Prelim

Source, early prelim & times in your area.










You have to stack a ppv like this without a title (real one). Main card looks great, and Johnny Walker to wrap up prelims is almost perfect. No dancing allowed for him.

Last vids for Tesseract as he's Nates bestie & Gamebred for JareBear: Remastered .

Nates chin needs to be tested (it's solid), and Masvidal has already tested and destroyed a few chins. I'm team Masvidal for this one.

 

[Tesseract]

i see you and i are enemies in this fight, quantity

(i really like mas, it's gonna be like watching two brothers fight)

 

[JimiNutz]

Stacked card!
Im a huge Diaz fan but if I had to bet it'd be on Masvidal. Nate has often surprised me in the past though so may he tires Masvidal brawling and then finishes him on the ground?

[JareBear: Remastered]

Thanks for the thread UQ, fresh as always

I am gonna do a deep dive on this later, some really fascinating matchups on main card and undercard

I was on a hot streak for a little while with my picks but I hit a stretch recently of all misses so hopefully I am due for some correct calls finally

 

[AlphaMale]

I don't like Diaz's cockiness, so I'd prefer a Mazvidal win. However, I think Diaz's cardio is far superior, so he'll likely win if it goes 3 rounds or more.

I'm not disagreeing with you, Diaz has better cardio but have we ever seen Masvidal truly
gas out? I remember he went 5 rounds with Benson, at lightweight, sometime around 4 years ago in a fight I remember being fairly competitive (it's been awhile, I could be wrong). He's won numerous 3 round decisions.

Diaz has better cardio than 98 percent of the UFC roster but I wouldn't say cardio is a weakness of Jorge's. Unless I've missed something, which I may have

True, but Diaz can also take A LOT of punches. I don't recall Diaz ever being knocked out? (I could be wrong, but I can't think of it right now)

 

[Max_Po]

I have Masvidal, but not by flashy first few seconds KO. I think it will be 3 rd round when Nate gets picked apart.

I like Nate as well, but he lost all harder fights, Ben Henderson, Rory McDonals.... etc ... I feel that he will lose.

 

[12Goblins]

Nate wins by sub

Josh Thomson headkicked him the fuck out.

In fairness that shot would've dropped anyone. Diaz def has a good chin but he's not bullet proof.

also, Rory McDonald delivered Eddie Guerrero/Chris Benoit level german suplexes to Nate...

 

[bronk]

Sup fuckers! This is gonna be a doozy. Can't wait!

 

[JimiNutz]

Yeah Nate been fucked up a few times.

I love the dude and think he fights wild but he's not some unstoppable Terminator. Masvidal def has the power and skill to drop him. Should be a good fight!

They probably practice karate together.

Saw this on my fb feed and it seemed appropriate.

Masvidal trolls Colby with Trump set to attend UFC 244

Jorge Masvidal ‘honoured’ to fight in front of Donald Trump – ‘there are other fighters and the president won’t go to their fights or even acknowledge them’.

It's WWE /ufc with the Rock presenting the 'belt', and a former WWE participant (trump) in attendance.

[Tesseract]

this shit is gonna be so good

let's go, brothers

Two days to go, can't wait for this one. Updated OP with relevant missing info. Blame UFC JareBear: Remastered

Diaz looked tired in the 2nd and 3rd round of the Pettis fight. He'll probably be in better shape for this fight, but who knows. Masvidal has great cardio too.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm more hyped for this than death stranding...

I have my good weed for special occasion and i ordered 40 euros of pork's couples for the munchies, my body is ready.

Hoping for a double ko in the main event and rooting hard for my boys kelvin and johnny walker.

Ready for kevin "the deluded cuntown phenom" lee being destroyed by gregor in a wrestling match.

Can't wait.

The image in the op is my new wallpaper.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Such an awesome card. Just 2 more days.

and like always:


Please no pull outs

 

[highrider]

I picked Jorge because I really would like to see him get a payday despite being a fan of the Diaz brothers. Nate has a good series with Connor, he's got some walk around money. Purely from a skill perspective they're very evenly matched, Nate probably enjoying an endurance advantage with Jorge probably having the heavier hands.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

 

[sonomamashine]

Diaz is a slow starter, that's what im worried about, it's like you fighting a guy and you dont wanna hurt him, he gets confident go harder at you then you like ok now im gonna fuck you up, diaz should stop with that courtesy.

