Some awesome fights tonight!! El Pantera Yair is finally back, against a tough motherfecker in the Korean Zombie.

The only bad thing is the timing. Why this shit is starting so late??? Does Denver has their own time zone?

that was a lighting fast 1-2 to drop Juicy J.

Crazy power on Smith.

To think that John Gunther (fights next) kicked his ass :wenger: (Probably means his ground game must be shit)

Yeah looks like it.

Easy win for Ramos there. A fight lasting longer than 60 seconds would be nice. :lol:
 
That chick Barber (20yo) should change her nickname from "the future" to "the present". Vicious little bitch.

Wants to fight Mackenzie "Big rig" Dern next. Would be a nice fight.

Tatiana Suarez gonna humble her one day.
 
I fecking hate missing out on so many fights due to the time difference, is there any website that streams the whole main card after it's finished? PM me if there is.

I really hope so. That Edgar fight was too soon for him but I hope he's learned from it. If he doesn't work on his grappling in general I don't see him anywhere near the top. Fantastic stand up, great to watch so I hope he works on it.

Agree completely. Seems to have stuffed a few takedown attempts from KZ last night but his wrestling isn't comparable to someone like Edgar.
He must have worked on it though surely.
 
Apparently Cerrone v. McGregor is in the works.

Feels like they're giving Conor a winnable fight to get him back to Khabib unharmed.

Cerrone always chokes on the big moments.

Good god. That would be sinking pretty low for Conor. Great money for Cowboy though.

I would have thought Poirier or Lee would be the obvious opponents for McGregor next with Khabib and Ferguson probably fighting each other once all the suspensions are over.

Yeah same.

I would love to have seen Gaethje vs. Cowboy, Poirier vs. Nate and McGregor vs. Kevin Lee with Khabib vs. Ferguson as the title fight.

I honestly don't know if Nate Diaz will ever fight again, i wouldn't mind seeing McGregor vs Poirier. Poirier is a lot better now than when they first fought.

would love to see what Conor could do against Lee. Both will talk shit and come in wearing fancy outfits
 
Some predictions for 2019:

Mcgregor X GSP happens

Curtis Blaydes becomes HW champ

Israel Adesanya becomes Mcgregor level of PPV draw

Jon Jones fights more than once in the year

First trade between UFC and Bellator happens

Mcgregor X GSP happens - can see that

Curtis Blaydes becomes HW champ - can see this too

Israel Adesanya becomes Mcgregor level of PPV draw - don't think so. The Irish are far more vocal than Nigerians...

Jon Jones fights more than once in the year - yeah, once in the UFC and once against a pregnant lady in the streets.

First trade between UFC and Bellator happens - doubt it but maybe

I'll add a few:
Khabib is still champion come end of the year

Askren wins debut then gets KO'd before the end of the year

Woodley remains champ for the entire year

Cruz gets his belt back

Agree with the first three but I think Dillashaw will remain champ the entire year, he will smash Cejudo and then either outclass Cruz for 5 rounds or finish him. I just think Cruz's prime was in 2011.
 
Anyone know how many UFC champs have won their belt back after having lost it?
