[Discussion Thread] UFC 234: Robert Whitaker vs Kelvin Gastellum

[DrewDarden]

This event has been called topheavy, and maybe that's true. But the main and co-main are compelling enough to carry a card in my mind.

Is normal.

[iloveus]

Only one I'm excited about is Stylebender vs The Spider.

If only Anderson was 5 years younger...

Whitaker/Gastelum is a good fight too.

[FailedPotential]

Looking forward, Israel is a striker, Anderson will probably stand with him

Interested to see how this goes, would not be surprised if Anderson gives an upset. His record since the worst Weidman fight looks bad... but I think I said this before... he fked around with Weidman and got caught... freak accident in their next fight, Bisping fight was close if I recall correctly... then he lost to Daniel Cormier at 205

His recent bad record is deceiving as fuk, I think people underrating him

That's later tonight, February 9th, 2019, not February 10th

[Gizzyhardcore]

kinda surreal

I trained at city kickboxing in 09/10, trained with Izzy when he started, was friendly with Eugene as he lived in the same apartment block as me.
Watched Silva vs Sonnen 1 round at Eugene's place, pretty sure Izzy was there, we where all screaming at the TV saying one more round... *wow*

And now here we are!

[superman704]

I predict Silva gets brutalized badly

Yes the reason the poster says the tenth is because it will be the tenth in Australia.

Whitaker/gastelum is gonna be such an interesting clash. If kelvin pulls this off then man he just beat a lot of elite mws.

[Wamrage76]

I got Israel by first degree murder.Andy got schooled by Bisping and got gifted a decision against Brunson who Israel easily beat.

Whittaker vs Kelvin is 50-50.

Oh ok

I think Silva gets KO'd badly, but he is such a legend he will get KO'd and instead of doing 'the scarcrow' as he's knocked out like in the below gif, he'll put his hands up and his leg slightly out like he's doing the CRANE KICK and somehow levitate off the ground

[4Adz4]

I like Silva and Israel, I’m not ready for the feels when Adesanya lays him out.. decision please.

Silva crying at the face off is a very ominous sign if you ask me

[doughnutking]

I still believe in Anderson Silva

[441Forty]

I'm hard-pressed to see the Israel/Anderson fight turn out to be anything other than an underwhelming decision for Israel

I'm thinking Whittaker slows down Kelvin a lot too. Gas has those aggressive combos and a granite chin but I feel Whittaker will be able to control distance and keep the pace of the fight where he wants it to be to a confortable decision. However, Romero may have done some damage to Whittaker, in their last fight especially, that shows itself tonight

[sooby]

I honestly want to see Gastelum win for the lulz, but I think Whittaker wins. But Gastelum has some really good boxing. Not to mention he still has power at middleweight while having the quickness advantage in most cases. Is it just me or is Gastelum looking more joocier no homo.


Fuark man this is gonna be good

[d1154802]

i have robert whitaker winning a decision against kevin gastellum. as for the anderson silva fight i feel like andy is declining in terms of reflexes and should not play around. if andy takes it serious he could be able to hang with adesanya.

[VladimirVega]

This card sucks! Except the main and Co-main event! Srs who tf are these guys?
Not PPV worthy

[PepperedAngus]

this ppv went from poverty to garbage

I kept checking the MMA news this AM waiting for just such an announcement. For some reason I had a feeling this one was going in the trash bin, after Gastelum made weight yesterday I almost thought we were in the clear for a sub par but still pretty decent 2 fight event. Nope.
