The official make your bold prediction thread

[theheater]

in this thread you dont just pick the winner, you pick the round

conor vs aldo

aldo has more ways to win, more technical, and more proven. im going against logic and taking conor via power, chin, cardio

conor round 3 tko

weidman vs rockhold

i think rockholds striking is seriously over rated. weidmans is basic but very effective. i got weidman hurting him in the 4th and finishing a rocked rockhold via sub or gnp. also longshot prediction is weidman via leglock round 2

romero vs jacare

romero via unanimous decision


time to man up sherbros. call it like you see it

 

[Calivornia]

Conor by round 1 KO.

I hate making predictions on all these very well matched fights. I would not pull out my wallet for any of these fights. But theres my bold prediction.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Aldo via sub round 3

Weidman TKO round 2

Jacare sub round 2


But to be honest, I have no idea who will win in any of these fights - they're all pick ems imo.

 

[FIMN]

Aldo absolutely brutalizes McGregor for 3 rounds and coasts to a UD. Angry fans. Controversy.

 

[PriestPaiMei]

Aldo is going to force a shot from mcgregor in the 4th and catch him with a knee...

Rockhold wins a sd

Romero keeps his ko steak going and gets a first round ko

 

[KhabibTheBeagle]

Con-Air via UD

Weidman via UD

Jacaré via Sub

Maia via better BJJ

Holloway via UD

 

[viewer]

I predict Aldo is going to beat McGregor so hard people are going to wonder what was wrong with them for believing McGregor had a chance to beat Aldo. Reality is going to hit the Irishman...like a truck.

Second round - TKO

 

[Ever Watchful]

Aldo via dominant grappling and striking clinic. UD

Weidman via 2nd round KO

Jacare via grappling superiority. UD

Nelson via 3rd round Showtime Kick KO after clowning Maia and sinking in numerous subs only to laugh and let Maia go.

Holloway via 3rd round TKO

 

[theheater]

Aldo via sub round 3

Weidman TKO round 2

Jacare sub round 2


But to be honest, I have no idea who will win in any of these fights - they're all pick ems imo.

yeah these fights are harder than usual imo. i think aside from the talk the conor vs aldo fight is interesting because it has so many unanswered questions. conor might not even have an answer for a take down and bjj clinic. he might be made to look like a fish out of water. we just have no way of intelligently assessing his ability there. we dont know the impact of the iv. we dont know if conor can defend a leg kick. we dont know what conor has added to his arsenal. every fight he seems to add something new. we dont know if aldos chin can take his shot. we dont know if aldo will be planning to take him down. etc etc. in most fights i feel like theres a lot fewer questions going in

but this is the thread to be bold

 

[raconnor]

it's going to be an exciting night of fights

 

[theheater]

Con-Air via UD

Weidman via UD

Jacaré via Sub

Maia via better BJJ

Holloway via UD

gunnar via better striking

 

[catsforsale]

Rockhold smashes and TKO's Weidman in the second round.

 

[Thai Domi]

Conor will hurt Aldo with a body kick and finish him with a guillotine late in the 1st.
