[Lord Beasley]

I'll pray for Holly's life .

She got big bawls tho

My dog Los is finally back in the ring, but he should be retiring soon if he doesn't get a decisive win

 

[Cole Cash]

Man vs beast

 

[The G.O.D II]

People think Cyborg will steam roll and she maybe will. But keep in mind she has never faced anyone remotely good outside Carano who was a gym class kickboxer. It will be interesting to see how she does against someone her size and still somewhat in their prime. Same with Khabib and Barboza. Khabib was looking shaky as fukk standing with MJ. If Barboza can stay upright it will be interested. I pray he wins. Dude has a solid win streak and got boned by an illegal upkick from Ferguson. Plus Khabib is such a spoiled brat who’s really beaten nobody

 

[No Ma’am]

Almost Khabib Time.

 

[The G.O.D II]

And fukk Moraes for getting called on his bluff and not fighting after all that shyt he was barking

 

[aceboon]

Should have just scheduled Moraes/Rivera from the jump when Cruz first got injured and Moraes asked for it after the Dodson fight. Everyone knew Aljo was in over his head against Moraes and honestly I would have rather seen Moraes/Rivera over Cruz/Rivera, Cruz's punching technique is abhorrent.

 

[Strapped]

All it takes is 1 good head kick

 

[Mantle Drunk]

Am I missing something with this Calvillo chick? Im not impressed and I seen shes the favorite in the fight with Carla i'm thinking about throwing money down on Esparza. Shes got be able to atleast control 2 rounds with her wrestling. I know the other chick constantly throws up submission attempts but if you cant submit Calderwood then I question how good your jiu jitsu really is.

 

[75 Others]

Hopefully Khabib makes weight. Edson is no fukking joke though, baddest kicks in the UFC hands down even with Prime Aldo

 

[8====D]

Barboza Gang Gang Gang Gang!!!!!

I wouldn't say rda is a nobody. MJ is a gatekeeper but that's still a solid win

 

[George's Dilemma]

I barely follow MMA, but how did the Holm/Cyborg fight get sanctioned? And at it being the main event.
