secondly - its nearly here

blank for copy paste

Faber v Saenz

Holloway v Stephens

Maia v Nelson

Jacare v Romero

Weidman v Rockhold

Aldo v McGregor

 

my picks

Faber v Saenz

Holloway v Stephens

Maia v Nelson

Jacare v Romero

Weidman v Rockhold

Aldo v McGregor

[When Jokers Attack]

Faber v Saenz - Faber is always a safe pick unless he is up against a top 5 fighter

Holloway v Stephens - Speed and movement for the decision.

Maia v Nelson  - I'm struggling to pick with this one, it depends where it ends up, Gunner on the feet but I hope it goes to the ground to see how he does against Maia.

Jacare v Romero - submission or decision and he will finally get that title shot. Romero is dangerous though.

Weidman v Rockhold - Decision in what should be an epic fight.

Aldo v McGregor - I'm not as confident in picking Aldo as I was when the first fight got rescheduled, I rewatched Aldo/Mendes and noticed how much he got hit.  McGregor's straight left has put everyone away so I wonder if Aldo will take it to the ground where McGregor will be at a disadvantage or just fuck him up with those leg kicks but every time he throws a kick, McGregor will counter. I'll say submission win for Aldo.

 

How do we see Edgar/Mendes going? I'm picking Edgar.

Yeah I know Maia will probably end up favourite in the betting, he bores me to tears, and I actually enjoy watching a good BJJ guy at work. I'd like to see Gunnar get a win.

And yeah, I think Edgar will win.

[When Jokers Attack]

So Rousey has gave her first interview and she isn't changing camps and if she doesn't win she will be "done with everything". 

Rockhold got a haircut on the latest episode of embedded which means he will lose haha, every fighter that gets a haircut on embedded loses their fight (beards and hotels don't count).

This is why Rhonda lost it seems. Well, the fight winning punch. Early in R1.

Says it may be 6 months before she can eat properly. 

[When Jokers Attack]

She lost because she faced a better fighter who  exposed how bad she is on the feet. None of us realised how poor her stand up was until she fought Holm though. I always said Holm would win the fight on the feet but it wouldn't last long because Rousey woul get her down with the first clinch and it would be over, just like every other fight.  With Rousey being out for long, Miesha Tate should get the next crack, instead of putting the division on hold for a year, Rousey ain't champion now and I think she should take extended time off and not rush back.

 

press conference going down tonight with Aldo/McGregor, let the antics begin.

 

 

 

[metallimuse]

Was reading an article today that Holm's camp been told by UFC there's no plan for her to defend until UFC200, basically they don't want her fighting anyone until Ronda's back...proper bullshit.

[When Jokers Attack]

Her manager has requested for fight with Miesha Tate as Holm wants to stay active.

If McGregor knocks out Aldo, will they put McGregor on hold for a year for a rematch? Don't think so.

[When Jokers Attack]

Not much to report from that presser. McGregor seems like a different person, maybe it's the weight cut or maybe he has grown tired of the trash talking gimmick.

Or maybe hes shitting himself?

[t8yman]

Weight cuts are fucking nasty, and he cuts a lot of weight. but I'm happy to go with "shitting himself"!

Jack Slack's breakdown of Aldo/Mcgregor

[metallimuse]

Great article!

Totally agree with the first part,the fact you can't call it has made it an immense prospect.

I'm saying Aldo in the second out of nowhere or McGregor in the fourth after Aldo has gassed out.Both with the ref stepping in to stop.

[DomDom1984]

I'd go with a gun to the head guess on Aldo by submission, but this is so close to call.

[t8yman]

Thug Rose was sublime. Her gameplan was perfect, but damn Paige is tough - which we kind of already knew. Seeing her weeping a bit at the presser was awful. Putting that much pressure on her was unfair.

Sage can get fucked with his "Mr White" and his "Fightpass is awesome" bullshit.

[When Jokers Attack]

Ferguson vs Barboza was nuts.

Frankie Edgar by knockout, who would have thought that?

 

 

[Uncle Liam]

I'd like to think Jose Aldo by KTFO

or five round beatdown

[metallimuse]

Unfucking believable. If you check my Twitter I said Aldo looked nervy on the walk in and called McGregor but didn't expect THAT!Not quite sure if I feel short changed or impressed...

[Uncle Liam]

Well I was right about the KTFO bit...

[When Jokers Attack]

I am still fucking raging Jacare lost but well done McGregor and I don't mean to keep doubting him but if Aldo don't get a rematch (due to bullshit ufc politics) then Edgar will beat him. He may prove me wrong again though.

 

 

[DomDom1984]

Edgar remains the big test for McGregor as he's always been. Terrific stuff though.

Aldo always looks "focussed" during the walkout etc, but damn that was off the charts

me too on Jacare, I fucking hate Romero - the cheating, god-bothering c**t.

 

I wonder if McGregor would be a possibility for London in Feb? Maybe against Frankie. Might mean a change to a numbered UFC and a time change.

[Andre91]

Awesome stuff. Croke Park could well be on the cards now.

Yes London. The card in Feb doesn't have a headline fight confirmed yet.
