Let’s see, I’ll take Halloway, I hate to pick against Brown, but I’ll go with Cowboy, also Choi, and I don’t really recognize any of the others.

The prelims were pretty good, but Letourneau looked bad.

Indeed.

He says he wants to go back to 170 but I don’t know, he looked good not having to cut weight. He’s awful small for 185 though.

He has to get his act together to cut the weight and lay off the Cheetos and donuts between camps.

Holloway TKOs Pettis, first time Pettis has been stopped.

Pettis suffered a broken hand during the fight. Says he’s going back to 155, can’t handle the weight cut.

Holloway calls out Aldo I THINK by making a where’s Waldo reference.

You mean when he apologized for saying “fag”? If he didn’t they would have blackballed him.

yeah possibly- but I’m wonderign if he had enough drawing power to say to them “Whatever- fire me, i aint apologizing’- Donald is their go to man for when other fighters can’t make a fight- they call donald and he’s there to take the fights- or at least he used to be- that’s pretty valuable to the league-

I’m not even so much against his apologizing for saying fag-, but then he had to go and ‘show solidarity’ by printing t’shirts or something showing support for the gay cause- I can’t remember exactly what it was now- but it was like he was forced into doing it- I’da walked before i jumped through those hoops

too bad about Pettis- did the hand cause him to get TKO’d? Or was the other fella just that much better?

Well Holloway is good and was the betting favorite. Pettis has been in a slump since RDA kicked his butt, he just hasn’t seemed the same since.

I was gonna pick Pettis to win but the bad weight cut changed my mind. Joe Rogan thought maybe it was a good thing he hurt his hand cause he was underutilizing his kicking.

It wasn’t a really bad TKO, some refs might have let it continue. But he just didn’t look good.

“I’da walked before i jumped through those hoops”

Me too probably, I don’t think I could stomach it. Being a pro athlete, these corporate jagholes won’t let them say anything, (but of course Crapernick can protest the pledge of allegiance)

RDA? Holloway was always someone ot ‘keep an eye on’- and definitely a tough nut- I had my money on pettis though- broken hands though are a bad sign- once the hand breaks, they seem to break more often- Uriah found that out- saw a fight where he broke both hands (and possibly a foot too if i remember right) and he finished the fight by fighting with his elbows- Went a couple rounds like that- it was unreal- great fight too-
