    I dislike his constant attitude, even outside of selling fights he's a plonker. Talented guy just hope he gets beaten 100% of the time.


    That's the whole point of his shtick. Pay to see him lose. The longer he keeps winning and getting under peoples skin, the more invested people are in seeing him lose. Straight out of WWE. Or straight from Chael and Connor, who learnt if from WWE. It's pretty ingenious

    His time is surely coming he is a talent but also very very sloppy at times

    Nothing like Chael (or Conor). Both of them had some charisma. He's just a fúcktard who is embarrassingly slow-witted for someone trying to play the role he is.

    What is everyone's predictions for:

    JONES - SMITH
    WOODLEY- USMAN
    ASKREN - LAWLER
    CODY- MUNHOZ

    I am seeing Jones by KO/TKO
    Woodley by KO
    Askren decision
    Munhoz by decision

    I get this argument as it's been made dozens of times before.

    Only issue is while people would have paid to see Chael lose or Connor lose, I don't think people care enough about Colby to go beyond just checking the results the following day to see if he lost.

    I think his shtick is weak and not very well executed. Would I pay to see him lose? Nope. I don't really care.

    A lot of Brazilians would though :pac:
    I'm not into that kind of crap either by the way. I tend to just watch the fights. I don't know why people get so worried about their personalities.

    Gotta laugh at the Colby video would be funny if he caused Dana White getting divorced because of it.

    I really don't see an upset outside Pedro beating Cody possibly.

    I think Smith wins.

    I don't know how, or even why I think that, but I just think Jones will get his comeuppance tomorrow night.

    Genuinely not even a punchers chance. Smith misses too much watch him stand up and strike. He misses with most.

    Maybe it's just wishful thinking, because I genuinely detest Jones. He's a low life.

    He's not even funny or likable in any way.

    He's not your quintessential scumbag. But a genuine narcissistic low life with a superiority complex and no remorse.

    It would eat away at me if he was the goat (which he may well be). Contrast him to GSP, an absolute gentleman!

    Ive always disliked him just his arrogance done me before the proven juicing. But what pushed me over the edge was his attitude towards the reporter over the hype being around his failed tests rather then his and His fight

    hell of a card. most looking forward to askren lawler. i've a feeling askren could be exposed here badly. UFC is a whole different level. even a past his prime lawler is by far the highest level competition he's faced. but who knows.

    i hope the lad smith does what he says he's gonna do and goes warmode in jones face right from the bell. if he's tenuous at all jones will pikc him apart.

    woodley usman is a great fight. i guess woodley wins but it won't be easy for him i feel.

    not to mention fun fights with zabit and also cody.

    Askren Lawlor and Woodley Usman both have the potential to be extremely boring fights

    What would be boring about them?




    Also, Colby is such a cock.
    Dana will go through him for that little stunt.

    Would love to see Askren lose. Very entertaining on the mic but absolute dogsh*t to watch. Makes Demian Maia look like Diego Sanchez.

    And he's probably the reason people are warming to Woodley a bit.

    If Woodley wins tonight I honestly think he should be in the top 3 pound to pound fighters in mma today. Such an intelligent fighter.

    There is a hybrid version of the new rules in play tonight... all the new rules are in play minus the striking an opponent when one hand is on the canvas.

    This must get fairly confusing for fighters.

    Just tuning in, so they had the 145 women's category on TUF to negotiate some contenders for that division you'd think...so the winner offed to 135 immediately :D

    If Jones bears Smith is love to see Santos get a crack, he'd only have about a half round to try win but man it'd be a good watch.
