Yeah mate, he looks great for 21! It's just Hall's speed which sets himapart. Andrews has plenty of experience but he was getting hit before he blinked, and the last bloke to charge Hall got his eye socket ruined (Bubba) - made it real tough for Dylan. I hope Kelvin gives him a good fight but I just think hall's got the mind now to go with his physical attributes...

Anyone watch UFC on Fox from the weekend?
I missed the Facebook Prelims, apparently some good fights among them! The main card was pretty cool. Up and coming UFC debutante in Cormier, taking Mir to the judges and winning on points (30-27 unanimously). Good to see that Mir didnt get KOd, dude looked in great shape, but Cormier way too strong in the clinch.
Nate Diaz getting knocked the F@#$ OUT was insane. Dude's got a head like a wall, and can take a lot of knocks, but that head-kick from Thompson was brutal! First time that Diaz has been STOPPED! Yep, FIRST DAMN TIME! Like I said, a head like a wall!
I was glad that Benson Henderson retained his belt, never a fan of UFC debutantes coming in for a title shot and taking a win. Sure Melendez has a great track record, but he needs to prove a bit more (IMO) in the UFC.

Really?
Heading into this fight Melendez was 21-2, never KO'ed, never submitted, against some of the top lightweights in MMA. He hadn't lost since 2008, and both of his losses he avenged. And all that with a forward moving aggressive style.
What more did he have to prove?
Don't forget this was also a title unification with the Strikeforce strap.
I think taking Benson to a split decision, in what many called the closest title fight in years, showed he was more than worthy of the fight.

Hey strangers. 
Who's watching 159 live?
My picks, at least for who I want to win, but not necessarily who I think will win -
Healy def Miller
Davis def Magalhaes
Nelson def Kongo
Belcher def Bisping (please god, please)
Sonnen def Jones
Oh and I have a whole bunch of Topps UFC Finest to sell. I'll sort it out and post it at some point... (slack bastard)
