Great card. Miocic can be dangerous if he stays striking. Going to the floor with Cormier is never good. Costa is on the juice, but Romero is tough. I hope Pettis levels Diaz.
if DC can keep his fingers out of peoples eyes, Stipe wins this go....
Yoel is a bad dude, but hes getting really old, so we will see...
Nate should tune Pettis up, then most likely submit him... Diaz doesnt and never has had knockout power, kinda like Holloway, but the sheer volume of his strikes is what breaks people down.... just ask McNugget....

It's gonna be a tough call between Diaz and Pettis. Diaz has got the cardio and volume but Pettis hits a lot harder now at welterweight. We shall see how pettis's glass hands hold up. DC needs his fingers taped back that dirty Fvck. If Miocic can keep it standing and keep his chin tucked I think he can take this one. Romero and Costa is either going to a decision or somebody's going to sleep. None the less, this card is stacked.
Fvck McNugget, I'd love to choke the lucky charms out that leprechaun.
Pettis has power, but Nate has a chin carved of diamond...
both of them are LETHAL off their backs however...
but, Nate has a reach advantage, and has a solid 1-2 jab sequence that he constantly throws, and no one can stop it... thats where he wears people down till they do something stupid...
then its game over...

Cormier vs miocic 2 Pettis vs Diaz Romero vs Costa
Is this pay per view ?

Cormier vs miocic 2 Pettis vs Diaz Romero vs Costa
As much as I like Cormier, I gotta go with Stipe. He's hungry, and want's his belt back.
If the fight stays on the feet, I'd go with Pettis. Diaz is an awesome boxer, but Pettis has got a whole bag full of tricks, including a very damaging lower leg kick, which he will no doubt use with great frequency. Best bet for Diaz is taking him down and abusing him, or go for a submission. Also going to depend on Pettis's cardio..can he last 5 rounds with Diaz constantly in his face?
I'll have to wait and read the results, 'cause I'm not about to pay the ransom they want for the PPV, plus I can watch the fight on YouTube within an hour of the fight...
He slapped Connor like a b!tch,the dude is entertaining,he goes to war,and he has mad boxing skills and a chin of iron,plus his ground game is legit. He won't be a pushover I don't care if he has had a 10 year layoff,all the Diaz brothers do is train. They live it.
I like Cormier in the main event. I think he KO's Miocic again.
Diaz is a really good boxer, throws some nice quick combo's.

He starts off slow but when he starts putting it together he could just give about anybody problems.
Stipe gets it done. Cormier gassed and couldn't take those rips to the body. Well done. Time for Cormier to hang it up, we don't need to see a cormier vs jones 3.
yeah Romero got robbed.. god that guy is a monster at 42 years old...
Diaz, what a great performance... by both of them actually... you can see just how elite his Jiu Jistu is... plus he keeps getting better.. the Masvidal fight that should happen next, will be even better than this one...
Stipe, i like the guy more and more every time i watch him fight... hopefully this ended DC's arrogance about who is the GOAT... cuz it sure as sh!t never was him....

Nate Diaz after a 3 year layoff proved that he is an elite fighter and I predict this is his time. He's my favorite fighter at the moment,been a fan for years. I wasn't sure what would happen during the romero costa fight , that finger in the eyes deal didn't look fun. DC got beat.
UFC 242..7 days.. How do you guys see this Khabib vs Poirier fight playing out? All I gotta say is Dustin better keep it standing and keep some serious pressure on khabib or its gonna be a long night for 'The Diamond'.
Poirier can land bombs and has a good motor. But if it goes to the ground Khabib has the advantage. Poirier needs a good game plan to avoid rushes and takedown attempts by Khabib. The Poirier-Gaethje fight amazing but I don't see this one going that way. I'm pulling for Poirier, doubt it will go to decision.
I saw that this morning. At madison square garden no less. Glad to see Dana booking fights the people are asking for. I hope the rest of that card is good because I predict that to be fight of the year if all goes well.
Khabib takes it to the ground and Poirier is done for.
Khabib vs ferguson. End of story. Poirier should have known better. He got finished faster then the little leprechaun. Khabib let Poirier blow his arms out with that guillotine attempt long enough to gas him and slip to finish him off.
This Sat. Whittaker vs Adesanya. Who ya got. Izzys gonna need to bring some heavy pressure and use his reach advantage and kicks to keep Whittaker at bay. Israel might wanna pack his pillow for this one. He ain't ready for " The Reaper."
Diaz out of next weekends fight vs Masvidal, USADA said he tested positive for "elevated levels" of something from a possible tainted supplement...
Diaz is a vegan and very strict on his diet, and he is PISSED...
also, McNougat announced he will be fighting in January, and wont name the competitor, saying ask the UFC...
to me this sounds like its going to me McGregor vs Masvidal, McGregor is going to beat his ass, and set up a trilogy fight with Diaz, which will bring a ton more money.....
I was hoping that I would wake up and this would all be a dream. My boy Nate ain't no fvckin cheat. I'm really pulling for this fight to happen. There is too much money on the line for the organization to scratch this fight now. Not to mention that Dana White forked out 50,000 to have this BMF belt made. Look what happened with that fvckin snake Jon jones. He pissed hot on more than one occasion and Still got to fight.
Masvidal would give mcgreggor problems if that fight ever happened.
I'm standing with Diaz. He ain't no fvckin cheat. USADA needs to get there heads out there asses.

