"I'm extremely happy with my performance"
Brooks seems like the kind of guy that reads self help books.

Gonna be taking a real close look at GOAT Chinese fighter Wang Guan

not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic, but from the tape I've found on him Guan is a live dog. He's a sniper on the feet and has some nasty ground n pound like a skinny Asian Matt Hughes. Not sure about his grappling but I think there's some value on him at plus money dude.

Think I'm joking? maybe I am

But who is the GOAT Chinese fighter? It's either Jingliang or Guan.

1.3 billion people in China and Guan may be the best of all.
 
I do not like Garcia at all as a fighter. But what I'm seeing of Muslims bottom game makes me think Garcia could win this

Wang is actually pretty good also

Which book had Gastélum at that price?

betsafe had 1.64, williamhill had 1.61, betfair exchange traded at 1.62 also, and I also took betfair sportsbook @ 1.57 a couple days later. I think betway may of had 1.64 too but i don't use that pile of shit book. I took gastelum all the way down to 1.44, to lay on the exchange which is 1.41 atm but looking to go lower imo.
 
I haven't been asking to fight at all these far places, but I can't complain, I was surprised my last fight was a split win (Kunimoto), I know I lost the 3rd, took the fight on 3 weeks notice, even the Burkman split, full training camp this time, Li brings a good pace, he's good everywhere, but I'm a little bit better everywhere, feel confident, great shape, healthy, added strength and conditioning, last fight on my contract, looking to resign

 
Look's like Li is at Jackson's MMA, maybe some other fighters on the card? Can anyone translate.

 
First fight outside of US, I want to get paid so I took the fight, 20 hour flight, becareful of the food you eat there, leaving Sunday, have a couple days to adjust, Coach Winkeljohn can't make it, happy with my last fight, more patient, more defensive, I like wars though, but you can't do that your entire career, Abdurahimov is tough, good defensive, he catches kick for take-downs, he's intelligent, I don't think it will be a fun fight, will have to score points, he's boring, I won't chase him around the cage, it's ridiculous, the UFC will probably cut him if he loses, trained with Tybura, cardio is good because of altitude, this will be a 3 round fight, it will be a point fight, move, use my speed, he's a counter striker, I won't try to take his head off, he clinches, all I care about is the win, I've fought 5 times in 14 months, I want to go enjoy Mardi Gras in March, I love to fight but I want to enjoy life a bit

 
Silva is a big deal, trying not to let it get to my head, that's why I'm taking it very serious, growing from loss, UFC has invested in me, want me to win, I felt flat that night, was a mental thing, learned to get mentally prepared now, Cordeiro is a great coach, so calm

 
I didn't think I'd be saying this, but I'm on the way to the gym, Parillo was going to China already for Curran, so I joked about it, I found out Silva pulled out and I said why not, the loss has been haunting me, now will get 2 pay days for 1 training camp, Dana said I can have it as long as I get checked out, I don't know anything about Gastelum, I won't even watch any tape, I didn't fight to my ability, I injured myself the last day of camp and I could hardly move my torso, this gives me a chance to get back in the win column, exercise my mental demons, physically I'm good, mentally I'm pissed off, I'm heavy again, been living off alcohol for 7 days, now I can clear my mental space, go out there have a good performance, I was wary of the take downs, I should have just throw caution to the wind, any pay day so quick, I do this for my family, one more fight in London and call it day, hopefully I get the win

 
Last fight I had a rough weight cut because of the short notice, I got sick, now a proper weight cut, has to cut 27 pounds, after loss I found out I'm alot stronger mentally than I thought, just happy to be here, have a real fight camp, bring all my food with me, getting there on Sat, 20 hour travel, Wu is an aggressive striker, we focus alot on wrestling at Xtreme Couture, I can stand and bang, if all else fails, take her down, she's tough, I have bumps and bruises, focusing on conditioning, I cut from heavy, but weight is low and strong, I'm at the UFC institute every day, I love striking, would love to see a KO, but I see myself punches her face on the ground on her back, hopefully everything goes as planned, just happy to be here and get paid

 
People are so quick to fade Bisping but at -250 I wouldn't do it.

Gastelum is not a real middleweight, he has a smaller frame than GSP, easily Bisping's smallest opponent.

This fight will most likely be a kickboxing match and Bisping can hold his own on the feet with anyone. I do expect Gastelum to try and mix in TD's but not confident that he has success doing so. Bisping is a high volume striker and he's good at winning rounds, stats favour Bisping.

Bisping losing to GSP, taking significant damage and now rushing back to fight weeks later may not be the smartest thing to do. But as long as he's not injured and he's in shape then I don't see a huge problem.

Bisping is as tough as they come and he will fight tooth and nail everytime. Gotta respect the will to win, he didn't tap vs GSP, he went out. Thats a warrior right there, real fighter, not like all these posers we see

Lets be real...

I never liked Bisping ever since I got robbed regarding his match with Matt hammil.

That being said, I respect the hell out of Bisping for stepping up on short notice , 3-4 weeks out from his previous fight...

This guy is a fucking warrior...i counted this guy out so many times, I can't begin to tell you all the times he's proved me wrong...

Yea, I'm not betting against Bisping here
