Any chance Cowboy finishes Masvidal here? He does have a bunch of finishes in a row against durable guys. Also, Ngannou will be fighting Arlovski on this card.

No Masvidal never gets rocked or hit clean in fights..Masvidal is almost impossible to finish.. Very durable and or slick defensive fighter..

Doubt Cowboy gets the finish.. He could out stike Masvidal on the cards maybe with kicks and maybe by mixing in a few timely take downs perhaps..

Hard to call that fight..

If you ask me I'm kinda leaning on the KO maybe by Masvidal actually.. Masvidal is a slick boxer and could connect as Cowboy fights erect and with his chin up.. We've seen Cowboy get rocked a bit in fights, on the flip I don't think we've ever seen Masvidal get rocked in a fight..

So if I had to guess it would probably be Cowboy by Decision and or Masvidal by KO (ITD)

Oh and AA gets clobbered by Francis Ngannoa.. That's one scary black dude, Arlovski should fold quickly in that one would think.....

What? Masvidal at least in his first fight in the ufc was rocked really bad, right on his ass. Not even once, i think like 3 times. This is probably one of your worst posts all time.

Even Chiesa dropped Masvidal and he never KO'es anyone.

Looks like me and BJ are riding this moneytrain until Cowboy gets a title-shot. Then we fade.

Yeah, welterweight cerrone has earned me some money. And its so easy.

Definitely agree on Ngannou though. Hopefully Vegas sees it as a big step up even though this version of Arlovski isn't much better than Anthony Hamilton imo.

Calm down BJ... Just shooting off the top of my head..

First fight, I don't even remember it?.. How many years ago was that? All I know is Masvidal has fought some heavy hitters in the UFC and never got KO'd.. Guys like Larkin etc... Masvidal has a chin and good defense..

Bottom line is Masvidal has never been put out cold... Undersized Cowboy most likely won't be the first to put Masvidal out cold..

Likely the best fight on that card. Wish it was the main event.

His chin is very good. Its like the old Tibaus who could get hit and recover within 3 sec, and be totally fine.

Poirier vs. Miller added to UFC 208. I already bought tickets for this event and am glad I did. Dustin is one of my favorite fighters and a super nice dude. Had a chance to chat with him at Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez and he was very friendly.

assuming jim miller? he should starch him imo

agreed on cerrone as well , masvidal is basically a 55er bulking up to 70 , cerrone is legitamately a 70er hes 6 feet tall and not small at all hes basically the same size as carlos condit... masvidal is a skilled fighter for sure but hes beat 0 elite guys in his career , hes basically a perfect gatekeeper imo , while cerrone is an elite top 5 talent ... i think his leg kicks and distance will win him this fight and he could definitely get the finish later rounds here but id lean decision more

arlovski vs ngannou is a super exciting fight, people are really high on francis but he also has beat nobody good and a lot of people are sleeping on arlovski here imo , yes hes lost 3 in a row but losing to stipe the champion, overeem the last title contender and josh barnett a long time top 10 talent is a far cry from francis ngannou... he could be a real good talent and has impressed in his run so far but arlovski could still have some left in the tank and his boxing is extremely skilled i could easily see him tagging ngannou and getting a finish imo, if hes at dog money ill probably take a stab at it


they also announced derrick lewis vs travis browne that should be a super exciting fight , i think browne could be a top 5 talent easily at heavyweight but with the worst coach in the entire game its hindering his ability big time and hes dating ronda so i doubt he leaves the coach which really sucks from him, his chin is super good so if he can survive the black beasts first shots i could see him getting the win here, imo black beast is pretty overrated but fun to watch so i like him and his




any thoughts on chael sonnen -150 over tito i had an injury ortiz ??

Any guess what the line opens on Ngannou/Arlovski? I'm pretty sure you'll get Arlovski as a dog.

I think Browne is overrated but Lewis' best skill is ground and pound and he's not good at getting the fight to the ground.

I lean Chael here but haven't done much to cap this fight yet.

- John Ramdeen and Robin Black discuss the tactics of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson ahead of their rumored match-up at UFC 209. Will Nurmagomedov's wrestling prevail or will Ferguson catch him with Eddie Bravo's BJJ system?

assuming ngannou will be the favorite coming in with all the hype and arlovski lossing his past few by stoppage... if arlovski is anything +130 or more ill be on him imo..

browne has a ton of skills but hes stalled in his progress ive seen him gain nothing the past few years with edmond the worst cornering job ive ever seen in an mma fight tbh, love lewis in interviews hes a hilarious guy but this fight isnt a great style matchup for him especially when browne is basically fighting for his career.. Lewis hasnt passed any test yet against the big hitters ( shawn jordan, matt mitrione )


and im leaning chael as well, tito will have the definite size advantage this will come down to who can get the takedowns imo , i just like chaels cardio and titos wear and tear scares me i think -150 could be a solid price or most likely take the decision prop here maybe get some + odds

Agree don't , garbrandt tryna act far to tough on tv interview tonight I didn't like that, Cruz way to intelligent for him he's gonna outclass him here garbrandts only chance is landing a Hail Mary overhand

Agree don't? Cruz about to wrestle the shit out of him and make him miss. Might even finish him (probably UD though)

[firekillex]

On iPad no clue where the dont came from lol
but ya Cruz will outpoint him and frustrate him all fight he'll definitely get some takedowns when Cody rushes in I don't see him holding him down long but the points and frustration will build and I could see him finishing him late possibly tagging him and getting a submission

I don't see Cruz as much of a submission threat and generally TAM guys have good sub defense.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Interesting movement on Cruz/Garbrandt props. Cruz Decision back to even money, Garbrandt Decision drops from (+968) to (+543).

[PaperTrail07]

I saw that --big moves...
