I can't stop thinking about Cerrone slamming those switch kicks upside people's heads. He also has a huge advantage on the ground here. If he does somehow drop Lawler or something you'd expect him to get an opportunity to take the back and sink in that rnc. His blood infection bothers me so still just gonna pass for now. Will keep my eye on things, though.

I can't help but think that Lawler is an awful matchup for cerrone.

His power striking southpaw style coupled with the motivation to win for his mentor Matt Hughes and the 3 round limit likely leading to more aggression, I will say a prayer for cerrone.

lawler has a suspect chin anything can happen in this fight. A lot of people in here talk like lawler is some kind of lock.

IIRC, Maia grabbed ahold of single and Masivdal stumbled trying to escape. Maia immediately took his back.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that Maia has good cardio. My thought is that if this is a grappling heavy contest it's kind of an unknown as to who will gas worse.

Yeah, Maia can be ugly going for td's when he's tired but he always seems to be effective doing it, no matter how bad it looks. Hard to tell how well Twood will deal with him but it should be interesting to see how it plays out, but if Maia finds his way to someone's back it's gonna be really really hard for them to get him off.
 
I flip flopped on 2 pretty strong leans. I was initially on Robbie and Wood. Now I am picking Maia and Cerrone.

I think Cerrone's speed will be too much for Robbie. I expect Donald to kung fu Robbie to the head at some point.
 
Maia and DC both already made weight. 170 and 205 respectively.

Those are two of the toughest fights on the card for me to cap. I don't think I have anything on either of these fights, maybe a fraction of a unit on Maia sub or something. But I do lean with you on the dogs. Then again you guys know I love the doggggs.

Sterling at evens v. Assuncao was definitely justified. That fight was super close and I had Sterling winning. Also I think it's pretty clear that Sterling is improving. Definitely a lot more question marks with Barao.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on Maia/Woodley if you don't mind sharing it.
 
Lawler R3 is 15.0 at Bet365 and Cerrone R3 21.0. Not bad odds for a three round fight? If it does not end earlier Lawler will probably be hunting for a finish in third.

Robbie will always be a wildcard. Sometimes he just doesn't throw and prefers to counter. It's best to get into Cerrone's face early. If Cerrone gets his confidence going, it may be bad news for Lawler. I'm pretty sure Cerrone's losses are always when he starts bad either being finished in the first or losing the first round. If he wins the first, I think Lawler may have a hard time in a 3 round fight.

He lost the first vs alvarez
 
Doing medicals is a beast, and USADA, new to me, 2 week notice, make the best of it, put on a show, I will give him a fight, excited about 2 upcoming shows for my promotion, last event was a sell out, just enjoying the moment, just go out and have fun

What on earth makes you think that Lawler has a suspect chin? Being finished due to strikes twice in 38 fights?
 
This seems like a great card to bet on. Lots of live dogs IMO.
 
Sounds like she regrets signing with the UFC early in her career

I've lived in California for 4 years, came here to train at Reign MMA, now train at RVCA, haven't been with Parillo for long, hard to find MMA gyms out here, I didn't know how inexperienced I was until I was in the UFC, I need to finally get a win, whatever happens, I go with the flow, if I got cut, I'm sure I could fight in another organization

 
It took a while for me to accept the 140 fight, I was having a good training camp, but they were trying to push the fight back, it was unprofessional, so I just took it, alot of things going on in the personal life, life situations and problems I have to take care of, that's why I took it, I feel like this is a title fight, I've learned to release my hands, I didn't want to lose this opportunity, show what I've been working on

 
Seriously is that a line fuck up or something? Had to lay down a ~ a unit on Cowboy sub +1365.
