Big Foot Silva 2.75 vs Palelei 1.5 I know Silva hasn't won much lately (his last 5 losses were rd1 KO's!) but he's fought much higher level opponents than Palelei has. Plus he is fighting at home in Brazil. I didn't see Palelei's last fight so maybe I'm missing something and he has upped his game.
I think people seem pretty convinced that since bigfoot stopped doing testosterone replacement, he just isn't the same fighter. I think he's been overated for quite some time, his recent record is pretty bad, he hasn't won a fight in 2.5 years, and lost 5 of his last 8 fights by ko : /

never watched womens straw-weight before, enjoyed that one
it's much better than the other women's division imo, more depth of talent and the champion is much more likeable.

Did he stop trt before or after he was given a 2nd shot at Velasquez?
stopped after, he got caught for elevated lvl's at the hunt fight

wow, JDS looked completely shot, possibly another victim of the new testing, but almost certainly partly down to the beating's he's taken in his last few fights. Overeem has had a lot longer to adjust to fighting without banned substances. It was a good stoppage, The result wouldn't of changed if it went longer, an important thing to remember is that these guys are 240+lbs, Brain damage is a serious concern, and jds was not intelligently defending himself as required by the rules.
