Damn the pic on Ryan Halls page, someone who runs this site really has a personal problem with him. I've never seen a purposely terrible pic used on a fighters page before. Even the very unpopular fighters everyone hates don't have that. What did Ryan do to you tapology mods?

I’ve seen plenty, honestly. First one that comes to mind is Ok Rae Yoon. His profile pic leading up to the Alvarez fight was literally him getting punched in the face lmao

Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Irene Aldana, TKO, R1
Aldana will keep the fight standing and I think her power will be to much for Kunitskaya. If Kunitskaya can weather that I don’t think Aldana will gas out or be taken down and controlled for long periods of time. Kunitskaya does have a knack of keeping the fights in the clinch, which may happen here but again I believe Aldana has the advantage.

The excitement for this card is just wild. I get that the main event is one worth getting pumped for, but man. It's gonna be another schooling by Poirier - not sure why people are expecting different when they have literally no reason to do so.

The best fight on the card is Wonderboy/Burns and even then I don't think that one is worth being excited for. Have you seen Wonderboy/Luque? If so, congrats. Chances are that's probably exactly how this fight is gonna go.


Main card is "meh" personified imo. 

Prelims have some good fights on them. Du Plessis/Giles in fantastic, Akhmedov/Tavares is a nice MW gatekeeper fight, Hall/Topuria is a complete toss-up between two extremely good fighters who very much thrive at different aspects of martial arts, Price/Pereira has stupid violence potential, and Griffin/Condit could and should be a banger. 

Card as a whole has some stuff to look forward to, but this PPV is just straight-up ****.

A long shot, but maths will win in the end

Predictions: 3 of 3 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 4570th

Picking O'Maley vs Moutinho for a prop decision at 4.50 (+350). A less likely outcome, but at these odds the risk to reward ratio is well worth the bet. Our tips are available at http://betmma.tips/Killbot2000

I like round 2 starts at even money for the O'Malley fight at even money ^ 

Not the most confident bet in the world but + money for round 2 starting at a lower weight class seems like value.

Price vs. Pereira
Michel Pereira, TKO, R1
not really confident in this one, Pereira has really good footwork and head movement which gets him out of a lot of danger and this will be effective against Price. However, he doesn't really check the leg kicks and Price would be smart to go to them throughout the fight. This issue with Price is he likes to brawl, he's willing to take one to give one which is why I think he's not going to win because Pereira can create angles and counter with the straight right, and that's where i think Pereira gets it done, I think the damage will start to add up

Well of course. He was very green 10 years ago in the grappling aspect. I was just providing Duck some useless knowledge that will have no bearing on this fight haha

“Ton of respect for him for taking that fight but it’s a dangerous fight,” O’Malley said. “I don’t just TKO people, I don’t just submit people. I really change people’s careers. I knock people out in devastating fashion. So this could be the beginning of his career or it could be the end of his career.”

Yeah, like Eddie Wineland was having a career resurgence or relevant in some way, Thomas Almeida? Smolka? Time to accept this guy doesn't have the heart to fight in a fire fight. He doesn't have what it takes to rise above, he's just a bum beating up washed up fighters and saying he destroys their career. That's sad.

Couldn't agree more with you about O'Malley the deranged can who got destroyed in 1 round and came back saying he didn't consider the beating Vera put on him as a loss. He is indeed a headcase bum that has no heart for this sport that absolutely requires one in order to compete on the highest level. With each fight he takes I hope he loses and loses badly cause he certainly deserves it.

Fighters like O'Malley feed on exactly that kind of energy because it sells. If you hate him you'll watch him fight in hopes he gets his ass kicked, and if he wins you'll write off the opponent as a can and watch the next fight to see if he loses that time. Just like Colby Covington

Griffin vs. Condit
Carlos Condit, DEC
I think this fight will largely contested on the feet and if it does I do have to favour Condit. Condit's unorthodox strikes can definitely land on Griffin but at the same time Griffin has looked impressive in his last two and if he's the one pressing forward landing big 1-2s he can absolutely get this done. I just think Condit can avoid the pressure, he fights well on the back foot, he can create angles and land counter shots hence why i believe he gets it done against Griffin

dude is always bringing peoples families up when it comes to these fight weeks and everyone just ignores it because it's Conor and ******* "lol it's just mind games bro". his friend got slapped in a hotel lobby and he flew a gang of his ****bois to attack a bus full of people, but everything he does is apparently fair game.


Conor is just an insecure ******
