Official UFC 192 thread. So...predictions?

Gustafsson - Cormier
I really don't know what to predict here. I see DC coming out aggressive and putting pressure early on Gustafsson. Gustafsson said he can fight going backwards, but imo I'm not sure how it will work out. Gustafsson will definitely have advantage on feet. He has the best striking currently in LHW. I guess he won't be throwing too many kicks against such an experienced wrestler as Cormier. Now from what I've seen in JJ vs Gus, Gus has outstanding TDD. Hell..if he could take JJ down, I bet he could do the same to DC. I guess if DC manages to take Gus down it's going to be his fight, if not it's going to be the other way.
All this said, I have Cormier winning.

Hendricks - Woodley
Style wise, two very similiar fighters. As we all know Tyrone is a physical beast. He carries a lot of muscle, so he has the most chance in first two rounds. I see him coming out very agressive and explosive. If fight goes in later rounds I see Hendricks taking it, even if his cardio isn't the best either. Also, both of these fighters have one punch knock-out power. It could finish anytime.
I give it to Hendricks tho.

Evans, Magomedov, don't give a f about eye vs pena...
Benavidez and Yair on preliminary lmao
Also interested in Sage Northcutt's first fight in UFC.

This.

inb4 'omg fake belt waaaaaaah wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' 'omg not the real champ durka derrrrrrr'

DC vs Gus for the REAL LHW BELT is such a breath of fresh air for that division.



Some of the bigger fights actually do have potential to be boring due to a lot of strong wrestlers, but at the same time there is too much potential for some epic **** to happen. A lot of the non-title fights on this card are also very related to the title pictures. Gonna be siiiick.. unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to watch it live, though.

[Gainzzz]

Hendricks/Woodley cancelled, wooooooooooow.

Taken from mmafighting.com:

HOUSTON -- Johny Hendricks vs. Tyron Woodley is off UFC 192.

According to Hendricks' manager Ted Ehrhardt, Hendricks suffered a blockage in his intestine last night while cutting weight, as well as a kidney stone. He was rushed to the emergency room and had to be given an IV. UFC president Dana White announced via Twitter Friday morning that Hendricks-Woodley was off due to "Hendricks weight cut issues."

The welterweight contender fight was scheduled to be the co-main event of tomorrow's UFC 192 card.

[CanardLaque]

That sucks, for the Hendricks Vs Woodley fight..wtf.

[John L]

DC vs Gus for the REAL LHW BELT is such a breath of fresh air for that division.

Well, there should be an asterisk next to that. DC just lost to the champ and only got has the belt now because Jones is in love with the coco. It's definitely a paper belt and DC is a paper champ.

Also lol at the Hendricks fight. UFC cards can never go through as planned.

[miscHelix]

This is the second fight in a row woodlies opponent had issues cutting weight.

[MinisterOfLust]

Hendricks/Woodley cancelled, wooooooooooow.

Damn! I spoke too soon about this card being great. Fucc

[dingler]

Kinda pissed had to go through and change all of my draftkings lineups

[yusuf_ali]

**** was lookin forward to that fight the most! Dana must be furious lol

[ElixanderVild1]

Yeah, that kind of takes a lot of the shine off the card... Get Someone else to jump in, last minuet... Sucks for Woodly too, train hard, do a full camp all the fight prep... And Hedricks can't fight because he has a poorly tummy..

not just that, it took him months and months to actually get the fight to begin with. then the camp, then the weight cut.

i'd be beyond pist.

[MinisterOfLust]

IV ban hates him

[5arG]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??... I just got back home from gym and see this depressing news

fk this ghey earth, gtfo Hendricks u fat hobo..no wonder he gets so much hate

[Yotone]

Benson Anderson says he can make weight. Now we wait!

dis true?

[skinnytobulk]

dis true?

doubt it.

The welterweight contender fight was scheduled to be the co-main event of tomorrow's UFC 192 card. As a result, Joseph Benavidez vs. Ali Bagautinov has been moved to the main card.

"I'm frustrated, obviously," Woodley told MMAFighting.com. "I'm always trying to look for the lesson in things and positive signs. I believe things happen for a reason.

"I'm counting this as a loss for him. You got to make the weight. I'm sitting here at weight, wired, ready to wage war and now I'm not going to get that opportunity.

"Hopefully, I'm compensated accordingly because this shouldn't be a strike against me. It's almost as if I lost if I just get show money. I could have been knocked out in the first minute and just get show money. I hope and pray I am taken care of because I had a lot of plans for that win money.

"And I shouldn't have to fight anyone else, do anything else spectacular ... nothing . I should be next for the title shot now. It's called professional mixed martial arts for a reason. There should be some level of professionalism involved."

Benson Anderson says he can make weight. Now we wait!

Bens a warrior, but Woodley is perhaps too big a step up from 155 for him... He just doesnt have the power to outmatch the top of that division. he struggles finishing 155ers, and Woodley is no Brandon Thatch where Ben could take advantage of his inexperience.

I do admire his willingness, but dont envy his chances in that matchup.

[chroneos]

Hoping julianna pena gets KTFO after her ufukkinwotm8 women rule the world, sell more fights and deserve 10x more money than males.

expecting a snoozefest from rashad and bader.

I think gus will edge cormier.

[TheIronAsylum]

the wrestlefuk card of the century



leave it to UFC to cancel the most interesting fight on the card lol

[MinisterOfLust]

dis true?

Doubt it but on his twitter:https://twitter.com/BensonHenderson/...00103537643520

cliffs
-Woodley gets the title fight
-Not interested in fighting Hendricks because it would be backtracking for him

Would love to see Condit - Woodley 2 for the title

[Rain50]

I seriously hope they make Woodley fight again. He hasn't fought since JANUARY.. that's when Lawler and Condit fight for the belt. It would be a joke if they let Tyron wait that long for a title fight. They should pin him against someone on the same UFC 195 card.

Let's be honest here, Woodley hasn't exactly done anything amazing to deserve to be able to wait that long for a title shot.

[Gainzzz]

anyone else think Bader is looking good? i swear he's looking faster and way more comfortable on the pads than he used to. could be an interesting fight.

I like Bader and hope he wins but lets be honest

He ain't getting no title shot even if he beats Rashad with Jones coming back.

At least give him a tune up fight but I think he should be given a title shot. I mean who else we got after Condit/Lawler that deserves one?

If Condit wins then Woodley vs Condit 2 could be huge

And if Lawler wins expect a bloodbath and we can see how much heart Woodley has

[Vayne]

I don't think Gus has the power to finish Cormier. Cormier will treat him like Johnson, the wrestling and take downs will be enough.

This

If Johnson couldn't put away Cormier no way Gus will.

I thought DC was dead after Johnson hit him with that first shot but he just popped right back up
