POLL: Yves Edwards vs Cody McKenzie (UFN 23)

[NickBaragona]

I don't see how Yves loses this fight. Cody's guillotine wont work against an experienced veteran.

[RollPlayer]

Cody via brutal ko. But seriously I'm all over Edwards in this one

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Do we really need a poll thread for every fight on a Fight Night card

[JediMind87]

I think Yves is experienced + smart enough and will avoid the guillotine and will wisely keep the fight standing.McKenzie's standup is awful. I think Yves could hang with him on the ground too.I see Yves outboxing McKenzie en route to a unanimous decision.

[Poppa Catfish]

It is physically impossible to avoid the McKanzitine. MMA jesus will prevail.

[sirchadwick1]

I don't like betting on this one at the current line. Yves is a longtime vet and a pretty smart fighter... however, he is coming off the tail-end of his career and even lost to Mike Campbell ( a fight he should have taken ). It's hard for me to trust him at this point against a young hungry guy like McKenzie... even if he's a 1-trick pony. These TUF guys tend to surprise us after the show. Yeah I know Cody looked slow, weak, and gassed early against Phan. But if his cardio is up to par in this fight he could grind it out.... doubt he'll get the sub, as Yves has only been subbed twice early in his career.

[NickBaragona]

Sorry for all the polls, just thought they were interesting. I put 10 units on Yves, hopefully he doesn't let me down.

[illmatick]

nothing wrong with the polls imo Nick, keep doing your thing....anything to provoke discussion is ok in my book.

[Vaughany]

Yeah as long as the poll isnt for "Who is the biggest Can?" then it's all good in the SBR hood.

[ttrace35]

Bisping=BigCan

[NickBaragona]

Yeah, jorge rivera just might be a play against bisping. I try to remain unbiased, just can't seem to root for bisping.

[Vaughany]

Bisping=BigCan

But he beat Pride legend Dennis Cang?

Dennis kang is no pride legend. Not even a little. I can run off a long list of Pride legends. Kang is not one.
Biggest Can=anyone from tuf.

Is Lil Nog a Pride Legend in ur view Trace? Shogun? Gomi maybe? Rampage?

[ttrace35]

Wanderlei
Rampage
CroCop
Shogun
Gomi was toward the end.

[urge2kill]

How can you not list Big Nog as a Pride legend?

[Vaughany]

So 3 out of those 5 u've just listed have lost to TUF "biggest cans" then. Hmmmm

People get older and slow down. These guys would not have have lost to tuf alumns in their prime. But there is no way to argue that. CroCop and Fedor were always overrated IMO and could lose any night. Wanderlei and Rampage were beasts. I'm not wasting my time comparing them to Bisping and Forresst. Shogun was always like wanderlei's little brother. I watched him grow up and now he is in his prime. Shoguns big bro Ninja is a punching bag.

You right. Big nog is a pride legend. So is Fedor. I'm jusT not a big fan of either.

[urge2kill]

Shoguns big bro Ninja is a punching bag.

Look at that, we agree on something.

[Shane]

Pulling hard for another McKenzie miracle, but I don't expect it.

[snake11eyes]

I'll take a shot on Cody by sub if they do props for this fight and I can get +400 or better.

[NickBaragona]

Its on the prelims, I don't think any Sportsbooks do props for prelim fights?

[bogbat]

I don't mind the polls but I don't think the results are worth much as most people will just vote on the favorite.

I think Yves takes this but I wouldn't feel confident betting 10 units, especially at those odds.

[Varker]

odds kinda suck, but I like Yves here.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Dennis kang is no pride legend. Not even a little. I can run off a long list of Pride legends. Kang is not one.
Biggest Can=anyone from tuf.

Kang is in the top 3 Pride Welterweights (UFC MiddleWeight) easily. He had one split decision loss in Pride (Grand Prix Final). The other two would be Dan Henderson and Paulo Filho

Maybe so. But he still isn't a pride legend.

rashad
kenflo
maynard

Top 5 fighters??? Are you high on CRACK? Top 5 UFC fighters maybe? If you think any of these guys are top 5 in the world, you need to get out more.

[Poppa Catfish]

Top 5 in their weight classes to be sure. Don't worry bro, we all recognize your chick as the true #1 super heavyweight.

C,mon poppa. You been running this same joke for a while now. If your gonna be a joker, come up with some new material at least. Jeeeeeez.

[urge2kill]

I guess I need to get out more to buy more crack cause I think Maynard and Rashad are definitely top 5 in world at their weight.
