Eddie TKO 4th rd - Gone back and forth on this, Eddie is hittable and Conor has heavy hands and excellent range but Conor doesn't exactly have the greatest defense either and I just think Eddie provides a mix of things that we've seen as vulnerabilities in McGregors game most specifically with cardio and takedown defense. He can do the things that worked for Chad Mendes but at a higher pace, with more discipline and a better gas tank.

Thompson TKO 2nd rd - Kind of 50/50 on this one, I think there is a bit of a Machida-effect going on with Thompson, everyone gets figured out eventually and with the way Thompson uses angles his defense is so reliant on range which can be easy to misjudge against a guy who closes the distance like Woodley.

KK UD - Just a gut feeling :yeshrug:

Weidman SUB 3rd rd - Think Weidman fights cautious early, does a bit of wall and stall and tires Romero out, hope Yoel can show me wrong

Edgar UD - Speed

MJ TKO 1st rd - Khabib can be sloppy and MJ hits hard :manny:

@ this card....




Eddie Alvarez vs. Conor McGregor: IMO Connor loses his biggest weapon(punching power) when he fights at a higher weight

Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson: Think Rashad/Machida:lolbron:

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz: Should be a good fight but womens fights dont end in KO's and JJ is a point scoring machine

Miesha Tate vs. Raquel Pennington: The sun is setting on Misha:wow:
Frankie Edgar vs. Jeremy Stephens: I hate Frankie but his speed,movement and conditioning will win this fight if he doesnt get caught RD1

Tim Kennedy vs. Rashad Evans: Could go either way... I want Rashad to win tho :sadcam:

Tim Boetsch vs. Rafael Natal: if he can defend the take downs I believe Tim by TKO in the second:obama:

Jim Miller vs. Thiago Alves: dudes a monster... too bad he has trouble making weight lol:snoop:
Lyman Good vs. Belal Muhammad::yeshrug:whoever
Liz Carmouche vs. Katlyn Chookagian: My girl Chook bout to show out:banderas:

Michael Johnson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov: This dude hits hard and Khabib has poor defense

Chris Weidman vs. Yoel Romero: Yoel KO's Chris RD1 or loses... thats all there is to this one. I think Chris takes him down and grinds it out.

I got Conor by tko in 2nd or 3rd round. I think Eddie does a job mixing it up and tries to dirty box Conor but Conor gonna catch up close 2 the cage wit a short nasty hook or uppercut. Eddie may nt even see it coming.

I think Woodley 2 rnd ko, I see him jus running thru Thompson much like he did wit Lawler.

The more I think about it...the less chance I give Woodley...

If he fights aggressive and tries to smother WB's range....he should win...but I think he's gonna have too many moments when he's not being active and a wrestler isn't gonna win a chess match with a Grandmaster...I think the SD goes the other way now :yeshrug:

Woodley is gonna sleep this boy, i promise that. Wonderboy cant handle that power.

Weidman is my boy, but Rockhold exposed his ground game, he's not that dominate... Yoel will be able to keep it on the feet and he will knock him out in the first.

Conor is gonna get wrecked in the clinch. Idk the round, but Eddie will chew him up.

Meisha, Joanna will win.

I think Frankie can get caught by Stevens early, he'd be wise to use his wrestling.

I pray MJ takes Khabib out quick, he has a chance, if Khabib gets in to grapple its a wrap.


edit: Belal Muhammad is a beast, i like that dude. I hope he wins. That fight vs Jouban was off the hook.

I just dont see how Pennington wins. She's looked pretty wack in all her fights. Even the fight with Holly was a snoozer, she didn't look great.

I think Meisha wins with a UD

Carmouche is starting the "biggest baddest card" on a boring note. Hopefully this card doesn't go like 200 where every fighter is fighting not to lose as oppose to just going out there to win
