    Are you mad he spent his whole time as champion running from him, he would t have his last fight against him.

    Bisping is a gangster he'd fight romero tomorrow probably given the chance, he played the right game as champ got a GSP fight cant knock it.

    Anyone fancy Bisping here to beat Gastelum? Bisping is the underdog, which surprised me. He has big height and weight advantage on Gastelum.

    Wouldn't surprise me either way. Bisping is bigger and is tough but gets dropped all the time and, well, three weeks is only three weeks. Gastelum has the power to put big middleweights on their arse as he showed against Weidman. Didn't see weigh ins - what kind of belly is Gastelum carrying into this one? Bisping's cardio could see him home.

    Yeah I think bisping by decision at 11/2 is very good value. I didn't see the weigh ins either.... I'll go on youtube in a few mins and see what they looked like.

    Bisping is one my fav fighters but I just think Gastelum can get the better of him everywhere here and he's going to be able to keep going with Bisping all night so he's unlikely to wear him out. I think it'll be an early finish unfortunately!

    lads.

    Can i sign up for the 7 day free trial of fightpass, buy ufc 218 and the cancel next week. I'll be over in the states this weekend and would like to be able to watch the event. I'm probably not going to go to a bar for it to be honest.

    You can cancel it whenever you like, you can also just buy the PPV online I think https://www.ufc.tv/

    I'm not sure but in the States is it just the fight pass prelims you get on Fight pass and then the rest are on FS1? Get the free trial surely but there may only be four fights on it before you need to find a tv with fox sports.

    What do ye think will happen at 145 if Aldo wins? They'll hardly give Edgar another shot? The winner of Swanson v Ortega or a rubber match with Holloway?

    Same with Overeem, does he get a rematch with Miocic if he wins? He'll be on a good streak (Hunt, Werdum Ngannou) but it feels very recent Miocic finishing him. I'd take it for granted Ngannou gets it if he wins.

    If Gaetjhe finishes Alvarez he'd have a good claim to a title shot but it'll be in a queue behind Ferguson and the winner of Khabib v Barboza. Given the situation, the winner of this will probably have to fight Poirier either way.

    Pettis v Cejudo is as good as a title eliminator too, DJ has apparently said he wants another 125 defense before fighting Dillashaw.

    Great card, should be some fantastic fights, hope jimmi can get his picks right and regain top spot in the Pickem league worldwide!

    As a massive massive aldo fan i dont want to see him win the belt back it's max's time...the division would do well with a young active champ.

    Nope. Sure they were trying to get Tony to take a Khabib fight last week.

    anyway tony hasnt defended in 8 weeks...inactive champ...time to strip him and make this one for the belt.

    I was talking about the match up itself.
    Whether it's 3rd or 4th fight on the main card makes little difference overall.

    I'll be backing the unders 1.5 rds here.

    Yes...but my post clearly said "announced as co-main" my point was its co-main as in there is no second title fight.


    ****ing hell this place is hard work at times.
