Nobody's watching this?

 

[OfTheCross]

Eh..I might watch

 

[So UnThotful]

Had no clue it was this Saturday

Seems like no good build up.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Not a bad card all things considered

 

[trick]

The GOAT is on the card

Usually cards that look bad end up being a lot of fun, except for that Holly/GDR fight...I'm not really looking forward to watching Holly punching air and yelling for 25 minutes

 

[Willy Waffle]

i think gdr put holly to sleep though

[LinusCaldwell]

I would like Holm to win let's see what happens. I'm a fan of Brunson and goat Silva

@Newzz that's a fight to watch Silva vs Brunson... I don't have a good feeling for this match. I def want Silva to win but Brunson can't afford to take this loss

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Looking forward to this card.

Wouldn't be surprised if GDR finished Holly, unless Holly doesn't want to get oustruck on the feet again and has been working on nothing but the ground game since her last loss I expect this to be a standup fight, and GDR has way better hands and more pop as well. After his last fight I expect Brunson to go the Cormier route and try to wrestle his way to a win, just hoping Spider pulls the damn trigger when he gets his chances.

Facts.

I don't want to see complacent Silva. We need that Silva vs. Leben/Irvin!

He was knocked down by bisbing and weidman dudes not really known for heavy hands, his chin is very susceptible. He's got no other option but to be cautious especially against a Brunson who has wrestling and potential ko power

Cormier threw about 4 overhands that connected in his last fight, and he ate'em all... his chin is not that suspect, but a well placed punch can knock you out easily.
and he is known for his pinpoint accuracy, so he have a good chance of knocking people out without much power, but also by having a lot of tricks on his sleeve...
