    McGregors coach and his main and co main predictions

    “Khabib [Nurmagomedov] by stoppage in the championship rounds. He will be hit in the first but wrestling, in particular his body lock, will break [ Edson] Barboza as fight progresses. 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?

    I can't imagine cyborg coming out strong and fast. Decision way more likely then under 1.5, IMO.

    I hope Condit fights well, he's a ton of fun. I think they gave him a legit name with a suspect chin.

    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?

    woooooooord i heard CTE and then _nothing_.

    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.

    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.

    God damn most of these women fights are sloppy. The talent pool just isn't deep enough to be main carding fights like this. How many girls on the UFC roster really look like seasoned mixed martial artists, 8-10 at most?

    You are being very generous saying 8 to 10 imo.

    That was a sloppy fight indeed but Carla did win with ease which was funny seeing Calvillio's reaction when the scorecard was read.

    Yeah, I didn't want to be accused of being a sexist. There's Holm, Cyborg, JJ and Thug Rose.

    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.