 

[AlphaMale]

Love that interview. Thanks for sharing!

 

[TrainedRage]

So hyped for this!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

 

[Soleil rouge]

That's a great card; every single match on the main card is worth watching. Johnny Walker is on the freakin prelims for crying out loud!

I got Masvidal easy. Nate looked so slow and sloppy in the Pettis fight. I believe he lost a lot of passion after the Conor paydays. I doubt he'll ever get it back. Masvidal's boxing is just too crisp and he's in top form.

 

[Later Alligator]

now thats a fuckin card

used to seeing a solid main event and 1 other good fight on the main, padded with bums and wmma

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

This card is insane, can't wait. Diaz got this.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Uh wut

 

[mekes]

Damn, Nate is so much taller than Masvidal. I think I'm swaying more towards Nate after seeing the weigh in. His shape looks a lot better than past ventures at 170.

 

[MaestroMike]

Going for Nate. He's always been durable saw him take hard as$ punches from Conor...hmmm and Masvidal not sure if he has Nate's endurance...gotta go for Nate plus I'm biased Nate's dope.

 

[TheGreatYosh]

My fight picks have been pretty spotty recently, but I got Diaz, Gastelum, Thompson, Ivanov, and Lee.

 

[Soleil rouge]

Damn, Nate is so much taller than Masvidal. I think I'm swaying more towards Nate after seeing the weigh in. His shape looks a lot better than past ventures at 170.

Till was also taller and heavier than Masvidal on fight night. Then again, Till cuts a massive amount of weight on purpose, and we've seen how that can negatively effect fighters. Diaz is close to his natural weight.

 

[Carton]

I've been vacillating on my prediction for Diaz-Masvidal. I am going to go with Masvidal: he has the power and gas tank to get it done; he'll pop him and follow up quick enough to force a ref stoppage.

I like Gastellum and I think he hands Till another KO loss, but I am rooting for Till just because I wouldn't like to see his brain shook again so soon nor for him to go 0 for 3 consecutively.

 

[pesaddict]

Somebody gonna get 2 piece & soda

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Johnny Walker is a liability, a funny one.





Gastelum is getting fined for his shenanigans, fight will continue. I agree with mmaworld, probably cake & chicken.

 

[highrider]

Time to start working on a hustle to avoid paying for this

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Honestly I can't even predict this card. I've tried writing down my thoughts and I keep second guessing myself before finishing

to me so many of the fights are 50/50 coin flips. I can see either buy having numerous ways to win in a majority of the matchups

gonna be a fun night

For the main event I picked Masvidal but I wouldn't be confident enough to bet money on it

edit

If someone were to tell me that JW scores another highlight KO I wouldn't be surprised at all, and if someone told me that Corey Anderson grinder out a 3 round decision I wouldn't be surprised either

 

[EverydayBeast]

Talented card

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I am favoring Kelvin over Till. I like Till, this is a hell of a welcome to 185 tho. Kelvin is a motherfucking motherfucker

 

[TrainedRage]

Here we go, first fight of the night.
Dawodu got this.

 

[TrainedRage]

Yes!!! "Black Eagle" with that Indian drumming walkout music.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I had it 2-1 Dawodu

 

[TrainedRage]

Dude the sound of these kicks!! Big Chief got fucked up that round. His chin is made of pure iron.

If Till had half the chin Chance has maybe. Gastelum can drop Till, and I think he will.

 

[TrainedRage]

OMG look at all that blood. Dude. brutal.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Watching other fighters at 125 just reminds me of how fucking special Bullet Valentina is. She mops both these chicks

edit

In my opinion, of course

I fully agree. If Chookagian is # 1 then Val is leagues better.

 

[Tesseract]

note to self, don't drink and 'shitpost' when my boy nate is about to enter the cage

incredibly hyped, wishing well for everyone's camps

mas is a good guy
