I’m rolling with moreno he showed up last fight hopefully he can do it again. Think Izzy gets a crazy KO. Might bet diaz for the fukkery

 

[Knockout_LR_Freshmart]

Since they kept it 5 rounds I hope Edwards finishes Diaz with a TKO stoppage due to cuts in the first 15 seconds.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Top 3 fights for the ppv are all really good

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Nate Diaz is about to get pieced up

 

[sportscribe]

Vettori is going to get desperate and KO'd.

He will be chasing Israel from the first bell and will end up getting caught with something and finished. I say the strike that does it is a high kick.

 

[jackswstd]

Hopefully Edwards has a stellar performance and gets the next shot at Usman. Colby can kick rocks he needs to earn another shot.

Vettori was acting like another Conor clone during that interview last Saturday. Even he himself didn’t believe the bullshyt he was saying.

Pulling for Moreno to get the W.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

In hoping these 2 Black Brehs beat up their opponents.

Vettori is so boring. I hope this doesn’t become a Blachowicz repeat.

Diaz is a real dude, I still really want Rocky to get that title shot.

for the double digit loss, BMF fighter fans out there ... there are two BMF's on this PPV card.

12-loss, Nate Diaz
- Diaz is 1-2 in his last three fights (4-5 in his last nine)
- has only fought three times in five years
- Diaz is 6ft tall and hasn't finished anyone above 5'8 in well over a decade (Rory Markham 2010)

10-loss, Demian Maia
- Maia is 3-4 in his last seven fights
- in fairness to him, he did lose to Woodley, Covington, and Usman all back to back to back
- Maia is coming off of a brutal TKO loss to Gilbert Burns


with the current BMF Champion, Jorge Masvidal, producing back to back losses (and 3-4 in his last seven fights), surely either Diaz or Maia will be next in line for the BMF belt.

@You know damn well

Maia vs Jorge for the retirement belt

Israel be getting legitimately angry when his opponents trash talk him

Lol that's why I have a good feeling about this one, he's approaching this one like Costa. He was too friendly with Jan.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Very, very curious if we'll see "This dude has ZERO wrestling defense" Israel or "Oh my damn.. he beat the brokes off that boy" like vs Costa Israel.

I'm betting on the latter.

Also it's time: Rocky needs to do this for the culture (I respect Nate though) because we need a guaranteed Black champion (Black vs Black championship fight)

Figueiredo is strong, strong, strong. If fully healthy with a full camp, my worry is not if Moreno can survive (he's got crazy heart) but if he can actually hurt Figueredo..

 

[profound]

I’m rolling with moreno

I’m gonna wait for his line to get better then throw a few hundred on him.

gut feeling

I could be wrong, Fig is good, but moreno is in his head, calling him ugly and laughing about it, and I think fig constantly saying he was sick for that fight is weak. Fig is kinda old for the weight class too.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

You never saw Rampage vs Evans or Jones vs Evans/Rampage?

Very, very curious if we'll see "This dude has ZERO wrestling defense" Israel or "Oh my damn.. he beat the brokes off that boy" like vs Costa Israel.

I'm betting on the latter.
