t8yman Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 first off - looks like the big rumour for a london headliner is a bout between Hector Lombard and Rory McDonald, if thats true - will be epic! secondly - its nearly here blank for copy paste Faber v Saenz Holloway v Stephens Maia v Nelson Jacare v Romero Weidman v Rockhold Aldo v McGregor my picks Faber v Saenz Holloway v Stephens Maia v Nelson Jacare v Romero Weidman v Rockhold Aldo v McGregor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Faber v Saenz - Faber is always a safe pick unless he is up against a top 5 fighter Holloway v Stephens - Speed and movement for the decision. Maia v Nelson - I'm struggling to pick with this one, it depends where it ends up, Gunner on the feet but I hope it goes to the ground to see how he does against Maia. Jacare v Romero - submission or decision and he will finally get that title shot. Romero is dangerous though. Weidman v Rockhold - Decision in what should be an epic fight. Aldo v McGregor - I'm not as confident in picking Aldo as I was when the first fight got rescheduled, I rewatched Aldo/Mendes and noticed how much he got hit. McGregor's straight left has put everyone away so I wonder if Aldo will take it to the ground where McGregor will be at a disadvantage or just fuck him up with those leg kicks but every time he throws a kick, McGregor will counter. I'll say submission win for Aldo. How do we see Edgar/Mendes going? I'm picking Edgar. Edited December 7, 2015 by When Jokers Attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8yman Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yeah I know Maia will probably end up favourite in the betting, he bores me to tears, and I actually enjoy watching a good BJJ guy at work. I'd like to see Gunnar get a win. And yeah, I think Edgar will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 So Rousey has gave her first interview and she isn't changing camps and if she doesn't win she will be "done with everything". Rockhold got a haircut on the latest episode of embedded which means he will lose haha, every fighter that gets a haircut on embedded loses their fight (beards and hotels don't count).

The Nal Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 This is why Rhonda lost it seems. Well, the fight winning punch. Early in R1. Says it may be 6 months before she can eat properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 She lost because she faced a better fighter who exposed how bad she is on the feet. None of us realised how poor her stand up was until she fought Holm though. I always said Holm would win the fight on the feet but it wouldn't last long because Rousey woul get her down with the first clinch and it would be over, just like every other fight. With Rousey being out for long, Miesha Tate should get the next crack, instead of putting the division on hold for a year, Rousey ain't champion now and I think she should take extended time off and not rush back. press conference going down tonight with Aldo/McGregor, let the antics begin.

metallimuse Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Was reading an article today that Holm's camp been told by UFC there's no plan for her to defend until UFC200, basically they don't want her fighting anyone until Ronda's back...proper bullshit.

When Jokers Attack Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Her manager has requested for fight with Miesha Tate as Holm wants to stay active. If McGregor knocks out Aldo, will they put McGregor on hold for a year for a rematch? Don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Not much to report from that presser. McGregor seems like a different person, maybe it's the weight cut or maybe he has grown tired of the trash talking gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallimuse Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Great article! Totally agree with the first part,the fact you can't call it has made it an immense prospect. I'm saying Aldo in the second out of nowhere or McGregor in the fourth after Aldo has gassed out.Both with the ref stepping in to stop.

DomDom1984 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'd go with a gun to the head guess on Aldo by submission, but this is so close to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8yman Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thug Rose was sublime. Her gameplan was perfect, but damn Paige is tough - which we kind of already knew. Seeing her weeping a bit at the presser was awful. Putting that much pressure on her was unfair. Sage can get fucked with his "Mr White" and his "Fightpass is awesome" bullshit.

metallimuse Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Unfucking believable. If you check my Twitter I said Aldo looked nervy on the walk in and called McGregor but didn't expect THAT!Not quite sure if I feel short changed or impressed...

When Jokers Attack Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I am still fucking raging Jacare lost but well done McGregor and I don't mean to keep doubting him but if Aldo don't get a rematch (due to bullshit ufc politics) then Edgar will beat him. He may prove me wrong again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
