Till makes weight at 169....what’s he weigh now? 182? How bout fight time....190?
Agree with Ras...T-wood has TONS of power, but if dicks around (like he’s been known to do), size and length favors Till.
I’ll be interesting if T-Wood comes to bang...but Till comes to decision win....as part of his decision tactic, Till could pick him apart.

Who is going to pay for this one? One title fight featuring the champ who bored everyone to death (Woodley: owner of record for least punches thrown in a five round title defense) in his last two fights and then four fights that would barely raise an eyebrow on a Fight Night event. WTF. Watered down is putting it mildly. I guess Dana White's opinion of Woodley's draw is so low now that he's not going to waste any good matchups on this event. If Woodley gets knocked out, we can only hope there's a camera on Dana to catch the expression on his face as the welterweight class turns back into a moneymaker.
I’m buying, stoked on this card & a big Till fan...not too mention Zabit, Karolina, Dodson & Sterling should be good fights

Well congrats to Woodley. I agree with neckdeep, not a big fan. But he got it done
I didnt pay for the event either, was not that stoked on the card. watched some of it at the bar. Real nice K.O. by Andrade in the "co" main event, that was a pretty exciting fight. Less than 1 round though. And the Zabit fight was boring before that
We were going to order it, but the wife got off work late.
Prelim fights were really entertaining though.
I was very relieved to be wrong about that fight, I much prefer decisive victories to decisions, especially in championship fights.Quote:

Rumble Johnson used to kill himself cutting to welterweight, but he was at his best once he fought with more meat on his bones.
Pretty good night of fights in my opinion, but yeah the PPV could of been better...figured since I’ve already paid 3x as much in fees & shit for the McGregor/Khabib fight fuck I’ll order it lol.
Till broke my heart but definitely a Woodley fan now. Felt bad for Karolina, how the fuck does a 5’1” 115lb chick generate that much power? Crazy!
There were some bloody brawls on the prelims that were pretty entertaining. Two kneebars in one night was kinda nuts too, think they said there had only been one other knee bar in all of UFC history?!
In Russia next weekend...
Yeah, that was shocking. Of course, Andrade used to fight at bantamweight.Quote:

Jones is back, I feel bad for DC, he's gonna get beat up one last time by Jones to end his career.....terrible IMO
Hope D.C.'s ego isn't more powerful than his greed. Green for the money; fight Brock and shut'er down.Quote:

My money’s on Khabib.
Numagomedov vs McGregor is really intriguing, Khabib tends to rush in, which is tailor made for Connor's counter punching, but if Khabib gets a hold of him, Connor is going to get all the sass ground out of him. I really hope for the latter.
McGregor seemed a bit strident at the press conference; I think he's nervous, he even qualified his prediction of a first round KO, saying that he'd been wrong before (thank you Nate Diaz).
Holy shit 😳

Hopefully this is not fake news
Not even surprised that Nate Diaz doesn't know how to spell "division"
Now I officially can’t follow UFC decisions.
They are literally one too many!
I'm never not puzzled by the affinity for the Diaz brothers. Sure they come to fight, but they're both mid-tier (maybe bottom of top tier) fighters.
Their fights aren't particularly exciting. They get knock outs, but it's like death by a thousand cuts rather than a Rumble Johnson/T-Wood devastation. They're versatile, but a poor man's version of Jones or Dillashaw. There's prolly 10-15 fighters in their own weight classes I'd rather watch.
And their schtick is getting old: we're gangsta and smoke weed...fuck Dana...blah blah blah. It's not even fun anymore...just sad. Maybe if they practiced and fought as much as they smoke weed and talk shit, one of them could have been champ by now.
I don't think there's too many divisions; I wouldn't mind if they made divisions:
Flyweight 125 lb
Bantamweight 135 lb
Featherweight 145 lb
Lightweight 155 lb
Welterweight 165 lb
Super Welter. 175 lb
Middleweight 185 lb
Light Heavyweight 200lb
Heavyweight 250lb
It adds one...but, to me, they make more sense this way. 15 pound jump b/c, if you're gonna have "heavyweight" in the name of the title, you should at least weigh something. 250 b/c, past that, aside from Brock Lesnar, they are just slow, fat slobs that gas by the end of the first round.
Bellator 206 this Saturday, stoked to see Rory McDonald vs Gegard Mousasi in the main event!! Rampage Jackson vs Wanderlei Silva could be good, or it could be two old guys staggering around for 15 minutes lol...
when can start talking about next weekend?!?! Leaving for Vegas Friday morning & hoping the line for the weigh ins isn't 20,000 deep, not sure my liver can take another fight weekend in Vegas but gonna give it a go anyway :D
Always like seeing the Red King fight...I wish he woulda stayed in UFC; he just didn't match up well with Lawler. Two of the best fights you'll ever see though. But Mousasi might be a bit too large for him. Should be a good one!!!Quote:

Has anyone seen the Quintet matches? Great BJJ action.
No gi, sub only, king-of-the-mat style team-based tournament. 5 per team, no individual weight classes, but the entire team has a cumulative weight limit. You enter a lineup for your fighters, and you’re pitted against another teams lineup. You win, you fight the next in the line. At the end of time, if there is no sub, both fighters are eliminated from that round.

I can't believe how bad Rory McDonald looked against Gegard, terrible....Rampage still got some power in them hands though huh. Greg Hardy is the real deal too, time to give that man a real venue...
