Kelleher did an interview about 3 weeks ago where he basically admitted the ko loss to Lineker changed his life. Says he wasn't there mentally against Jackson. Then was scheduled against Gagnon last May and got hurt. 

He had planned to go to Factory X to train for this fight but that didn't end up working out. More recently he's been whining on twitter about the weight cut not going well. 

This is the last fight on his contract and he knows the ufc is waiting to see what he's got left. He's giving up 7 inches in reach here and has never improved his sub defense...

Will be an interesting fight.

Great info Kepharticus. That is one part of my capping that needs to improve, observing fighters social media, (I'm not on social media myself). I personally dont understand how a person, let alone a fighter would post like it's a dear diary, why in the world would kelleher tell the internet his weight cut is going bad, its bizarre. No doubt, the Lineker battering and getting owned by Montel is a come to jesus moment, his back is against the wall, he needs to win, but Ode, he ain't lacking for confidence or purpose, he feels like he got the spirit in him, like Israel got the spirit in him. I dont think he is overly special,  or scary power like Lineker, tho he hasn't been past 1st round in a bit, I dont see Kelleher getting his ass kicked by Ode, just submitted. I think Kelleher could catch dude with a cross and if he can get on top without getting submitted, I could see ode gassing and decision for kelleher.

@johnny I'll be ******* shocked if cerrone gets submitted. That's the last thing I see happening. 
Conor's gonna starch him with the left like Aldo. Cowboy's game but he's sloppy. Conor's timing is too good. plus the southpaw stance.

im thinking this is gonna be a tougher fight for conor than people think. he has no cardio to begin with and then he weight trains and packs on muscle? if he hasnt addressed that issue how do you honestly think that is going to work out? if cowboy survives the first round its his fight imo.

@phil I don't think acclimating as slow as he has is that difficult. I bet he's a natural 165er.

Sabina Mazo   vs.   JJ Aldrich 


Aldrich, dec.


Mazo, apart from looking exactly like a Mrs Potato head toy (which may or may not exist, I'm presuming it does and she's the spitting image of it) is like that new-looking pen you find at the bottom of the drawer. You take it out, not being able to remember having bought it and when, and wonder why you never used it. After a few minutes of use, you realize it's bled ink over the left side of your index and finger, and you think 'ahhhh, that's it I remember now--it's an absolute *************'.


Aldrich should win comfortably here.


Maycee Barber   vs.   Roxanne Modafferi 


Barber, KO/TKO R2.


I have nothing against Roxanne apart from the fact she's got a sexy name which is not befitting of a woman who looks like she drinks a lot of home-made soup, runs a book club, wears flannel shirts and probably farts and laughs about it in public.  I've always thought she looks a bit like a far-sighted patrick ( from sponegbob).That stated, she's about to get brutally smashed to death and has no path to victory in this bout by the far beastier, skilled and prettier girl. Maycee will not get taken down, which leaves a striking battle roughly as one-sided as a witch trial. Please see meme:





Holly Holm   vs.   Raquel Pennington

Holm, decision.

Having seen Rocky naked and worked through it with my the******, I'm at least consoled that it wasn't Holm, who either has male genitalia or a demented kink that makes her stuff an adult coconut crab ( and its food, which judging by appearances is in fact  a coconut) down her panties at the weigh-ins. My guess is  **** n' balls though, especially given the way the light catches the hair on her upper lip and the fact  'she' has traps and delts bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator. I'd like Pennington to win here, but she likely won't, and Mr Holm will ish his way to another boring ass point decision.
