    Sounds about right. Also the event itself is 4 hours rather than the normal 3 hour

    With only a 6 fight main card (and 1 5 rounder) its gonna be a hard push for that if a couple of fights end quick

    Madness the money Le is on when Cote is a massive favourite.


    Havent heard much of Chael Sonnen but I can only assume he's going to get his ass kicked.

    I'm more surprised Le is the underdog!

    This is gonna be a stand-up affair and, as much as I really like Cote, i can't see it going well for him!
    Havent heard much of Chael Sonnen .......

    It must be a hard life living under a rock :P

    I cant wait for this card i said early silva by decision but the rest of the card is top notch too. I hope tito leaves on a win as at one time he was the man and i love watch chung le so i hope he pulls off a highlight reel knockout.

    Silva looked pissed at the weigh ins. Do not see this ending well for Chael.

    The one thing I do respect about Sonnen is that he has never complained about his pay and has always stated that the UFC look after him well.

    Not sure why you'd see that as something to be respected tbh. Some fighters get paid crap for what they do, and the money they help the UFC rake in so their complaints are valid. Not everyone is gets as well looked after as Chael Sonnen.

    Look at the money Cote is on, someone who's fought for a title and had some really exciting fights. Gets canned, goes out and fights for peanuts probably, wins his way back in and that's the best they can do for him?

    You're crazy boosting worked wonders. I'd never boost a toss up fight like that.
    Suppose that's the difference between 1 and 9 though :pac:

    That's why i'm pretty clear at the top, using my boosts, adds 100 points a fight, no bother, and with a choice of gaining 100 or losing 50 it's a no brainer.

    most of my boosts tonight are the undercard, too many close fights on the main

    Phillippou's corner sounds like a scene from Goodfellas.

    Got home just in time for the Roller v Alessio fight and just as it was over my laptop died! Spent the entirety of the Phillipou v Fukida fight fixing it :(

    Just said this on Twitter but I love how both Goldberg and Rogan are handling having to say the name, Nurmagomedov, repeatedly. You can tell Goldberg spent forever practising it to himself whereas Rogan just jumps right in and gets it over with, quick and easy like a plaster, saying "Nurmegedov". They'd be fooked if they got a gig calling Euro 2012.

    No idea what Rogan is on about. He counts takedown defence over strikes landed and octagon control. As screwy as the scoring system is, Nurmagadomadagomadov won the fight fairly clearly.

    He may not have done much, but he did more than Khabib. What was it, like 12 takedown attempts and ALL failed? Gleison looked to land more in the exchanges as well.

    Or maybe I'm just bitter because I had boosted Gleison to win a decision in the fantasy league :pac:
