Oh neat I had not heard that spin or maybe just forgot.
It was the WEC they clearly didn't do to well in the long picture game.
Maybe just trying to make both guys look super tough and flashy.

@hideff i think they spam the showtime kick every time he fights with social media these days. I dont think much has been out into him getting a win here because its the 10 year anniversary. Im more concerned that it was 1p years ago :p

Pettis is an underrated grappler....i think this could be a big factor in this fight even tho im on morono

it has nothing to do with getting him a win. It has everything to do with putting him on the featured prelim after spamming the video around all week and its the 10 year reunion of the kick. its all simply to drum up a few more ESPN+ subs for the year.

I think Giagos is a better fighter then Glean or at lest just a lot bigger. He’s should be a bigger favourite then Glean

So for Winn fighting at 185 wasn't bad enough, he's going to a 195 catchweight bout fighting a 6'3 dude.


Hopefully DC's friend is next on the chopping block when he takes the L

@mickey420 ya i dont think they were looking to pay Yoel for the main card opener of a non ppv. Yoel said he dident want to fight people under him. Hes 43, lost 3/4 with his last 4 wins being rockhold, weidman and souza....that sounded worse as i typed it.

Aldo vs. Vera
Marlon Vera, DEC
1 of my original old favourites vs 1 of my new favourites. I'm going to be sad and happy whatever the outcome

Pereira vs. Williams
Michel Pereira, TKO, R2
This is all kinds of fun!!! I couldn't stand the backflipping Brazilian bastardo to begin with but he's grown on me!

Moraes vs. Font
Rob Font, TKO, R3
Kinda think Moraes is done as a top 10 fighter. I see a repeat of the Sandhagen fight, Moraes stuck on the outside eating shots and getting finished

Robertson vs. Santos
Gillian Robertson, TKO, R2
Santos getting an awful lot of love from the Bookies considering her best win is Molly McCann and she lost to Mara Borella!!!!

Tybura vs. Hardy
Marcin Tybura, TKO, R3
Hardy calling out boxers! Claimed he's gonna KO Fury or Joshua. Watch Big Pasty Tybura kick his ass!!!

Pettis vs. Morono
Alex Morono, DEC
Never in my life did I imagine I'd be picking Alex Morono to beat Anthony Pettis yet here I am

Sounds about right, but betting a big favorite on short notice in the curtain jerker smells like a trap!
