im more excited about the non title fights.

anyone think cowboy can beat ferguson?

I think cowboy will rock ferguson at some stage and I'm glad its a three rounder for his sake.
I think he'll have one chance to get ferguson outa there like pettis had....ferguson recovers its probably game over.
Three rounds of mayhem should it last that long imo.

If ferguson goes after cowboy from the start like masvidal did then it might not end well for cowboy but unlike masvidal who has a granite chin, ferguson has been rocked a few times.

what a cracker of a main card, didn't even realise yan v rivera was on it

can't see past Moraes myself, stacked division but I think moraes is the best out there right now with Yan close behind and I would be very surprised if henry can deal with his power and his overall game is top notch anyway.

I believe he's gonna blow everyone away with this performance.

Shevchenko will have eye looking like something from the end of rocky after a couple of rounds, piss poor division when eye gets a shot after 3 wins where two were split wins against fighters who probably aren't top class.
Shev probably the second best fighter in the ufc and it'll probably show here in a bit way.


I like karolina but I think she's there for the taking, very poor performance and waterson last time out, hasn't looked the same fighter lately similiar to Gadelha.

Lamas Kattar will imo be swinging for the fences at some stage, expecting a battle of the chins.

Yan has looked incredible lately, fancy him to beat rivera and will be fighting the champ Moraes for his belt at the end of the year

Tatiana suarez is probably one fight away from a shot also and she should beat ansaroff

bam bam was going great against jds last time out, he'll learn form that but ivanov is a very hard man to put away.


I hope the other yan beats angela hill also and will be shouting for joanne calderwood even though I think she might come out second best.

sterling munhoz....not a clue

Im in NYC for this and wondering has anyone got recommendations for particular bars to watch it in? (good atmosphere and beer being a perk). I see that there is a bunch of them showing it.

Playwright on 35th is a good spot for the fights. Watched Jones v DC 2 there and the place was hopping

Created new thread as the poll was messed up on the other one created.

Can't wait for this card, bolded my picks above. Really good card on paper top to bottom imo.

Genuinely excited for this card tonight. First time in a while I have felt that.

30-27?? WTF??

Wow. Incredible last minute in that fight.

Tough fight, think.it could go.the distance.

Ferguson by KO TKO

I agree, might be over very quickly. Obviously Cowboy has power at lightweight but the only chance he has here imo is any chance Tony gives him.

Marlon to win is my guess.

Marlon is a class act, can end it standing up or on the ground. I've never really been amazed by Cejudo, looks ordinary enough but he keeps on winning and beating Demetrius Johnson forced me to respect him. This one could be over very quickly if Cejudo decides to go for it early because I think Moraes will take him out. If Cejudo can get through the first two rounds then the tables turn a bit because the only question over Moraes is stamina. We know Cejudo can go all the way at a very good level.
I'll pick Moraes for the early ko.

Katar has some pair of hands on him. Love that short fake jab to set it up.

Grasso is so much faster here, looks a clear level above Karolina, who hasn’t looked the same fighter since Andrade knocked her out.

KK needs a knockout here somehow.

Thats a 3 fight losing streak now for Karolina, and she has lost 5 of her last 7. She needs a win in her next fight or she could be staring into the abyss.

Another legendary walkout from Tuivasa.

I think TT could easily have lost this...

How did two judges call 30-27 in the last fight. I've no complaint with the result but Tuivasa won the second round clearly.

Agreed.
