mrcat1990 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Decent looking card if a bit predictable, don't see many upsets across the card tbh. eta: Nelson aside, who is the outsider for some reason. Can't see Overeem's jaw holding against him if he bangs him early. MMA eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 First time in a long while that Overroids hasn't looked like a lumbering joke bereft of self-belief. Very impressive strategy and execution (that includes the running away bits), great to see him properly utilise his kicking advantage for once. The crowd can fcuk off. Carla embarrassed by the Pole, too good a striker, too good a takedown defence, and too strong. Kinda scary as even off that one performance it's hard to see how anyone around can beat that combination. She'd destroy Calderwood imo. JDA is a beast, really impressive stuff, though couldn't find a finish. Pettis will be back. Hendricks did well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 As long as Aldo and McGregor stay injury free I'm alright with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have to say I reckon Aldo is winning the battle of the media tour. McGregor breaking out his usual patter there hasn't been s single f**k given by Aldo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I have to say I reckon Aldo is winning the battle of the media tour. McGregor breaking out his usual patter there hasn't been s single f**k given by Aldo. Totally agree... until yesterday. Asking for McGregor to be drug tested every week - https://twitter.com/ufc_brasil/status/580473445638639618 Reacting to McGregor posing with the belt before an interview - https://instagram.com/p/0oTm8kJJa_/ Showing signs of rattlement in the interview - I think he's seen the size of McGregor in their staredown/tour, has had to deal with days of McGregor motormouthing on the barely half-complete tour, and is getting just slightly twitchy. Conor is starting to get to him imo. Edited March 25, 2015 by banana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieCon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm a massive fan of Conor however a small part of me would like to see Aldo smash him. I see that Stevie Ray has signed for the UFC and will make his debut on the Krakow card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Just to follow on from last post, yeah my mate Steven Ray has finally got the call he's been waiting on and signed a 4 fight contract with the UFC. Off to Krakow to fight after the original opponent pulled out dude TJ injury. So chuffed for him all his hard work and dedication has finally paid off. Hopefully he can go there and do himself proud and then maybe get a slot on the Glasgow card!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Can't say I'm surprised. He's the best fighter in the country by a mile and was balls that Whiteford got the shout before him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeNewcomer Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Can't say I'm surprised. He's the best fighter in the country by a mile and was balls that Whiteford got the shout before him. Whiteford will need to get that fuckin accent sorted. Half american half scottish one of the strangest things I have ever heard. Wish Rabbie boy all the best though. McGregor is the future. No one moves as well as him in that division. Everyone knows how good aldo is but he hasn't evolved much at all and has taken a lot of damage in his last few fights. It all adds up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Edgar moves easily as well as McGregor in the F/W division. At least they're both better than Edson Barboza though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Whiteford but he doesn't seem like a future contender to me whereas Ray has been lording it up at Cage Warriors for some time. Excited to see how he gets on. Bookie odds are fairly short for a McGregor win and a McGregor ko. He'll look a tad silly if he makes a cock of it but I reckon it's going to be close. I'd be interested to see how'd he fare against Mendes though as that seems the trickier fight for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Nightmare for Jojo. Something wasn't right with her. She almost seened to give up the arm and then didn't even defend it. It was as though she didn't want to be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Nightmare for Jojo. Something wasn't right with her. She almost seened to give up the arm and then didn't even defend it. It was as though she didn't want to be there. Appears her and Doolan have split in the past month or so. Imagine that may of affected her mentally? Either way she didn't look all there. An utterly dull card. I'm not a big fan of these constant Fight Nights, however tonight was poor in comparison to last weeks. Not one fight really shone. On the upside Stevie Ray won rather convincingly on a short notice fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Holy f**k, brutal finish from Cro Cop and didn't think he had the energy in him after a very poor first two rounds. Still, was watching the first two rounds through my fingers he was that inactive. Jojo hasn't impressed at all during and since the UF, I think she's going to plummet down the list unless she can up her game starting with her next fight. Eats far too many shots and doesn't seem to be able to impose herself. The massive underdog and unranked Polish girl looked more sprightly, with harder, quicker and more accurate striking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
