Gonna be hilarious to see mcgregor have a hard time reaching diaz and losing by decision. and then being ground and pound to a pulp by rds. i dont dislike mcgregor, but this is the future.

Where's the guy who did the prediction game thread for the last PPV?

That chit was actually pretty fun

[Gainzzz]

Not sure if this has been posted in another thread

[hammercurl]

Anyone else feel that the ufc are trying to undermine Holly Holm by not putting her as headliner? yea forget ppv's for a minute as there are other headliners they put on that sell less that what Holm would. Not that i think women should headline anyway. But i feel ufc have no intention of investing in Holm one little bit

IDK, they are doing open workouts this week though.

i am a very passive ufc fan who watches big fights only. i will be in vegas this weekend. is this event worth going to?

[Satrakian]

Im so fkn happy that I can watch the whole event live on Dutch television. (main event starts at 4:00 AM Dutch time)

I've always had to wait the day after to download it while trying to avoid social media for the outcome..

brb wake up
brb forgot to avoid social media

Naw

No way McGregor can't headline this card.

Another big card for Holm to have her name on and cement her name further with the fans.

Sure her next fight vs Ronda or not will headline. Even if its a fox event

I agree but maaaybe they think she needs help getting known.

Throw her on before Conor. More fans see her again. People go omg and then she can headline.


I really don't know why tho. Just throw ads up "the only woman to beat rhonda"

"Rhonda killer fights again"

[Gainzzz]

Conor looking the same size as he did at 145, oh ok then Jefferey. See, I don't just ride dicks uncontrollably, I call it like I see it and it's somewhat concerning. Nate will look so much bigger on fight night.

Press conference is tomorrow at 1.00 right?

Nah i didnt mean ti imply she should be headlining this card ahead of McGregor

you're possibily right about your first point, and agree about your last sentence, after all lets not pretend rousey got well known on her own merits. it was down to the ufc mentioning her every 5 seconds, paying celebs and non mma media outlets to talk about her and the ufc. I still see a reluctancy to push her though and Dana white coming out with excuses for rouseys loss was laughable.

its a win-win-win for her. more exposure, almost no media obligations, and she gets PPV points now so she will make like 3x more money in the co-main spot than she would headlining a card no one would otherwise buy.

Shouldn't make a difference, TBH. Nate isn't physically strong and doesn't wrestle. I could see Conor sticking and moving more rather than bringing relentless pressure, though. I still think he gets Nate out of there in the first.

good point.

what will be interesting is the chit talking inside the octogon, Diaz always does it and usually his oponents dont react to it, Whilst this time McGregor will be doing his own chit talking rather than reacting

[Gainzzz]

The more of this chit I watch, the more I want Nate to win. I've always said that a full camp Nate gives Conor a lot of problems. I just think he's there mostly for the money.

Fuark, gonna be chit to see either of them lose.

"You have a ****ing guy swinging a ****ing pool noodle at you, smacking you in the face with it, trying to promote his own ****"

looool

[RScary15]

Watching the day 3 embedded Nate really seems happy going into this fight.

Maybe its cause he knows Conor will scrap with him.

Good chit to see from him.

[AirJordanB]

ayy lmao

[MinisterOfLust]

ayy lmao

Now I finally get the reference. lol

[chucksmanhood]

"Rhonda killer fights again"

[chucksmanhood]

Nate will look so much bigger on fight night.

Not really, he'll be 2.5 inches taller, that is it.

[chucksmanhood]

I still think he gets Nate out of there in the first.

Wanna bet? Playboy.
