Get your picks in, as many or as few as you like.
I’ll take Weidman, Bermudez, Cummins, Almeida
Weidman
Almeida
Dos Santos
Anders
Oliviera
Elkins
Kennedy
That’s all I’m familiar with
I’ll take Gastelum, Bermudez and Vilante.
I am not sure about any of these other cats though.
Weidman
Good
Anders
I just hope they’re good fights.
I’d like to see Pepey beat Burgos. I don’t think I’ve seen that wide of odds before.
Great fight between Rivera and Almeida.
Oh man, Dennis is getting rag dolled here :O
0-2 so far ><
Having trouble with the home computer. Laptop will have to suffice for a while.
I had the DVR set to record the main event plus 15 extra minutes and it still cut off after round 1 of the main event. The UFC needs to do much better on its time management. I set it to record the re-broadcast tomorrow so I can catch the rest of Weidman/Gastelum.
Next weekend is Cormier/Jones!!! Happening about 2 miles from my office.
I’m glad Chris W didn’t lose 4 in row.
Results
Bob 6-1 !
Vic 2-1
Impy 2-2
Chris 0-3 :|
Good card next week. If no one gets injured in the final days, 3 titles are on the line. Are we feeling the Cormier/Jones rematch hype? Woodley v. Maia at 170. And the Women’s Featherweight belt, inaugural champ Germaine de Randamie was stripped for refusing to fight Cyborg, who will face Invicta Bantamweight Champ Tonya Evinger for the vacant strap.
Also, Lawler v. Cerrone.
Don’t read your pings under this one or else I’ve spoiled the main event result. ;d
Terrible night of picks for me. Dang!
But I am also glad that Chris W. didn’t lose 4 in a row. Dude is a good fighter.
The only thing I am feeling for Cormier v. Jones is DISGUST for Jones. That guy just plain friggin’ sucks as a human being.
But Lawler versus Cerrone? Holy Crap :O There’s a fight I’d like to see!
I think I have to lean towards Cerrone on that one, but hmm, I don’t know.
[[Also, Lawler v. Cerrone.]]
Ooo ooo ooo- great matchup- As much as i like ceronne- I think lawler may eek out the win
Damn shame Germaine was stripped of title for not wanting to fight a MALE freak- Can’t believe the UFC is even allowing that crap! What a disgrace to the sport- or any sport- allowing MEN to compete as something they are not!
Cyborg isn’t a tranny, you must have her mixed up with someone else.
She is a substance abuser (obviously, look at her) though, and that’s why Germaine refused to fight her.
Cris "Cyborg" Justino is a cheater who has been caught using PED's.
Both men and women have been caught doing using steroids and the like. So what makes you say "Cyborg" is a male? I don't get it. If she's "XX", she's a female, it's as simple as that...
I thought it was a male fighting as a female?
I was under the impression it was a male fighting as a female- I’m probably mistaken- There was lots of scuttlebug about her being a male- I never followed her or took any interest because i was led to believe it was a male and just took it at face value only-
Wasn’t the UFC promoting a tranny awhile back? I thought it was her- I guess not?
My mistake- i just looked it up- it was a fella calling himself ‘fox fallon’ that was transgender male fighting as a female- There was the big controversy over allowing it in the ufc- some women fighters wanted to fight him=- others didn’t for safety reasons- Joe Rogaine had soem pretty colorful commentary about him- I got fallon mixed up with cyborg
Nah, that's this guy, name is Fallon Fox. Ew. Course in that second pic, it's kind of hard to tell which one is even a girl, if any.
