Future Fights Thread

Glad to hear it.

you going to be on Diaz as well??
im just hoping Pettis doesnt leg kick and run the whole fight, but i think Diaz will just hunt him down for 3 rounds and swarm him maybe get a late finish just by sheer pressure and volume to make him wilt

Yessir. Don't rate Pettis highly

Betting against Romero and Moicano....hmm...Like, moicano wins against everyone except aldo, so he probably will be able to negate everything Zombie does. Even Kattar, which is very sound technical, moicano just stayed on the outside and chopped his leg down. Super smart gameplan. Identified the problem, and found a solution. Hes a thinker. Hes not only skills. Really really bad bet if you ask me. These are the kind of fighters YOU DONT bet against.

Betting against Romero...youre on your own cowboy haha, dont agree with that.

Couldn't agree more. Big on Moicano here.

-130 its just laughable who sets these lines?? I hammered that line down from -130 almost down to -200.

Hearing rumours Conor was supposed to fight Pettis next with Gaethje on standby if Pettis pulled out.

Then Conor injured his hand and now supposedly pencilled in to fight winner of Diaz vs Pettis.

Not hugely interested in Conor vs Nate trilogy fight. Can't help feeling either Pettis or Gaethje would be far more entertaining fights.

I predict all four will loose. So far 0-1. You can still buy out...

Agreed. We've already seen McGregor vs. Diaz twice. Both fights were good but I'm more interested in seeing new matchups for Conor.

[jacharron17]

For more dogs, I like Jussier Formiga at +155 and Dos Santos at +220 even though he should lose to N'Gannou. I just see value on Dos Santos. I have it 55/45 Formiga and 60/40 for N'Gannou.

...Big on Moicano here.

What was I thinking?

[povis]

zabit magomedsharipov vs brian ortega is still no official, but +160 on ortega seems very good price

Covington vs. Lawler announced for UFC Newark. Who y'all got in that one?

wonder if anybody will get this , now i actually wanna no lmao, unless its fighters who arent fighting in the ufc anymore then that changes everything

[Hugo de Naranja]

No correct answers yet. To Fire's point, it is someone who is still on the UFC roster and has a fight booked.

think that may be it... youre not a pro , no clue why youd do any contest for points though lmao

Sorry, brother, never occurred to me that the points would be wasted if I won. Was just trying to see if I could figure out the answer. My bad.

Hugo, if my answer is correct, hold on to the points as I can't use them anyway. Or maybe send them firekillex's way as he'd have figured it out.

Apologies, firekillex.

oh nah man i wasnt hating or anything hahah . thanks for the kind gesture though
i actually wanted to know the answer as well, i actually think you are correct goodjob

was just stating point contests for non pros is kinda pointless.... you should definitely go PRO though tons of good contests and prizes all the time buddy

Thanks, brother, absolutely see where you're coming from. Realised too late that the points would actually be useful to a PRO, sometimes I see/hear the word 'contest' and just want to win. Something I gotta work on.

In all fairness, Hugo, if the answer is correct, it wouldn't feel right to take the points as I really can't use them. Any chance you could roll them over and ask another question? I promise I'll stay out of it this time.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Eric Koch?

That is correct! Per your request I'll hold on to the points and perhaps roll them over to a later question.

That was a tough one. How'd you figure it out Baraldsson?

Must admit there was a fair bit of trial and error involved. Once you said he/she had a fight booked I was able to narrow down my search significantly. Not sure if SBR allows mention of specific websites but I used a very well-known online encyclopaedia to see who had fights booked and then ruled out anyone with positive UFC records or a ton of fights.

Great question, had me stumped for ages!

Covington vs. Lawler announced for UFC Newark. Who y'all got in that one?

I'd love if Lawler won as I can't stand Covington, but I think probably Colby. Any leans, Hugo?

Think Covington probably outwrestles him but would prefer if Lawler KOed him.

Is Max Holloway vs Frankie Edgar a cakewalk for Holloway? I think because Edgar is such a tough guy, that I may go with Holloway by decision.

Don't think it's a cakewalk at all. Holloway has really feasted on strikers in the past few years and hasn't had to deal with too much wrestling. I think Frankie will bring that to the table more than other recent Holloway opponents.

Thanks for the insight Hugo! Looking forward to this war.

Vicente Luque vs. Mike Perry announced for the UFC Montevideo Co-Main Event. That fight will be awesome!

Lineker cut from the UFC..... wtf?

I think he may have requested his release and they granted it
