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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
