i agree with bruce on the gaethje pick. ko within 2 or 3 rounds. edson needs room and thats one thing gaethje doesnt let you have.

If he doesn't make it to the fight, the bet is off. If he does, he'll win by boring ass decision because the guy he's fighting is a short notice can. Either way, I'm good.

I expect Casey to grown-man Borg. Casey coming off a brutal KO win while also beating tough competition. Ray isn't all that talented and has absolutely no spine or intestinal-fortitude. The crying that people heard on the bus when Conor attacked wasn't from Namajunas...it was from Borg. 

The fact that he let his own creation go through 7 brain-surgeries before a b-day tells me everything I need to know about Borg. Ray is not capable or prepared to do what is necessary in life and that's really the ONLY purpose a man has on this planet. Do what is necessary.

Barboza vs. Gaethje
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R4
Kind of a boring card, decent main event. I think Barboza is gonna get rocked from Gaethje's pressure and get tko'd. Barboza has faced a lot of excellent competition such as Tony Ferguson, Khabib, Kevin Lee and Cerone, during his time in the UFC and has lost to all of them. Maybe it says more about the winners than it does Edson, but the way that he loses is from pressure fighters. He can last 5 rounds but he seems to fail under pressure, something Justin can and does apply to a lot of his fights and even in his losses has shown his determination to win.

Shelby obviously feels sorry for Borg

The fans obviously feel sorry for Borg

most of you feel sorry for Borg

Casey Kenney does not pity that fool 

Me? IDGAF. Your weak sperm & genes are your problem bum, and your lay & pray style is actual cancer. I hope Borg gets KO'd stiff then retires.

I feel about Borg the way I feel about furniture; it's just there. I don't think about it.

You make a good point though. He could lose here. I may have to scrap that bet. I very much doubt Borg will drop one to a run-of-the-mill thai fighter like Kenney but you never know when a guy has been out so long. Kenney has never beaten anyone good. His record is composed of 6-1 and 8-4 guys and worse.

and who has Borg beat? Formiga.....so what? 


Shane Howell is good? Kelades, Scoggins (who smoked Borg), Smolka (cut from the UFC then came back) & Geane the Bum Herrera aren't even in the UFC anymore.

Still better than anyone Kenney has beaten.Smolka is better than anyone Kenney has beaten let alone Jussier. The one thing that makes me nervous is that borg lost to scoggins who is truly a bucket of poo.
