    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,245 ✭✭✭Esse85


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭sojustrutz

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

    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..

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,532 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    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.

    First fight just about to start on Fightpass btw, starting a bit earlier than billed.

    The fight pass fights are class, whole card is actually really good for a change.

    Muscle does not weigh more than fat.
    A lb of muscle weighs the same as a lb of fat..


    Anyway, war Gus.

    Uriah Hall in the next for me at evens, it's usually a big step up to the UFC for newcomers. Hall has fought[and recently usually lost] the best, evens is a great price.

    Sorry Denser takes up less mass, meaning you will be bigger or smaller whatever your body is.

    There are some great prospects coming through from the Tuesday Night contender series which this guy is coming from.

    I think it is too but I couldnt pull the trigger myself


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 226 ✭✭PLOPS


    Hope Gus does it, but Jones is a nightmare. Cyborg just too big and strong, thanks to her steroid abuse and all the gains she made prior to the UFC. She looks like a bloke due to the steroids. Also....

    Joe Rogan throws around the "greatest of all time" waaay too much. According to him Jones, Cormier, GSP, Silva, Mighty Mouse, and Holloway are all GOATS. Have to say though, his backing of Jones is sickening. Cocaine mixed with steroids or a pinch of Steroids in a swimming pool. Wish he'd just come clean.

    Freak punch from Hall, against the run of the fight. He really is an oddity.

    I hope Wood can get this done. He was an excellent fighter on the local/European scene. Really love to see another European get a good run the the UFC.
