I’ll take Bader tonight in Bellator
Tonight I’ll take Ruth, Davis, Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, and Bader
Can’t wait for UFC 217, what a card!
What pirate site??? You can PM me
I’ll go with Bader and Davis tonight.
Well, this chick has a weird walkout act.
At this point I’m prepared to go out on a limb and pick Joanna.
Ilima-Lei wins by armbar, main event time.
Bader wins by ground and pound!

As much as i can’t stand bisping- I’ll go with him- never thought george was all that they made him out to be- god wrestler- but not a good puncher (Yes, i know the jabs on whatshisname’s eye breaking eye socket- but whatshisname never defended the jabs)

The UFC card however, I'm not sure. It is one of those rare fights where there is disconnect between who I WANT to win and who I THINK will win. So, I'm just going based on who I want to win:
- Hendricks: even though Costa is a beast.
- Thompson
-Jędrzejczyk: I watched the UFC behind the scenes stuff and got a little turned off by the way Jędrzejczyk was acting. She was being unnecessarily mean to Rose. That being said, it is hard to beat against her, even though she is reminding me of Rousey at this stage
-Dillashaw: I'm picking him because I just don't like Garbrandt, even though I think he's the better fighter
-Michael Bisping: I'm picking him because I've yet to see a fighter come back from a long layoff and look like their former self. I doubt GSP has the power to KO Bisping, and it will hinge on him getting his back. Bisping is underrated in my opinion, and would like to see him retain the belt one more time.
I agree with your picks. I also pick Micky Gall. Not so confident in TJ but Garbtandt is the cringiest trash talker ever.
Bisping, though I’ll be rooting for GSP
Garbrandt
Joanna Champion
no pick on Gall vs. Brown (leaning toward Gall but he’s such a douche that I refuse to pick him)
Wonderboy
Borrachinha
Harris
Texecutioner
Oleinik
Ramos
St. Preux
Whatshisname - are you talking about Josh Koscheck? That fight was an absolute clinic by GSP.
yup that was him- he beat him with jabs- only because josh didn’t defend against them- I wasn’t impressed with the fight at all beyond the jabs- Josh was way off his game- Timid- GSP took advantage of that-
Bellator was pretty good overall last night. Bader got the job done and once again Mr. Wonderful went to a decision.
Oops, the previous post messed up due to spelling Joanna’s last name correctly. I’ll try it again with Joanna.
Main card:
Bisping
Garbrandt
Joanna
Thompson
Costa
Prelims:
Duffy
Harris
Ovince Saint Preux
Brown
