Is it a small cage this weekend? It's a small venue.

Great question, just realized its less than 10,000 seeating capacity. These are usually the shows with small cages.

I just tweeted Ariel, he'll know.

 

[edole]

small cage hurts Wonderboy me thinks

probably helps Cote

 

[powerBJJ]

I'm on the fence about this i like wonder boy since he's a new fighter i wanna see him do good but i also like rory..can not decide..

I asked a couple people on twitter as well... MMAjunkieMatt and MikeBohnMMA

 

[Agent Mulder]

Soto r3 +1600?

 

[Joseph Budden]

Soto r3 +1600?

Was hoping for +2000, but can't fault anyone for stabbing. Think Beal's cardio will be a bit improved back at 135, and I have a theory that I think could be plausible where these early weigh ins allow guys to take more damage from having a better method and more time for rehydration. We haven't seen enough for me to speak with confidence on this theory, but I can't stop thinking about the amounts of damage fighters took at 199 without going down.

 

[Card]

From twitter - Spoke with Marc Ratner, who said it's a full-size cage.

@Joseph Budden

I have never touched that Round Robin concept, but have tried it out now with a risky 4man. Is there any tactical way to implement Round Robin in a serious part of betting or just for the lulz?

 

[t6p]

FWIW Carlos Condit was on the Luke Thomas show yesterday and picked Rory. Mark Henry was on today and picked Wonderboy.

Card is the GOAT in the betting section.
