Thoughts? Predictions?

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Dos Anjos is such a throwback Brazilian, very entertaining and that man is hungry, still like Pettis though but I'm a fan of both. I don't say that too often.

 

[8====D]

just glad to see pettis is escaping injury and defending his belt more
them body kicks

damn, ufc stepping their promo game up i see. i have pettis, big country, hendricks, and joanna. cant remember much about carla tbh but joanna seems pretty beastly on her feet and her tdd is somewhat solid

 

[jackswstd]

I got both champs retaining their respective titles, I'm rooting for Dos Anjos but a healthy Pettis is the most dangerous fighter in the UFC.

Pettis
Esparza
Roy is gonna knock Reem's head into about the 5th row
Hendricks

Pettis vs Dos Anjos or Hendricks vs Brown will be FOTN

If you're talking about the video, it's fan made.

I've been holding off on buying tickets for this fight due to the inevitable, but I guess it's safe to drop my money now. I like RDA, but if he knocks off Pettis he'll move into my top 5. I don't hate anybody more in MMA than Anthony Pettis and I despise pretty much every big name that trains at Roufusport, so the opportunity to be there in person if he loses the belt is too much to pass up.

I think Pettis is going to win, because the guy is a monster and a horrible matchup for everybody in the division not named Khabib. But I'll be cheering for RDA with every ounce of breath in my body.

The UFC doesn't really push the 3rd fight on a card, unless it's a big name fighter.

Pettis is your most hated fighter? Why? Other than being cocky, Pettis seems like a likeable guy imo Plus, he's one of the most exciting fighters in MMA.

Have fun at the event breh it's a great card.

Pettis comes across like a dikk. Did you see his embedded show where he was in his barbershop which looked like a gigantic shrine to himself?
