UFC 218: Holloway vs. Aldo 2 | Saturday 12.2.2017 (Detroit, Michigan)

Better to be has been then a never was Mr. Aldo. Hang it up. That was ridiculous.

I keep seeing this but the fact of the matter is Holloway is just a special, special fighter. Guy would be champ at 145 for a long time if he wants, he's already cleaned out half the division. McGregor is one of the hardest hitting 145ers ever and a great technical striker.

If Aldo starts losing to Ricardo Lamas or Cub Swanson I'd agree more with him retiring, but the fact that people are comparing him to Silva (today) is insane. He arguably 49-46ed Frankie Edgar not that long ago.

Couldn't agree more. I plan to bet Aldo in his next fight.

Maybe finally a good line to place a bet on dj? Lol

Yeah I put 6.5u on him at (-130)

[Hugo de Naranja]

hmmm didnt even see that.... solid fight though , thatll have some crazy scrambles
that leaves absolutely nobody for Cejudo... id like to see cejudo vs benavidez 2 since i thought Cejudo won the first fight, but if Joe is out with a torn ACL i think itll be best for Cejudo to take a break and improve then fight the winner of DJ/Tj if that happens

i also think DJ will win, TJ depleting his body to 125 will cause a ton of problems... i honestly would be shocked if he could make weight , guy is very jacked for 135lbs losing 10lbs at that light of weight is a lot especially when his BF% is so low already... but well see... DJ has shown he can be taken down which TJ is amazing at doing so he does have some paths to victory still

For sure. I think a high volume of TDs and top control is the way to beat DJ. He was taken down 10+ times in both his career losses.

Nice picks Hugo. You missed that Ngannou hedge by 1 round. Well I picked Reem for the odds as well but Im just glad that he didnt die.
Both of your Reyes hits are sweet. How come you picked sub? That was very juicy!!

Kimball had 6 submission losses on the regional scene. I thought there was a decent chance that he would give up his neck if he was hurt or Reyes got him on the mat.

what did SUB pay:? Kinda what I would figure would happen too....figure it couldn't pay that much....a -500 and its his style...

I'd say his style is kickboxing heavy but he has a ground game as well
