OSP - Third Round - TKO.

I don't find this fight interesting at all. St. Preux will last a round or two before Jones TKO's him. Maybe RNC. Jones is almost boring in a way. We already know the outcome. Part of the reason I never liked dominant champs like Jones, Anderson, and St. Pierre. The outcome was 99% probable and the method somewhat predictable too.

 

[Thesnake101]

Lima vs Hester should be fireworks.

Let's see if my picks do better than last UFC card. I got crushed. I was almost right about Bethe, new blue @chunglii , I think she may have edged that fight against Rocky.

 

[chunglii]

my picks were garbage for Fox 19. Im 50/50 on the Pettis-Barboza fight and Fili-Rodriguez. I think everytime either of them have fought, I picked against them.

wtf i thought this was a fox card from what i saw of it the other day. oh well

 

[Kahran]

I'm seeing a lot of Jones KO/TKO predictions, I would be blown away to see Jones come back and start finishing fights with strikes again, he hasn't for a while.

 

[rockylion]

oh shit, congrats @chunglii
@Wadtucket save some wad for later homie

 

[BeeCee]
