Damn I can't wait for this one. It's been a while since a guy from TUF really made it to the top of his division. Rooting for Drinaldo a lot.

Well Drinaldo was fighting at 155 before TUF so it's only natural he goes back.

Tibau by decision is always the safest pick for his fights as long as hes not fighting a top guy. Should be interesting to see Tibau in a fight with someone his size.

@die everytime Tibau fights we've gotten to see a MW at LW, dude is huge. He gets to fight someone his own size for once.

I was praying for this fight just to see the two biggest lightweights in the UFC square off. Seriously, we all know Tibau is huge for LW and Drinaldo is huge as well and competed at MW on TUF: Brazil

@ cal1 yeah that's what I meant by "middleweight fight in the lightweight division" should have wrote take place or so maybe.

Anyways this is Drinaldo at 185

Prediction: wrong Trinaldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

For some reason, as long as Drinaldo has a good cut, I feel this could be the upset of the card. Drinaldo's stand up is pretty damn good and if Nurmagomedov can bully Tibau around, Drinaldo definately can.

Drinaldo is a little wild if he feels his opponent wavering, is the only thing I worry about.

Tibau's wrestling and experience gets him an easy, but uneventful win
