    I see Jeff Monson is fighting on this card aswell. There's a blast from the past. He's on quite the winning streak aswell. Could be an upset as he's vastly the underdog going in according to PaddyPower.

    Gunnar match against him was awsome. How do you think it would fair in MMA?

    Looking forward to this. My predictions-- Ubereem is going to demolish Werdum - KO, and a brutal one too. & Josh will GnP the crap outta Rogers early, TKO

    Fight Ireland just a heads up, if it's found to your site it could ruin the work you've done. If your just embedding a code then it would be better to just post the original source here. I think Londoner is streaming this one anyway and he's usually the most reliable one out there.

    Jaysus ya man, if theres a chance it will wreck the site, don't mind it. Well if anyone has any streaming links, i'll sure they will be posted here anyway. Looking forward to this!

    Oh ya, the prelims are being shown on HDNET free at 1am. Not sure how it will work or what time but no harm keeping an eye on them.

    Overeem has been beating his opponents emphatically, Werdum won't get near him tonight.

    Yeah dude. It'll be the "extra 40 pounds of whoop ass" - lolcano!

    werdum will do a fedor on him and fake a knock down. When Overeem tries to finish he'll submit him.

    While i agree that Overeem has never really been tested recently etc etc.

    I still think he's going to take this by brutal KO. 4/6

    I can't stay up to watch this live tonight so I'm hoping to watch it tomorrow.

    Does anyone have a reliable source for downloading full events in decent quality the day after they've aired?

    I don't want to search for it tomorrow because Google will smash me over the head with spoilers.

    I'd say Uber has been watching Werdums fight with fedor very closely. If Werdum goes for a takedown, he will be decapitated by a knee. If he gets into a clinch Overeem will make bits of him. Werdum will need to have a serious gameplan going into this but it is possible he could win. Saying that, I can only see Ubereem demolising him.

    Really I'm thinking this is the classic fighter v. Grappler matchup.

    I can see Overeem getting caught in something eventually if it's on the ground a lot but I can see Werdum getting outmatched if he can't get it to the ground.

    All fights start standing so I think Overeem will take it.

    I never said that but Overeem is a far more technical fighter than Werdum and will win tonight. If you want to wager money on it PM me.

    Either way you are going to look silly in a few hours.

    I think it'll all depend on whether Overeem gasses with all the extra weight.

    If Werdum can avoid getting KTFOed early on, he can definitely submit a gassed Overeem.

    However, I think Overeem will pace himself, keep it standing all throughout and win by KO in the 2nd.

    Money is on Werdum , made me a tidy profit on a €5 stake by beating Fedor so will back him again even though my head says overeem but with his odds there is no point putting money on the big muscley sob :D

    If Werdum wins by a certain method the drinks are on me :D


    Edit : How did Barnett get a license to fight again in the US so soon :confused:

    Goodluck with the bet man, ya never know! Not sure but I wonder when he was last tested? Has to be some kind of procedure to give a guy more regular testing after failing 3 times.

    I lost all respect for Barnett after the 2nd fail. It's rare I'll side myself on the side of wanting to see someone get ktfo but I seriously hope Barnett rides queer st. early in rd.1 tonight !!!!!!

    Same, all links lead back to HD Net fights but no live link there.

    Ya, even if I can't get a working link tonight and will have to download it tomorrow, its better for the lads here to have live discussion during the event without spoiler tags all over the shop.
