UFC FIGHT NIGHT POIRIER V PETTIS

mailburner

It'll be hard to top last weeks card but this card looks like it has war written all over it.
The main event for me is the hardest one to call in a long time, pettis back to his proper weight class and poirier did imo look pretty good v alvarez ....coin toss, maybe poirier for me but if pettis take the fight to poirier you would think he'd have an advantage.

brown sanchez should be a good fight, you'd imagine matt should have the edge if he fights a smart fight.
I don't want to see marquardt fight anyone, wish he'd just retire and speaking of lads who should retire...arlovski, think he might be taking a nap in this one.

lauzon guida...90 fights between them says it all here, another coin toss, only 33 and 35 so they'll probably be around for a few more years yet.

Dodson moraes should be pretty lively, northcutt now trains with tam so expect to see huge improvement there :P and lastly I think angela hills beats the snot out of nunes girlfriend.

watch later when langered or watch tomorrow morning the only dilemma :P

D.Q

Rugby - football - ??? - UFC

Gonna be a long day.

I see Matt Brown is now having second thoughts about retiring, I like Matt a lot but I hope for his own sake he does retire. This is as close to a hometown fight as he'll ever get so I hope he gets the win and leaves it at that

Not sure if I want to stay up until 6am for thsi one, I might just watch it tomorrow

Some absolutely cracking fights on this one. Should be a great card top to bottom.

I said it in the gambling thread but I believe Poirier is a top 5 lightweight. He was robbed in the Alvarez fight imo. I expect him to dominate Pettis tonight.

Fairly gas to see Lauzon vs Guida, it's like a scrap youd have expected to see at UFC 85!

EagererBeaver

The thought of Brown-Sanchez is terrifying. Combined levels of brain damage absolutely off the charts.

What time is first fight?

kwestfan08

Thought Fortuna won that fight myself.

People think Super Sage wins tonight?

I'm really interested to see what his time at TAM away from his control freak father has done for his development.

I had Strickland slightly shading that

ricero

Fantastic womens scrap

Sage is looking good

dulux99

Great to see Faber in Sage's corner. Faber is such a great ambassador for the sport, he has loads of business opportunities outside of MMA but you can just tell he loves the fight game more than anything.

I said the same, but hooked as usual!

The White Feather

Ivan Drago's son is doing well so far :pac:

ricero

Impressive by sage. A much more mature and calmer performance

Think he uses range well but he has no head movement. Trimming the fat on his kicks has worked well, those side kicks kept your man guessing all night. Focusing on effective technique rather than flashyness

dulux99

Really looking forward to Moraes vs Dodson. I can't stand Dodson, he's an annoying little bollix but I think he'll have too much for Moraes

actually really liking felder in commentary fighters perspective and not as crap as dc

lol, bizarre scoring

The White Feather

Fairly dull so far. Hopefully things get better

Deadst4r

ive got lauzon and guida.
I don't think there is too much between diego and matt as the odds suggest, diego is a grinder.
Not sure if lauzon can beat guida as he is also a grinder but I'm hoping he pulls a nice submission.

The White Feather

Now that fight woke me up again! Great finish!!

Lauzon always been one of my favourites.

Hate to see him lose like that.

One the funniest mma related videos ive ever seen pmsl

Jamiekelly

What a knockout!!!!
Unbelievable control not to throw the hammerfist. Pulled out of it literally at the last microsecond, fair play.

Deadst4r

Wow. Great end to that round. Thank God as it was terrible overall.

Utopia Parkway

Arlovski seems to be fighting a man wearing a big nappy.

Jamiekelly

Was about to say the same thing. Albini looks like an unlockable joke character in a UFC game rather than an actual athlete.

ASOT

Some combos from arvloski

kwestfan08

A win for Arlovski but a loss for Arlovskis' brain because he'll probably fight again against better competition than Albini.

ASOT

Very nice finish from brown, Sanchez chin is gone he should retire.

Who do people fancy in the main event? I see it ending in a KO but not sure for who

ASOT

Nevermind it wasnt in the chin, looked like the back of the head.

It depends what pettis shows up, hes been so lacklusture that its possible.

Jamiekelly

Sanchez should retire, he had an amazing run. No need to risk his health any further. I think Poirer has the edge so I think it'll be a 2nd round KO. Can't see it going to decision.
