[Avs_19]

Very excited for this card.

I was thinking RDA would take this and still might pick him but a few reporters have mentioned how he looks very different these days. You know, after USADA came in and started the enhanced out of competition testing. It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

Overeem isn't the same guy now but I've wanted to see this fight for a long time so I'm still looking forward to it.

Johnson vs Diaz and Oliveira vs Jury could be sick too.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Crazy good card. I can't believe Nate Marquardt is still employed.

 

[darko]

Very good card and it's free.

 

[jw2]

Awesome
Card.

I've never really liked Cerrone but you can't deny that he's exciting to watch. I also hate Dos Anjos. So I hope it's a slug fest. But I anticipate dos Anjos riding his back for the majority of the fight.

Lots of other rights I'm looking forward to seeing.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I like Cerrone, but RDA is like vanilla ice cream to me. All the meh in the world.

I don't think the RDA-Cerrone is going to be close. RDA is going to run through the man. He's also a more tougher match-up for Conor McGregor (RDA and Khabib).

I like Cerrone, but RDA is like vanilla ice cream to me. All the meh in the world.

This is why I question whether McGregor will fight this winner next. Him and Cerrone would sell, but I don't see him and RDA being all that interesting, aside from the obvious fact that McGregor's moving up.

Cerrone seems to crumble in big fights. Strikes me as a good/very good but not great fighter. I like RDA a lot at -215 or whatever he is.

JDS also seems like really good value at -360. I don't see Reem getting the fight to the ground, and if they trade standing JDS's chin is gonna win out every time, not to mention he has the better cardio.

How long has Cerrone been at jacksons?
Seems like a new dude the last 2 years.

I could have swore he's been with Jacksons forever. The new difference though is that he uses a different striking coach in Henry Smith instead of Wink

RDA is -210 at my book right now.
My favorite bet of the night is Miles Jury at -150 over Charles Olivera.

Well, looking at the poster, I think it's pretty clear who the UFC is rooting for...

Conor vs Cowboy would be fun not going to lie

Conor vs Cowboy would be fun not going to lie

Indeed it would. I'm hoping for it too.

 

[Avs_19]

Nate has been gone for a while, didn't look good in his last fight, and has trouble with wrestlers but a +350 underdog in this fight? Maybe it's my Diaz brothers bias but when the fight was announced, I thought it would be closer to even.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Good card, looking forward to the women fights as well especially Valentina Shevchenko vs Sarah Kaufman, Valentina is very explosive. Markos vs Kowalkiewicz should be a great fight too.


Will be pulling for Cowboy but Dos Anjos will probably beat him, hopefully Jackson will come up with a better gameplan this time around.

 

[Spawn]

It's too bad the Reem/JDS fight didn't happen after JDS KO'd Cain and Overeem ran through Lesnar.

Both guys have taken some embarrassing losses since than. Still excited for it, but this fight certainly doesn't have the same aura around it as it would have when these two were thought of as the two best heavyweights in the world and they both looked like unstoppable powerhouse strikers.

Too bad Reem was so obviously on drugs lol.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Reem's before and after pics are so telling.

Very true, but JDS looks totally different now too since the new testing, Aldo's another guy...when they came to his gym to test Aldo his teamates kicked them out for not having a visa, then the second time Aldo "accidentally" dropped his urine sample on to the floor coming out of the bathroom, then you see how soft in the middle he looks now.

Makes you wonder who else is cheating.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Nasty eye poke there. Feel bad for both guys there. Clearly accidental.

You're straight up quoting Joe Rogan. Aldo did not look at all different from his Mendes fight.

Yeah he didn't look as cut as he usually does, anyway don't tell me JDS doesn't look soft....even when he fought Cain the first time with his injury he didn't look this bad.

 

[Avs_19]

Great grappling performance by the Barn Cat. He didn't stop working on the ground. Went from one submission attempt to the next while also getting a ton of strikes in.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Kaufman vs shevchenko should be a good tilt, both are strikers....shevchenko is pretty explosive.

I'm guessing the JDS - Overeem fight probably won't last very long.
