I want DC and Damian to win so bad. It will probably be a depressing night.

No one really knows. It was super bizarre, especially because out of all the journalists out there Luke Thomas has probably defended Jones the most. He even got lots of hate for defending Jones back when he was fucking up
Luke said he asked Jones team if they knew what the issue was and they said as far as they knew Jones was cool with him. Jones seems like the type of dude that takes petty things super seriously though so who knows maybe Luke said something this past week analyzing the fight Jones didn't like

Yeah I was honestly shocked to see that he was still in the UFC when they announced this fight. I figured he would have been cut already.
His record over his last 8 fights is terrible and hes's almost 37. Its time to hang em up man

Since we've got the time...
It's obvious Woodley is an elite WW and champion calibre, but can he steal the GOAT mantle from GSP? It's certainly not going to be easy, especially not when GSP retired with the belt after 9 title defenses. I don't think Tyron has that much time left in the sport, so he has to make up for quantity with quality. Is that possible?
Lawler and Wonderboy are all impressive wins, and before that he had very impressive performances against Gastelum, Kim, Condit, Hieron and Koscheck.
Who else can he beat right now, aside from Maia, that puts him in serious contendership for GOAT WW status? I can see him end up as the #3 guy, I can even see him supplant Matt Hughes as the #2 guy, but GSP is a tough one. I don't think wins over Cerrone and Masvidal - two guys that could still fight at LW and would probably be best at home at a 165 division - will do much to boost Woodley's chances.

This Brooks dude is maximum hyped and was at the weigh ins yesterday as well. Interesting to see how he fights
Not a chance. He has too many losses that he never won back and he only has two title defenses, one draw and one of the worst title fights in years. He's very good, but even if GSP comes back and loses to him it doesn't make Woodley the best ever. If Woodley fights till he's 40 and keeps the title then we can have a discussion about it, but most likely he just hit his stride too late to be considered the best.

Have prelims started? Logged into Fox Sports Go, and prelim is just showing commentators talking, but I thought fights started at 6 CST?
Fight Pass prelims are on now, top of the hour are the "televised" prelims on FXX

It's been a while for Curran, right? I don't recall her last fight
Kailin Curran is as gatekeeper as it gets for the division. WME-IMG wants this to be an Albu showcase.

Yep she's a major major prospect. Let's see if she can deliver

That guard pull by Albu was one of the dumber things I've seen in a UFC fight in a minute.
That shit don't work at the top of the game unless you are a naaaaasty BJJ practitioner / very very good guard.
Most UFC level people aren't getting subbed that often in full guard anymore

Really fun first round.
Albu is strong as fuck, though her fight IQ seems highly questionable

Albu/Curran has been the best fight of these prelims so far. They are just kicking each others ass.
