I would not know how to wager on FR. But let me ask you, what do you see in Faber over Barao? This guy is as good as Aldo in his weight class. Faber is good, but he lack skill in Mui Tai. Faber is good on the ground. Faber is not near as good as Barao in striking. Faber is OK in submission, mostly due to his strength and endurance, but still not as good as Barao. I do not see any weakness in Barao.
Amazing body shots. Advantage striker!
As far as wagers, your word is your bond. If you agree to terms just say so and bet is on.
Well, I called that one wrong....again. Oh well.
Forever Young? Groan.....I hope Mir loses for walkout music alone. Gag.
I do agree with you when Faber was in the WEC , he was the man. But this is the ultimate fighting organization. Faber, to be sure is great athlete and apparently works hard. But he has been beaten by Brown, crushed by Aldo, even beaten by the previous holder of the 135 lb division. (can't remember his name). And Barao is better than all of those guys.
You’re on. Loser has to ping the winner to all random threads they are proclaiming the other as being great!
This fight is badass! It is widely considered as a “Loser leaves Town” match.
These guys are monsters!
Overeem by Decision. Not too many finishes tonight. Like 1 I think.
Heavyweight fights are hard to come by.
With you on Aldo. He has this.
Do you think it’s over for Frank?
Dana White said as much. Very possible.
The Reem looked pretty good but Cain would eat him alive...bad.
