Read earlier that Big Nog has never lost 2 in a row. With such a long time in the MMA game that is an astonishing record.

What's the craic with this? It's on at a weird time right?

Serious amount of underwhelming cards with "UFC" branding on them lately!

Mr. Manager

Whatever happens I sincerely hope Guida loses and gets cut. He's such a nothing nowadays. Prances around and with Greg Jackson giving him a "gameplan" he's going nowhere.

Would much prefer one or two cards a month with great fights throughout, way too many average cards now.

Mr. Manager

I've just had a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UFC_events and there's so many fights that are headlining which are completely irrelevant. How the fúck does Matt Brown and Erick Silva headline??

El Guapo!

So many mediocre cards lately that there's been a good few events I've missed altogether and haven't even been bothered watching them back. And I used to watch every single fight all year round.

Back on topic: I still really can't warm to Nelson and I hope he loses. Other than that, there's not a lot to get excited about with this card. Hopefully some of the fights exceed expectations.

This.

I used to watch every fight from every promotion, now there are so many sub par events that I just cant be bothered with some of them!

I think mma has just been a fad thats running its course for you two buckos:pac:

I hope Nog know's he won't be KO'ing Country and goes for a nice sub instead. Nothing against Roy but Big Nog was always one of my favourite fighters.

Anyone know what time it's on?

Most cards these days are prelim quality of years gone by. Very few are stacked anymore, and when they are a bloody injury ruins the thing.

DrPhilG

I rarely miss a card, and I don't expect that to change. Of course with a stacked event and lots of fights with title implications the anticipation will be higher, but many of these dull (on paper) cards end up having great fights.

Zero-Cool

looks like the card is starting 5.15pm GMT on fight pass.

Devastator

Main card starts at 7 on espn, not sure why its not on btsport.

I can't see anything other than a big nog win

Davei141

It's a fight pass card. Bedford - yahya was a no contest due to accidental clash of heads. Shame I had a bed on it.

ASOT

Thank god that was deemed a no contest i had backed against bedford!

ASOT

Also Dan Hardy is a class commentator!

You are blessed there was no way Bedford wasn't going to TKO him, the size difference was unreal!

Yeah i didnt really look into that bout to much, have Omer in this. Decent fight so far!

Davei141

Great first round. I don't have a bet on this fight but very exciting first round. Omer with a broken thumb maybe?

Davei141

Serious fight right there, great performance from 2 UFC debutant's.

Yeah i was very impressed with both! Omer really needs to improve his ground game for future fights though!

ASOT

Leites should have this in the bag.

ASOT

Yep 30 second in haha

Davei141

Leites really needs a proper test! I can't see anything other than a rosholt win in this.

Yeah i have Rosholt in a seperate bet with Leites, Guida & a Big Nog submission! Very entertaining card so far!

Davei141

I have Rosholt, Darisuh, Kawajiri, La Flare on points and Roy Nelson, all in a few bets. May the best man win!

ASOT

I love roy so much but for some reason i just see him being beaten! Rosholts wrestling is amazing.

And now there both gassed.

Davei141

Terrible fight though, Rosholt should finish this. I am not that confident of a Roy win though but one pnuch on Nog and it is good night.

Yeah the boos are raining down, technical styles like this just arent entertaining ala why shields was cut.

Exactly roy just has that massive power that im afraid of!

Davei141

I don't mind good technical fights but Rosholt could have finished that at any point really. He needs to be a bit more adventurous against inferior opponents. Next fight should be good! If Nog avoids Roy's bombs in round 1 & 2 he takes it IMO.

Starts at 7 on Espn & 1:30 am on Bt Sports , didnt know Espn had the rights to show any events these days . Have backed Roy Nelson to win by TKO & a treble with Nelson , Guida & Dariush

ESPN UK is owned by BT Sport. Only a matter of time till they call it BT Sport 3 in my opinion

ASOT

Surprised that wasnt stopped earlier!! Laflare should have enough to beat howard here.

mailburner

backed howard pts as i thought it was too big at 13/2
just need doomsday to stay on his feet for some hope

took big nog pts also at 7/2

edit, just need howard to get back to his feet now

mailburner

good man doomsday

was just about to say balls to this

ASOT

Im fairly sure his balls are actually in his stomach

ASOT

Respect to Howard after that, Leflare making me sweat during the last two rounds!

mailburner

lol @ guida calling out conor
dont remember him calling out lads in the past

Davei141

Hahaha Clay guida just called out McGregor " UFC protecting this leprechaun" Brilliant! He usually doesn't call people out you are right mailburner.

ASOT

Id like to see that fight actually, alot more than miller v mcgregor

ASOT

Need a sub here for 115e

moneyman

Holy s**t. What a knockout. Vintage Nelson.

themandan6611

He might be dead

ASOT

that right hand is sick

Zero-Cool

Daaaaaaaaaaammm

Zero-Cool

Haha Guida not too happy about the new UFC game trailer

Dtp1979

Time for nog to hang up the gloves

p to the e

If it weren't for Volkov knocking out Mighty Mo in Bellator, Nelson would have gotten KO of the week.


Would like to see Leites get a much better opponent next time out.

That_Guy

Oh wow. Just watching this now. Incredible KO. Something we've not seen in a while from Nelson. Brilliant.
