All Things UFC & MMA

yep. He had one all 24 minutes until he got iced.

 

yep. Should be a good one. I’m fuckin pumped

 

I hope I can get home in time for the main cards. I really want to see the main and co-main.

 

Gonna spend the whole day disc golfing (2 courses, one with carts!) and then watching UFC 245 with the bois! What a grand Saturday I have lined up.

 

If Usman takes him down, he's WAY more productive on the ground than Covington. Covington inflicts very little damage when on the ground (virtually no ground-n-pound game) while he switches positions looking for openings to submit. This is going to be a really good fight.

Anybody see Aldo yesterday? He looks decimated, hope he's okay through it all.

 

Just saw him in the weigh ins, he looks to be in good spirits. But I'm very skeptical on how much his chin can take with this cut and especially against a hitter like Moraes

 

Yeah, he didn't look as bad as I expected at weigh-ins. But still expect Moraes to get the win. Good luck to Aldo though, I just want to see a good fight.

The only two I am really rooting for tomorrow are Holloway and Nunes. Kinda worried about Volkanovski taking the belt from Holloway though. Should be a good fight no matter what

 

No doubt, me too man. How can you NOT like Holloway? Volkanovski is a monster though, with a slight reach advantage. I really don't see this one going to the ground and I hope Holloway can put it all together to walk out with the belt.

I think that Nunes is the clear favorite, but I don't think it will be an easy win for her, De Randamie has quality striking (to some extent, even quicker than Nunes) and Nunes needs to really pay attention to that. Nunes does a good job of disguising her range though, of making the other fighter believe she's out of range (I know that's what Meisha Tate thought before she got sub'd).

Top three fights on the main card are really good matchups and I hope to see some really good fights. I want to see good fights all around, but I just think that Moraes and Yan are too much for Aldo and Faber.

REALLY looking forward to the Matt Brown and Ben Saunders fight on the prelim card! I also think that the (returning) Brandon Moreno V Kai Kara-France (hasn't lost a fight since 2016) on the early prelims could be a good one as well.

 

^Not sure what happened to Garbrandt. He looked really good against Cruz and then looked pretty wreckless in each fight afterwards.

He's an exciting fighter to watch, so I hope he really gets his head straight and follows a solid game plan against Assuncao.

 

I love CG and I couldn’t agree more. He’s definitely an emotional fighter and is willing to stand and bang and see who drops first. I hope he can get that under control and work back towards the title

 

That Cruz fight was one of my all time favorites btw

 

Hughes Trigg 2 is an absolute classic. I love Griffin Bonner 1 as well.

 

Some of my favorites -
Hughes V Trigg 2
Culture V Liddell 1
Fedor V Big Nog 1
Griffin V Bonnar
Fedor V CroCop
Silva V Sonnen 1

 

Rose Namajunas vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk (Joanna tries her best Ronda Rousey impression at weigh-ins, Rose is crying backstage, then Rose beats the crap out of Joanna)
Carlos Condit vs. Robbie Lawler
Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson
Cain Velasquez vs. Brock Lesnar
Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm
Ronda Rousey vs. Amanda Nunes
Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor 1
Leonard Garcia vs. Chan Sung Jung "The Korean Zombie" (Korean Zombie lands the first Twister submission in UFC)
Lyoto Machida vs. Rashad Evans
Diego Sanchez vs. Anybody

Writing this list it just occurred to me that I really like underdogs..

 

Who’s watchin

 

Where’s my early prelimers at? Haha

 

I bribed my kids they can stay home and just watch holiday movies . I told the wife, I just want to relax and watch fights tonight. There are other weekends and my kid's winter break to go out and do stuff..lol
Now time to sit back and enjoy my night!!

 

I didnt know Brandon is back in UFC. I like Chase Hooper. Hopefully his debut goes well.
