[The TroutBum]

Nice, for once I'll be rooting for Alves. I'm afraid Nog is finished, and Kongo is going to mash his face -- but at least McGee will be representin' the White Folks of Utah! WAR McGEE!

[dbreiden83080]

If Nog is healthy he can still take Kongo down and sub him.

Alves needs a win bad..

Tough card to predict:

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

Urijah Faber vs. Renan Barao (for interim bantamweight title)

- Like the Boetsch vs Lombard fight, I know what I'm getting out of Faber but I haven't seen enough of Barao to know if his win streak is legit. Granted he at least has 3 UFC victories. Will Faber prove my theory, that like Sonnen, there isn't a fighter in their respective divisions that can beat them besides the current champions. We will find out Saturday night.

Tim Boetsch vs. Hector Lombard

- This fight will have a big impact on MW contender (even Dana White said he will have an answer after Saturday night based on health/results). Boetsch has impressed me since his debut at MW, 3 fights ago. He had a tough battle with Okami but in a 3rd round he needed to finish to win, he came out guns blazing, got the KO victory. He has sick hip tosses, good wrestling, decent chin. --- Lombard, I haven't watched enough Bellator to know his skill set, only seen about 2 of his fights.

Shawn Jordan vs. Cheick Kongo

Brian Ebersole vs. James Head

- This is the easiest prediction for me, sure Ebersole will probably never get a shot at the WW title but I just love the way he fights; and I always love fighters with great submission defense.

Chris Clements vs. Matt Riddle

-

I'll have rest of my predictions later

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

Urijah Faber vs. Renan Barao (for interim bantamweight title)

Hopefully Urijah will take this one seriously. Barao is vicious and we do not want him as a champion.

Tim Boetsch vs. Hector Lombard
It can be a tough for Lombard. tim is hard to put away.

Shawn Jordan vs. Cheick Kongo
Well, hard to say. Kongo is a dangerous guy, big fight for Jordan.

Siyar Bahadurzada vs. Chris Clements

Court McGee vs. Nick Ring



Ebersole wants to go down division after this fight, hmm him vs Frankie would be looking funny.

[ace3g]

Jimmo with 7 sec KO!!!

[shyne]

Such bullshit no way ring won round 3.

[LakerHater]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!

[ace3g]

alright I'm sucking with these decisions...

[ace3g]

time to see if Lombard is legit or not

[ace3g]

some pretty boring fights in main card...

[ace3g]

after that fight, Dana only choices for Silva next should be Weidman or Belcher

[Stringer_Bell]

Awful card, probably one of the worst ever. I was excited about some of these fights, all have been shitty - and the judges are marvelously shitty as well. No way Ring won that fight, and no way Boetsch won either (altho Lombard deserved to lose anyway).

If I wasn't so convinced that this main event was gonna be baller, I'd ditch this stream. Dana cannot be happy.

yeah considering he was so pumped for this card in the pressers and on twitter, lol

[LakerHater]

Double punch with hands open?!?

[LakerHater]

Why are they booing this???

[ace3g]

I guess Faber has never learned to take leg kicks...

[LakerHater]

Weird ass crowd!

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'm glad I didn't pay for that horseshit. I'd have rather paid to see quadriplegics fuck.

Of course take Siyar prediction of the record :D



This card was so boring!
But damn I thought Faber did more to win this. He had harder strikes and was landing better. But maybe I was too sleepy. After all it was 6am.
And after Chael loss I said I will not gonna watch UFC live. I did. I'm not satisfied.

Dana looked pissed.

Time to watch the presser

[polandprzem]

btw. Lombard - my ass

Khalidov could take him
