Paid Members Chunk Posted December 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 14, 2016 Can't see how he gets a win, but I really hope we don't see Pickett retire after this. I want to see that bastard fight in London next year. Â It says a lot about international cards actually. Here we have a Fox card, with Faber retiring on a home show and it's third down on the lineup. If Pickett were to do the same and announce a retirement fight on the London card, there's every chance they make that the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogs Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Can't see how he gets a win, but I really hope we don't see Pickett retire after this. I want to see that bastard fight in London next year. Â At the Q&A in Belfast last month, he said he's thinking about making it on to the London card and having that as his last fight in his hometown.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 14, 2016 nah, Pickett ain't main eventing. I expect him to have a decent main card slot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chunk Posted December 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 14, 2016 Why not? Because the quality of cards in London has been so high in the past? Discounting the Bisping / Silva anomaly, I don't think it's a huge stretch depending on opponent. They'll sell out the O2 pretty much no matter what, so I wouldn't be amazed if it happens. Â Edit: the last two shows in London he's fought third and fourth down on a 4 fight main card. He could easily co main event and given the situation and the right opponent I'm sticking with saying he could main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted December 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 14, 2016 Sorry Chunk but you must be smoking some serious shit if you think Brad Pickett would headline any UK UFC event. He wouldn't sell out a paper bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted December 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2016 Â I thought Gall did another good job hyping this feud. He's a natural at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This is actually a really fun main card. Hope Super Sage batter's Northcutt and does a victory dance upon winning.  Faber's beating Pickett but could get dragged into a war. Looking forward to this.

Tamura Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hope Super Sage batter's Northcutt and does a victory dance upon winning. He's going to batter himself? That should be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2016 Very surprised to see that Northcutt was an underdog against Gall as of yesterday. There has to be money dropped there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yeah it's a bit of a tossup really. But my thinking is Northcutt is a lightweight going up to welterweight. His only loss was at welterweight. And the only times we've seen him in trouble were in grappling exchanges - the Barberena submission loss and the armbar scare at UFC 200 against Marin. And Gall's a natural welterweight and a BJJ brown belt. Â I know Sage's loss was partly down to him being sick against Barberena but still, it's a fact that the times we've seen him in trouble were against guys who were trying to submit him. And Gall fits that description. Â The only thing making me have doubts on Gall is that he's still so green. Whatever you say about Northcutt, it's undeniable that this is Gall's first real test in his career. 99% of the roster would've smoked CM Punk and Mike Jackson. This is Gall's first real opponent, regardless of Sage coming up in weight for it, he's still a tougher and more dangerous test than anyone Gall's fought yet. Â But I don't know, I've got a feeling Gall rises to the challenge here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2016 It makes for a real interesting fight. If Gall can't score that takedown though he's surely going to get chewed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2016 They look like the blandest people ever. One of those dull couples you see on facebook who seemingly just go to the gym & nothing else. Grilled chicken & brown rice for every meal & missionary sex with the light off.
