UFC 203 Overeem vs Miocic

I'm tmepted to play rivera over faber, and definitely andrade over calderwood, plus I got a ton on gall to win in last leg parley's. I just can't see punk winning,

:he's never fought he's 38
:he's not that athletic,
:he's only been training 2 years properly, maybe not even that much since he had back surgery that required rehab.
:he looks terrible in his training videos,
:from what i understand he's suffered multiple concussions in his wwe career, not to mention the added injuries sustained from all that time wrestling.

gall

:looks good so far despite his limited experience (5-0 including amateur fights i think)
:has a huge age advantage,
:has a very legit ground game, he's grappled at a pretty high lvl in jiu jitsu tournies
:trains with dan/joe miller's gym, so he has some very credible coaches.
:knockout power in his hands
:likely better in all areas of mma

and all that's just of the top of my head. I'd be amazed if he loses.

not sure who I'm picking for the HW title fight yet.. im edging stipe but it really could go either way.

I can't see how CM Punk can win. Will cheer him on as it's a very brave move but surely he fails? Came across as a decent guy in documentary following his training but didn't look too good.

Fancy Stipe to win - that clean knockout running backwards was outrageous.

Would go with Faber - no disgrace to lose again to Cruz, still emerged with a lot of credit.

Couldnt help myself, 4/5 Gall to win in Round 1, Punk just looks like someone who has just been picked off the streets

yeah I got a bit on that too, great value.

good podcast about the mentality of combat sports from punk and gall's perspective, made me even more confident about gall.

punk did look good at the weigh ins, gall looked pissed when his handshake attempt got ignored lol.

overeem apparently been working on his ground game and clinch work a lot in training also I hear.

andrade 1st round sub. can't say im surprised but regret not putting more on her

gutted for jojo but her best chance was to keep it standing

gall to win in round 1 at 1.9 looks good

what i like better tho is Mickey Gall - By KO TKO or Disqualification OR Submission 1.5 this has to be a gift from the gods no way cm goes the distance

fabers leg is ****

kick in the balls and not gets poked in the eye lol dirty faber

now gets poked in eye**

hahahaha cant believe dana let him used this walk out song

i thought dana told hom he wasnt allowed to use it hahaha funny stuff

mickey u so fine song haha

big payday for punk then send him back to fake wwe

gall shoots straight away

bye bye pink back to wwe

punk*  and thank u betvictor for 1.5 odds hahaha

well that went as expected lol

im up £900 on that one :)

kinda feel bad for punk though hah

alot of people up after that fight as expected big payday for punk and sent on his way

credit to punk tho he has balls to take this fight

for sure, at his age even more so

honestly don't think he's doing it for the money though.

loving gall calling out sage hahaha

tbh he lasted longer than I thought, and even got out of 1 choke attempt

sage gall has to happen now

yeh i think gall could have finished him any route he wanted tho but he went for the sub

hes a millionaire already so probs not about the money but hes a white belt and only got into ufc purely on his name power

said hes not done dunno who he would fight next green power ranger maybe? hahhaha

i like the look of travis odds only thing putting me off is he just thought not that long ago against cain

sub was much easier for him I guess, punk has big arms that cover his head pretty well to stop gnp.

yea being friends with dana didn't hurt either.

yes green power ranger vs punk! that was the fight to make here tbh.. maybe tommy didnt want to do it!

whats u bettin on in this 1 mate browne or werdum?

no lean here really.  tiny on werdum but a bit wary due to his KO loss recently

wow flying side kick from werdum **** me

the ****? he quit!

what happened to his hand? looks in pain yet hes gonna keep going wow

i thought he was stoppin the fight there didnt know u could do that for an injury confused

dislocated his finger

browne defo injured that hand might as well stop the fight hes doing nothing

yeah that's not allowed at all, that should of been stopped there..

edmund is cracking me up lol he lost his voice shouting at travis so much

weird fight for sure though

edmunds a terrible boxing coach really shocked ronda didnt get rid of him after holm fight

wtf werdum trying to fight with edmund wtf

oO

sore winner there werdum wtf lol

i rewinded it to see wtf happened looked like edmund was taling sh1t to him and werdum just kicked him hahaha

lets see how the reems glass chin gold up in this 1 LOL

holds*

gotta love it! edmund deserved it he's a ****, nearly woke my flatmate up laughing at that ^^

hes a little sh1t always talks sh1t to people edmund

YES ALISTAR! the pride music

better than mickey galls walkout music hah

yeh dana told him no way at first but people on twitter were giving him stick for saying no and he let him use it lol madness

miocic looks as calm as can be either than or he has a very good poker face lol

that*

hahaha overeem basically running then boom tags him

overeems glass chin crumbles again haha no shock there

miocic saved my ass there just made even

wow, lights completely out.. damn miocic has a good chin! not as skilled as alistar technically but more powerfull punches better cardio, better chin, that was damn impressive!

and still the baddest man on the planet! miocic vs velasquez next pls!

epic fight overeems a monster but that glass chin lets him down again

i didnt expect overeem to do as much running away as he did

Miocic is like a version of cain and jds mixed very scary

oh sh1t overeem saying when he had the choke he thought Miocic tapped and he let it go

cant see any tap on replay

nah, maybe it kinda felt like a tap at the start from the one angle. but it certainly wasn't. plus his head probably isn;t that clear right now lol. amazing really at his age, with the 50+ pro mma fights and god knows how many kickboxing fights, street fights etc that he's still able to take stipe's punches for that long. a bit sad he lost as I met him in thailand last year, and he was chill as **** and really cool. ah well at least I won money, best night ever for me in mma actually!

if he didnt have a poor chin he would have a great chance a miocic, but like when the iceman ko'ed him and even the beast badri hari his chin let him down, hes a beast and won world titles everywere k1 pride strikeforce nothing really left to prove if im honest

yeah amazing career, that chuck fight was great lol, chucks chin back then was insane just took overeems shots, getting owned until he gassed out from the exertion lol...then crack!

if he had prime chuck's chin he'd be champ right now lol

if he had big countrys chin he be champ haha

big country's chin comes with a built in obsession with burger king though, reem would be 300lbs + if he had it. nelson would be at light heavyweight without it :P

Post-fight Press Conference live

2 great fights next week, derek brunson vs uriah hall + poirier vs michael johnson. no idea about the rest of the card

damn you! I was literally about to go to bed but now I have to watch the whole press conference lol

haha yeh :P

always love watch uriah hall fighting looking forward to seeing him bang always looks for a crazy amazing finish lie his spinning hook kick in TUF hahaha

how about edmund v cm punk hahaha

get it booked danan LOL

hall is possible champ material, but he hasn't fought in like a year, the fight with whitaker was awesome, unbelievable chin on both guys. interested to see how he performs post usada.

I would pay a lot of money to see that fight haha, punk could actually win that maybe!
