looking forward to next weekends event, i think we can all agree that its not the main event we'l be tuning in for!

cainer · 25 Feb 2017 at 09:47

i got TF beating KN, worth a punt on that

DeanT77 · 25 Feb 2017 at 11:16

Some solid fights on that card!

Kris_90 · 25 Feb 2017 at 11:33

The main card looks very good. I don't agree with the UFC automatically putting a championship bout as the main event (unless it's Conor). IMO Tony vs Khabib is by far the biggest fight on the card.

yep, id also rather watch Overeem V's Hunt instead of the main event

its a stacked card alright, hope Wonderboy destroys Woodley this time, Khabib is hungry and i can see him mauling TF and finishing with a sub.

nah mate, TF's got this one, pile your cash on him..

McBain · 25 Feb 2017 at 14:22

Khabib dominates Ferguson with ease, unless he gets caught in a silly sub I don't see how he loses.

Hope Wonderboy smashes Tyron 'race card' Woodley as well.

RobDogDog · 25 Feb 2017 at 22:05

Overeem vs Hunt has knockout written all over it.

If Ferguson can keep Khabib off him I think he's got a decent chance.

Kris_90 · 26 Feb 2017 at 09:28

Ferguson has got the best chance of anyone at 155 to beat Khabib. TF has ridiculous cardio, unconventional striking and awesome BJJ. He wins the fight on the feet and has a good chance to submit Khabib. If the fight goes past round 3, it's Tony's to lose IMO.

GSP returns to fight Bisping then.

This is a joke for so many reasons. GSP didn't seem stoked about a return until Bisping got a belt. Weird, that. Avoided MW for years when Silva was on top.

The_One · 1 Mar 2017 at 20:50

GSP is probably too old to make welterweight again makes sense for him to fight at middle imo

romero must be pretty damn peed off right now though

Good to see bisping finally get a big money payday

reiyushin · 2 Mar 2017 at 08:22

UFC offered him a ton of money I'd imagine. Conor was too much of a draw, he had too much leverage and the UFC played this well.

If GSP takes the belt then we can expect a "superfight" for the WW belt.

Sucks for Yoel and probably sucks for Maia.

The IPB · 2 Mar 2017 at 09:35

The new owners paid too much for the UFC and have to make the big fights.

We can complain about it all we want, but people will watch it, I know I will.

I actually think Bisping is a bit of a handful for GSP, he has good wrestling, good standup, cardio for days and will be bigger than Georges. It's an intersting fight.

Indeed, Overeem needs to hide his chin from a walk-away knockout by Hunt.
Having watched the Johnson - Khabib fight again, Khabib was caught early by the long punches of Johnson and didn't really know how to deal with them on his feet. If Ferguson can keep the distance then he could get the KO. He also has a decent chance on the ground of course.

The IPB · 2 Mar 2017 at 14:32

I see him beating him the same way he did previously, Overeem has a very good ground game and I see him submitting Hunt (again)

Nope!

Bisping is going to dwarf GSP. I can't see anyway in which GSP can win this fight but will be prepared to eat humble pie.

Bisping hung in there with Sonnen trying to out wrestle him, the only guy to successfully out grapple Bisping was Tim Kennedy who was a huge middleweight, not a blown up welterweight.

The IPB · 2 Mar 2017 at 15:38

How amazing would it be if he won the MW belt, won the WW belt and won the LW belt.

Just to one up Conor, then went off chasing aliens again

PermaChanged · 2 Mar 2017 at 15:50

I found this article quite interesting too, apparently GSP has out wrestled Bisping in the past by Bispings own admission.
