General UFC thread

Some interesting fights on tonights Fox card.

JDS vs Stipe Miocic
Struve Vs Testostereem
Meathead Vs Gonzaga
Dos Anjos Vs Diaz

Hoping dos Anjos repeats what Josh Thompson did to Diaz and Struve shatters Overeems glass jaw.
 
Yep, Jones v Cormier tomorrow at UFC 182.

Cannot wait for this match up! If you've not seen the video below it's well worth it.

They squared off during the media day. They almost started on each other again.

Apparently the two fight camps came together in the back.

Get this joker out of the Octagon before he's busted open!

To be fair he did shag Maria Kanellis.. fair play

It's been ages that I've actually been bothered to stay up to watch a fight, but I will for this one.

Feels like when I was watching an Ali or Tyson fight.

You just wanna see it live yourself.

Agreed. Been a while since probably Anderson Silva's last fight a year ago that I've been looking forward to a UFC main event.

Who've you got for it? I really can't call it.

In martial art terms it's a joke that he's going to competing in the UFC. In business terms it makes sense. If the UFC didn't sign him up then Bellator would have done and pulled big numbers.

It's actually the most interesting fight/ match up that I can recall. Jones was right when he thought it was strange that people were raving about how Cormier manhandled Henderson. The guy's basically 50 and fighting outside of his natural weight class. I didn't understand that one at all, besides the fact they were wrestlers! And??

I feel if Jones is tuned in, he will devastate Cormier, whom I don't like, but I am objective about. If Cormier is willing to drive through all the angled attacks he will wear out Bones, but he will have to be RELENTLESS and I doubt he has that 'singleminded-ness' beyond 3 rounds.

Bones ain't like other fighters Cormier has faced; he does move and is agile. Likewise Cormier isn't quite like other wrestlers Jones has faced; he can be a machine.

So, in conclusion (lol!) it all depends on where J'B'J's head's at, so will plump for him, by margins.
 
Weigh ins are live right now!! Will be replayed at the same link.

Starts around 5 mins. Or move towards the end to just see Jones and Cormier.

Think I'll record the majority and get up for the main Event - I'll only fall asleep whilst trying otherwise!

I'm a soft **** these days, need my sleep too much.

I expect it will be close fought and more chess like than a blood an thunder battle.

Although, I do fancy Jones to win in 3 with his reach giving hime the edge.
 
60/40 fight in Jones favour imo. Fancy Jones on points but I do believe it'll be his hardest fight yet. Cormier is a beast so Jones needs to keep his range and shutdown the impending take down attempts.

I think this fight will raise both fighters levels and even the loser will come on strong after tonight, this is a great division and these guys along with Gustasson are elite fighters.

Recording and turning all gadgets on silent. Wouldve stopped up had it not been a day I got loads planned for.
