Dont write off Manuwa so easily.

Aldo and McGregor go at it again. McGregor and Cowboy too.

I think McGregor had had a bit too much pre-workout before that press conference, he was at it with pretty much everyone there, crazy stuff.

I'm a McGregor fan but poor form for the little head butt on Aldo

[When Jokers Attack]

According to Cowboy he was speaking away to Chad backstage before it started and said fuck all to Cowboy. It's all just show for the cameras but it works so good on him.

McGregor was on top form all weekend, from his media scrum and interviews to the Go Big event, he was full of himself but it works for him and I still enjoy watching it. If he beats Aldo he will be impossible to keep quiet. He said in one of his interviews that he thinks he will be doing a stadium show April-May time, then headline UFC 200 in July. If McGregor won the title, defended against the winner of Frankie-Chad, maybe in Croke Park, then against Aldo at UFC 200, and won all 3 fights then I could see him go up a division. I don't see him moving up until he answers 'The Answer' question (had to check he still uses the nickname ) as long as Frankie gets past Chad.

Mighty Mouse looking good again. Better than the last Dobson fight for him.

[daniel.k]

Mighty Mouse seems unstopable, but I would like Dodson to win. Dont think he will but would be good. MM on points

I take Arlovski, 2nd round KO/TKO

Rumble first round KO

VanZant TKO

Ross Pearson on the undercard to win as well hopefully

 

Picked all winners, nearly right method and round for Rumble. Havent seen any of the fights just seen the results, but Ill try see highlights soon. Cant wait to get back to uni and have faster internet to actually see some fights.

[t8yman]

Mighty mouse's dominance is his biggest enemy. He is streets ahead of anyone else in the world, and is only a white belt at BJJ. Imagine if he gets better? But the main issue is that it simply isnt exciting to watch.

 

Does the lack of mention of Linekers fight mean people didnt watch the prelims? Jesus that was a hell of a battle. And Ross Pearson was the best I have ever seen him.

 

Mir and Arlowski was a disappointment, Rumble and Manuwa went exactly to plan - if a little longer than we thought.

 

main card wasnt that entertaining tbh, prelims were better as a set.

If MM gets even better, he probably wont be able to show it unless he is against better opposition as well. Looking at Bantamweight, I dont know if any top 10 fighter could/would drop down and challenge MM. Dillashaw-MM would be a good champion vs champion fight, but I dont think Dillashaw would get down or want to go down, so Johnson would have to go up, which would open loads of new fights anyway. Dodson is the closest to Mighty Mouse, and even he is still a way off. I think if there was someone closer to MM's level, his fights might be a bit more entertaining. I just dont see it happening any time soon.

 

I heard the prelims were quite good, didnt see any fights but heard 100 punches in 2 minutes for the Lineker fight

[When Jokers Attack]

Mighty Mouse won't be moving up until he breaks the record for most title defenses. I think he would beat TJ but not sure about Cruz. Mainly because we haven't seen much of Cruz in the last 4 years. I do think we will get TJ/Cruz early next year.

He and Ronda stand to break Silva's record, they have it the easiest with their competition not being as strong. I think TJ would beat MM, and cant wait to see Cruz-TJ. Saw a recent interview with TJ saying Cruz is the fight he wants to wait for, so hopefully Cruz wont need another warm up fight and the big fight happens straight away. Dont know how far off Cruz is from being able to train fully, but hope the fight happens within the first 6 months of 2016

[daniel.k]

Cruz - Dillashaw hopefully lined up for January 17th on Fox Sports 1, as long as there are no injuries. Really thought that fight would have been a PPV headliner, the return of the bantamweight king who never lost his crown against the new champion. Guess more views on free TV is worth more, dont know how the american TV system works with all the Fox and Fox sports cards

[When Jokers Attack]

Also Pettis/Alvarez targeted for that card. Awesome fights. We are getting spoiled with fights in December/January.

According to Alvarez its official now, yeah its a lot of good cards in a small space, from november to january we get good fights. February might be slow, but March could be Heavyweight title. A lot of good fights in one concentrated period, hope it doesnt mean a month without any good fights

[When Jokers Attack]

Nick Diaz suspended for five years for not sucking up to the comission, the whole thing is a farce.

 

[The Nal]

5 years for smoking weed?! Silva, 1 year for 3 banned substances!

 

Err.... ok.

[daniel.k]

Agreed, the commission is out of their mind for giving him 5 years. One of them wanted Diaz to be banned for life...its madness

[t8yman]

Its criminal. And intended to entirely crush dissent. Thats a career ender for someone with a lower profile.

 

He needs to appeal.

Think he is appealing on multiple grounds, his legal team said something about the NSAC misinterpreting the 5th amendment, it got funny after a while with Nick just saying 'The fifth amendment' repeatedly, as well as other tests Nick took were clean. The commission are just flexing their muscles and showing what they can do because Nick has been in front of them a few times and they arent happy. Doubt the UFC will do anything about it or back Nick's appeal, but they should.

[When Jokers Attack]

Good on Ronda for speaking out

Also Henry Cejudo he will not be fighting in Nevada because of this. He could potentially be next in line for a shot at Mighty Mouse if he wins his next fight.

Saw that last night. bravo to Cejudo for making a stand, and also for RRR for using her high profile status to make a great point.

[When Jokers Attack]

Jojo vs PVZ for December fight night card!

[t8yman]

Thats not gonna end well for JoJo I'm afraid. And I'm a fan.

[DomDom1984]

Fuck sake. That's a mauling.

[t8yman]

I really like JoJo, but I kind of look at her in a "little sister" kinda way, and whilst I know she's nails, she ain't a contender at the top level. Looks to me like zuffa are just throwing people under the bus on the way to PVZ's title shot. I know PVZ is a continuously surprising young fighter, and I like her a lot, but UFC want her as champion, shes even more bankable than RRR potentially. However, I think Joanna champ will fuck her up, shes something else.

[DomDom1984]

Aye, she ain't getting past whatsername. But she's a terrific fighter.
