Paully D

Date: Sunday 8th May
Times: Fight Pass Prelims (3:30pm, Fight Pass), Prelims (5pm, Fight Pass & BT Sport), Main Card (7pm, Fight Pass & BT Sport 2)
Venue: Rotterdam, Holland
Odds: Overeem (1/2) v Arlovski (9/5) and Horiguchi (1/5) v Seery (7/2)

What time will Neil Seery's fight be on?

Neil's fight with Horiguchi headlines the Fight Pass Prelims section of this card. There's 3 fights on this bill including the aforementioned, with the first kicking off at 3:30pm. It's likely that the fight will start at 4:30pm, but I'd tune in for 4:15pm just to be safe as a couple of early finishes may see them push on with this fight slightly earlier in order to use the remaining time to push Fight Pass advertisements.

As much as I love Arlovski, he's getting nowhere near the title. At least Overeem winning would make for a good contender.

That's true to be fair. I just really don't like Overeem.

Depp - WTF are you playing at? 197 was the 1st event thread with multiple poll options, fair enough if anyone didn't get it BUT this is the 2nd time you've selected every option?!?!? If you don't want to take part in a poll simply just f**king ignore it instead of ruining it for the rest of the forum

Is Overeem still weighing in at 265 these days? Thought he struggled to make that after he had to give up the juice.

Hasn't been close to 265 in a long while. He was high 50s for a while. Then low 50s verses Struve. 247 vrs Roy, 243 verses JDS.

It's hard to get Horsemeat in New Mexico

That's what I was thinking. I hate the stats UFC give. Jones has 86 inch reach for one fight, 84.5 in the next. JDS and Rothwell listed as same height etc. Makes it really hard to know how fighters actually compare until they fight.

Nate Diaz lost 3 inches before the McGregor fight too.

Whatever about cutting weight, cutting height must be super dangerous!

Are people really giving Seery that much of a shot against Horiguchi? :eek:

Neil is one of my favourite people in the UFC and I really, really want him to win, but this is a huge step up for him. Horiguchi has been excellent in the UFC so far and virtually went the distance with Mighty Mouse last year.

Horiguchi via unanimous decision unfortunately I think.

Hope Gunni pulls something out of the bag. It will be a tough night for him.

Did Arlovski paint his nails for the photo for that infographic?

Personally I voted with my heart and not my head for that one. I'd imagine it's the same for most people.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Paully! You liar!! :pac:

I've completely gone with my heart and my selfishness to want to go mad if he does win

Mr. CooL ICE

Seery to win by chasing Horiguchi around the octagon, trying to take his head off for fifteen minutes. Then gets fed to Mighty Mouse cos there really aren't many flyweights left for him.

You heard it here.

I would have to give Gunnar a definite and distinct advantage on the mat. While I don't think it will nessacarily be a submission win I do think he can grind out a decision if he keeps it on the ground once he gets it there.

Tumenov will be tough to take down though.

If Seery was to pull off the win he'd get a shot because MM has beaten everyone else. They were going to feed the winner of a TUF to MM next! But that looks like it's been scrapped now.

Am I the only one whod like to see smolka take on dj? think with his reach and size he could cause a few problems, if he wins his next hes right in the running i reckon

They probably wont cut him yet, he stepped in as a late replacement in his last fight and he was due to fight Paddy in this one and it changed. While he is rubbish and should be gone they will probably give him one more chance.

Depends how ruthless they want to be hes been pretty poor, he only beat montague who was basically a punching bag when he was in the UFC, your more than likely right though he might get one more.

This should be a decent hopefully Edwards gets the W

Ref is crap. "Action action action"

Not sure what more Edwards can do from that position on the ground.

ASOT

Edwards has it anyway id give Waters the second for a 29-28

He needs to get out of this round and get the thing to the deck early in the next

Axwell

Seery is some hard bastard, he was eating punches in that round. Hopefully now he is a bit more settled with that one out of the way.

Seery via Submission

Seery is tough as nails but he can't match this speed at all.

Seery doing good enough!

ASOT

This just shows how quick MM is he made Horiguchi look slow.

That_Guy

Seery via Submission

Neil looked a lot better in that round but he's really reluctant to double up on anything. He needs to swing now.

ASOT

Andy Ryan is a great cornerman, brilliant advice to Neil.

Anyone know what the story is with the main prelims for this? Not on any BT Sports channels, are they on TV at all?
