OzExile Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I think I'm in the minority by tipping JJ to be upset by KK. Â I think JJ is in a bit of no man's land at present - trying to establish herself in the US by joining American Top Team - I think her first camp in the US - and currently without a manager I think.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 25, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 Lyman Good has been popped by USADA, he's off the show. Not entirely shocking, Good's always looked like the kind of guy who's body was enhanced by some Mexican Supplements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016 The UFC have added Jim Miller Vs Thiago Alves to this card. That fight has been on the card for ages. Â In fact, the original Alves vs Iaquinta fight was the very first fight announced for 205 but when Iaquinta dropped out they went with Alves vs Miller at lightweight instead.

Â I think JJ is in a bit of no man's land at present - trying to establish herself in the US by joining American Top Team - I think her first camp in the US - and currently without a manager I think. Â I'm feeling JJ for this also. KK is starting to look untouchable and whenever that has happened over the past few years the fight game has reminded us all that nobody is . There is this quite confidence about JJ. I think she is going to fight a calm fight, her victory will be nothing spectacular but I think it will be a solid fight. This fight has the potential to steal the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016  I think I'm in the minority by tipping JJ to be upset by KK.  I think JJ is in a bit of no man's land at present - trying to establish herself in the US by joining American Top Team - I think her first camp in the US - and currently without a manager I think.  I'm feeling JJ for this also.

Joanna for the win or Karolina?  So hyped for this event. If I hadn't already paid $500 for my 4 day cruise, I'd bail on that for sure to stay in Australia and watch this live on PPV instead. Bring on Monday afternoon on the 14th of November! Will have avoid the Internet like the plague when I get back on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 30, 2016 I completely forgot about the poll. Â Alvarez by decision. Woodley by KO/TKO. Jedrzejczyk by decision. Â Them are my picks. Â Bit surprised how one sided the Alvarez vs McGregor poll is, to be honest. Currently 24-10 to McGregor. I thought it'd be a close run thing. Especially given how many people were writing McGregor off in the Diaz rematch in August. I think Alvarez is just as tricky, if not more, style-wise for Conor Mac. Â It's a tough call but I've still got my doubts on Conor's cardio down the stretch. I think it'll be better than it was at 170. But Alvarez can wear on you as well. I guess a lot depends on what gameplan Eddie uses. If he ends up in a wild brawl then anything can happen. If he comes to grapple I honestly think he gives McGregor all kinds of grief. Then again, part of me is wondering if the stamina issues with McGregor were mostly because he was opposite a Diaz. We've seen many a fighter fade against both Nick and Nate over the years, and they weren't guys you necessarily had down as gassers. Very interesting one. I've just got this feeling it's going to be a long miserable night for McGregor. Â Woodley vs Thompson I'm fancying a Woodley win unfortunately. I'd love to see Wonderboy smash him up but I don't know if we've had all the questions answered on him yet, specifically in the grappling. The only really good wrestler we've seen him against was Hendricks but Hendricks stood with him and got obliterated. I think Woodley could potentially be a nightmare for Wonderboy because not only is he a powerhouse explosive wrestler, he's got dynamite power in his hands as well and he's fast as fuck. Thompson's karate style means he's an expert with controlling distance but Woodley closes the gap and covers distance like no other in MMA. He's like a fucking gazelle. Maybe Thompson's takedown defence is up to the task but I don't think he's faced a wrestler like Woodley before. I reckon Woodley takes him down, a lot, and stops him with ground and pound. Â Jedrzejczyk vs Kowalkiewicz is one of the hardest to call on the entire card IMO. Just because we still don't know that much about KK. I don't think we've seen her best yet by far. And she's looked better with each fight in the UFC so far, I think. But I can't really see how she beats JJ. She's not the strongest takedown artist from what we've seen of her. And she's outgunned on the feet. And Joanna doesn't seem to fade either. She's hell in round 5 just like she's hell in round 1. I can see KK hanging in there and making a go of it, but I think Joanna wins fairly comfy on points. Similar to the Letourneau fight, I reckon.

AdamTH17 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Great video documenting the UFC careers of Thomson and Woodley, well worth the watch if you have a spare 20 minutes. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted October 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2016 Mcgregor's youtube channel the mac life have been putting a video out every day in the build up to UFC 205. Most of them are generic work out videos, but yesterday's one was particularly good. There's a few minute segment at the end where he goes off on one regarding the hate he receives from other fighters, and refreshingly he refrains from his normal cliched "bum" chat.

Paid Members Supremo Posted October 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's getting to that point now where every time I see this thread bumped I'm fearing the worst. It's so close, I'm terrified someone is going to get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
