ufc feeding cote to wonder boy thompson who should eat him like a box of timbits

hate the juice on mcgregor, but corassani was touching up the wreckless poirier, what will the notorious do to the diamond?

mcgregor way too much momentum, don't see his train derailed here

 

[gardenweasel]

I was thinking of parring Poirier with cormier hoping to hit a lottery shot,but cormier got postponed till 2015.....

this line keeps going up so everybody seems to be onboard the McGregor express... still, 2 guys have already beaten the great McGregor...so he`s obviously not as untouchable as he thinks he is....I may have to play a small one on Poirier(wouldn`t if this were in Europe).... if McGregor manhandles Poirier in the states,then I`ll say he`s the real deal...waiting to see how far this line goes up...might see a+300 by fight night....

I like zingano...she seems like she has excellent stamina and is tough and strong...used her in a par with McGregor/Poirier doesn`t go the distance(it was -180 when I hit it) at a little better than even money....


romero/kennedy and cerrone/alvarez are ridiculously good fights...cerrone/alvarez deserves to be the main event....the whole card is one of the better cards I`ve seen in a good while....

feeling less sure about zingano....the time off,the hubby croaking and the injury are more than enough to tase me in the genitals... ...for some reason I thought there was a size differential with zingano(theres not)...but,nunez has been off almost a year herself...

still,if zingano weathers the early storm that surely will come with nunes,she should be able to wear her down ala the tate fight..davis beat her and she`s the same type of grinder...nunez` stamina is ???..the par`s in so let it roll...

gamburyan?...he`s heading into Jorge gurgel territory...almost an automatic go against...

 

[THE_THONG]

yup, manny is an automatic fade

need to watch some more of james krause, seems masvidal is a level up and better all around fighter

poirier making this fight personal falls into mcgregor's hands, if he fights with total disdain, he'll be going to sleep, this ain't corassani's pillows that will be fluffing

I`ll be shocked if Poirier/mac goes the distance...I figured that the "doesn`t go the distance" prop was a decent hedge on my small Poirier future wager...both guys are finishers...

if Macgregor gets by poirier,put him in with red hot cub swanson and give the winner a title shot....

 

[kickserv]

Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier weigh-in was heated...wow baby wow:scared

How can ya not be excited for that fight:scared

 

[gardenweasel]

the entire weigh-in had a super bowl feel to it...

this is a special card...damned shame the main event isn`t a little more prolific...

 

[THE_THONG]

if you have your betting account offshore in costa rica,

you have to get the bets in tonight


costa rica's internet is getting cut until sunday morning... "maintenance"

 

[THE_THONG]

damn manny gets the upset

same tank scoggins caught up

 

[gardenweasel]

hard to believe that Gibson found a way to lose a fight he was easily winning....

 

[kickserv]

Why the fuck you tap Gibson:facepalm:

Props to Manny for continuing after that balls shot:scared

 

[gardenweasel]

about a minute and 14 seconds left in the round when manny pins Gibson against the fence.....a round Gibson looked to be winning...gamburyan is doing nothing with position...no punches or scoring...so,with around 20 seconds left,gibson tries to escape putting himself in jeopardy of being choked instead of just riding the second round out....

this is fight i.q. 101...what a horrible mistake...

 

[kickserv]

Lots of balls shots in the 1st two fights

Tuck got screwed when he got that point taken away from him.

 

[kickserv]

+220 underdog Ebersole wins a close one.

 

[kickserv]

Patrick Cote loses to the big fave Stephen Thompson.....Canada finishes 0-1 on the night:0060

It is not easy to hit Stephen Thompson, not easy at all.

 

[kickserv]

The big fave Jorge Masvidal wins easily.

 

[gardenweasel]

much as I`d like to see mizugaki upset the ufc coming out party for cruz,I think the speed differential here is so dramatic that mizugaki might look foolish.....maybe that`s the plan?....

unless cruz` rust really hampers him(or the injury remains a chronic issue)...

on paper,mizugaki seems too slow...


hope he pulls it off
