Haha I'm taking it you saw last weeks McGregor fight, that crowd was a bit much but hes a talent... Rumble is a heck of a competitor. I think Gus wins though.

 

McGregor vs Aldo is gonna be awesome. I wasnt sure of what I was gonna be excited for after the Jones vs Cormier fight (as far as Championship fights go) so getting Aldo vs McGregor is gonna have a nice build up. Excited for Brock (everyone knows hes coming back) to come back and get his *** whooped again by Cain Velazquez. Also excited for Jones vs Gustafsson pt.2 if he wins tonight.

 

For your top part, we are both in agreement, I hated that Boston crowd (maybe because NE won the same night too) and Ben Henderson definitely won that fight over Cowboy, I dont know what was going on with judging either.

I also think Gus has the specific 'tools' needed to beat Jones, he matches Jones in length which just about everyone else in light heavyweight lacks. Gus trys to win on points too, which helps in a fight against Jones. Im excited to see how Ovince St. Preux progresses. He could be a dangerous one.

 

Its cool man, im the overly "fist bumping" type guy anyways... however, im taking sicilia with a rd 3 KO in first fight.

 

Nice rd 1 KO by Sicilia.

 

Im gonna take Davis in split decision in next fight.

 

Idk why Akira fought Sicilias type of fight, made no sense, he should of been more versatile, I think I saw maybe one kick from Akira. I guess he thought he could hit harder.

Lol @ Diaz comment... I have a feeling Silva is gonna destroy him but Diaz is always fun to watch.

 

Idc how pretty Davis' record is...im not sold on the guy..ever... he always seems so timid, scared to let loose.

 

Yea it is, Bader must be scoring well with all the stuffed takedowns till Davis finally got one. I got it as a split, 1st rd to Bader, 2nd to Davis.

 

Wow.. Davis had it won until he got crazy and Bader took advantage for the takedown. I gotta go Bader in scoring, that last takedown might of been the difference.

 

Good Call

 

I got Mousasi winning in split decision.

 

You notice Rogan say "my favorite fight of night" before Davis vs Bader but just said "my favorite fight of year" about Gus vs Rumble lol I like Rogan though, just thought it was funny. A little Jon Gruden-y

 

Well that was quick lol Henderson has to go, he's just not the same guy he once was.

 

Well, here it is, Gus in unanimous decision.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Rogan tore through some coke... he lives the ultimate life! Comedian/UFC announcer/fear factor host... coke is part of the job at this point. Lol

 

Wow!!!!!! Rumble!!!!!

 

Who saw that coming? 1st round ko? Holy ****!!!

 

Rumble is vicious lol im kind of excited to see what he does against Jones.

 

That was nuts!

 

I didn't think Rumble stood a chance but he dominated tonight.

 

I feel bad for Gus, in his hometown... worldstarred lol

 

Yea he was very sloppy but if they land it's gotta hurt, his kicks are mean too even though we only saw one to the head I think. Jon Jones is gonna have his hands full because Rumble attacks. However, its easy to catch a guy who gets as erratic as Rumble does at times.

 

Jon Jones is just the 'complete package'. He's got the size, length, style to where he's virtually unbeatable. Elbows and Knees for days. Rumble is scary though, he doesn't appear to be afraid of anybody and he is on a tear right now.
