The MMA thread

Buzzing after that Barnett fight. Not sure what it means in the grand scheme, but he gave Mir a swifter battering than either Cormier or dos Santos managed! Certainly makes the anti-Fedor brigade look even more ridiculous...Barnett comes back to UFC after an 11 year hiatus and absolutely pummels a top 5-10 heavyweight.
 
How about if Dana actually did what Pettis said and made Aldo vs Pettis? Honestly can't call that one.

I'm wondering how it would even work? Who goes up or down in weight? They could do a catchweight of 150lb but doesn't really make sense now that they're both champions. Pettis was set up to fight him before but now he's the Lightweight champion so I dunno. Needs to happen though.
 
Well done Pettis. Weird ending there. Wondered Wtf had happened at first. Goldberg was way too slow with the "And.. It.. Is.. All.. Over!!"

That spaz out from Rothwell is brilliant.
 
Pettis's (Pettis' ?) knee popped in the fight ffs. Hopefully not too serious.

Pettis' would be more conventional and looks better. Probably won't get pulled up on Pettis's though.

Anyway, finally caught up with it all. Annoyed with the Mir fight. He might have gone within seconds, but the ref should give him that chance. Poirier and Rothwell fights were excellent. Had Rothwell.

Need to tot these up tonight.

86 points this time, decent.

How do you multiply Pettisesseseeszesesse? Petti?

Pettises.
 
So many unknown fighters on this next card. Can't wait to see Glover fight again, and Jacare.
Yeah, even fecking Ronaldo is fighting. Hope he doesn't get injured, the mad fecker.

I only know about 5 guys from this whole card aswell.
 
The MMA thread is my happy place. Anyway, put £20 on Glover to win by sub. Okami is the underdog at 15/8, which is surely worth a punt. Although he's fighting a Brazilian in Brazil. But he is just amazing at stifling people.

Put another tenner on Glover, Benevidez and Okami all to win, gives you £42 back. If Glover manages to submit Bader, I'll get £80 back on that as well.
 
For the fantasy league do you just transfer your fighters out every time for an entire new set of 8? That's what I've done anyway.

Yeah, that's what I've done too. I think that's what we're supposed to do isn't it? Seeing as most fighters only fight 2 or 3 times a year.
 
Cheers lads.

Though I had a bit of a shocker for the weekends event my score didn't turn out too bad. Need 8 out of 8 here :lol:
