Ground-and-pound stoppage in fourth or fifth round. [Holly] Holm by stoppage within three rounds. The lack of size advantage [for Cris Cybog] plus Holm’s technical ability in striking will decide this. Cyborg relies on strength and intimidation a lot, she wont have that here.” – John Kavanagh via his Twitter.
that the under 1.5 rounds prop is +240 is somehow the strangest shit ever to me. like seriously, cyborg's not going to play with her food, shes going to absolutely mug holly or die trying.
Rounds 4-5? Isn't this a 3 round fight?Quote:

off topic, what happened with matt hughes anyway?
he was the posterboy for years and then they had to pull him off some railroad tracks while 'drunk' and now everything is hush hush.
was there a brain thing diagnosed? if so its pretty horrific if that never ended up in proper news.
No clue, I was following the story but like you said it's been hard to find details. UFC kept him on salary in a useless role, new owners gave him and Liddell the boot and then he ended up getting hit by a train. Attempted suicide brought on by CTE? Potentially the UFC paid him off to keep quiet?Quote:

ok back to giving everyone betting advice tho.
When fucking lloyd posted Condit as one of his picks earlier today it was over.

you gotta wonder if he ended up signing an NDA in exchange for some sort of settlement. but oh my god if thats true, wow. a lot of fighters would not look kindly on that.
Haha. Age is a bitch, nobody can beat it. Condit looked fucking slow. Entertaining career but time for him to move on.Quote:

THIS ONE IS FOR THESIDEDISH
i very much would love to know what the matt hughes deal is, but I'm also kinda scared about what we might find out. might need to put him in the death pool next year.
why does Carla Esparza get to wear shit nobody else does? they let her keep the singlet when nobody else was wearing one, and now she's got a fucking tshirt on here. she weighed in in the normal bikini top and bottom, but not in the fights. weird.
I think girls have the option to wear a shirt. Valerie Leterneau always used to let me down by wearing one. Calvillo is slick, impressed with her in round one.Quote:

Dan Hooker, is kind of a looker
You are being very generous saying 8 to 10 imo.Quote:

can we talk about how somehow, this is an NYE card?
has there even been a limper dick of an NYE card?
Yeah, I didn't want to be accused of being a sexist. There's Holm, Cyborg, JJ and Thug Rose.Quote:

Sonatine, just a hilariously bad NYE card. I paid for it but I really like the co main and main event. I was also really interested in Rivera vs Lineker
Diakiese is one of these talent guys that doesn't like fighting. I'd love to see Hooker grind out the boring win.
i feel like we all bent over backwards to be accepting of wmma and it just didnt work out.
lol at the co-main to a wmma main being 3 rounds i mean honestly.
how many divisions are there in this fucking sport where they couldnt get ANYONE to put a belt on the line, what the faaaack...
Yeah, Rousey was a huge draw so we had to pretend it was legit. Most of these girls in the UFC took up combat sports as an adult.Quote:

A guy like that is just born to fight, shame he wasn't a more gifted athlete.
Couple nice fights to end the night.
Co main should be an auto 5 regardless of title on the line or not. God damn Barboza is shredded.Quote:

Khabib looks to be carrying some nerves into the ring. Breathing hard from his backstage warm up. Barboza may have been an ok bet.Quote:

sweet jesus
Its amazing Barboza is still standing.
Khabib gassing from the pace but he's already put a savage beating on Barboza.
Yes. Yes, it is.Quote:

His wife is hot.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE TWO BULL SHIT GUYS
When was the last time a fight was scored 30-24 lol
Damn good promo for Miocic vs Ngannou.
Khabib is hilarious 'Conor, has a lot of money, he need spend his money then we fight'Quote:
