#247If I lost every event I wouldn't be betting MMA anymore.. Wrong again Miri.. Your argument posts are lacking substance and fact.. Get with it pal and step up your game.....
If you haven't seen Matt Brown get put down from body shots or rocked late in fights you obviously haven't been watching him fight over the years and probably shouldn't be posting or commenting on the subject...

#248Should be a great fight, but I love getting means at plus money here, he should be the small favorite, brown is the favorite based on name, he is one of my favorites to watch though, expect a nice scrap.Comment -

#249Watching the latest UFC tonight now.. Live interviews...
Chad Mendes says - the reach of Conor McGregor is nothing new to him because every fighter he's ever faced has had the reach on him.. He's learned to fight around that and I believe him.. He'll find a way to get on the inside and then work for the TD...
McIrish is in trouble mates!!!! Hello - here's a solid wrestler that is not rattled by all the crap talk...Comment -

#252easy with parroting the McGregorisms there pal: your guy's like a beaver floating down the canal on his back, with a hard-on shouting to all who'll listen "raise the bridge, raise the bridge"...
not a single one of your guy's scalps (or scalps of any of those scalps) would remotely worry Chad/Frankie on the one hand or Aldo on the other...
great to promote yourself in your own mind and to the world...but ridiculing in any way people like Mendes who've accomplished so much more than you have to date is not confidence...it's just self-obsessed doltism..."pride goeth before the fall" and all that...
"pride" is best reserved for what you've done...not the bullshit new-age oprah-channel way for what we TINK we're gonna do
____________
as for the character of the guy's jock you're riding...it's most revealing that in today's big media do, the only question McSelfObsessed was unable to wax eloquent on was the very last one...about what good he's done/doing to anyone in the world outside of fighting...all of a sudden all his crisp and clear images and words got fuzzy as shit...if "hooray for me" is the only channel on your receiver/transmitter...your life ultimately rings empty
one thing that emerges from all these Embedded episodes is this: Mendes would be a hell of a lot cooler guy to spend an hour with over a brew...another thing is that Chad (just like Frankie and Aldo) are not in the least intimidated...amused, yes...and very very thankful to the guy for greatly magnifying any paydays involved in exchange for enduring the bravado and histrionics
___________
i'm not the only one in the world that would just love to see Chad carefully locate his testes on the forehead of Iced McHorizontal...Comment -

but it I think you need to look up chad mendes's road to the title, IMO Connors resume is better... If you take out the 2 LOSES to aldo.... U say chad/aldo and Frankie wouldn't worry about the guys McGregor has fought, Ofcourse they wouldn't, it's McGregor in the first tier, aldo/Frankie/mendes I'm the 2nf tier and everybody else is a distant 3rd tier, so Ofcourse neither of those guys would worry about any of the rest of the division. Mendes is gonna have a very tough time even getting McGregor to the ground, southpaw with a wide stance that utilizes distance and reach better than anyone in the ufc, and if or when chad gets it down, he has to keep him down, he has shown that he is very inactive on the ground, not much ground n pound, not many sub attempts, no passing of guard. He is gonna have to work very hard for everything he gets and he took this fight on 3 weeks notice, being in fight shape is diffrent than being in shape. Guy has no chance in this fight. Another thing ya'll don't relize,focusing on Connor hasn't fought (a wrestler), chad has only fought grapplers, outside of aldo, he uses his wrestling to beat guys at their weakness, Connor is beating guys at their strength, striking. Connor doesn't pick his opp, the ufc does. The striking advantage is emense in this fight, if your betting mendes your betting on a perseved strength, it's still a unknown for you guys as well, I'm just letting y'all know, it wouldn't be easy for chad to get this to the ground. As Conor said his takedowns and striking is basic and novice, he pushes hard for them and is wreckless. There's no skill or setup to what he does, he's strong and has a heavy overhand, he's benifited from a weak division all around. McGregor will be champion for a long time...Comment -

#255Agree, Conor says he'll be unconscious in the 1st, I believe 2nd or 3rd, and I'm certain we won't see a 4th.Comment -

#272theme/summary for this page on the Brown/Means fight is that it has all the ingredients to be an ultra-nasty violence-fest...as much hand-to-hand pain inflicted in 15-minutes-or-less as many entire cards
lot of objective truths laid out in the arguments above...in the end you have to subjectively weigh the importance of this data (included in this the fact that Brown DOES wince/double over when nailed in the right rib...i wouldn't be surprised that the tough MF'r has been fighting since E.Silva or even before that with a condition much like the UFC-brass was trying to sell us on for Aldo's rib)
interesting that this fight shows up right after Howard-Pendred..not likely a hard act to follow...Comment -

#275Dana White’s panel at the UFC Fan Expo started a little while ago, White said if McGregor beats Mendes, it’s an even bigger fight against Aldo. He said the UFC will spend even more money on promotion. No way am I saying the fix is in, but, Mendes winning hurts the UFC. That statement right there completely sold me on my McGregor play. Im also pretty confident this fight wont last longComment -

#276White: If McGregor wins tomorrow, he’ll get Aldo next in Las Vegas. If McGregor beats Aldo, his first defense will be at Croke Park.
He has all these plans set up for Conor. Chad gets piled Saturday nightComment -

#277^^ Nice in theory but don't think a fight like this is fixed.. Wishful thinking for Dana White is the case with those comments.... If it were fixed I doubt he'd let those comments slip out.. This is the UFC and not the WWE... Chad Mendes wants to win and should do just that..
Conor McGregor's previous fights were not fixed as he was brutally knocking those guys out.. Chad Mendes the same.. Best man wins in this fight...Comment -

#279I have Brown getting the sub.
Means has the weapons to take advantage of Brown's defense but he isn't used to fighting higher profile guys in pressure spots like this. Add this to the obvious pressuring style that Brown brings and to me it seems likely that Means will make the most glaring mistake. I've been more impressed with his potential than his performances which doesn't bode well in this situation. Still, both guys have the ability to finish here in a variety of ways. Great fight.
McGregor/Mendes is too fishy for me to bet. I like McGregor Rd 1 KO but if you asked me a week ago I would've taken Chad all day. Robbie seems like the right play in the WW fight but Rory has too many variables in my eyes for me to accurately read this.
I like Stephens but am taking the under rather than straight play. I think it's more likely for Bermudez to finish Stephens than for Stephens to decision Bermudez. If he gets off, Bermudez goes down. Stephens is getting up there in fights and the Yves KO, although it proved less foreshadowing than I originally thought, is in the back of my mind when breaking down Lil' Heathen.
Cathal Pendred and John Howard will be scored a draw. If I had access to this prop I would likely throw a flier.
Garcia should knock Swick out rather quickly but wouldn't touch those odds. The under 1.5 for a tiny play instead. Swick tends to be a finisher when he does show up healthy and fight ready. Also a chance Garcia gasses after 1 and Swick lands a combo or gets a sub.
Biggest play for me is Gunnar. I'm not one who's been on his hypetrain before and am not now, but I do believe that he has a big advantage here. Although his striking is highly overrated, in my opinion, Gunnar shows a solid level of consistency and mental stability to go along with the skill set needed to take advantage of Thatch's weaknesses, his grappling and his mentality. Also, I believe that the previous opponents (Howard/Hathaway) styles and the adjustments needed heading into this match favor Gunnar mentally and technically as well. And, last, and yes I am aware that this is pure speculation, but I believe that Gunnar's loss to Rick Story will have less impact on his confidence than the Benson Henderson loss will for Thatch even though Bendo is obviously the better and more accomplished fighter.
Don't have a good read on Almeida yet but making a small play on Pickett out of general principle.Comment -
