love the price on johnson at evens or 5/4 by ko/tko(lads)
im a bit worried if struve manages to get him to the ground though
you wouldnt think by looking at both of them that struve only
has a 2inch reach advantage
I see johnson knocking out struve


really looking forward to seeing prices on the cb mayhem bout
im finding it hard to price that one but am hoping mayhem
is favourite so i can have a bet on dolloway

As for mir jds, jds wins this easily
frank wont get jds down and i see jds stopping mir in the 2nd round
i cant see anything but a one sided match


cant wait to see brandao also

Regarding Hardy being cut if he loses: They say the UFC is coming to Nottingham later in the year, if it is then Hardy will definitely be on the card.

I wouldnt read too much into the training on the primetime shows, if we go by that Mir has trained for this fight by runnin up a hill(badly), rolling round on the mats with his kids and smoking cubans. Would love Mir to win, his fights are generally entertaining and his cocky persona is funny. i wouldn't write him off as easy as everyone else is

Yeah Hardy would have to get the chop, pity, cause hes entertaining too

prices out on some of the prelims
as expected brandao very short at 2/7

mayhem is 4/6 and cb is 11/10 (only checked pp so far)

i know mayhem cant possibly be as bad this time round and
maybe im writing him off but dolloway is no slouch and that
looks value to me
theres surely a risk of cb getting cut after losing two in a row
so he'll surely leave it all out there

Cain is looking slimmer than ever, he looks good for this fight, hoping he can get the W this weekend.

Kind of hoping Mir wins for two reasons.

I'm biased towards submission guys for one and secondly what was that nonsense Junior was saying about him not being a man and not able to come back from a bad situation. All he has to do is look to the fight where his coach got his arm broke. He can't believe that rubbish, maybe Franks right saying he's just trying to hype up the fight?

Reastically Junior should win with his footwork and not letting Mir clinch with him.

He might've been talking about the likes of the Brock fight when he SEEMED to give up and curl up in a ball.

Although maybe nobody has told him that Mir was almost killed in that crash and completely f*cked up his femur and all of his knee ligiments and STILL managed to come back to such a high level!

I believe the specific incident Junior said on the primetime was against Shane Carwin. For me, that's nothing like giving up, it's not like he tapped from strikes he just got knocked senseless.

Didn't see Primetime yet however his answer to Ariel on mmafighting interview was flakey.

Have changed my mind a few times on who I think will win this one. Have JDS for his stand up and think his takedown defence will be primed for testing, would be happy to be wrong though. Not a hope I'll bet on this one.

Very true i remember seeing that now and hearing him talk about Carwin!

But at the same time, I think sometimes things said during a build up to a fight should really be taken with a pinch of salt. Whatever gets you into the best "mode" for finishing the guy!

The big problem is Mir is not great at takedown's-not bad from the clinch but his shot is useless and i just don't see him having the speed to even get into the clinch.

Yeah meant more the clinch take down which won't be easy when eating shots from JDS.

Can't wait for this card. All the fighters look in good shape most of them weighting lighting that they have recently. Heavyweight division looking a hell of lot better than it did 2 years ago.
