    What a card. There prelims would make a savage fight night card on their own


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,076 ✭✭✭Wayne Jarvis


    I'm going with Masvidal in the main event, he is very good at hitting people while stepping back and Nate only goes forward and I think Jorge has the cardio to keep up with Nate. It will hopefully be a slobberknocker!
    Darren Till has been saying that Kelvin won't land a glove on him and Kelvin has been saying that he will win by first round KO so hopefully they just go for it from the start. I'm picking Kelvin by KO/TKO. I'm hoping Luque can force Thompson to stop with the point fighting as he is a very aggressive fighter but he does leave himself open to be hit a lot so could get finished.

    Masvidal on the cards,
    Gastelum by TKO
    Thompson on the card (maybe tko )
    Lewis by KO
    Gillespie on the cards ,

    Think masvidal by decision and Gastelum by ko.

    Excited to see Johnny walker again and think this could be Gregor Gillepsie breakout night. Also hopefully we see the wonderboy of old. He has been far too hesitant in his fighting style the past few years.

    Great card.

    Gregor on paper is the best American wrestle in the whole division ,

    If can get himself on a run of big wins he could be the biggest treat to Khabib ,

    Only problem is Khabib could be gone by the time he gets the No1 contender spot

    Legit excited for 8/12 fights on the card - the other 4 being the 2 HW bouts, the women's fight and the opener (which might even be a potential banger as well but I don't really know either fighter).

    Two journeymen with over 30 losses between them fighting for a made up belt being presented to them by a WWE wrestler, some laugh! Great card though.

    Two dudes who did their own matchmaking, who are fan favourites, and figure it'll make a good fight.
    Nate joking about being the baddest mother****er in the game, and then the UFC going overboard and having a belt made for it.

    No harm in it.

    Agree, but the fight itself should be great though

    Till and Gastellum looks to be in jeopardy, seems Till is having issues with his visa

    How do you figure that? Their combined win/loss are 54-24. Masvidal's fought a lot, his record is 34-13 which is perfectly decent. Diaz is 20-11 but most of his fights have been in the UFC against decent opposition so he's better than the record suggests.

    I don't get why some people seem overly eager to discredit both like they're bums or bad fighters, they're absolutely not.

    My maths are bad sorry. Hey I love both fighters and this fight, who doesn't ? I just think it's funny for a professional sport. To ad to the circus one of the fighters popped and was cleared within hours. 😄

    I think Till is too gung-ho for his own good. In a way it's commendable, but I don't think anyone would have begrudged him a lower ranked opponent at '85.

    High stakes roll - getting ko'd successively in quick succession (not to mention the strikes he ate from Woodley while downed) could be career altering at this level. They seem to spar hard at that gym too...

    I think Masvidal gets it done in the main. I think he gets the KO and is on the way to mainstream superstardom.

    Sunday 03 Nov

    Nate Diaz fight is expected to take place around 12am ET local time, viewers having to wait until ~ 4am GMT on Sunday, viewers can watch Diaz vs Masvidal fight and the main card on BT Sport 1 HD.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,235 ✭✭✭Esse85


    Sensational fight card.

    I worry for Till with the late arrival, can't be good.

    Kelvin will be better off taking this to the ground to get the win, given the size of Till, I don't think he should stand and trade punches with Till.

    I think Masvidal will beat Nate and the show will go on, could be an absolute classic considering both their styles.

    I'm interested to see how Johnny Walker gets on too, it's gonna be a long night but one I'm really looking forward to.

    Who cares about losses? Did Anderson Silva have losses? Fedor? Liddell? Couture? Hughes? GSP? Of course. Even Jon Jones technically has a loss.

    The "no-losses" brigade hang out in Floyd Mayweather's Instagram comments. Not here.

    Just to expand on this point. All of the Numbered Cards are pay Per View in the USA.

    In Britain & Ireland this card is not a Pay per View if you have a subscription to BT Sports.

    That Gastelum weigh in. Hahahaha

    Can't believe you're comparing masvidal to those goats 😂


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    How can masvidal win this for anyone picking him? Don't think he can knock Nate out, don't think he will submit him, he'll hardly out cardio him. Hard to see how Nate wins either to be honest, a proper 50/50 fight.

    Hoping Till KOs Kevin but I think he'll be took down an pummeled.

    Split decision all over it for me.
