Full Card
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Swanson_vs._Lobov
some good names and match-ups for a free card.
I’m picking:
Swanson - because he’s going to be too much for Lobov
Raging Al - Because Sanchez is on the tail end of his career
Pezao - because I don’t know, it’s just a gut feeling
Wineland - an iffy choice, but going with the bigger man
Lauzon - because he’s fought better opponents and is a tough out
Perry - undefeated except to Jouban. Ellenberger is 2-5 since 2014
Alvey - Leites will be winning early, then Alvey will turn it around
Below that, my only pick is Barberena. The chick fight at pick-em should be interesting.
For some reason, I’m thinking of Gina Carano. Yummmm!
I saw she may fight again.
Swanson- (Just saw soem of his older fights- he always seems to fidn a way to win somehow)
Diego Sanchez? (Is he still powerful enough to win? Dunno- taking a chance on hhim)
Eddie Wineland (Just because I’ve always liked his boxing skills and wicked body shots-)
Joe Lauzon- (Think He’s still a good fighter)
Jake ellenburger (Don’t know his opponent)
That’s all i know
bttt

I’ll take Swanson (I’ve not been impressed with Lobov), laqunita, Dodson, Ray, I hate to pick against Joe but..., Letes and Perry.
Perry KTFOs Ellenberger!
Thank you, I didn’t get to see it bc of stupid baseball game.
UFC is back on fs1 now, so watching Joe, who seems to be doing pretty well.
I hate picking against him, bc I love the dude, but he’s been struggling lately.
I hope he wins though.
Damn!
Not happy about getting this pick right.
C’mon, Joe!
I shouldn’t have picked against Iaquina!
That was an amazing knockout by Iaquinta. I wasn’t expect that, at least not so early, and I’m not even sure Sanchez has been knocked out before.
Awesome fight!
Great main event
Alright Impy tally up the records for tonight
That was a pretty solid effort by Lobov.
Clearly he is not ready for the likes of Swanson, but he’s not all that far off either.
He needs to flesh out his skill set some more. I don’t think he’s a good enough knock out artist to rely on that alone.
I will go ahead and say that I think he does deserve a spot in the UFC at this point, he’s got heart and he’s tough, but more work to do.
Nice job, Cub!
Agreed
Chris: 7-0 (6-0 Main Card)
Stonewall: 11-2! (and 6-0 main card)
Impy: 7-6
Dad: 4-4
Bob: 1-4
Great job Chris and Stonewall!
Thanks everyone for playing!
