    Been looking forward to this card so much, Great main event and not seen a whole card stacked like this one for a long time, if i was paying for PPV would have no hesitation in forking out the guts of 70quid for it

    Not sure if you're joking or not. I think it's a shocking card except for the main event

    I'm usually pretty high on Holloway (Cub and Pettis fights anyway) but Aldo will be too much him, too quick and a better striker to my eyes.

    The only way I'll be watching this PPV is if my friend's want to split it, not worth the $60.

    Max a huge price

    Holloway to win by cardio.

    If Chad Mendes (roided but still) could light Aldo up I think Holloway will give him fits.

    Official weigh-ins here



    Thought Max looked horrific in his face. Very gaunt with shrunken jaws like McGregor has trying to make 145, and also very dark circles around his eyes.

    Also as per the comments that absolute tool asking "what was the weight?" a few seconds after yer man shouts it out is annoying.

    I would love if Max won and Frankie got the first shot and he won it off him. This should be a cracking fight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭Gamb!t


    Aldo to get the decision.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Hope max does him but aldo was so slick in his last fight and think he will get a decision win

    If it was 2009 Belfort vs Marquardt would be interesting in 2017 it's kinda sad. Gadhela vs Kowalkiewicz could be go either way from real good to a snoozer.

    Anyone know why Vitor has a german shepard going round with him 24/7? says its for his fear of flying but im not buying it.

    It's for his protection. See, nowadays vitor is a shjte fighter and can't protect himself

    Max is too slow and sloppy to beat Aldo, which is a pity as I feel the division could do with a new champion.

    Best we can hope for is Aldo to win big and float the idea of moving to 155 to chase a rematch with Conor. Doubt he would do it though.

    Aldo already said he'd fight at 155 with McGregor, didn't he? After Holloway?

    If Holloway wins ( I think he will) and maybe beats Frankie in a defense, he could entice Conor back to 145.

    I really want to see Conor v Max again, both have evolved so much since the other fight. Max comes to fight and can take a shot, doesn't talk ****e, doesn't complain, pure truth. Probably my favourite fighter.

    McGregor wont be fighting at 145 again if Max or Aldo ever want to fight him again they'll have to move up to 155

    You seem so certain. I know it probably won't ever happen but I live in hope. He may want to cement his place as FW king. Max will have genuinley cleaned out the division and be on a 12 fight win streak if it was to happen.

    If Holloway beats Aldo his 11 win streak in the UFC will be one of the best ever hes absolutely murdered people for years since McGregor beat him, hes the only man to stop Pettis, hope we get a war for 5 rds and Max win.

    I can't see it going any other way than a five round war. Haven't checked the price yet but I will be putting a large bet on it.

    for me this is just about the hardest main event to call in a very long time

    Love how committed BT are to MMA, 9 hours straight of different shows on tonight.

    It's either doing good figures for them or more likley, they have F**kall else to air.
