It was a fight pass only event.

At least you'll be back up and running for the next ppv. Can't wait for that one!

[t8yman]

Wow, last night was fairly dull from what I saw.

And the Glasgow card is coming along nicely. Not.

[When Jokers Attack]

And the Glasgow card is coming along nicely. Not.

They just announced two fights, still no high level names yet.

[t8yman]

yeah, just saw that. Leon Edwards is a great prospect. I like him. Theres rumours of Bisping v Whitaker

[t8yman]

well folks, here it comes - the best card of the year so far. I am very excite.

Post your picks (i'll leave these unbolded so you can just copy and paste, then bold up your choices.)

Johnson v Cormier

Weidman v Belfort

Cerroni v Makdessi

Arlovski v Browne

Benevidez v Moraga

Dodson v Makovsky

Burkman v Kim

Hall v Natal

Namajunas v Ansaroff

Pyle v Covington

I'm going with

Johnson v Cormier

Weidman v Belfort

Cerroni v Makdessi

Arlovski v Browne

Benevidez v Moraga

Dodson v Makovsky

Burkman v Kim

Hall v Natal

Namajunas v Ansaroff

Pyle v Covington

The first card for ages where just about every fight is a "care" for me. I think Rumble is gonna get an early KO, and Weidman is gonna get a counterpunch KO on Belfort in RD2 after a fairly cagey RD1.

Johnson v Cormier

Weidman v Belfort - Someone has to pick him, second round TKO.

Cerroni v Makdessi

Arlovski v Browne

Benevidez v Moraga

Dodson v Makovsky

Burkman v Kim

Hall v Natal

Namajunas v Ansaroff - I don't remember seeing Ansaroff fight before

Pyle v Covington

JoJo vs Bec Rawlings rumoured for the Glasgow card.

Edit: I have no idea where I even read that so could be a lot of nonsense.

I'd like to see JoJo paste Bec Rawlings, but we still need someone decent carrying the card. Whats been announced so far is dogshit, even with JoJo seeing as she isnt even contender status now.

[When Jokers Attack]

I agree, I'm all for local talent getting on the card but let's be honest they are all prelim fighters at best. It's needing a decent co and main event.

Just 30mins until #UFCFightingTalk on @BTSport 2. We've got a big #UFCGlasgow announcement too! Don't miss it!

edit: It's Jojo vs Bec Rawlings, the rumour I read was right after all

I'm switching to Namajunas, Ansaroff looks like she had a bad weight cut, and missed weight by 5lb.

gonna do an accumulator on all of my picks- £20 accumulator

[t8yman]

weidman went fucking mental at Cheezus at the weigh ins. Was funny as fook!

[When Jokers Attack]

I've stuck a £10 one on, had to select Weidman in the end though.

Have put £5 bet on Belfort by KO/TKO just incase it happens.

Good interview with Weidman and Ariel Helwani

[DomDom1984]

Anyone else seeing anything about Ross Pearson vs. Josh Thomson in Glasgow? That'd be an absolute corker of a fight. I'd be happy with that as a main event. Looks like an FX main event.

[metallimuse]

Got my virgin media back and excited to be able to watch UFC again tonight.

[When Jokers Attack]

Unlucky.

I didn't include Pyle on mine as I didn't know anything about his opponent, didn't want to risk it.

[When Jokers Attack]

Well the main card was amazing last night, prelims sucked.

Dodson doesn't deserve a shot at Mighty Mouse after that performance but he probably will as there are no other contenders.

Arlovski/Browne - Crazy stuff and did not expect Arlovski to pull it off, easily FOTN.

Cerrone/Makdessi - Makdessi done pretty well here but was never winning the fight, broken jaw is a brutal way to end the fight and he knew it was the right thing to call it off. Cerrone surely next in line for the title now.

Weidman/Belfort - Domination once it got to the ground and he made quick work of Belfort, Next up for him wil be Rockhold? That is a great fight to be making. Belfort has hinted at retiring and I think he should, nothing left to prove and is a love or hate him he is a legend.

Cormier/Johnson - Went the way I expected it go for Cormier but thought it would've been more difficult and would have grinded it out for a decision. Rumble was tired fairly quickly and DC was relentless with his constant pressure. Great show of respect post-fight with Rumble putting the belt on him.

Cormier vs Bader next depending when JBJ is returning, easy win for DC.

I'd like to see Rumble vs Rampage.

One more thing, what did yous think of the Aldo/McGregor promo? I found it really cringey.

[The Nal]

I was amazed Belfort was so poor on the ground.

Agree on the promo yeah. But they're really going for the non UFC market now so have to make it a bit broader.

[Uncle Liam]

So it's Bisping v Leites at the Glasgow show.

[DomDom1984]

Good to see the hysterical bullshit about it getting cancelled has been put to bed.

[t8yman]

it was hardly hysterical bullshit, london got cancelled 12 weeks out because they had nothing to announce

[DomDom1984]

They were never going to cancel their first show in a new place.

[t8yman]

Got our tickets booked for UFC Glasgow, Block 003 - right next to the cage. Can't feckin wait.

[When Jokers Attack]

Was too skint to get a ticket and and it will probably sell out, hopefully get one nearer time.

Condit is back this weekend!

Edited May 29, 2015 by When Jokers Attack

[t8yman]

Fairly good main card over the weekend, the new lad Darren Till looked impressive, I was taken aback when he was interviewed, didnt realise he was a scouser, and was then floored when he started talking in fluent Portuguese to the crowd! Was a little disappointed when I found out he cites "Me" as a response to "do you have any heroes?" on his UFC fighter profile page though. We don't need another McGregor.

Jimmo fight was shite, but the rest of them were very entertaining, and Condit looked dangerous as fuck, Great to see him dash any concerns over his abilities post knee-op.
