Silva just got released, it'd be nice if he retired now but you'd imagine he will go to one or something.

Fromvert · 19-11-2020 11:45pm

I'm having Jones over Stipe everyday. I think come fight night he'll look like the bigger man. He'll keep Stipe out of range with his reach advantage (both arms and legs). I think he can do that for five rounds along with working Stipe over in the clinch. I'd prefer see Jones take him down as I think he'll have the bigger advantage if he puts Stipe on his back. Age waits for no man and Stipe is getting up there.

chopperbyrne · 19-11-2020 11:48pm

I'll be checking for bookies that are taking odds on Jones failing a drug test after the fight.

eagle eye · 19-11-2020 11:48pm

I'm finding it very hard to gauge. Stipe is one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC.
Jones is probably the smartest fighter in the UFC.

The only risk with that bet is that he could fail the drugs test before the fight.

Gamb!t · 20-11-2020 2:16pm

Im sure Stipe will get a few oblique kicks and eye pokes from Jones.

Tony v Oliveira booked for 256.

Bit of a step down in terms of rank for Tony but should be a great fight all the same. Bet the house on Tony

Wouldn't agree myself, Oliveira is 7 fight win streak all by finish. Beat Kevin Lee last time out with a nice sub.

I'll see what the prices are but I'll probably take a punt on him, after the beating Tony took off Gaethje I'd be worried about where he is at. Perfect fight for him if he wants to get back into title contention but.

Homelander · 21-11-2020 3:32pm

Yeah I don't think that's a step down for Tony at all. Olivera is rock solid and has looked phenomenal the last straight run.

derfderf · 22-11-2020 1:37am

There's not much else there for Tony. Conor and Poirier already booked, Gaethje already beat him.
Oliviera would be the next nest thing. Or Dan Hooker, but he lost to Poirier last time out.

It’s a move from fighting #1-2 to #6.
Technically step down, but a completely normal one after a loss.

US2 · 22-11-2020 6:24am

Everything points to Gathje v Chandler now I suppose? Chandler will probably beat Gathje, I'd have preferred him to fight Tony!

Dean barry has somehow swindled himself into the ufc

Good stand up striker, needs serious work in his takedown defence and ground game. I'd like to see him get a good match up for his first fight.

Delighted to have another irishman in the UFC and he genuinely comes across as a really nice lad.

He was heavily involved in GSP's camp for the Bisping fight. He spent a good long while over there training before coming back to Ireland. Speaks somewhat of his credentials as a striker.

At least he is testing himself at the highest level unlike them SBG lads who live in their own bubble fighting cans.

If he ain't matched against strikers he will be in an awful bad place I reckon.

Anyone ever seen or heard of Ryan "Chaos" Curtis? Seems to work as a barber but going by his social media feed you'd think he was the man McGregor wished he could be.

I believe he has turned down a contract with Bellator last year (when Bellator were signing up all the Irish lads) because he only wants to go to the UFC.

How he thinks the UFC are going to come looking for him when he has 7 fights in 5 years since his debut, and 3 fights in the last 3 years and is 1-2 in those.

At the very least he should be chasing after fights in Cage Warriors.

Wow. That's delusional if I ever heard it. Going by his posts I'm not surprised though. In his own mind the lad is making 7 figures and has a global following... he should have grabbed the opportunity with both hands and made a few quid.

Alf Veedersane · 27-11-2020 1:47pm

If he couldn't name the UFC flyweights it's because he's a thick.

DJ was a few months into his ONE contract at that stage and he couldn't name even Cejudo.

Gimp.

The McGregor era has ruined the lot of the them. The only one making any money is Gallagher.

Dylan Tuke summed it well on a recent podcast - they all to be posting future world champ this and that while the reality is they are not even the best on the mat that day.

Was Dylan not self-promoting in a similar fashion not too long ago?
Maybe If he’s changed his perspective from the outside one he changed location.

Turned it off before that part. I was basing it on the fight and the "knockdown". Photo absolutely confirms it.

Ah FFS! Khamzat has Covid according to this site. I hope he can recover in time or maybe they move his fight to a week or 2 later? Didn't they move Hollands fight who had it?

This is from a Swedish site so I am guessing it is true.
