So is this happening? All the sites are reporting it but Spencer isn't aware of it.

Quite possible. I just give the edge to Tavares based upon the speed advantage I think he has, and the likelihood he will be able to translate that into a successful strategy.However, like I stated, I love both guys and win or lose I always root for them, so this a tough one for me to watch.Good luck to both, hope the best fighter wins.

This whole card is starting to look stacked as fuck!!! I guess that makes sense given the amount of brazilions on the payroll. I say Belfort vs. Bisping and this card would be complete.
