Looks like the best card ever, to me.
Would have been happy to pay much more than the prices for 200 to see this card. Figured the tickets for this would be stupid expensive, so didn't even try for them, and regretting that with every bit of media I view  |

Could see the dogs winning every fight.
I am sweet on Tyron Gastelum and Weidman on the mains and for the good of the sport i hope eddie absolutely smashes Mcgregor to bits. Sick to death of him his padded record and his plastic fans. |

Tim "Salty" Kennedy v Rashad Evans is now OFF
However Lol at McGregors "padded" record - Porier, Holloway, Mendes and some brazilian called Aldo.... I like Gastelum -Cerrone was like a video game in his last fight but as long as Gastelum gets his weight cut right I think he will be just too big for the Cowboy. Weidman looked off the pace against Rockhold and the rumours are that USDA new testing is causing him problems so I think Romero is value against him. Plus I also like (at the prices) Johnson to upset Khabib..... hes been off for 2 years, had a warm up fight against a relative no hoper but Johnson needs to put up or shut up after his outbursts... |

I'm loving MJ's odds i got 3.75 outright. khabib is a grappling machine but he's been out so long.. he didn't throw any punches in his comeback fight vs which makes me think he's a bit tentative there. MJ's speed and TDD could create opening's for him. obviously khabib is undefeated and you can't count him out but the odds are off here. MJ is on a heater and he looks to be finally putting his skillset together. he has the potential to be champ but he's inconsistant and his mentality acn be questionable at times ala the nate diaz fight.
I like cowboy here, gastelum is a slow starter and finds it hard to live up to his potential, he's had a few setbacks now where he should of won ala magny fight. he clearly beat hendricks although big rig has looked a shadow of his former self of late. cowboy constantly surprises me and i have picked against him the last couple fights, but I just can't look past his ridiculous performance vs story, he is a rare type of fighter especially at the age of 33 who's skill-set doesn't plateau unlike most. his sheer amount of experience is a big advantage against the comparatively green kelvin. kelvin also get's rocked more than cowboy which could be trouble as cerrone's striking is pinpoint accurate. kelvin is only 25 though and we will likely see an much improved version of him. hard fight to call but Im leaning cowboy. kelvin could also struggle with the weight cut which is a coincidence as that's what caused cowboy to move up and have this mini resurgence at WW. |

Well, that was a lively presser
 Only bet I've had is a treble on the 3 champs, and a single now on Eddie @ 6/4 I like Johnson, but I'd hardly call losing 2 of his last 3 a heater, however, his performance was superb against Poirier, and I'd prob go for the dog in this situation, too. Will just enjoy the Cowboy fight, and hope to see some more Matrix ****. |

Cerrone vs Gastelum has been scrapped.... Gastelum failed to make weight by 10lbs !!

hope they can get a replacement, masvidal maybe? that would be a good fight
|

By:
props to jim miller for taking the fight with alves, he's going to be at a big disadvantage now, since thiago missed weight so badly

here's the weigh ins:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoaKWb0XTAY I'm pumped for this one fella's it's going to be crazy, weidman romero I can't make up my mind on, keep switching between both, wonderboy's going to pick woodley appart, no way woodley can go 5 rounds especially on the feet. he might be able to hold wonderboy down but his takedowns are overated and he prefers to work the clinch. 100% forgot about frankie vs jeremy too, that's the most overlooked fight on this card by a longshot, frankie could well dance rings around stephens but you never know with jeremy he has that fight changing power and heart for days like frankie, could be an all out war right there!! |

Dissapointing no Cerrone/Gastelum.Cerrone was on about trying to get Damian Maia to step up.
Correct Timmy i don't like Connor but i think he beats Eddie. I want Eddie to win so bad but can only see him shipping a ton of damage.Connor will be elusive using all those kicks to upset Eddies rythmn and capitalise on every single mistake.Even if Eddie takes Connor down I don't think he will be able to keep him down for very long. Eddie does have a good record against southpaws and the 13/2 (lads) for him to win by ko/tko I thought was to big GU ON EDDIE! |

im I think JJ wins just not sure about playing that price, kk's too slow for her, and much better at range but this fight will be most interesting in the clinch, this could be matt brown vs tim means esque with elbows galore, we could be in for an all out war if the fight stays there.
I think that's kk's best chance to win, maybe try for a take down or 2 in the close rounds as jj is vulnerable to td's but a lot of chicks have gassed by taking her down, she seems to be better at getting up from the bottom against the cage than she is at TDD, it just seems a lot easier for her build, which is a pretty clever tactic as she's faced so many grapplers. but if jj can be the aggressor she will find that chin that kk leaves high when moving backwards and also when she's reckless moving into close quarters to work her elbows. I fully expect jj to come out of the gate quick as kk seems a little bit of a slow starter, may play the over as both are very durable and don't seem to get hurt or cut much, jj seems a bit more muscular her last couple fights too, should be a fun fight. |
|
By:
I wonder if KK has a submission up her sleeve or something we haven't seen but I expect a massacre in that fight.JJs world class muay thai against an inexperienced fighter.I can't see KK holding JJ down if she even gets a td.
Many times we see fighters perform like we have never seen when facing their toughest ever opponent so I hope I am wrong because I like KK. Had to have another trixie after Kelvin couldn't stop eating doughnuts so put Luque(thought he should be fav in that one)along with Wiedman and T-Wood. |
|
By:
Interesting that Gabe Killian (mma odds breaker/mma roasted)a pretty good mma tipster imo fancies KK for the upset and also fight of the night.

I wouldn't rule out a sub but think it's unlikely, I might play it tiny if i can get matched, but I think both of there ground game's are underrated tbh

khabib sub is 6.5 at w1ll1amh1ll had to take a stab at that.

Johnson has been susceptible in the past

good fights so far,
great to see jim miller get the win after alves missed weight and have a size advantage, fun fight. wow I knew belal relied on his chin a lot but I thought it would hold a bit longer than that lol |
|
By:
This like the bear scene in the revenant
|
|
By:
it did haha, khabib is unrivalled with his grappling, his chin is worrying though, what a beatdown after the 1st takedown, not seen a more 1 sided fight than that for a while... nailed that khabib sub bet though!
|

By:
edgar is so damn tough, amazing to think he's never been KO'd or subebd and he's getting on a bit. don't think he would of won that fight if it was a 5 rounder though.

By:
good call Khabib sub.
Frank got a chin. Meisha losing this fight |

I hugely overestimated miesha, I was big on her pre fight then went even bigger on rocky in round 2 on the exchange.

Romero mega dangerous in this 1st round.
