UFC 212 Holloway v Aldo Sat 3rd June

tinpib

First fight just getting under way. Looks like it's been fought behind closed doors.

Brussels Sprout

the fans that are there are noisy enough. Bruce Buffer got a great cheer!

tinpib

Have to give that to Figuererao, though he ate a few elbows at the end.

tinpib

Beltran needs to get an Ultimate Warrior like second wind to win this one.

edit: Balls, ref stopped it during the break between rounds.

tinpib

That was funny there, Wallhead the very opposite of Floyd Mayweather. Instead slipping every shot of a combination beautifully he seemed to move his head body directly into the path of each one. Every one was a direct hit.

The White Feather

Wallhead is very tough. Got to respect the way he is keeping going and still in it.

He needs to get that head of his off the centre line though

Woops he just got knocked down and subbed as I write this! :pac:

tinpib

Wallhead was gutsy but outclassed there. Took a lot of hits.

The White Feather

I think that Holm v Correia fight is a fight to try to get Holly back on track by the UFC. Cannot see Bethe beating Holly. I expect Holly to win impressively

The White Feather

Pereira looks like a boxer. She keeps wining the stand up exchanges.

Weird that Moyle isn't trying to take her down

tinpib

Only half watched that but think Perreira has it.

tinpib

Wonder if it's Vitor's plan to retire after tonight?

tinpib

Holy crap. Fair play to him.

The White Feather

Can we claim Brian Kelleher as Irish?!!

That was a very impressive win!

The White Feather

Another great finish. Some great endings so far tonight!

ya, Jaysus the ref certainly gave Johnny plenty of opportunity to fight back anyway. Took a rake of shots to the head there.

Kirby

Mario making sure that Eduardo took 12 more shots than was necessary. Some things never change. :P

The White Feather

Is there ever going to be a Brazilian fighter who is not a BJJ champ and doesn't believe in it at all?

Naturally I assume they are all BJJ black belts in the UFC!

tinpib

Like two copulating dogs stuck together here.

Needs a bucket of water from the ref!

tinpib

Really enjoying this card so far. Some nice mix of styles, plenty of finishes.

The White Feather

So.....Aldo v Max?

Who you going for?

I am hoping Max wins but I think Aldo will win

tinpib

I'm on Max, was going to back Max on points but would be greedy, could be wrong.

Marlon Moraes is hugely overhyped and weirdly priced betting wise, can't believe Assuncao.

He might prove me wrong but he's beaten a bunch of cans in WSOF and Assuncao is a proven UFC caliber fighter.

I expect Assuncao to win easily.

No price for the fight on PP about an hour or two ago. Probably human error.

Thats a vote against Bald people. You are Baldist! :pac:

tinpib

Another entertaining fight. Have Assuncao ahead.

Kirby

That was a very even round. Any notions that this was going to be a whitewash is truly put to bed now.

The White Feather

19-19? very close

Kirby

This is the closest fight I've seen in ages. This is the sort of fight that should end in a draw.

I had Assuncao 29-28 but could go either way. He landed the heavier shots.
