seanz25 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Pearson isn't good enough to reach the top level though, so he's probably just cashing in on these last minute deals whilst he can. Top up the retirement fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2016 bit shit that Reis needs to fight rather than get his shot but an impressive PPV win might shine a little more light on the Johnson/Reis fight if it ends up happening. Â I like Pearson/Masvidal, good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2016 Updated the OP with the reshuffle and the Wilson Reis fight etc. Oddly they've bumped Namajunas vs Kowalkiewicz up to co-main status. Brown vs Ellenberger is third fight on the PPV now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2016 this show is definitely relying on that main event going ahead, there's a show cancellation brewing if that drops off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yeah, if you chop Lawler vs Woodley off the top of this one, this card would look weak even as a midweek Fight Night. They're really relying on that main event staying intact. And really, it's on Lawler's shoulders to carry this one. Woodley isn't someone fans are going to necessarily dip into their wallets to watch. Lawler's built up a rep over the years, and especially during this UFC stint/his title reign, as being someone whose fights you don't want to miss. If anyone else drops out of this card it wouldn't be good, obviously, but it'd survive. But if Lawler dropped out they'd be fucked. They couldn't justify it being on PPV without him. They'd probably either do what they did with the Wonderboy vs Hendricks show and downgrade it to a Fight Night on free TV or they'd scrap it altogether and stick all the fights on other upcoming cards.

Paid Members lambyUK Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 cheers wand. i've got a free schedule Sunday so im loading up on munch taking in the hype and settling in for UFC 202 and Frampton/Santa Cruz (and catch up on the Josh Warrington card), i can't wait.  I'm the opposite unfortunately. I'm off on holiday to Spain for 2 weeks and we are flying out on a 7.30am flight so will need to get to the airport for 5.30am. Means I will up but with the chaos of getting 2 kids ready to get a taxi I will miss the co main and main.  If I can get to the airport before the main I will see if I can get a wifi signal there.  I was about to say thank fuck we've got to this week without losing the main event, but after you jinx'd UFC 200 Ebb, I better keep my mouth shut!  In regards to the women's fight, I'm hoping for a Rose win as I actually think she stands a big chance against Joanna. Striking wise no, but Rose has crazy submissions and movement and I think with her competent stand up gives her a big chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 Â Â Â Â Â Â Namajunas vs Kowalkiewicz in a battle of hard to pronounce names. I quite like this fight. I'd read good things about Kowalkiewicz when she signed with the UFC but I haven't been blown away so far. She's been decent but nothing spectacular. She'll have to be on point here though because Thug Rose don't fuck about. Big fan of Namajunas. She's just constant offence, even when she's on the defence. She's already ruined Paige VanZant's streak, I could see her doing the same here unless Kowalkiewicz has something up her sleeve we haven't seen yet. Â Â trying to put a little bet together for this show, i just read a prediction that really fancies Kowalkiewicz for the upset here, claiming her takedown defence is impeccable and she beats Namajunas all day on the feet. It sold me, it's going on my slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted July 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 I genuinely keep changing my mind about Namajunas and Kowalkiewicz. As mentioned earlier I'm hoping for a Namajunas win but as you say, Kowalkiewicz has great credentials.  I also think we will be seeing an upset in the main event. Woodley has KO power on top of his strong wrestling game. Lawler's wars may also finally have caught up to him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
