Who are you.......

I use to do some night club promo, stag parties and event planning as a side hustle. Did a party like 10 yrs ago up in montreal, and in da vip booth beside was dis black dude, n he liked one of the girls who was partyin wit me n my boys. so he bought us a bottle of cristal (yea it was back in those times when every nikka was drinkin cris in da club) and me him and 3 girls were all jus chillin. Dude sd wow, your from Toronto and know more ppl than I know in Mtl. he said when i come to Toronto next u gotta hook me up with parties and ish. Turns out the dude was David Loiseau.

He came to Toronto a few times, i hooked him up wit vip booths and tables around the city, and then slowly from there started hookin em up wit after party deals and ish like that. Then vice versa from chillin wit him in mtl started to get sum deals on hotels, nite clubs and group rates from Eventko, the group that sells tickets for Bell Centre in Montreal. So now whenever there is a UFC event in MTL i usually plan bus trips, hotels/fight tix/and club deals. And every UFC it has just expanded. Got a deal for the UFC in Toronto fights. My cousin lives out in Van so he helped with a UFC Vancouver deal. So now UFC announced Winnipeg, so ppl are msging me like yo can u hook it up.

He's top 10, but I wouldn't put him top 5. My P4P:

1) Silva
2) a. Bones
b. GSP
3) Aldo
4) Bendo
5) Cain
6) a. Barao
b. Mighty Mouse

GSP and Bones and Mighty Mouse and Barao are interchangeable.

Not sure why a lot of people are hating on this fight. Barao's one of the best fighters on the planet and Wineland's a very tough opponent [an upset in this fight is not far-fetched]. Plus, for the most part, they are both exciting.

Not sure why the hate either for the fight, its gonna be an exciting fight can't wait to see it.

My p4p, i treat more like a pound for pound list, and not like a best of the best list. I got:

1) Silva
2) Aldo
b. barao
3) bones
4) gsp
5) Bendo
6) edgar
b. Mighty Mouse

yeah I know, im gonna catch alot of heat over these rankings.

So what does JDS demolishing Mir and werdum have to do with Nelson rematching JDS. You think just because some1 beat somebody once they shouldnt fight again?

JDS demolished Cain 1st round tko, but cain beat em the 2nd time. Cain came back with a different gameplan, the 2nd time. GSP lost to arm bar to matt hughes, 2 yrs later they rematched and we all know what happened.

Every1 thought Big Foot had no chance against Reem on standing, they fought and da upset happened.

Roy vs JDS is a beautiful rematch. Roy has already faced him, knows what to expect and can gameplan around that. Roy has a lot of tv exposure from ultimate fighter, and is embraced by fans. I dont know what Hunt would bring to a JDS fight that Roy doesnt already bring plus more. Knock out power, a chin, check and check for Roy too. Every1 says Cain couldn't keep JDS down, Cain only has that wrestling base, he doesn't have a full grappling and BJJ base so that once he gets the fighter down, can use other maneuvers and holds to keep the opponent down. Multiple times JDS was giving Cain his back and jus standing up, a BJJ fighter would've been quick to get the hooks in and go for the rear choke. Cain jus held around his waist.

I'm just saying that Nelson couldn't beat fighters that JDS has steamrolled. Nelson is a step up above gatekeeper, while JDS is at the top of the heap.

The difference between the fights you mentioned and this one, is that those were relatively even fights. While this fight is horribly lopsided. JDS is a much much better striker, has more speed, and more power. The only advantage that Roy has, is on the ground [something that isn't even guaranteed], which is going to be completely neutralized by JDS's takedown defence and ability to spring back up when taken down. JDS took Roy's best shots unfazed in their first fight, so a KO is unlikely for Roy. Plus, all he really has is a telegraphed overhand right, which I don't see connecting. Most [if not all] the people here can admit this a horrible mis-match. I can't believe you actually like Roy's odds against Junior. This fight is a bigger mismatch than Cain/Big Foot.

Hunt is a much better striker than Nelson, he's a much bigger threat to JDS on the feet. Nelson's BJJ is going to completely useless because the fight's not hitting the ground. And even if it does, it will be for a very short amount of time.

BREH, I'm still waiting for name 10 better HWs than Hunt in the UFC. And, again, how is Nelson beating JDS?

Weidman went the distance with damien, hes going to get beaten in showmanship fashion. They'll probably ask for a rematch if he gets a decision.

Should be noted that he took that fight with 2 weeks notice.

Never said that Nelson is gonna beat em in a rematch, i said it would be a good fight that I would want to see and would rather see than Hunt face JDS. Nelson has more ways to win the fight possibly, as compared to Hunt. Hunt couldnt knock out Struve till ad big idiot jus stood in front of em wit his hands down askin to hit em. There's nothing impressive about beatin Struve in that fight or in that fashion.

You want 10 better than hunt currently, no prob:

cain
jds
cormier
big foot
reem
werdum
mir
barnett
nog
nelson

Hunt matches up well with JDS, his odds against Junior are better than Nelson's.

Barnett is not a UFC HW.

Barnett's last fight was in Zuffa, he hasn't fought for ne1 else since. So i'm countin em. Cormier's last fight was in Zuffa as well. Barnett has beaten Hunt already as well.
