That was quicker than I expected! :P:pac:

I got the "service unavailable" message unfortunately. I was hoping El Guapo! would bail me out before anyone noticed. :pac:

After my Rumble/Bader efforts I turned notifactions on your posts so I could learn from the 'best'.....guess I'll have to find someone else to learn from now :P;)

Hendricks is going to lay and pray for 5 rounds,''does that make sense''.

Nice and floaty Artem.

Looking forward to his fight and hope he proves himself. Was such an awful fight with Ryan Hall.

Not a great performance, but can't realy fault him either. Ryan's a phenomenal grappler and shut him down in a big way.

Borg vs Scoggins should be on main card. Could be a good one

I think Johnny will grind a decision but f*ck it, I'm going with Wonderboy by KO, come on man!!

Hoping Artem can land a big KO!

It probably only allows 1 poll per thread. Don't give Paully ideas for another thread because its giving El Guapo extra work :pac:

Hendricks by Submission

God I hope Thompson can win this by KO as I can't stand Hendricks, but I am almost certain this will turn into a typical Hendricks performance of late, with some striking, but heavily based on taking people down and holding them there. AKA dull. Is Thompson's takedown defence any good for the possibility of making this interesting? I know he's pretty good on the feet.

Fairly dull card overall on paper, I am tired of seeing Big Country swing for 2 minutes looking for an overhand right then take a hammering until the final bell and losing a lop sided decision, I don't care who wins that one as long as it's over quickly.

Was always a fan of Mike Pyle but he's on a bad run of late, but his opponent was beaten by Pendred...

Benavidez to win again I am sure. Fairly sure OSP gets the win also.

PS. "THAT'S IT AR-TEM, JAB RIGHT HOOK, ATTTABOYYYY"

Hopefully wonderboy can keep the distance and pick him off at will.

The bookies can't separate Artem (4/5) v White (1/1).

Would absolutely love Wonderboy to knock him out, but I can only see Hendricks humping him to a unanimous decision.

This.

This fight does not appeal to me at all. Hendricks used to be exciting to watch around the time of Waldburger and Fitch but he's been about as interesting as white paint the last 2 years or 3 years.

Subcomandante Marcos

Thompson by Decision

Big Rig TKO from a big over hand right followed by ground and pound.

JoeyJJ

Hopefully Wonderboy catches him in shot however lay and pray, he has good footwork and might be able to keep it standing a good bit.

Lukker-

Against GSP, Hendricks must have had a small chemistry lab running through his veins. That was his best fight by far, but he's not looked anywhere close to that since.

I'm hoping he has better cardio now that he isn't 25% body fat and we actually see a fight but I think USADA killed the Big Rigg that showed so much promise a few years ago.

Swashbuckler

Hendricks by Submission

Hendricks hasn't been the same since that loss to gsp. After losing that fight he's just put emphasis on safety first and securing rounds. Pity coz he used to be an exciting guy to watch.

ASOT

Hendricks by Submission

After watching hendricks last 6 fights iv come to the conclusion that I actually hate him and would be delighted to never see him fivhft again, he's got fitch boring at a rapid pace. He will find a way to turn what would have been a cracking fight three years ago into a snooze fest.

He's 1-2 in the ufc, will stand and trade and get knocked out. He's a tall southpaw with a bit of bjj. It's Artems fight to lose.

Davei141

Hendricks is the best welterweight in the UFC and seeing the pics of him in great shape doesn't bode well for Thompson or the rest of the division.

Hopefully it's a quick knock out so they repeat it on the main broadcast

Do they still do that? Thought that stopped with the introduction of fight pass and fox prelims?

Anyone watch the preview?

Can't help but admire Wonderboy. Can never warm to Hendricks.

Gamebred

Its been done to the death but the ufc is turning into the wwf having this Gall v Jackson fight on,a 1-0 guy fighting a member of the media they have no shame I know its business and all,if Ar-tem wasnt on the prelims I'd vote with my feet and not watch them,the only silver lining will be that rookie CM Punk getting strangled on ppv if Gall is any use.

Hendricks looking thick, solid and tight
