Decent event

Got a parlay with Corassani, Rakoczy and Diaz. All three are underdogs

 

[b00m]

Cheers for the links once again Mr B

 

[yesum]

Wow! I had a feeling Nate would win but not like that!

Nate threw a short punch to Maynard's face with Maynard coming forward and he just never recovered. Diaz did not let him off the hook and his accurate punching was enough to finish him.

The Diaz bros are really accurate with their punches and if they get lucky with one, well guess it can end it for the unlucky sucker.

209 = Stockton area code where the Diaz brothers are from.

 

[Elmer Bud]

G`day Yesum

Yes he got tagged plenty .
Maynard has been beaten to the living death in his past few fights . Time to consider acquired brain injury . He`s not a contender anymore . Are the show + win bonuses a worth while pay day ?

209 is the Stockton post code ?
The Diaz brothers are always talkin bout representing 209 bitches .

Thanks for sharin

Taking nothing away from Diaz but watching Maynard not Defend himself was hard

 

[Tony Montana]

See GSP has given up his belt

That's right mate I heard that today
Hear Hendrix is Fighting Lawler for the Vacant title in Feb

Looking forward to 168 on the29th! I know Rousey is not everyone's cup of tea but I hope she wins, I reckon she will break Tates arm if she gets the arm bar

Silva won't make any mistakes this time round

 

[Ickis]

And when Silva doesn't make any mistakes and Wiedman still beats him then Silva fans should not cry about the loss this time.

My thoughts are...

Silva gets ground and pounded, bloodied up and then submitted. Wiedman is not only good he is very smart and very relaxed and confident.

Tate TKOs Rousey because she taps due to blows or the ref stops it. Tate will keep this one standing and Rousey has absolutely no stand up game. Plus I don't think Rousey can take what she dishes out. She will not hold up to having her face pounded on. And after she loses she will run out of the cage like Forrest did after being KO'd by Silva. Except Rousey will be crying with her pouty face. We will never see her fight in the UFC again. She will return to the olympics.

 

[SPG*]

I'm not a fan of rouseys attitude one little bit especially after the coaches challenge!
I would like Tate to box her ears off but I fear rousey will armbar her at some stage (again!)

Looking fwd to seeing silva-weidman 2 and also Condit v Sam? (Real tough sob)

Im not sure if you have seen the first Rousey vs Tate fight?

A very green Rousey, dominated Tate and bent her arm 90 degrees the wrong way doing a lot of damage in the process. This is such a mismatch its not even funny. The UFC have been marketing this as the biggest fight in the world bla bla bla. Total mismatch that wont even be close but the people are lapping it up like thirsty kittens.

All that said, I Would love nothing more than for Tate to smash Rousey as I am not a fan of hers at all. She could use a good humbling, I just dont think Tate is the one to do it. I would rather shit in my own hands and clap than to listen to or see Rousey on the TV ever again.

The Weidman vs Silva fight is exciting and it should be. I think Silva annihilates Weidman this time. No clowning, with the hands down, straight up killer Silva is coming IMO. That being said, Weidman is the real deal and I can see him doing the same thing again and he will have a bright future. I just think the first fight was the perfect storm of Silvas boredom and Weidmans hunger.

 

[Ickis]

I saw it Bmac. I was rooting for Rousey back then. Rousey does at least two things very, very good. World class judo good. The hip toss and the arm bar. It is a combination that goes together like peanut butter and jelly.

Tate can not let her grab her. She has to start power punching her face right from the start. Controlled power not wild haymakers. She has to keep moving and time her punches and kicks. She has to take the fight right away to the same level as the Cat Zingano fight at it's peak.

If she comes out tentative and doesn't let her hands go she deserves to be arm barred and submitted again.

 

[SPG*]

No mixed up I was meaning the Travis Browne vs josh Barnett fight the Uriah hall vs leben fight should be good too
