Prelims on FX (not FS1) at 8 Eastern, Main card on PPV at 10.
Welterweight Champ Tyron Woodley vs. undefeated (17-0-1) Darren "The Gorilla" Till in the main event
MMA Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_228
The first Women’s Flyweight title defense for champ Nicco Montaño against Valentina Shevchenko was to the co-main but Montaño was hospitalized for a bad weight cut. A POed Dana White has stripped her of the title and says Shevchenko will fight for the vacant belt as soon as possible
Woodley
Diego! (Can’t beleive He’s fighting again- woot!)
Miller
Too bad Sanchez is on the Fight Pass early prelims that not many people will see.
LOL
I remember some dude a long time ago tried a kiss, didn’t go over well.
Yep- king Scowl lol- Always liked him- he had tremendous heart and drive- hope he does well
FYI never bet on the white guy
Nice! And I logged on in time to make some picks this time. And it looks like the matchmakers did a great job (overall) in setting these fights up.
For the main, I’m picking Till. Woodley is a really good fighter, but for some reason I just can’t like the guy, so I’m rooting for him to lose.
Co-main, I’m hoping for an upset win for Kowalkiewicz.
Magomedsharipov looks like a lock for a win over the guy with a Gordian knot tattoo down one of his legs.
Rivera versus Dodson looks like it’s about guaranteed to be a good fight. I’ll pick “El Terror” Rivera in a coin flip.
Price over Alhassan in another really close match-up.
Suarez’s face bugs me, but I’ll pick her to beat Esparza via submission.
Taking Funk Master in the next one, just because of his nickname. Aljo and Stamann are both solid.
No pick for Neal versus Camacho.
Taking Darren “The Dentist” Stewart over Byrd.
White over Sanchez, after which Sanchez should retire. I love the fighter he used to be, but that guy doesn’t get in the cage anymore.
Ditto with the other White over Jim Miller.
Rounding it out with Aldana and Brooks.
TBH, I’m understanding in the minority on this but I was really looking forward to the Montano/Shevchenko fight - been following Bullet for a while, she is a straight-up killer. Too bad Nicco had to “purposely” screw up her weight cut.
I will take Woodley, Andrade, Zabit Magomedshapirov (what the Hell kind of name is this, and does one really need that many letters in a name?!), Rivera, and I’ll pick Diego Sanchez just for kicks, cuz that dude is pretty cool sometimes.
I’ll take Till, Magomedsharipov, Andrade, and Alhassan
Till, Zabit, Andrada
You’re not alone, I always look forward to chick title fights.
I don’t think she did it on purpose.
I want to take Till, and he’s the favorite too. But I always underestimate Woodley, I’m not sure I’ve ever picked him, this time, I will.
Esparza turned into hamburger.
Woodley
Andrade
Davis
Dodson
Price
I feel the exact same, want to go with Till but Woodley has made my picks against look bad.
I always underestimate him too.
Eventually I do try to learn from my mistakes, though I’m very slow about it!
