    Watchin the Man Utd v Villa game and they just advertised UFC 107

    "Tonight at 2am"

    AFAIK though there's no Pre-Lims being shown tonight is there? The Sky Listings has UFC 107 starting at 3am.

    Has there been some sort of last minute Pre-Lim deal? Anyone clear this up for me?

    Yeah the Countdown Show is scheduled for that time.

    Which is good, because we all get to relive this:

    Can see BJ making easy work of Diego tonight. BJ has faster, better and heavier hands then Diego and has better BJJ. Only way the fight gets on the ground is if BJ wants it to go there. Diego's take downs wont be good enough.

    Diego to come running across the octagon like a mad man, BJ will catch him with a few punches. Diego will go for the takedown, BJ will do his balancing/hoping on one leg take down defence and win the clinch exchanges.

    This will happen in the first two rounds. Third round, BJ gets the take down, side control to mount, some ground and pound, takes Diego back and its goodnight from there.

    You could be right. Penn is better in every area except conditioning. I have a tough time seeing diego winning this tbh.

    Its cool to see how the fighters act behind the scenes...

    But you just have to lol at Diego Sanchez, he is totally insane. i think thats why i like him and i reckon he might upset BJ tonight.

    YES.

    I had septoplasty three days ago, so even though I am sitting here with a ****ed nose and should really be sleeping, I'll be staying up for this.

    Very difficult to predict the fights tonight.

    My picks in bold

    Just watched the weigh in video, Sanchez is hilarious. He looks like he wants to kill someone.

    And its even funnier when you see BJ just waiting patiently, Guida is pulling funny faces at the camera, Kenflo is joking around and Mir is relaxed... Diego looks like he is about to explode into a rage induced killing spree.

    Can't see fitch losing and I fancy Damarques to win, have a few accumulators myself they never work when doing them with all the fights, best thing to do is lump on with 3 or 4 you most fancy, have a tenner on

    BJ
    Kenny Florian
    Stefan Struve
    Frank Mir

    and of course a few small accumulators with different combos

    Gotta say i think that Guida is overpriced at 7/4 and have had 25 on him on boyles. Does kenflo stop him or submit him? cant see either of these and guida will be on kenny from start to finish. If m wrong then so be it, my bets for tonight

    25 on Guida at 7/4

    €20Acc pays 95 on below. Plus a few trebles and fourfolds on same combo.
    BJ
    Fitch
    Mir
    Buentello

    Man, i'm so excited for this card!

    Diego is SO intense! Did you see him waiting to get on the scale on the Vlog? The guy looked ready to smash everyone in the room!

    YES! YES! YES!

    The noise of that uppercut from Struve!

    Good to see The Headhunter back in the UFC but i think the sport has passed him by!

    Good survival by him in the 1st round!