i wouldn't mind seeing Leon and Jorge settle their beef. Nate isn't technically suspended yet. So i ain't believing [Bleeeeep!] until I hear it straight from the ufc.

what i find odd, is that someone in the UFC told him to not say anything...
who was that, and why?
apparently its trace levels of SARM, which usually pops with tainted supplements...
Diaz is a weird cat with his diet, super strict, and consistent...
all this sh!t is weird...
he hasnt been suspended yet so i suppose it still could happen, but Diaz is pissed, as it is a mark against his whole career, and he has always been one of the loudest against steroid use... similar to Mark Hunt...
the UFC/USADA/NVAC pretty much has always hated the DIaz brothers, remember, Nick got banned for 5 years for smoking weed.... (was reduced, but still screwed everything up)
now it seems that with the loss of the money bag that McNougat made for them, they needed to leach off someone else, and that turned out to be Diaz...

Well that's annoying and confusing, just yesterday i was reading reports and watching videos that said differently via multiple sources including espn. It will be interesting how this all plays out. More questions then answers.
Leon Edwards is being payed to be in training camp to serve as a backup for this fight. It would be fvcked up for the ufc to pass on Edwards like that. That dude deserves it. He might not be an entertaining character but he's got the skills to back that up. Edwards would give masvidal one hell of a challenge. Mark my words.

That's what i read just yesterday as well. This makes about as much sense as there new pay per view platform
I offer you this. Two of nates teammates Jake Shields and Gilbert Milendez have pissed hot. So it would make one think. Anybody that knows the Diaz bros know that they are natural athletes and the only thing I see them pissing hot for is weed.
Never believe everything that comes from uncle Chael.
The ufc Isn't saying $hit because their too busy scrambling to make a fight or gettin to the bottom of the Nate [Bleeeeep!]. There is way to much money on the line for the organization. Usada doesn't make $hit public because they leave it to the organization and the fighters to spill the beans and make themselves look like asshats. If the ufc comes to Leon w enough dough to save the day, the dude will be there on fight day, make weight and give masvidal one hell of a scrap. He's game as Fvck and it makes sense.
Agreed and Nate is also stubborn as hell. They are running out of time. Better get it done asap . It's win win for me because if Nate and Jorge is called off I will go steelhead fishing a day earlier than planned,and if they do fight I'll be PUMPED!
Lol Askren is becoming a parody of himself. I'm stoked the fight is on. I gotta root for Nate Diaz,he's a Cali guy,west coast gangsta and the baddest motherfucker in the game.
That was a good card. The Till/Gastelum fight was utter garbage. The stoppage of Diaz/Masvidal was disappointing. But Masvidal was just more aggressive and effective. He had Nate in trouble early and often.

Biggest card of the year this weekend, CAN NOT WAIT!!! For those of you looking for alternative ways to view the ufc fights, and other events and not have to pay for them, check out cracked streams.
Any-who, three belts on the line, stacked card top to bottom, bunch of killers! This is gonna be good.
Covington is tough as nails. I had that fight dead even going into the 5th. Was disappointed in the Moraes / Aldo fight,and I didn't like seing my boy Faber get wrecked like that. But he had a great career and is a warrior. De Randamie gave Amanda more trouble than I expected to but Nunes is the GOAT. And I was gravely disappointed in Max Holloway. His leg is fkn hamburger.

If you don't enjoy watching a racist and a bigot getting his face knocked off...well, that probably makes you a racist and a bigot.
I thought it was rather wonderful.
Remember when Americans all thought it was a good idea to fight an entire fuckin world war on that premise?
The "Greatest Generation" is rolling over in its grave watching all the mouthbreathers fall all over themselves to support not only racist dictators overseas, but actually trying to install one here in the USA.
Know what I find funny? That Colby said Kamaru was going to be eating out of a straw after their fight. Lol... Colby got heart tho. His hands didn't look bad at all.
Cerrone is no joke, Mcgregor looks pretty jacked up. I am hoping Cowboy retires Leprechaun boy. That Conor is ranked still baffles me. I guess his last fight in the bar with the old man kept him in the top ten. Yeah Cowboy has the most wins in UFC history ,I hope he beats McGregor.
I'm impressed that this is of interest to some of you. I kinda' lost interest in it all when I learned as a youth that pro wrestling is fake. That was almost as bad as learning Santa Claus ain't real.
MMA is not WWE. Being locked in a octagon and getting ko'd or choked out is as real as it gets.
The reason I love the sport is watching these young, hungry up comers work so hard and train like crazy to be the best in the world. Khabib is a prime example. That guy works so damn hard, that's why he is one of the best lightweights ever. 28-0, who does that. If you don't have the right mindset, you're not gonna make it far.

jesus christ....
as much as i hate Connor, and love Cowboy, i think Connor is going to win... he is the hardest puncher in the UFC, as stated by many of them... the one thing Cowboy has going for him, is his submission game, that can spell trouble for Connor, but i just dont see it working this time... i hope i am wrong...

