GDT: UFC 291: Poirier vs. Gaethje 2/Bellator x Rizin 2

[CDJ]

I don't think Jan's path to victory is a technical stand up fight here. I think he can try to bully Pereira on the ground, or out muscle him on the feet/clinch. But if it becomes a technical point fighting match, I think that favours Pereira.

Didn't you hear what Tony said??? He feels like hes in his physical prime, he's the best fighter he's ever been. How is Bobby Green an easy hit vs the best Tony Ferguson we've ever seen?? /s

But seriously I want Tony to win so bad. I can't stand to see his head get rattled around anymore.

I’m not sure he should be fighting so soon after a brutal car wreck/DUI

Derrick Lewis gets bumped up to main card to fill Wonderboy open slot.

The Bellator portion of the card begins at 8 pm PST/11 pm EST, should put the Horiguchi/Shinryu fight right after the main events for UFC and Spence/Crawford, with the Rizin portion starting after (once they change from a cage to a ring). Should be a wild night.

 

[Nakatomi]

I feel like the turnaround is too quick for Alex. Maybe being up in weight helps some, or maybe I am just too worried for nothing.

Tony Ferguson has CTE issues at this point if he thinks hes in his prime.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Are these ring girls making six figures for the UFC?

I'll do it for a 1/3rd of that.

Yeah I’m big on Jan, was very pleased to see the odds swing to even like they did

Pereira looks great physically at 205 but he was also held down by Izzy. I don’t think Jan is a dumb fighter, I think he’ll immediately look for that takedown and I really like Jan by sub +550 and I love Jan -110

[Bunk Moreland]

That's wild and complete bullshit. He did his job.

 

[Taytro]

What a joke, a guy who has been loyal to the company. Fought for titles, taken short notice fights and overweight fights in the past. To make him take a financial loss training for this fight just because his opponent didn't show up for the agreed weight is disgusting.

 

[CDJ]

Classic Dana and classic fighters not unionizing

 

[CDJ]

Cut this guy

 

[KingsHockey24]

Why is Wonderboy getting whooped by Kevin Holland in that commercial?

 

[Avs_19]

Off to a good start tonight.

Nice body work by Matthews.

 

[Avs_19]

Wow. That was insane.

 

[End of Line]

God damn that was perfect

 

[Avs_19]

"Right, you're 185 right now......"

Rogan's so unprepared he doesn't even know which weight class the guy he's interviewing is in.

 

[CDJ]

Unprepared = ripped

 

[Taytro]

Haven't been able to watch anything yet but with the Matthews, Medic, and Kopylov wins I just need my heart bet (Tony) to finish the parlay. If Tony loses he should probably retire.

 

[Avs_19]

Good decision.

Not sure what Salvador is complaining about. Dude spent half the time showing off like he's Nick Diaz in there. After missing weight by 2.5 lbs too.

Just a weird fight.

 

[CDJ]

Ok Kevin Holland ok

 

[td_ice]

Man, Holland dominated Chiesa there.

Damn, two years is a long time to be away from the octagon.

 

[Avs_19]

Very dominant. It was a wrap as soon as he defended those takedowns.

 

[td_ice]

Very dominant. It was a wrap as soon as he defended those takedowns.

Yep. That was the only path for Chiesa

 

[CDJ]

I think it would be v dumb to go back up to 185
