[Primetime]

shyt i forgot about this. Gon have to drop some cash on this and Garcia/Porter

Till might be drained from the weight cut heh? Usually i wait to the day of to bet just in case some fukkery happens during weigh-in

Dawg till literally fights with his hands down, and has zero head movement. Tyron going to take his chin off when he explodes forward.

Honestly the only thing till got is size.

I think Till's chin is the deciding factor.

They'll probably both have a plodding fight toward a decision but Tyron's power tends to help in that style with flash knockdowns/KOs

Yes. Like I said: he is the only BLACK champion. Dude was dancing with fried chicken on national TV. There's 1 black champion.

Montana should instantly be stripped of her title. It looks like they made Andrade - Karolina the co-main event..

Should've:

1. Stripped her of the title
2. Made a title fight between Karolina and Valentina OR take these 2 fighters of this card (sucks for Andrade) and give Karolina the chance to do a cut and move the fight to the next UFC, 229

It was clear as day, even from watching Embedded, that she had 0 desire to fight. You barely see her actually train in the first 3 Embeddeds. She was doing hot yoga and talking about her Native American heritage (which is dope) but in the meantime you saw Valentina kick a bag 70 times with each leg AFTER training.

This and the McKenzie Dern 7-8 pounds overweight and still celebrating like she achieved something fiasco and also the terrible decision win of Nunes are the 3 recent low points in women's MMA in the UFC.

With his hands down, you mean by his side? I see him fight with his hands raised (this muay-thai type of style, or his interpretation of it) looking to pot shot and hit 1 hard shot here and there. Everything in the lead up screams: this is the old Tyron.

I do have to say: he was talking like this BEFORE Wonderboy 2 and there was not 1 ounce of aggression coming from Woodley to the point where even Thompson said he was really surprised how much Woodley would not engage. This is why he's the champ, he really analyzes each opponent and limits mistakes (kind of like Mayweather).

My main worries for Woodley:
-becomes too hesitant to take action because he doesn't want to take ANY risks - loses on points
-gets rocked and can't recover - I've N E V E R seen him get tested, so I don't even know if he has a chin. He's basically that good he eliminates the best weapons from opponents

Till will be a champion one day, at 185. But I do think that IF he does what you said (be explosive) that Tyron is too much, he's too experienced, too calm.

She is stripped, sucks for her missing out on a title fight pay day, on the embedded episode where she was buying food she used foodstamps to pay for it

 

[8====D]

Yikes! Stripped with the quickness. Dana don't love these hoes lol

 

[jackswstd]

The WME era continues to be terrible

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Nico Montana has 'vacated' the title Dana White has announced. But it sounds more like she has been stripped. Valentina will fight for the title soon.
