Brock will make it back and will be good as well. For a dude that has a short MMA career he has done well.

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By frankw · Posted

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
