War Colby !

I'd love to see Usman choke the gimmick outta Colby.

shanec1928 · 12-12-2019 7:46am

A main event where you want two losers.

fitzparker · 12-12-2019 9:20am

17/1 for the 3 titles to change hands....

As much as id love Colby to be schooled I think he will win. the other 2 should be dead on to keep their belts, but will put money on the above for interest.

Fair play to Faber for taking this fight but he's in for a bad, bad beating on Saturday I reckon.

Aldo v Moraes is an interesting one, Moraes is a bottler and if Aldo turns up the heat on him he could wilt. Massive asterisk being the weight of course.

ricero · 12-12-2019 4:56pm

Listening to some of the Interviews Colby has done this week where he has toned down the gimmick and he seems like a very intelligent and likeable fella.

Can't warm to Usman at all. Should be a cracking fight.

Jesus Aldo looks horrific at the mo, seen an interview Ariel popped up.

Colby has grown on me a bit

Looked terrible at the face off.

This is some card so the fights will probably be boring as hell :pac:

Colby's shtick is tiresome but he is a great fighter. And if we see the same Usman that we saw against Woodley then it should be a great fight. I've a bad feeling there's going to be some people popping for PEDs in that division though. The cardio levels are off the scales.

Can't see Nunes being beaten. Probably thought the same about Rousey back in the day though. No idea about Holloway-Volkanovski. I'd lean towards Holloway, but mainly cause he's the incumbent.

xtal191 · 13-12-2019 6:37pm

Aldo makes weight, reminds me of Conor at 145

JacksonHeightsOwn · 14-12-2019 11:07am

Am I alone in thinking de Randomie will spark Nunes cold?

I wonder what odds I'd get for that?

dashoonage · 14-12-2019 10:12pm

I believe Nunes will spark De Randamie out. GOAT female fighter.

ForeverYoung90 · 14-12-2019 10:58pm

My picks for Title fights are;
Nunes by KO
Holloway by Dec.
Covington by Dec.

Mehaffey1 · 15-12-2019 12:32am

Damn that's one way to start your UFC career with a bang, scary power from Soriano.

mailburner · 15-12-2019 1:48am

Hooper has a big future, props to teymur for not tapping there.. amazing toughness

BobCobb · 15-12-2019 2:11am

I was a little worried for Hooper there, he's so light it looks like he could get knocked out easily, and when Teymur lifted him up in a guillotine hold it looked pretty dangerous but he seems to be tough. Crazy height difference, like DC said, when he was on Teymur's back it looked almost impossible to shrug him off.

darced · 15-12-2019 2:15am

White belt level triangle from Saunders there.

Mehaffey1 · 15-12-2019 2:24am

Who in the world agrees to fight Matt Brown seriously!

ERG89 · 15-12-2019 3:03am

How long is Ilir Latifi a Heavyweight?
He's a big 205 but it looks like a handy fight for Derrick Lewis who admittedly would need to walk on water to ever get a title shot again.

finglashoop · 15-12-2019 3:16am

Jesus what a ko

Jamiekelly · 15-12-2019 3:18am

One of the best hooks I've ever seen in womens MMA.

eagle eye · 15-12-2019 3:19am

Where did it come from, she's never shown anything like that in her time in the UFC.

derfderf · 15-12-2019 3:20am

Feck. I had Viera & nunes to win, and Aldo by ko/tko. Fell at the first. Every time I've watched her before she's smashed her opponent.
I got greedy. Great odds on Aldo, but i wanted more.
Great fights so far.

ERG89 · 15-12-2019 4:31am

Yan (predictably) battering Faber.
Doctor stoppage looked a certainty there but no....
3rd round ko via headkick. Can't believe the guys on commentary tried to say Urijah stunned him in round 2. He was so much faster & hits harder than Faber.

eagle eye · 15-12-2019 4:53am

He was faster and hits harder but it did look like he felt that punch in the second round.
Kudos to Faber stepping in the ring with a tough nut like that at 40 years of age.

Yeah I have to agree. I thought that punch stunned him momentarily. He almost froze after he got hit with it. But that was all Faber had for him.

US2 · 15-12-2019 5:06am

Good even fight this commentary wont shut up about aldo tho?
