Colby played chicken with the UFC and it cost him a title shot.

Smith is a real threat but if Jones stay focus he's on another planet right now!

Usman, dec.
Here I go again, picking against Woodley.But I've got stronger grounds for doing so this time, at least. Know what Usman's TDD is? 100%. Tyrone, as great as he is in the wrestling department, is not getting him to the floor, and will lose the grappling exchanges generally.What will decide this contest will be striking; Usman either outlands woodley at a better clip and survives the big shots, or he eats the T-bomb and gets put to bed.
Editor's note: This fight has the potential to be the most boring ************* in WW Hist--oh, wait, the second most boring title fight in WW history.
Who's a better striker? Woodley, unquestionably. However, Usman has never been put away by strikes. Has a he fought a puncher like Woodley? Nope. But he has fought Warlay Alves, who would be close in my estimations. I think Woodley will be off his game fighting Kamaru, because this is the first time since Rory Mac he will be fighting a grappler who is as good or better than he is--in fact, I am convinced that Kamru is actually better, perhaps considerably so. Every time he has fought a decent to strong wrestler, he's struggled, or lost, or looked uncomfortable--eg the Gastelum fight. Usman is better, quite possibly, than every grappler/wrestler he has faced combined.
Usman has better cardio, better output. He'll have a couple of scares, but takes at least three. Tyrone can't win by decision here, and I think a lot of people will be surprised when Kamru takes top position more than once and holds it the entire round.
And new.

Maybe this time him usada and the ufc will all co ordinate so he can use steroids without getting caught.
Hope lion heart ****s jones in the octagon. Normally I order the ppv to support the sport and org I love but
I will never pay for an event with jones on it again. Illegal stream here I come.
P.s. keep pretending he's not a cheater. That's why his **** doesn't work.

Ufc u sicken me getting it wrong so often. I wish you would let the fans make the fights.
Personally I don't think either guy beats Woodley. But we should be seeing Woodley Colby to unify the belts.
Or the WME boys should stop handing out and taking back interim belts like they're candy.
Poor Woodley no one even talks about his claim to the best pound for pound and G.O.A.T title's.
****** guy's only dominated the welterweight division since Gsp. Emperor Dana White truly hates him.
He's got a thumb he said. "Woodley can't fight cause he's got a thumb" quote dana white.

Jon Jones, TKO, R2
I think Jones wins this fight easily.
Woodley vs. Usman
Kamaru Usman, DEC
I think Woodley's stamina will be an issue in this fight.
Lawler vs. Askren
Ben Askren, DEC
I think Askren's wrestling gets him the win in this fight.
Sanchez vs. Gall
Mickey Gall, DEC
I think Mickey Gall will win , because Diego Sanchez is well beyond his prime.

Nunes is the only brazillian champ right now so its may be Nunes-Holm even if Pereira deserve it more.