Nice troll job Salmo. Or,is it...
So my friend told me if Conor loses he retires. I disagree. I think if he loses 2,he definitely retires. How hungry is he? Rich McGregor isn't the same beast as hungry poor McGregor. I think he has something to prove and will make a showing of himself. Nate Conor 3 draws money so we may see that fight happen still. I still wanna see him get his ass humbled.

Help me out WP and tell me what does it mean to be "all in?" Avid thinks I'm trolling, but I'm not.

I don't get the appeal of MMA other than the basest reptilian instincts, which pretty much by definition can only bring out the basest in human behavior. Which according to psychologists is that the human subconscious reaction to seeing another human approaching from a distance is, "can that person kill me? If so, then fight or flight. If not, then maybe I will kill him. Or not." This all happens subconsciously, so we don't even think about it generally.

This is my favorite sport to watch and participate in. Tae Kwon do for 20 years, BJJ for twelve, Muay Thai for nearly six. If you don’t get it you don’t get it. That’s fine. Some guys like golfing instead of football too. To each there own. I like your posts and enjoy your pics hope this winter fishing is good to you.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that can be risky here on the DS. If I understand anything about the sports you participate in, it's about the physical and mental skill and not killing your opponent. Is that correct?
I really appreciated the technical skill of boxing and going one-on-one, as opposed to team sports. And I haven't lost that appreciation, but with brain damage being the logical outcome, I just made a conscious decision to no longer be a boxing fan. So I was already out of the loop when MMA and cage fighting became popular.
I love watching fights,ever since I was a kid. These guys now know what they signed up for,so if they are good with it,I am good with it.
Would your enthusiasm include watching gladiator fights to the death, so long as they knew what they signed up for? This being the DS and all, might as well see how dark some of the players are.
How old are ya war-paint? I am amazed by people like yourself that take care of your back and body for so long that you can continue practicing Mma well into a older age. How often do you train?

No. This is a highly regulated contest with stringent rules and excellent officiating. Many MMA fighters have gone one to have healthy lives and careers outisde of fighting. Gladiator matches with lions end up badly.Poor lions.
Not all boxers had brain damage. I hear you though. I remember the Boom Boom fight against Duk Koo Kim. So I understand your decision. I no longer follow boxing but at one time I was a huge fan of Hearns ,Ray Leonard,and Iron Mike Tyson.
Less than a week away. I watched an interview w/ Mcgreggor this morning. He looks and sounds more than ready. Cerrone isn't an easy task but Mcgreggor thinks it will be.
I like both fighters. McGregor has showed some focus and maturity lately, he is even a little humble and respects both Cowboy and the sport. Cowboy is a stud, just wants to battle with anybody, anytime. Then put on his hat and go home to his family. McGregor's best chance to win is early....first two rounds. If it goes later, Cerrone gets stronger. If Cerrone's kicks get through or it goes to the ground, this could be over early, but same if McGregor's left connects. Should be a good fight. The Holm-Pennington fight should be good too.

Bones tonight. I am curious how this goes. I know he's a scumbag. UFC needs guys like that lol
I got jones. Jon is way more well rounded and I'm sure has the greater gas tank. The only way Dominick gets it done is with some serious pressure and a lucky shot.
Let's see if Jon can play nice and keep his fvckin fingers out of people's eyes...lol
Looking forward to the shevchenko-chookagian and Lewis-latifi fights. I have a feeling Lewis is gonna catch latifi with a bomb.

That card was a bit lackluster,the girls fought a good fight,Lewis,who I think is great,was barely able to pull off the win. I really can't believe they gave that fight to Bones. And I was certain he would dominate but he was pretty lackluster.
I have zero interest in two bitches fighting that look like Dogs..at least throw a strapon out in the ring and make it interesting.
I thought Jones should have lost the fight.

Holy [Bleeeeep!] what a beat down!!! Didn’t see that coming but not surprised after Wilder coming in so heavy and taking ear damage early and often! Gypsy king!
Romero is a stud for his age, should be a good fight. If Adesanya can use his reach, he'll do fine. If it goes swinging for the fences, Romero will do damage. I'll go with Romero in the upset.

The first 4 fights were very good. I was stoked to see Sugar O'Malley win. But that women's championship was phenominal. Joanna too more damage than I've seen in a women's fight. I've never seen a forehead look like that. How she was able to continue is beyond me.
Romero was just standing there for like 2 minutes in the first round. Adesanya didn't throw enough strikes I feel,but he didn't fight a stupid fight and he won. Romero just didn't do enough,and for a guy with Olympic caliber wrestling he just looked sloppy with those takedown attempts. I will take that women's title fight though. Can't say enough about what a war that was,and yes,best ever.
