Not bad at all. Free to watch fights make my night.

After the cowboy fight I got 5 decisions in a row. I didn't realize I had done that until I looked at all my pix together. (the entire prelim +)

Doez anyone else see any of those being stopped? ...& please share why.

 

[Zarra]

Ready to watch some fights.

 

[europe1]

I wish every card started this early. Might even be able to catch some of Pancrase afterwards.

 

[Capsela]

Holly got some nice legs.

possible late finish for Saenz. Herrig or Curran could catch a submission on the other

Maybe Cottrell TKOs a gassed Prazeres in the 3rd but I don't know much about the new guy. 50/50 on the opening prelim fight, the Prazeres fight, and the main event.

 

[podsox]

heading there in a couple hrs. always pumped to go.

Holm is going to decision.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Holm is going to decision.

Yeah, I can definitely see that too... I just feel that there will be a lot more "pressing the fight" since Holm won't have to be worried about a take down. That's why I got a late KO... & I just flipped a coin to choose between the 4th & 5th round.

It could easily go to decision too though.

Hey! We got that in common~ Who knew...

[FadeLess]

Judging by the staredowns at the weigh ins we should be in for some fireworks ..... niiiiiiiiiiiice ..... and Ngannou looks fkin huge compared to Mihajlovic ... hory shit !!
Looking forward to watching Barboza fight.

I got Holly and Barboza and that french big HW guy.. oh yea and there is a new russian HW making his debut in the UFC.

For the others either don't care or don't know them that well.. I'm starting to be more selective overall with my MMA.. I kinda had my full of the lower end, sloppy MMA displays.. I need some skill level, some background etc. or at least in the end some story/drama as cheap as that sounds.

Say no to crappy/mediocre MMA even if it's free is my choice now it's not like in the old old days where you had to support mediocrity left and right just so we promote MMA so it doesn't die out.. shit sold for 4 bill.. it should be here to stay at this point... let them put on quality and pay the talent so they come to it. (not saying this card is crappy but just overall)

Scrub the stainz in Oxyclean... before putting it in the wash... that stuff works wonderz.
Do it again before the dryer if teh stain iz still there.

Unless your shirt iz white you'll want to start out with a half strength mix to make sure you don't discolor the shirt.

Not full,lol. I have picks only for the Main and co main (Holly and Barboza). Also hoping for a nice KO from Ngannou. For the rest of it,I just wanna kick back and watch fights.

I feel the same way... & often get more enjoyment from BSing on the Sherdog live chat than watching the undercardz... but you never know when you'll see a runaway fight.

The very 1st fight should be a barn burner though. Not leaving the 1st round without a KO! Looking forward to Cowboy too!

Most of the main card seemz pretty good.

What do think @HI SCOTT NEWMAN
