Masvidal is my dude

[Singularity7]

Lets see what the Funk Master can do against Caraway.
In to see Mieshas reaction.
Sterling is one of those rising fighters im keeping an eye on, seriously interested in him. Hope he blasts Caraway, no hate.

lol

[MaximusPlatypus]

Not joking, I have no idea who Almeida or Garbrandt are... I recognize every other name on the card, but never heard of these guys.

Will not watch lol

Just rewatching some prior fights. Almeida is good but hugely overrated because of his undefeated record. He was getting tagged repeatedly by old man Pickett, especially with the left hand. On the other hand, Cody has probably the best left hook in the division. His last fight and his finish over Brimage showed impressive boxing. Both of them can get tagged. I'd say Almeida has the better chin since Cody has been KO'd in an amateur fight by a short shot. Either can finish the fight. Garbrandt is a tool, but I'm leaning slightly towards him winning this one. Hope he gets finished though.

[Skin4arm]

Almedia is going to wrek cody.. just sit back and watch.

Cody going to end up like his boy andre filli.
good night sweet picasso

Will not watch lol

lmao me too. This is probably the first card in a decade where I have not heard of either of the guys in the main event.

The fight I was looking forward to the most was Stephens versus Barao, mostly to see Barao's return and to root for him to come back successfully.

After watching that weigh-in, I think Jeremy Stevens is going to fuk Barao up.

Stephens isn't very good though. I think the weight cuts became too much for Barao at 135. If he doesn't get USADA'd, he should definitely win. He's far more skilled.

I agree he's more skilled. I'm a fan.

In a little concerned about the look on Barao's face after Stephens shoved him and he damn near knocked him down.

Plus who knows where his confidence is after getting wrecked twice by TJ?

Doubt Renan's on PED's. Renan should only worry about Stephens random flurries and that's it. Stephens literally hasn't evolved after all this time. Still only has that knock em out mentality that just leads to him to knocking out top 20 nobodies.

[CaseyJamess]

So, so, so stoked for this card!!

[Groce]

why hasn't Rick Story fought since 2014 when he beat Gunna Nelson? That was a big win for him, Barao looks like a broken man these days
