UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Neal

[sooby]

looks like a really nice card tbh, lol at Pettis being on the prelims after being the wheaties champion.

Feel like we might see some upsets here, Peireira vs Williams should be entertaining

[q0c0p]

Yeah card looks solid. Good matchups. Khaos vs periea gonna be fun

[Gringo12]

I've got;

Thompson W
Jose Aldo W
Khaos Williams W by KO/TKO
Pettis W

[Schnitzl]

Throwing it down this way:

Neal by decision
Huge upset Vera by decision
Pereira by KO
Moraes by KO
Tybura by dec

I smell a lot of decisions coming. Let's see the undercard

Pettis decision
Arroyo by sub
Nchukwi by KO
Flick by sub

Rest don't know

[IronILLinois]

this Neal guy is wild. literally had heart failure 4 months ago and they don't even know why.

[MJAffliction]

Card is decent. I'm hoping for the OG's, Wonderboy and Showtime getting W's here. I don't get why Pettis is fighting at 170.

[OttomanEmpire]

Solid card for fight night. Looks like main card is going to be all stand up?

[Gainzzz]

Very good Fight Night card

We were supposed to have Chimaev vs Scott on this card as well, would've been insane

My picks:

Neal
Aldo
Pereira
Moraes
Tybura

If the Wonderboy of old shows up he should win but I think age will be a factor in this fight. His whole style is based around speed, movement, reflexes, etc. Neal should be able to land on him if he has lost a step.

I think those would be my picks as well. Geoff Neal is a savage in there and I think can catch Wonderboy. but Wonderboy is still always dangerous though for people who overcommit to their strikes.

Sucks there won't be another UFC fight card in pretty much a month after this.

It's an early start, with the main card starting at 7 pm keep in mind

[sdmk]

people sleeping on Wonderchad
surprised he's an underdog

I think its easy to comp it to costa adesanya with this one as assume wonderboy will just dodge neal, but he's a little bit older and neal is a little bit twitchier - see him KO perry EASY.



FKN great card lads, if only King Chimaev was fighting.


Absolutley pumped for Perieira and Khaos. I think Perieira is the truth

[MinisterOfLust]

I love Aldo, but it's seems to me that he can't compete at a higher level anymore. His last few fights he fought like a guy who was afraid to lose instead of going there as fighter who wants to win a fight.

[Schnitzl]

Flick by sub

Gotta cash in, that's the only one I'm going to hit today lol

[BobLoblawBrah]

Winn looks absolutely ridiculous lol. Such a DC favor career.

He looks like a soccer ball to arroyo

[MinisterOfLust]

All the miscers were rooting for this manlet.

[sdmk]

always bet on manlet

[Gainzzz]

From a 10/10 event last week to a 1/10 so far tonight

The main card should deliver tho

Yeah, lots of mismatched

morono looks tired af

morono looks tired af

close fight. pettis fighting on the back foot countering-- hard for a 3 rounder

[Coach McGuirk]

Pettis rd 2 & 3

[sooby]

that wheel kick was a thing of beauty

[sooby]

yeah, 170 definitely isn't Pettis' division, but I doubt he will have that much success because 155 is a bloodbath. There's no one in the top 10 who couldn't potentially lay an asswhooping on Pettis. Hell even Makhachev and Dariush who are outside the top 10

Hate to say because he's still only 33 though with alot of mileage, but his days of competing for a belt are over, game just flew past him

[BobLoblawBrah]

I wouldnt be surprised if Pettis doesnt get a new contract.

[BobLoblawBrah]

This is actually the most interesting 5 fight main card all year. Every fight has dudes in it that are fun to watch. No WMMA. I actually think the main event is the 3rd or 4th most interesting fight lol.

This will be a true test for Greg Hardy, see if he's actually legit or not

[Austin317]

This will be a true test for Greg Hardy, see if he's actually legit or not

Even if he does beat tybura it’s still a farcry from the top 10 guys in heavyweight, I can’t see him beating any of the top 10 if I’m honest here

[BobLoblawBrah]

Hardy fighting liking hes in a long term relationship with this guy

[sooby]

Hardy looking really fast and sharp with his striking

[sooby]

Even if he does beat tybura it’s still a farcry from the top 10 guys in heavyweight, I can’t see him beating any of the top 10 if I’m honest here

perhaps, but Tybura definitely a big step up in competition, seems like he's getting better after each and every fight
