This card is literally stacked.

 

[TheKaeptain]

War Werdum!

 

[JimiNutz]

I think Browne is the next heavyweight champ.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Yep. Thats a card.

 

[PaulKersey]

Browne is the favorite? Crazy. I don't know who will win that... both guys look great sometimes then crap the bed.

 

[zewone]

I like it. I'll be in Vegas. Hopefully I can find somewhere to watch and bet on fights.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I think Browne is the next heavyweight champ.

Not as long as Cain is around.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Surprised people are so high on this card. Only 3 fights interest me:

Fabricio Werdum (+170) vs. Travis Browne (-200)
Donald Cerrone (-125) vs. Edson Barboza (-105)
Khabib Nurmagomedov (-255) vs. Rafael dos Anjos (+195)

Any other fights I should be looking forward to?

 

[Lazyslob]

I dont like that neanderthal browne. let's go werdum!

 

[Dysun]

Feels like forever since Werdum fought anyone besides Zombie Nog

I'll go with Browne

Any other fights I should be looking forward to?

Brad Tavares (-155) vs. Yoel Romero (+125)

Yoel Romero is one of the most unorthodox fighters I've ever seen have success at a high level, and an Olympic silver medalist to boot. Unpredictable, lightning in a bottle and can't be missed.


Thiago Alves (-400) vs. Seth Baczynski (+310)

Alves back after two years on the shelf. Sure, why not?


Jordan Mein (-385) vs. Hernani Perpetuo (+265)

Mein got outclassed by Brown, but only 24 and a lot of upside. Nice elbow game. Watch his Strikeforce fight with Cyborg Santos a few years ago for a good example.

Hernani Perpetuo's UFC debut. Current Shooto champ out of Nova Uniao. Should be interesting.


Mirsad Bektic vs. Chas Skelly

Mirsad Bektic is an undefeated prospect out of ATT to keep an eye on. This kid is nasty.

Don't know anything about his opponent, but undefeated as well.


Derrick Lewis vs. Jack May

Bad MMA heavyweight super fight. Lewis is Legacy FC's HW champ. Had the pleasure of watching Jack May fold a man in half with a headkick on an indian reservation. This will be like visiting 1997, for better or for worse.

 

[VASPER]

Yeah solid card will watch. War Cowboy! I love me some Cupcake too

 

[Lambda Pie]

i fuckin hate Hapa, holy shit.

 

[TheChits]

Masvidal/Healy is also a fight to look out for. Best card in a long time I think. War Alves!

 

[ShaneB]

Looks like another fun night of fights.

 

[Judderman]

*reads thread title*

...I don't believe you. I'll try to watch it.

 

[Heel]

Masvidal/Healy is also a fight to look out for.

My expectations are low on that one. If Healy gives us anything worth watching I'll consider it a small miracle.

 

[alr1ght]

Habib Marwan should be on the main card.

 

[polyh3dron]

I like it. I'll be in Vegas. Hopefully I can find somewhere to watch and bet on fights.

Best sportsbook is at Hooters FYI, because they have the whole card up unlike every other place.

My picks.. Holy shit this card is great. Definitely thread worthy.

 

[Heel]

lol the ol' Pat Healy pick. Hard to disagree.

 

[polyh3dron]

lol the ol' Pat Healy pick. Hard to disagree.

I would consider picking against Alves if he was fighting anyone else other than Seth Baczynski. But Seth Baczynski is fucking terrible.

Sweet. Thanks for the advice. Didn't even realize I could gamble there.

Yep, the Hooters casino in Vegas across from the MGM Grand.

 

[Dysun]

I can't keep all these russian guys in my head, is Khabib Nurmagomedov the best one ? I thought he was fighting Ben Henderson but I guess its the other one?

UFC Russia tier list:

Khabib the Eagle (future UFC champion)
Adlan the Bearded Weirdo (cartwheels, spin kicks and other oddities)
Rustam the Suplex Machine (throw you around until something breaks)
Ali the Hobbit (main eventing a PPV destined for the lowest buyrate in the modern era)

I'm not familiar with the bearded one I guess, the others are familiar

Can't be touched is great for that bear wrestling video lol

Russian fastballs for days

 

[Dysun]

dat spinning back kick ko is nasty

I remember him starching Waldburger now, its in the clip

 

[Guru-Guru]

"Russian" fighters from Chechnya and Dagestan will takeover the UFC. Only problem for the UFC is that none of them will ever be able to draw PPV buys or sell tickets, despite being entertaining fighters. Nobody in Russia buys PPV's, and when the UFC does get around to hosting events in Russia, they will learn that Russians hate people from both Chechnya and Dagestan. I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC slows down the amount of fighters they add to their roster from the Caucasus region.

 

[beasty]

Its going to be interesting to see what the UFC does with Meisha Tate if she goes on a 3 fight losing streak. She is popular,speaks well, very marketable and probably the most attractive female fighter other than Gina Carano and Laura Sanko. UFC wants her to be the shit, so they can have someone other than Ronda Rousey pulling interest for the division.

Card is stacked.

 

[Az]

Mirsad Bektic will be big one day. Kid is talented.

Are bears good wrestlers?

What makes them better than just wrestling another kid?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to wrestle a bear too, but it seems more just like bragging rights.

 

[Host Samurai]

Hart says Werdum, mind says Browne.

Since all my fav's have been losing pretty much every event, I will bet against them. Browne and Liz will take this.

Spoiler

War Werdum. War Tate

Liz Carmouche is terrible

Miesha wins this no problem

 

[Slizz]

Cerrone Barbosa should be good. I guess the main event too since its heavyweights.

 

[BearFlexington]

This and Masvidal Healy make the card.

 

[polyh3dron]

Don't forget the return of Thiago Alves

He's gonna make a run for the belt, brehs

He wants another shitle tot.

He's gonna knock the fuck out of the greatest Seth Baczynski that ever lived.

 

[BearFlexington]

i fuckin hate Hapa, holy shit.

Is it the elbows to the back of the head (Gonzaga AND Barnett fights) or the disrespectful use of Josh Barnett's signature throat slash?

I'm not a fan either.

 

[hwalker84]

I got box seats. Heading up to catch the 5pm on up.

 

[parrotbeak]

I'm just glad Browne is finally getting recognized so I can get people to watch UFC with me again.

Crosses fingers, he has some power in those hands.

 

[DY_nasty]

Can't wait to see Tate get sent off into the next dimension

 

[polyh3dron]

I got box seats. Heading up to catch the 5pm on up.

Please post pics of how fucking empty the arena is.

Can't wait to see Tate get sent off into the next dimension

Not likely to happen tonight.
