Suprise Marlon Vera is at +250 on some site,  the oddmakers thinking he some scrub like the Jose techo? or old like Winelan is a gift . Marlon can take a shot never being finsih in his whole carrer, Good on the feet and on the ground and should be on a 7 fight win streak but **** the corupt judges giving Ya Dong 2 robbery in a row . Think the odd should be around +150 to +180 because O'Malley starchs people so atlest he beating the low compotion the right way and is good on the ground subbing Sakaraba in a jiu jitsu compition. Only worry for O'malley is the wresling but Chito wont't wresle

Maybe just me, but i really dont like the idea of Daniel Cormier winning the title then retiring. Then it leaves the division kinda screwed. Then Next Stipe beats Ngannou or somebody else, becomes champion again but then nobody gives him the respect he deserves because he just lost to Cormier. It kinda makes the loser who becomes champion again not the best until a different individual wins the title. I want the champion to be the absolute best, not someone who is not as good as the retired fighter.

Also i think both these guys want to win so badley, your just gonna see smothering wrestling from DC vs crazy amount of body shots from Stipe. They both know what they have to do at this point and gonna push those gameplans

Yup. Agreed. They ****** Cyborg in a similar way for a similar reason. Minus the retirement of course

Plus it's the reason we haven't seen khabib gsp till now cause both khabib and gsp wanted that fight.

Miocic vs Cormier

Predictions: 1 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 3546th

I´m not saying this is a deciding factor at all, but have you guys seen stipe lately? He looks skinny compared to his previous fights, specially in the coffee comercial he did. Is he coming to the fight lighter than usual?

PS: I´m aware he denied this in his interview with Brett Okamoto, but still....

@phil why do you say that. Because of the I'll wait for my rematch thing. He was right in my opinion. Cormier was lucky to get a title shot at all.

Dc surely will not bother getting into a striking battle with stipe a third time. I suspect he will wrestle him the whole way. Finishing his career going out the way he came in by wrestling. and I don't think stipes wrestling is good enough to stop dc from getting the takedowns. 

P.s. I like when stipe mumbles in interviews.

Ironically the way you feel about stipe is how I feel about DC. Can't ******* stand him and I never could.

Lol. Wouldn't call him ****. But he's not as popular  or threatening as you would expect the heavyweight champ to be. 

I'll bet it's only a matter of time before Nganou is champion anyway. He's a scary ***********er. As the heavyweight champ should be.
