Kelvin finally making his return. He said he wanted to change things up after the Till loss. It'll be interesting to see how he looks.

 

[CDJ]

Ramos vs Tsarukyan will be sneaky great

Askarov vs Pantoja is my prediction for FOTN. Pretty solid card

Might be biased, but I got Joey B. He was winning the first fight until the headbutt. Also, what are the chances Figueiredo doesn't miss weight? He missed badly last time IIRC and now he's late getting to UAE because of the false positive.

I got Gastelum easy. Gastelum has got a wrestling background, a black belt from 10th Planet, really fast hands, and an iron chin. Of his 5 losses, 3 were split decisions, 1 was the war against Izzy, and he has only been finished once, a submission by Wiedman. He's been fighting the best of the best for a while now, been faring pretty well, and is somehow still only 28 years old. Hermansson, respect for beating Jacare on short notice, but other than that his best win is David Branch? Sorry, just not a believer.

Pantoja v Askarov is pretty interesting to me.

I really like Gastelum as well.

Main event is a tough one.

Cool to see Duffy back.

 

[pistolpete11]

Figueiredo made weight.

 

[CDJ]

Dude cracks for 125

 

[Byron Bitz]

Nice to finally see a good co-main event on the free cards.

 

[ZDH]

Give me Figueiredo and Dawson.

Askarov fight is a coin flip. Gun to my head I have his opponent winning but I bet tiny on Askarov just b/c his odds.

 

[MD thaivuN]

can't say I like Joe B's chances. He was swinging with reckless abandon and leaving himself in a lot of troubles in the first fight. He's gotta find a more sustainable strategy against Flyweight Yoel Romero

 

[pistolpete11]

Wait a minute...so the Wednesday card started at 10pm, but this Saturday card starts at 8pm?

 

[CDJ]

I’m no longer better entire boards since we are back to normal (well kinda) and my gambling fix has been satiated

give me Askarov and Gastelum tonight

 

[I am not exposed]

Wait a minute...so the Wednesday card started at 10pm, but this Saturday card starts at 8pm?

Yep. Prelims starting now. Glad I checked earlier this morning!

 

[I am not exposed]

Hoping Felipe gets knocked out!

 

[I am not exposed]

Felipe did not win that fight. Sore loser.

 

[CDJ]

Felipe being a 330 lb 12 year old is wild


Tsarukyan is very good

 

[I am not exposed]

The striking of Tsarukyan is very slick. Enjoying this.

 

[CDJ]

TRIANGLE

 

[I am not exposed]

Bisping just called that guy Malcolm X..... That's not his nickname is it?

 

[ZDH]

2 for 2 ez $

 

[CDJ]

I’ve got Johns 29-28

he was gonna be my sneaky play but I didn’t nut up and take him +200. Sad

 

[ZDH]

they better score this for jackson, jones pressed him against the fence for half the fight and did nothing

 

[ZDH]

f***ing joke, montel's knockdown w his fist was more than Jones did the entire fight

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Brett johns is ass.

talk about doing nothing but leaning against him the last 2 rounds

hopefully that’s johns last fight in the UFC
