The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- O’Malley v Vera on NOW

If Werdum wouldn't have pussied out against Overeem his win streak right now would be

He actually probably won that fight against Reem too. Don't know why he was so scared of him doe to begin with
 
Cause Reem was on horse meat back then and knocking dudes out left and right. Plus Werdum's striking was basic then. Idk who has been training him but they improved his striking big time.
 
True. Reem was knockin cans out though, make no mistake about dat

Werdum's striking seemed to be evolving before that fight with Reem though. If I'm not mistaken, it was the fight against Big Foot where he showed a marked improvement in the stand up game
 
His striking was improving then but he probably didn't think it was on par or anywhere near Reem's level back then.

But thinking about it, how did Strikeforce not survive or even crush UFC? They had Reem, Werdum, Fedor, Melendez, Hendo, Rousey, Rockhold, Jacare, Tate, Nick Diaz, etc.

It was always a matter of "when are you heading to the UFC" with most of those names... even the names who had previously been in the UFC

But Strikeforce

Headed to B-Dubs in a few. Enjoy fight night, fellas.

Person I care about most tonight on the card is Jessica Eye. I still believe she can be a serious challenger to Ronda, got somewhat of a raw deal with Kaufman and Lex Davis.
 
I found "if you really wanna impress me" amusing.

But I find predictions in general amusing.
Because this.

Some crystal balls need a polish :lol:
I find fight analysis enjoyable, dissecting the style matchups. I once did it for a living.

I've gone whole main cards correct (on record on NT), and also been awfully wrong with Shogun and "Bendo" recently. It's not for ego, but for entertainment.
 
All good.

I love analysis.

I just don't find predictions and analysis to be one in the same.

And the wording of that prediction I found amusing.

Sadly, I won't know if you were right or wrong on any of this as I won't see any of the fights from the UFC card until I get to the office on Monday.

Not paying for the PPV and not leaving the crib so the best I've likely got tonight is Chandler/Brooks and.....yes....i may just watch Tito/Bonnar.

Agree to disagree, man.

A final prediction is the culmination of an individual's fight analysis. It's like buying your chick a cake and not putting the icing on top. I'm not afraid to be wrong nor do I believe I'm a know-it-all. Far from it.

The wording of that specific prediction was on my belief Lamas hasn't looked good since the Cub fight. He was opportunistic against Koch's slip, and didn't do anything to wow me against Hioki. Aldo and Dias bouts are self-explanatory. That's the one area I believe "Bully" can exploit Bermudez, submission game.
 
Let's go Bermudez.. I like the kid and his set of skills. Pulling for him to make a run

Champ, here we go
