UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Brunson (October 28, 2017)

[PaperTrail07]

Yeah actually showed a good IQ IMO...

I disagree. I think he stayed off of Maia for most of R3 for fear of getting pulled into the grappling like Masvidal did. Covington will finish some top 10 WWs in 5-round fights with volume GnP or subs like he did to Wang, Meunier, Griffin etc.

[Hugo de Naranja]

he actually got pretty deep on some of those single legs but covingtons hips were to strong ... colbys striking didnt look to impressive though imo, he has a lot of defensive flaws and if twood doesnt get gassed i think he gets starched.. smart marketing by covington starting all that shit because rankings wise im not sure he deserves the scrap , itll come down to if masvidal beats wonderboy imo.. if he wins by a ko or something exciting masvidal vs twood if not i think theyll go covington vs t wood

Isn't Masvidal coming off a loss though? I think Woodley fights winner of Lawler/RDA.

I liked Covington until that.

I like him even more because of that. Be real.

That's a good point. Might have had too much respect to put him out there.

[PaperTrail07]

[KingHawkins]

[jonal]

[Hugo de Naranja]

Booooommmmmmmmmmm!

[KingHawkins]

one hitter quitter

[turbozed]

Wow. Brunson starched Machida there.

Should've hit that Rd1 prop with you Hugo

[Hugo de Naranja]

That was huge for me. Thank you Brunson. Late stoppage too imo. Machida was eating shots out cold

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

that was quick...

[JIBBBY]

An early Brunson finish would be huge for me here

Thank you Hugo. Saved me tonight.. All you...

I would have lost my ass if I didn't grab this for insurance. Not happy but will limp away with this event with a very small win..

$100.00

$300.00

You da man

[Hugo de Naranja]

Thank you Hugo. Saved me tonight.. All you...

Glad we were both on that Brunson R1

[PaperTrail07]

seems like they let the big names eat an extra few most of the time...that was huge for me chased early losses...

Isn't Masvidal coming off a loss though? I think Woodley fights winner of Lawler/RDA.

ufc seems to be really pushing masvidal , especially if he finishes wonderboy i really think hell be top priority imo...
if not RDA if he wins i could see getting it as well.... so covington will them both to lose for that shot... really couldnt see wonderboy or lawler getting that shot imo but who knows with the UFC these days ??

i think woodleys hardest fight out of all those 3 RDA, Covington, Masivdal would be masvidal because hes so durable and well rounded.... i could see that being a very tough fight

[UncleChael]

Machida coming out to the Game Of Thrones tone.. This guys gonna get whuuped

Lol

[firekillex]

ref needs to step in quicker on that .... took 1-2 extra unneeded shots

brunson a beast though once he has you hurt its over

185 i need to see rockhold vs whittaker though thats my dream matchup 2 best guys imo

[turbozed]

I was tellin ya bud! Haha. At least we both grabbed the Under there

And it looks like we had a winning event too (as well as a lot of the other guys here) so cheers to that!

[Hugo de Naranja]

My guesses for FOTN/POTN.

FOTN: Zaleski Dos Santos+Griffin
POTN1: Brunson
POTN2: Luque

[JIBBBY]

Damn Brunson really slept Machida.. Out cold on the replay...

Another guy that should probably retire.. He heads to Bellator he faces Rory Mac and gets worked again.. Machida hang em up, chin is shot..

Young mans sport.. Crowd got silent in the end there ... Poor Brazil...

[firekillex]

hmmmm good call out by brunson...

if he rushes rockhold he could clip him and get that finish... maybe he watched david branch have some success and likes his chances

i like that callout by brunson... not sure rockhold will entertain it though

I think Brunson is actually a tough matchup for Rockhold. 100% TDD and big power.

[JIBBBY]

Glad we were both on that Brunson R1

All you Hugo, I just had it as insurance only.. You had some nice hits tonight congrats buddy!!!! I'm impressed...

On a side noted - Go Dodgers!!!

Masvidal is fighting Stephen Thompson on november 4th.

If he finishes Thompson he could have a chance?

[JIBBBY]

If Brunson can connect early with anyone he can get the knock out.. ^^^^ Luke Rockhold or anyone...

Dude hits hard..

[firekillex]

I think Brunson is actually a tough matchup for Rockhold. 100% TDD and big power.

yup agreed... i highly doubt rockhold takes a fight with him though... another tough stylistic matchup and hes not even top 5 ranked

rockhold probably wants a title fight or at very worst an interm/ number 1 contender matchup

rockhold is more well rounded then brunson for sure but brunsons style would be extremely dangerous for rockhold if i was his team i wouldnt take this fight right now, could easily lose and if he wins he doesnt really move anywhere in the ranks...... sucks brunson got robbbed by those judges against anderson or his record would look even better right now

Thanks man. Picks weren't great at 7-5 but I had some good prop hits to finish with a solid winning night.

Dana said winner of RDA/Lawler would face TWood...not that his word is gold
