I'm happy to pay the $9 a month for fight pass.... Great deal considering a PPV is $80.

That said this asshole got choked out 10 min ago and you pan out and play music for 15 min because you have no content? That's kind of bullshit. Christ show me the last Lesner fight or something.

That was terrible but they always have content to show instead of playing music.

Why they didn't show PPV promos, weigh-in highlights, random mma news, and other highlights is beyond me.

Diaz will always be bigger, faster, and more effective. If you can name me one discipline where Conor has Diaz pipped, I'd love to hear it.

Short of a cut stoppage in the first, Conor's going to wilt under a constant barrage of pressure and insults.

Conor cant pack on enough mass to handle that without totally destroying his physique; that extra muscle will do nothing but slow him down and devour oxygen.

I know exactly where you're coming from, first fight Conor typically looked like a man who had quickly moved up in weight. Chances he is now faster is virtually zero, but I still think he will have a significant hand speed advantage over Diaz.

The first two rounds will be interesting, Diaz has a pretty damn good chin and can take a punch very well... on the other hand Conor has a questionable chin.

Another thing to consider. Nothing motivates a man more then fear, especially a man with a big ego.
Not so much the fear of being beaten up but the fear of being humiliated.

Conor looks very lean in the body, his arms look huge now. Of course we all know how super fit Diaz is hence the last fight could have been a bonus in not having a camp, as he would have been nice and fresh.

Conor has amazing balance and moves and punches at strange angles, Diaz is super tough but very predictable with his striking. IMO

I'm simply looking forward to this fight, doubt I'll even have a bet on it. (fights I look forward to often let me down)

if you tend to buy fightpass and ufc ppvs, you should join the UFC rewards program. They give you points for dollars spent, and give you points just for logging in, watching a UFC video, buying ppvs and fightpass, etc. I joined sometime earlier this year, and just got a free ppv and month of fight pass. Especially if you are OSA and spent a grand on tix, may as well get something back for it.

Fightpass is the balls, tho. The archive is getting huge now. Love watching old affliction or elitexc shows and shit like that.

I need some $$ tonight. Who has a lock?

I'm going to bet Nelson and lose because I love him.

I have Makdessi -145...he's a solid Tri-star guy with excellent striking. He's lost his last two (to Medeiros and Cerrone, certainly not slouches) so he's real desperate for a win.

I like the Fight goes distance pk (-140) for Lopes vs Birchak - I mean, a decision is due. Great card so far, all submissions.

We just stole one....

[Daly]

Going a half unit on fight goes distance at +145

[Daly]

Probably pass on the next one and go Nelson inside distance at +120

[Shizzmoney]

Probably pass on the next one and go Nelson inside distance at +120

Lewis is +150 to +170 on winning inside distance. That's not a bad middle to take both.

lost on Pyle tho.

Have Lewis here.

[Shizzmoney]

Took over on Roy/Lewis 1.5 rounds at +140. Purely an anti-public play. Hope to fade the big right hand

[Crowe Diddly]

Thankful that the Lewis-Nelson fight is only 3 rounds, not 5. Good call, shizz.

I would have bet -300 won't go distance.... Nice bet.

[BeerAndPoker]

I can think of zero other dudes that can take several bombs like Nelson can.

maybe he has extra fat inside his skull too?

speaking of getting crushed in the head and still sticking with the fight, Eddie goddamn Alvarez up next. Getting almost ko'd in the first few minutes used to be his thing for a while. Would love to see him pull this off. Would be way less crazy than Bisping's win, for sure.

YASSSS

About 4:11 into the clip is when Cormier first hears the news of Jones testing positive:



Cormier vs Silva would have been cool years ago (if Cormier was at the top of his game then which he wasn't) but props to Silva for stepping up to take this fight on such short notice.

[BeerAndPoker]

Dana White was just on ESPN.

Mousasi, Hendo, and Silva all wanted the fight with Cormier. The fight is at 205. Silva is in Vegas and cleared all medical stuff today.

Dana said they were scrambling yesterday and they are bumping the Miesha Tate title fight to the main event. LOL ok sure.

[BeerAndPoker]

WOW THAT MAIN EVENT. DD DOS ANJOS

[Hockey Guy]

Hopefully this ends all the retarded talk of dos Anjos being the goat lightweight champ.
