[PepperedAngus]

2 girl fights on the PPV... what a year end card.

The only thing saving this is that cyborg barely counts as a girl and is one of the only saving graces of wmma.

in for Condit comeback and hopefully Barboza KOing khabum.

You hate women brah?

Anyway, I am actually excited about this card.

[scooterbrah]

what a year end card.
.

yeah this card isnt getting the blood flowing at all like you'd expect for a year end card. will watch for condit/magny but meh

[PepperedAngus]

nah i dont hate women, I just hate watching women do manly things much worse than men.

This card just doesnt have the ooomph we usually get from a year end card, but then again, 217 and 218 were both really good, so I guess theres not much left to set up right now, every card cant be stacked when they have 2 cards/month.

Ill still stream this one, the only fight I really dont care about is the Cynthia Calvillo vs. Carla Esparza match, the rest should be good, especially if Khabib gets ktfo.

The wife's out tonight so I'm going to have a few, watch this thing, and misc with your fukers.

Pretty excited about it.

It's lacking name value and the 2 biggest fights on the main seem predictable, but with the prelims factored-in I think it's a pretty solid card. Will lol later tonight when we sit through 15 minutes of Esparza double-legging and holding down Calvillo.

[Deathstroke]

gonna have few drinks too, that should make it more enjoyable for sure!

Scooter is likely going to have some more snacks. He loves his PPV munchies.

I don't know, there's 3 fights I am looking forward to on the main card. The other has potential and the last one is between two names I do not ta.

You drink now brah? And Scooter wears pantyliner so he is a *******

[DFS200]

Delarosa is definitely a soft 135er, but he has good boxing and submission skills. I expect Elliott to be physically stronger, especially as a grappler, and he has the edge in experience, but Delarosa looks to be a good prospect.

Edit: Delarosa hasn't fought a wrestler like Elliott and he expectedly failed the test. We didn't get to see his boxing at all due to Elliott hunting the takedown. I really feel Elliott could win these fights in easier ways without inviting wild scrambles, but that's just who he is.

Spoiler!

[MinisterOfLust]

^^^^^^Lame

[Jburn]

Ahhh, here we are at the end of 2017. I've been looking forward to this card.

I got a bottle of scotch, and best of all no CuckSWRV in this thread!!

It's going to be a good night, boyos!

Wild Turkey neat do it.....DO IT.

[DFS200]

Smolka is pretty scrappy on the feet but I think Nicolau has the power edge. Smolka is a wizard on the ground, but Nicolau is a black belt and has never lost by sub. Therefore, Nicolau is the rightful favorite, but Smolka can catch him if he's not careful.

[Deathstroke]

the Flyweights are so tiny....that they're adorable. Would pet/10

[DrewDarden]

Terrible tattoo on Nicolau's back.

What would make somebody want that?

[scooterbrah]

this 1 guy is getting rekt by the other guy.

Leben still has the GOAT back piece

[FailedPotential]

What is Smokla even doing in there? Does he even lift?

[DrewDarden]

this 1 guy is getting rekt by the other guy.

Quit acting like you don't know who Louis Smolka is.

[DFS200]

nicolau has really good boxing.

This is the best he's looked on the feet in the UFC, but Smolka really isn't a striker.

[IIIWolverineIII]

Wtf is that tattoo

edit: Satan. Got it.
