A. Pettis
Nelson
Hendricks
Pearson
S. Pettis
Cruickshank

This is a great card. I picked Nelson, but that's a crap-shoot. I'm banking on his iron chin and OverRoids pathetic cardio. I hate picking Hendricks, but Brown just isn't that good. I'll be shocked if he wins another fight, tbh.

gr8 card in the making

This is a very good overall card..

UFC needs more of this type of cards balanced out.. This is like a 2008 card..

[txstr1986]

Anthony Pettis vs. Rafael dos Anjos for the Lightweight Championship - RDA is a good pressure fighter, which seems to be the ticket to having any kind of success against Pettis. However, that being said, I doubt that he will be able to grind out the decision - Pettis is just too quick and will eventually land the KO blow.

Carla Esparza vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk - Don't know much about the Pole, so I'm going with the known commodity

Johny Hendricks vs. Matt Brown - Big Rig is going to get back on track in this one. Seems like he's had a good camp and a relatively easy weight cut.

Roy Nelson vs. Alistair Overeem - Big Country is going to shatter that glass chin

Chris Cariaso vs. Henry Cejudo - Cariaso hasn't shown anything particularly special and Cejudo is a blue chip

[benefactor]

Cariaso is getting dominated. Cejudo looks like a contender.

[ace3g]

Reem looking decent

[thiste]

I thought Reem was done, well looks like he's still got some fight in him. His chin still looks suspicious but at least he fought smart and technical tonight.

[benefactor]

Yeah...Reem looked more technical than he's looked in a long time. He can't beat Cain, but he's a still a solid gatekeeper.

[benefactor]

Hendricks looks better physically than he's ever looked. I think he rolls tonight.

[01Snake]

Co-main event, LOL

[thiste]

Well that's a title fight after all, what do you expect. Anyway, the pole looks like she's here to stay.

[thiste]

Great main.

[01Snake]

Pettis getting worked over.

[benefactor]

Pettis straight got his ass handed to him. Man...what a tough fucking division.

[thiste]

Didn't feel comfortable betting on this one, looks like I was right.

Pretty good card overall, Hendricks showed potential (improved conditioning mainly) but I was disappointed that he kept going for TDs instead of putting Brown to sleep. That's what we want to see in a Hendricks fight, not a boring decision. He had several opportunities to KO Brown but didn't capitalize. I hope he doesn't become a GSP 2.0 decision machine.

[txstr1986]

Damn, RDA looked great last night. He just straight up put an ass whoopin on Pettis for 25 minutes

[dbreiden83080]

Well I guess Pettis was not what we thought he was.. Something never sat right with me about him losing to Clay Guida. His TDD still sucks and his striking sure looked overrated in this one..

We? Please don't lump me in with your ridiculous statements. Remember when GSP lost to Serra? Hughs? Losses happen to all but the best of the best of the best; nobody retires undefeated.

GSP got caught in a fight he was winning in the 1st round. Was Matt Serra ever going to hand GSP his ass for 25 minutes whipping him all over the cage in every facet of MMA? Pettis got his ass kicked everywhere in that fight and was mentally broken..

So by your logic, Renan Berao (or however you spell his dick-face name) is not who we thought he was?

When did someone ever dominate GSP or Jones for 25 straight minutes? Getting caught and getting dominated are not the same.

Uh... Hendricks dominated GSP. Gus dominated Jones.

[dbreiden83080]

Uh... Hendricks dominated GSP. Gus dominated Jones.

Lol and Ray dominated Hagler..

[The TroutBum]

Solid reply.


As usual.
