UFC Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_on_Fox:_Lawler_vs._dos_Anjos
I’ll take Lawler, Lamas, Perry and Teiexeria
Gotta go Lawler
Lamas (Heven;t seen in awhile)
Glover?
and that’s it-
We don’t get spike anymore since spectrum took over time warner :( But we do get one channel that sometimes carries bellator)
I’ll take RDA, Lamas, Perry, and Teixiera.
I don’t recall seeing Perry before, but his KO percentage is impressive. Will go with him despite the odds.
No idea who these other peoples are.
Highly amusing if you haven’t seen it

The bracket is
Sonnen
Rampage
Fedor
Mir
King Mo

Meh- king mo? The others- hard to choose- might go with roy just because he was so improbable looking lol- but i don’t htink He’d last- might surprise though- Fedor i htink simply got clocked a good one by mitrione- woulda like to have seen him fight longer in that fight- to get a good gauge of where he’s at now- Mir? Haven’t seen him in a long time- He might hold his own with leg/ankle bars or arm bars- might have some power left? Sonnen? Meh- good wrestler- might be able to out wrestle the slower guys-
Hard choice- I’ma stick with roy i think lol
Cats!
Can't wait for that Gran Prix. Damn!
LOVED the Real Jon Jones video! Thanks.
I’ll pick:
RDA - even though Lawler is one of my favorite fighters ever. Just a gut feeling.
Lamas - He’s faced much better competition
Perry - But Santiago Pozinibbio has a real panty-dropper of a name.
Curcunov - Today’s Teixeira doesn’t seem as good as the Teixeira of old.
Bamgbose - he’ll train like a maniac to avoid getting 3 losses in a row.
Killa Trujillo -
and I’ll opt out of further picks, but I will be rooting for Cannonier and Mein.
Bellator - First Round I pick:
Rampage over Sonnen
Mir over the GOAT
Bader over Lawal
Mitrione over Nelson
Good card for “free TV.”
Since when is Sonnen a heavyweight? He’s a 185 pounder. He’ll probably fatten up to 205.
I still re watch the Mir/Big Nog fight every once in awhile just to remember someone who actually took his opponent’s arm home :-0
Lawyer, Lamas, Perry, and Teixiera. Great free night card.
Is there anyone who believes Holy has a chance against Cyborg? I’ll be rooting for her but I think she’ll get eaten alive.
I won’t be able to tune in (going to the airport to pick up my daughter) but here are my main card picks:
Teixieira, Ponzinibbio, Lamas, and Lawler
She has recently lost a Muay Thai fight by clear decision, so she’s not invincible.
I’ll be picking Cyborg though.
Since Bellator offered him a spot in the Grand Prix I would imagine. ;-D
He's been fighting at LHW since he lost to Silva the 2nd time, I would gather he walks around at (a bit) over 205. I also presume 185 was as far down as he could cut.
King Mo has been up and down from LH and H, Rampage was LH until his last 2 fights, Fedor could have easily cut down to 205, Big County is only a Heavy cause of fat and not muscle., this will be Bader's first heavyweight fight.
It was originally even better, Lamas was fighting Aldo until he stepped in for Frankie Edgar against Holloway.
I don’t recall seeing Emmet fight before, this is a big step up in competition for him.
Glover briefly looks out classed, but then takes him dowm, takes the back and GNPs his way to quick stoppage!
