I don't mind Mir at +150. I genuinely feel if he can stand up with Arlovski and tag him a few times as well as figure out his striking patterns, he can stand up with Hunt who is a little predictable with the bombs. He's also got a pretty good chin (he got hit alot by a roided up Reem but stayed in it). And if Frank can take Hunt down which is quite possible particularly later on in the fight then he could definitely get the sub

He's definitely not as chinny as i used to think he was. But I do not trust a mans chin who has been stopped 7 times against Hunt especially after the way Hunt crumpled the uncrumpable Nelson.
 
Ferg has a 12 inch reach advantage over Khabib. Damn i can see him getting sliced up with elbows. Loving Ferg in this fight.
 
Junior Dos Santos vs. Ben Rothwell
Igor Pokrajac vs. Jan Blachowicz
Ruslan Magomedov vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
Nicolas Dalby vs. Bartosz Fabinski
Francis Ngannou vs. Bojan Mihalović

Bojan Veličković vs. Alessio Di Chirico
Filip Pejić vs. Damian Stasiak
Damir Hadžović vs. Mairbek Taisumov
Marcin Tybura vs. Timothy Johnson

^^^UFC Croatia card as of now

I HATE Rothwell vs JDS matchup. Why give JDS arguably the most surging HW in the division? Odds will be interesting, guessing Roth will be unplayable.

Blachowicz likely to be unplayable, Dalby likely unplayable, Ruslan likely unplayable. Smh. Hopefully decent odds on Tybura at least, even though Johnson could potentially wrestle him
 
Also rumors of Yoel Romero replacing Bisping?!

Odds would be interesting if this is true. Call me crazy, but if Anderson is a decent dog, i'll be betting him.
 
Like Blachowicz and Magomedov. His movement will be too much for Gonzaga. Like Taisumov but I have no idea who his opponent is.

Is Romero not awaiting a suspension?

Bisping posted on Twitter three mins ago saying he is feeling great and no injuries.
 
I am not really excited for anything until UFC 196, Feb is kinda ho hum for cards.

Mark Hunt at -175 is a pretty good line right now. I picked him up at -165 and feel that is a steal.

I have a hard time seeing Mir winning this fight. Of course it depends on how they look closer to fight time but Hunt seems to have dialed in his diet and training regime.

Career wise I think Mir is getting really close to hanging them up while I think Hunt can fight a bit longer and tbh could possibly beat Werdum
 
Yeah so rumors were bullshit. Both of them. Bisping is fighting, and Yoel is a dirty cheat who failed both tests.

EDIT also just wanna say.....lmfao @ the guy who makes every thread in the UFC section regarding USADA having a Novitsky avy

I don't get why you don't like jds-rothwell, the fight makes sense to me... Rothwell-overeem woulve made sense, too (aside from it being a rematch) or cain-rothwell rematch

Stipe vs werdum is next, right?

I think JDS vs AA or JDS vs Barnett makes more sense. Its safe to say hes on the downside of his career at this point, and they are throwing him in there with a guy on a 4 fight win streak and who is surging. Would've MUCH preferred those other 2 Big Ben fights you mentioned. Granted, this was suppose to be JDS vs Browne which would've been a fine fight and made sense

Yes Stipe vs Werdum in May
 
Rothwell/JDS seems a little strange to me as well. As a fan I hate the match up because they are maybe my two favorite HWs. That comes secondary to making money however... I favor JDS off the top of my head.
 
completly forgot...

rip frank mir, it has been great!

Yea I was like "Hrmmm" till I remembered it was main event

Magny Lombard should've been 5 rounder instead

You really think Roth odds might be unplayable? To be honest my first thought was JDS will be the fav. Am I way off here?

I honestly cannot see JDS being a favorite here. He looked absolutely HORRIBLE to me in his last fight. I would lay down a big bet on Rothwell at dog odds

Yeah man think you're off. 100 percent Rothwell is going to be the favorite imo, its just by how much. Like JG said, JDS looked horrible against Reem and before that the Stipe fight showed him slowing, and only added to his wear and tear
