Prediction: wrong Mendes   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  


he has to milk this as much as he can to get the money on this.  He is making a killing and did not even beat a top 5er to get there.

Prediction: correct McGregor   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

My brain is telling me I need to pick Mendes here but the UFC pushing so hard for McGregor to be a star makes me want to just pick him....Plus I would rather see Aldo/McGregor than Aldo/Mendes 3.

I believe the hype. I can't help it. I generally pick the wrestler, but not today.

Only thing that could put a doubt in mendes winning is that he only had about 3 weeks to train specifically for this.

Was very confident in Conor a week ago ... now I'm thinking the Tapology pick lines are dead on. 

Weird thing about this fight is that, whoever wins, I think they're going to do so in dominant fashion.

Prediction: correct McGregor   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

When the betting underdog has a 32% or greater tapology pick the underdog wins the bout 64% of the time. If that betting underdog has a majority >50% pick here on tapology the win percentage increases to 71%! 100% of these stats are entirely made up but it would be cool if I was a math and database wizard so I could see the real numbers.

Oh, you were actually paying attention to it until I stated that I was making the numbers up? That doesn't sound like you came upon the realization that I was an idiot on your own. So who does that really make the idiot? Maybe you should edit your edit, son. You got got. You. Got. Got.

This fight will be fixed. McGregor can sell out Ireland. most of europe, boston etc........ mendes can't sell anything. They will make it look good and let mendes wrestle**** Conor for two rounds and then in round three an uppercut ends this fight. Nobody wants to see Aldo/mendes again and thats why Edgar did not get to fight (vs mcgregor)b/c he would not roll over.

The outcome of this fight will seem obvious in hindsight.  Those fights are the hardest, but most fun to pick.

Dana White has come out and said that Jose Aldo did not have a broken rib and that the X Rays he released were of an old injury.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/7/10/8930591/dana-white-jose-aldo-did-not-have-a-broken-rib-the-x-rays-he-released


Either Aldo lied, or Dana White is a straight up *************. IF that's ******** and Aldo really did have a broken rib it makes me not want to watch the UFC anymore because their president is a complete ******* slimeball. I'll never pay for a single PPV. I'll never contribute jack **** to the UFC. I will stream your events on my 17 inch laptop screen even if they're on FOX or FS1 and I could be watching them on a 60 inch HDTV.

This fight will be contested on the feet for at least part of the match whether Mendes wants it or not, and when it does I think Mendes tastes McGregor's power.

If true, I'll join @CthulhuJones and never buy a PPV again. I can't watch the current #1 P4P and champion with 7 consecutive title defenses being called "liar" by a bald ****** who turned his own show into a stupid circus. That's disgusting!

Prediction: correct McGregor   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

I think Mendes is going to fall into McGregor's trap and go on the aggressive, which eliminates McGregor's need to throw those crazy kicks as a bait and thus, makes McGregor significantly more likely to stifle Mendes' wrestling.

Mendes' chance in this fight is on the counter, and if he chooses to try and fight on the counter I think he would decisively win the fight. But I think Mendes will make a big mistake with his gameplan (Team Alpha Male in general to be honest) and that will cost him the fight.

But I could always be wrong. I think Edgar would've ****** with McGregor's **** to be honest, and I give him the best chance out of him, Aldo and Mendes to beat up McGregor.
