He is old. Never remember him using his BJJ that much in any of his fights. Been a long time but didn't gsp totally dominate him, don't remember anything bj did BJJ wise.

People forget. Also remember the mcnugglites don't know what a BJ Penn or jiujitsu is.

Wonder what answer you'd get by posting that in the mcg thread?

Bj used to be good the same way Chuck used to be good
Father time has caught up with him

That'll be my bet tonight so. I just have zero faith in Hall's striking and don't think he can sub BJ.

BJ is 40 and gets tired insanely quickly these days. Hall should weather the "storm" and dominate him really. Hate saying that but it's the truth. I hope I'm wrong.

I really liked Hall in TUF, happy he won it (against the goat may I add) but his UFC career has been shyte. Not sure if he's not pushed on fighting or if UFC wouldn't book him in order to punish his style. BJ could overwhelm him early but I think he's gonna be in trouble if it goes to the ground, Ryan is just a slippery basterd.

I'm hoping BJ gets the win and finally sets off into the sunset.

Will be standard Hall, Pull guard and look for heel hook from strikes. BJs Jitz ain’t up to that level at his age, Naturally age affects you.

If BJ gets the win then I reckon that's the last thing he'll want to do! The man should be saved from himself. He hasn't won a fight since 2010. It's insane.

Career has been ****? He has had only one fight in the ufc proper. Maybe that's what you meant. He has said before he isn't bothered about fighting much, think he has other things to do.

Looks like a great card however away in laws house so won't get to see it.

Small acca on Gus, Nunes and Ilir

Paully D · 29-12-2018 8:54pm

This time last year I’d have been excited all week about this and nothing would have stopped me from staying up for it.

Sad to say that my interest has wained so much as a result of the UFC’s antics that I’ll probably just look up the results in the morning, give it two seconds thought and get on with my day.

I'm in work tomorrow and Italy are an hour ahead so the main event probably won't be in until about 6.30/7.00 for me. Half tempted to sleep soon and wake up for the main card

dulux99 · 29-12-2018 11:03pm

Can't believe you'd objectify Nunes and Cyborg like that. I'm telling the mods.

Esse85 · 29-12-2018 11:16pm

Jon Jones is a disgusting individual and I hope he gets absolutely mauled tonight.

sojustrutz · 29-12-2018 11:35pm

First fight not on until 1am on bt is that right ?

Fight pass prelims start at 11.30, they're only on fight pass though.

SlowBlowin · 29-12-2018 11:41pm

Gus sub

OK I have to bet on Gus, I thought he won the first one and I think he looked the better of the two throughout the conference and weigh in.

Soooo the most likley outcome is Jones by a head kick in the first.

SB

PS Also going for Nunes..

It was meant to be in a different thread mate

Alf Veedersane · 29-12-2018 11:53pm

I really hope Gus does him.

But watched the first fight again today and had it a draw and the rounds Jones won, I thought he won more clearly.

So part of me thinks that IF Jones had been fluting about before the last fight, then this is a different ball game.

Can't really see Cyborg losing. Nunes came in slightly heavier and I wonder if that might have a negative impact.

But I'm not a seasoned follower of MMA so take that with a pinch of salt.

Amanda has had to come up from 135, granted she has fought at this weight the step up will be done with muscle mass- muscle weighs heavier then fat. I am on Gus,Chad and Amanda treble its a big luck one but I’m hoping it comes cause I hate Jones.

I honestly think Cyborg is a horrible style matchip for Nunes, she's going to start fast and get contered and finished imo.

Really looking forward to seeing how Wood gets on, seems like a good lad and never gives up.

Hopefully bj retires after this one, it's painful seeing him decline and ruin his legacy so much.

I really wanted to bet on gus too and will be rooting for him but I don't know if he can do it. As much as I dislike Jones I think he's going to go in and there do the business.

Sometimes the extra weight isn't beneficial, that's all I'm wondering. Great fight though.

Great card.

EagererBeaver · 30-12-2018 12:12am

Obviously Nunes is coming up in weight but did anyone else think she was looking a bit soft, especially around the middle?

All relatively speaking of course because she's obviously an elite, world class athlete but I thought she was borderline pudgy looking. Not Big Country or Hunt or Bam Bam Tuivasa territory but definitely a hint of it in my eye.

Not beneficial but needed, she needed to come up in weight. I’d rather be coming up then cutting.

That's pretty much what made me question if it would help or hinder her.
