Worried about UFC Manchester

[WolfPackHunter]

I personally have a bad bad feeling for fans of British fighters Paddy Pimblett and our 2 belt holders.
Welterweight belt holder Leon Edward's is in for a long long night with the Bully Belal and I don't see him keeping the title.
Interim HW title holder Tom Aspinall is up against an absolute beast in Curtis Blaydes, all this Tom will be HW GOAT only started after his last fight.
Paddy Pimblett is nowhere near as good as he thinks or the UFC thinks (plugging money into hype so they've some belief) but Bobby Green is very well rounded.
Mohammed Mokaev COULD be the saving grace but if Kape lands flush it could be a terrible night for us Brits.

Anyone more confident, anyone agree

I'm not invested in any of those fighters enough to worry. Just enjoy the fights sherbro.

If your guys lose, they'll get a chance to win another fight in a few months.

Yeah. Belal is pretty terrifying.

The way he is just starching bodies left and right in his path of brutal violence...

Yeah. Belal is pretty terrifying.

The way he is just starching bodies left and right in his path of brutal violence...

He is not searching people but he has been dominating top fighters for years.

A near 21/1 shot for the 4 foreign fighters

 

[ForeverYoung]

I wouldn't be so worried about Leon. He was literally walking through Belal in their last fight. Aspinall on the other hand is going to get fraud checked by Blaydes and i dont want to hear about legendary UK grappling ever again after this fight

 

[Ozze]

I think Leon takes it, Aspinall is 50-50 and Paddy can get by Green.

Nope. I hope and kind of expect paddy to get beat. His chin and grappling may save him though! We all know he’s a hype job, even his fans. I think both Tom and Leon will win fairly comfortably, with aspinall getting a stoppage fairly early

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I'm the first guy in any thread to point out the absurdity of people judging the first Leon-Belal fight like a victory for Leon, but man, saying you don't see how Leon keeps the title? That is bold, to say the least.


Now that I think of it, there is an irony of Leon-Belal and Tom-Curtis headlining this event, both rematches of fights that basically should not be judged on any degree of merit when analyzing how these fights will go. It's like an entirely fresh consideration

*edit* I'm not rooting for anyone cuz I think anyone winning each of those is decent, but man am I hoping for a double KO w/ Paddy-Green. Or maybe just Paddy gets knocked out when Green throws another obviously intentional headbutt and gets DQ'd for it.

 

[Vil7]

I would prefer to visit Womanchester.

 

[OldBoy91]

I mean, they're tough fights, but they should be.

2 of them are for world titles, Mokaev is probably fighting for a title shot or at worst a title eliminator. Paddy is fighting to get into the rankings.

It could he a bad night for British fans, but it could be one of the great nights in British MMA history.

I'd rather see that than giving all the British fighters layups on home soil.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Leon, and Aspinall win. I’m pretty confident about that. Paddy could absolutely get KTFO. I haven’t even given that fight much thought yet.

But if the belts stay in England. I imagine that would make the event a success with the crowd. Even if it is at some ridiculous hour.

 

[JKS]

I don't think I've ever been more confident in a fighter winning than Leon vs Belal. Tom will also win easily.

 

[humdizzle]

leon vs belal is pretty much a lock imo. what can belal do better than usman? nothing.

bobby green can give paddy trouble on the feet. but on the ground green doesn't have a chance.

 

[HHJ]

Its a fight, anything can happen.

Thats why its so exciting. If you didnt worry, or knew the outcome then its not as interesting to watch

 

[World eater]

My only worry is Aspinall losing. That would really put the division in a rock paper scissors scenario and give Jones even more Twitter fuel in justifying the interim belt situation and his silly legacy fights.
Not too worried about Leon and Mokaev.

 

[don't ask]

I wouldn't be so worried about Leon. He was literally walking through Belal in their last fight. Aspinall on the other hand is going to get fraud checked by Blaydes and i dont want to hear about legendary UK grappling ever again after this fight

Did you know Shirley Crabtree Jr. was the Hulk Hogan of Britain?

 

[Lycandroid]

Leon
Blaydes
Green
Moakev

 

[theufcbaddy]

People always get their money's worth when I'm fightin'. They all came to see me.

I'll put on a spectacular show and get my 50k, mark my words lads.

 

[HHJ]

My only worry is Aspinall losing.

That would ruin everything
