Bofando vs Laprise is an awesome fight. Extremely technical kickboxer versus a wild TKD specialist.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Laprise wins via being a better MMA fighter with more tools.

Trujillo likewise, probably submission.

Taleb ekes out a competitive decision,

All three will be entertaining, IMO.

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Going from Conor's inner circle nuthugger to Chad Laprise is a HUGE step up in competition.

Laprise decision or Galore DQ's himself.

 

[tbpredator]

Fights laprise to lose.
He always fights smart
He got ahead of himself against trujillio but Galore should be considered a step down in comp to what he's been fighting.

Should be a fun one tho

 

[R.Doria]

they keep feeding Laprise with very winnable fights
only time they didn't Trinaldo bounced his head like a basketball

 

[Dick]

I don't understand UFC matchmaking sometimes. Bofando might be old, but he has potential to be a star with his flashy style. Give him the Sage treatment for a few fights before feeding him to a beast like Laprise.

I hope he can pull it off, but Laprise is a dangerous fight.

 

[SugarKrok]

That's my reaction. Hoping for another even more savage KO than last time.

 

[Failwani]

And now we reminisce about the time Galore KO'd an SBG guy with a shove.

 

[Shadey1]

Some fun fights. Feel galore is kinda tailor made to be beaten by laprise. As for trujillo and makdessi. I have abel by tko and I think taleb takes a decision.

 

[VitorReem]

Bofando via throwing this fucking bum on his head and killing him

 

[DarkneT]

Weird fight imo

Laprise will kill him

 

[TCE]

Interesting to see that Galore is a big underdog in this fight.

May put some cash down on him. I think he wins it this Saturday.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

This fight is so interesting. In one sense I see Galore winning big with a KO, or I can see Laprise dominating him. Where gonna find out a lot about both men here. Laprise has been around for a while now, and really needs some nice performances to get over the next hump, and Bofando looks to be a super prospect who is only 1-0 in the UFC and hasn't fought the best competition. Big step up for him in Laprise. This is one of the fights I'm looking forward to most Saturday night
