    I see what you mean, people tend to see him as a príck and mention his looks and money a lot which just sounds like sour grapes to me.

    I like him personally, I think he's just super confident and people don't like it and try make it out that he's just a cocky pretty boy.

    Yeah and hes a complete fighter in all aspects striking and grappling he literally has one loss and thats to trt vitor I rate him in top p4p on the planet,

    He doesnt brag and talk crap a quarter of what McGregor does and hes loved for it too which is funny considering he backs it up every time.

    Loving this card, really looking forward to seeing Holloway and Porier in their respective fights and the two main event fights expect some fun in both of them. Bruce Lee Roy should get Reebok to make a yellow kit for him.

    Gonna have to watch the fight pass ones too with Tim Breese fighting, he looks quality.

    Bobby Green can take a shot and talks mad **** even if hes losing Poirier is the strongest mentally that could turn into a cracking war,

    Holloway will put a seminar on against Lamas.

    I agree! After watching him man handle Machida I knew he was something special and believe he'll be a dominant champ for a long time.

    Yeah exactly I'm not sure why he gets so much flack tbh, he's not half as outrageous with his "trash talking" as most others.

    If Max wins easy he will be shouting for McGregor for sure to vacate or defend. Lamas might surprise but yeah gonna be tough ask. I'd imagine they will cancel each other out in wrestling and it will stay on feet quite a bit.

    Sorry, to explain, and your follow up above clarifies. You meant they're insecure if they base antipathy on his looks, money, etc??

    I get you. I don't particulary agree but I think those are stupid reasons not to rate em. anyway check my post on this, I have em to win so am not included in implied sex appeal mob :D

    If fighter bashing wasn't against the charter, i'd say a few things about Bobby Green! For anyone who heard him on The MMA Hour about a year ago when he was on with all his knucklehead friends, you'll know what i'm talking about.

    I like Poirier. Hope Poirier gives him a hiding!

    Yeah hes seems a bit odd hadnt an easy life but its no excuse,remember him claiming cowboy was a racist would like to see that fight tbh,


    Yeah met Poirier a few mins after he found out that Duffy fight was off and he was a gentleman very pissed off no doubt and still had the decency to have a chat and sign a poster for me him and mike brown 2 of the nicest you could meet hope he gets the win.

    Such a great card, can't wait for this one. Will be beaming if there are 2 new champs after it.

    Def hope Rockhold and Cruz win, cant stand Faber, never understand the love himself and Cowboy get.

    Wouldn't be disappointed if Bisping won but Luke is a beast, easily one of the best fighters in the UFC.

    Faber has always come across as a really cool guy. Some people look at him and think he's a "bro" but even from the Ultimate Fighter season with McGregor, you could see they got on pretty well.

    Cowboy though, ya he doesn't come across too well.

    I might be the only one that likes reocholds confidence and trash talk. I like the im going to beat you into the ground attitude. especially when its backed up time and time again. i liken to him to a more subtle mcgregor.


    Also fabers the ultimate anomaly, a hippy that loves to fight.

    The press conference was a bit of craic, Bisping was as annoying as always. Rockhold struggled with the banter and so did Faber.


    With the exceptions of Sonnen and Cruz I don't think the Americans can trash talk at all, especially when up against the likes of Bisping or McGregor.

    Different culture I suppose, Bisping and Mcgregor grew up in cultures that rip the piss out of each other constantly so the banter comes natural ha
    Add your reply here. Chael Sonnen was really good trash talker.

    I presume the weigh in is around 11? I miss Paullys thread

    The fact that they weighed in earlier takes away from the drama a bit. A good move though. Much better for the fighters I'd imagine.

    Yeah i wanted to bet on Strickland here in this one,thought Breese the monster that he is at this weight,was slightly exposed last time out even though he got the win,but the early weigh ins can only have helped his cause.

    Breese has the coveted amateur boxing backround the way he took that dude in brazil apart then Pendred was sick,got out grappled last time in London but was under pressure loads of hype there was,expect a clinic tomorrow.

    You could tell Rockhold had that little sound-byte well rehearsed before he came out.

    Looking forward to watching Poirier again too, he's looked brilliant since returning to lightweight

    I think the extra time time with the early weigh ins can only have benefited him and as good as he looked against Pendred,he looked terrible albeit getting the win last time out and had it been a 5 rounder it might have ended badly for him.

    I don't think he ever becomes a top contenter and it wouldn't be a shocker to see him lose tomorrow night,if he doesn't get his opponent out of there early his odds of winning are always dwindling.

    Rockhold is an alpha male living the dream the people that hate him have insecurities


    WAR ROCKHOLD

    I think it's his cardboard personality people don't like and his awkwardness in front of the camera.

    Great fighter though.
