I upvoted you Mikey. You were spot on. Granger is awful. No real excuse other didn’t care enough about that one to look into it.

My pick for Fight of the Night next... Well either of the next 2 fights. They're both the most intriguing matchups on the card to me.

No worries Swain bud.
I honestly don't give a **** about upvote/downvotes. I find it quite funny that prople get butthurt by it, it's so dumb.

But anyway, I just though Granger sucked and of course my golden rule for womens MMA. Always pick the uglier chick!!!!

I really think Barcelos will have too much for Nurmagomedov.

I agree Brad bud, this fight and Pantoja Schnell should've been on the main card.
I mean they are both 10x better than Jung vs Rodriguez and Park v Barriault

Barcelos has looked incredible in the UFC, but who's he really beaten? Said will be his toughest opponent yet. Nurmagomedov has beaten some pretty impressive guys in Russia.

Are people forgetting Justin Scoggins beat Nurmagomedov. It was a split but Scoggins got screwed.
Barcelos has been wrecking fools!!! Up a weightclass too!

He also "lost" to Scoggins at 125, but he looked good at 135 against Ramos.

Davis, you may be right. I kinda went off the whole Russian Monster thing! Were any Russian with a 10-0 record is a BEAST!!! Tgat UFC Moscow card was the final straw for me.  I really think the Russian foghters get an undeserved reputation just because they're Russian.

I know some a real good, Khabib, Yan a couple others. I don't know its just how I feel. About 6 months ago I was all about the Russian Beasts! I'm very easily swayed!!! Lol

Said should win this as long as he doesn't get lazy with those spinning attacks and get caught/taken down in the process. Some of those lazy spins can get countered.
