Man that's fucking great. Love the start bit showing what a clueless old twat Bob Arum is. This fight is gonna be crazy. Most anticipated MMA heavyweight fight in maybe ever for me.

 

Just watched this aswell, Ariel Helwani interviews Dana about the FOX show mainly, also touches on Joe Frazier

I agree that this is the no.1/no.2 guy going at it, it makes it feel pretty special...to be fair though, outside of heavyweight the UFC do put on legit. no.1/no.2 fights on a regular basis, there aint many guys outside of the UFC that can lay claim to a no.2 in the world spot (Eddie Alvarez/Alistair Overeem are probably the only 2).

 

i don't really see how you can make a case for Lesnar being a legit no.2 even if he beats Overeem, the guys has like 30 seconds of success in his past 2 fights and for the rest of the time has been mashed...but whatever.

 

It's for this very reason that i'm thinking that Brock has very little chance against the Reem, that Velasquez beating is going to be fresh on his mind and to have a guy with probably the single most devastating strikes in MMA opposite you is not going to be a thing that fills him with confidence.

just saw the Ariel Helwani/Dana White interview and Helwani addresses a report that Velasquez was injured in training. White fobs it off and says it was nothing that was even close to jeopardising the fight...it's sent alarm bells ringing for me though, perhaps Cain's in a position where he can't really afford to drop out and he will be going into the cage hurt on Saturday? interesting twist.

Usual Ariel Helwani pre fight interviews are up here with Cain, JDS, Guida, Henderson and ART JIMMERSON who is calling out Kimbo Slice for a boxing match :laugh:

I keep seeing mentions of 'we'll find a way to get the Guida vs Henderson fight televised' aswell whatever that means. Maybe they're gonna air it somehow after tomorrow night's event.
