UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Thompson (June 18, 2016)

[JIBBBY]

^^^Cote KO prop (chin or body) does have decent value..

I hedged with it myself against the Cowboy straight.... I do think Cowboy has a slight speed and striking advantage with his kicks and I really don't think it's likely Cote wins this fight by decision.. Gotta consider Cote's last 2 decision losses were to Wonderboy and Cung Le.. Both kickers like Cowboy...

[PaperTrail07]

IMO Cowboy fights best when he is the bigger/stronger person and walks forward ---this will be tough for him....

[JIBBBY]

Cowboy may just chop down the legs of Cote, bust up that surgically repaired knee of his.. I'm afraid Cote isn't gonna have an answer for this below if the fight drags on... Cowboy has quick deadly kicks.. UP or DOWN..

Becareful betting on Cote people.. Cowboy fairs well in non title fights as well..




Made Eddie quit...



Made Melvin do the drunken dance..

[UncleChael]

I think Cowboy is going to fukk him up.

Yep I got that feeling too UNC....

That's why the bulk of my money is on Cowboy straight and a sprinkle with this little parlay below... Did hedge a bunch with the Cote KO prop though just in case....

I'm not confident that Cowboy will KO Cote. I think if he gets a finish it will likely be a submission. Cote's only KO/TKO loss was a knee injury against Anderson Silva. Most of Cowboy's wins come by submission and Cote has 3 submission losses.

If Côte doesn't KO him he wins the Decision... Côte is a black belt and has a great chin and KO power in his hands. Only way Cowboy wins is if he lands a clean head kick.

^^ Maybe you guys are right, Patrick Cote is on a winning streak and looked damn good in recent fights.. A manly fighter that is tough as shiit is Cote.... Knocked out Josh Burkman which is not easy to do.. Certainly has a hard head and chin.. Fighting in Canada also and should bring it.....http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Patrick-Cote-6612

Still I think if Cowboy can stand with Patrick and begin to chop his legs.. After a few rounds that knee will buckle just like Cowboy did to Eddie Alverez.. If Cowboy doesn't get caught early on and lasts I think Cote starts looking to protect his legs and that's when Cowboy can land the head kick and end the fight.. Deliver a head kick KO just like he did to John Makdessi a year ago..

If Cowboy fights smart he could get Cote to quit with a leg injury.. I can see that happening.. He does train out of Jackson Wink and I'm sure he'll implement those leg kicks in the fight plan..

Patrick Cote has weak joints to begin with and fights a bit flat footed.. He could fold like a cheap suit in the 2nd or 3rd round if that knee gets worked over early.. Referee stoppage by KO it should be or head kick KO..

I'm still waiting for those round props to come out... May still throw some change on 2nd and 3rd round finish for Cowboy..

- 3 round fight.. Judges may have no reservations against screwing Cerrone out of a decision, or Cote may just earn it... There were talks on MMA Meltdown on Fight Network about Cerrone out drinking and fishing and shit with his buddies (which, admittedly, seems par for his course) but still... matchmaking in UFC is solid and Cote is definitely able to grind out a dirty decision.. I think I'll stay away from this one, period. Draw?

I think soto is shot. Too many blows to head. That dillashaw fight he took alot damage.

Let's FUKKING go RORY MAC.

JIBBERS....Cote dosent get punked around the octagon with leg kicks....wont happen....he is tough and fighting smart and well at the moment IMO.....cowboy usually loses to stronger fighters

MacDonald wins by TKO/KO

nice call paper, ill prob throw something small on that as well, 5 round fight i could definitely see him getting a stoppage
we havent seen wonderboy go through a tough war yet and rory is the one guy who can bring it out ,well see if he can handle the fire
+533 is great odds if youre backing rory


regarding other 2, the mcrory one scares me because he could sub or decision him as well
and alvey im not to impressed with , but if youre on alvey already his likely chance of winnings is tko/ko so id definitiely take that instead of alvey straight moneyline

[PaperTrail07]

For sure....Alvey has the KO power....he is not the best fighter but If he wins-I see it going down like that....Odds are there..Was thinking the same with Rory....if he takes all Thompson can throw---he could eventually wear him down into a TKO....

So do you guys think Wonderboy's obliteration of Big Rigg was more of a fade of Hendricks and his camp change than it was the statement/ coming out party for wonderboy ?

Also regarding Rory, he took quite the beating the last time out, could that war have degraded him physically / mentally enough to change him as a fighter or cause him to lose a step?

Wonderboy definitely has less miles on him. Rory has also had over a year off..

Idk I'm back and forth on this fight .. Ty$ has been on fire lately .. Hard to pick against him right now but I'm leaning on Wonderbread. I don't see Rory taking him down if hendricks couldnt but then again he didn't really get going that fight ...

Probably a combination of both, Wonderboy peeking and JH fading a bit.. Really a bad stylistic match up standing in that fight for Johnny though in all reality....

Cowboy and Wonderboy for the win fellas!!!.. Lock and load and you heard in here first, ooops I mean last.... Done deal chalk it up anyways!!!

This is ain't Canada day sorry fellas!!!...I do like Rory and Patrick though as fighters and people but I just don't think they can win in these match ups....

Wonderboy is the definition of the gentleman bad ass, Donald Cowboy just kicks ass and takes numbers literally.. Both top of the food chain fighters in the UFC... Rory and Cote not so much.. Rory Mac is pretty solid though I can't lie..

Stick to the Hockey my north of border friends!!! Gotta back your Countrymen though I understand...

[Bert102]

Cote it'd tko body shots calling it now. That's the blueprint to beating cerrone.

[blumpkin]

I like Saggo as Silva goes through periods of inactivity on the feet. Should be a close, competitive fight. Anybody agree Saggo just a bit better. Also saw the line come down to -140, hope it keeps going down.

[lokihayze]

Wonderboy has also lost Weidman this camp as he's out needing surgery.
Obviously that's going to have some type of effect on his wrestling.

yup, another reason i was high on rory .. good eye

[Deceptakhan]

mentally, i think Rory has more weight on his shoulders, expecting a lil girl in a couple weeks, hasnt faught in a year, Bellator is just waiting to throw a big number at him, wonderboy has his sights on the belt, gonna be a great fight, i really dig both these guys
