General UFC thread

Tonight is Rousey vs Holm.

Looking forward to Joanna Jedrzejczyk though.

Weigh ins were spiky.

 
Rousey is overhyped. Happy she lost and will never retire undefeated.

By the way, if there is a rematch I think Holm will do her again.. just think there is a lot of holes in Rousey's standing game that people overlook because she is a good knockout artist.

Holm's dominated, it wasn't a fluke hit or knockout, Holm's was ahead all the way. Rousey got her ass handed to her on plata.

Two differences here; Holm's footwork and kicks.

If RR goes back to the drawing board and moves her head, feet and commits to throwing punches, she'll beat HH the next time around as she's have her Ju-Jitsu as back up. I'm glad RR got beat and definitely knew she would, from the weigh in façade! Amateur and childish from Rousey, whilst Holm studied the situation.

Rousey took herself too seriously and this fight reminded me of 'Rocky III, where 'Clubber Lang' gets his head down and trains, whilst 'Rocky' pranced around in front of an audience for show leading up to the fight. Pure distraction, like Rousey, not focused like Holm.

Will look forward to the re-match.

I still think Ronda would beat her easily, she just needs to leave her idiot coach who keeps telling her she is a world class boxer when she is literally bad amateur standard, if she gets a hold of Holly then its over in seconds.
 
I think this weekend is huge for MMA in Ireland and all of Europe imagine if McGregor wins and beats Aldo it would be huge. Conor has been brilliant in the UFC and no matter what he will make a shit load of money win or lose and I hope and pray to god he wins. I just think Conor by KO is a good chance of happening. I think with Aldo not fighting in over a year he could well have some ring rust and Conor is brimming with confidence so its a real pick em fight. Will Conor go the distance or will he end it early. Dublin will be bouncing this weekend and for the lucky Irish going over they will have a great time.
 
I think it is going to work in McGregor's favour that Aldo has not fought for so long. Conor is a master at using that long reach, so there is no doubt that Aldo's chin is going to be well and truly tested when he comes towards Conor. In addition Conor has the knack of being so unorthodox that he will keep Aldo guessing as to what is going to come next.

This is going to be a fantastic fight, and on this occasion I am going to let my heart rule my head and tip Conor to stop Aldo in the third round.

The co main event is also going to be amazing. I think Rockhold has the skill set to take the title from Weidman.
 
3 nights of fighting.

Beginning tonight with the women, Van Zant v Namajunas.

No idea who will win out of the two.
 
Why in the name of Christ are BT not showing Van Zant v Namajunas?
Its on at 3am and instead they have got tonights TUF repeated which I've already seen.
Whats the fucking point in getting the rights to show all UFC and then show repeats instead of a fucking live event???

Rant aside, some proper close fights over the next 3 days, took me about 5 hrs to complete my UFC pick'em
 
Tonights card is solely on UFC fightpass. No network has the rights to it.

Watching it on a stream.

The fight cards the next 3 nights are an MMA fans dream.
