MMA Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list
Full Fight Card here

And Machida is past his sell-by date.
Am I out of the loop or is the UFC stable getting thin?
machida
Maia
pedro
miller
Santos
Don’t know the rest
Maia is a big name. What about Jim Miller, not familiar? Past his prime but he’s been a lot of “fight of the night”s. Him v. Trinaldo is a pretty good matchup. Lineker is a contender.
I wouldn’t say the stable is thin (nor particularly stacked at the moment) but a “free” (if you have cable) Fox Sports One card doesn’t usually have a lot of big name fighters on it outside the main event. This one is in Brazil so there’s a bunch of lower level Brazilian dudes on there. I remember seeing most but not all of the names before, but I’m not very familiar with most of them.
The next Pay-per-vew card is stacked with 3 title bouts.
Too many events, and chick fights suck too.
If the chicks are equals, how come they don’t fight the men? I’ll take any NCAA champion wrestlers over the competition.
I’ll take Brunson, Maia, Font, Miller, Hermansson and Lineker
I’ll take Brunson , Maia, and Trinaldo.
Male and female weights are not equivalently because men have a higher muscle to far ratio. US authorities would never sanction such a match, sadly.
But a mentally ill dude with a severed member was allowed to compete against women in the minor leagues. He won several fights, then lost to thunderous applause.

Machida I understand but I can’t believe Maia is also a betting underdog.
I’ll take Machida, Maia, Font, Trinaldo, Santos, Lineker
I meant to say not equivalent, muscle to fat ratio.
Covington has been doing A LOT of talking. Let us see..
I knew what you meant. Typos are ok with me.
Women are capable of getting their BMI below 10. What they don’t have is a male body and testosterone, or very little of it. I know women are not men, thankfully. The feminist need to shut up about being equal and do what they do best.
My picks:
Brunson
Maia
Munhoz
Trinaldo
Hermansson
Brooks
Lineker
Price
Carlos Junior
Hacran Dias
Of course, please disregard any of the above that have already happened prior to my post.
Oh, but that chick fight a couple weekends back where the one chick blasted her shin into the other’s nose was pretty remarkable. I think it was in Bellator.
Santos with the TKO mere seconds before the end of the round!
Lineker by UD.
So far my choices are looking coin flip at best.
I need to reinstate my rule about never picking against guys named Thiago.
“Font has never been knocked out or submitted”
*Font gets submitted 20 seconds later
