so I **** on Stephen A pretty hard, but I have to say this wasn't a bad interview at all. He did a good job at being very blunt and straightforward, especially when Conor would go on his delusional tangents, and he showed Conor a bit out of his usual element. Usually the MMA media would just eat up Conor's ridiculous answers and move on, but Stephen was fact-checking him mid-answer at times. I think this is easily one of the better interviews with Conor to come out of this fight week, so props to Stephen A Smith for not being a useless ************* like I thought he was.

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 570 Points   |   Tied for 1132nd

Poirier vs. McGregor III
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R2
In a rubber match, the fighter who won the second fight usually wins the third. McGregor is taking it more seriously this time but it won't be enough.

Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, DEC
If this was a 5 round fight, I'd pick Thompson by TKO in the 4th. Burns will be spent by the end of this one and Wonderboy will be dancing around with his hands in the air.

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Get this ****** bum outta here

Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Irene Aldana, SUB, R2
This is a tough comeback fight for Aldana, especially with the time off due to her broken foot in the last fight. I'm picking with my heart because she's one of my favorite fighters but Kunitskaya by decision is probably the smarter pick.

O'Malley vs. Moutinho
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R3
Hope O'Malley submits him just to troll prop bettors

Griffin vs. Condit
Max Griffin, TKO, R3
This could be a career-ending war for either or both men. I can't wait.

Hall vs. Topuria
Ryan Hall, SUB, R1
Overconfidence is going to be someone's downfall in this fight. My guess is it's the younger fighter who makes the mistake

Du Plessis vs. Giles
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R1
God I hope I'm right.

Akhmedov vs. Tavares
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
Are these odds a typo? Akhmedov should be at least -200 in my opinion

Amedovski vs. Hu
Yaozong Hu, TKO, R1
Hu comin in hot from the top rope!!!! Just kidding this is (probably?) a terrible pick and I am a moron.

Feels like Price-Pereira steals fight of the night. It might not be pretty, but neither guy knows how to have a normal fight. Gonna be weird as ****.

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 505 Points   |   Tied for 2022nd

Poirier vs. McGregor III
Conor McGregor, TKO, R1
Reckon gooby takes this tbh

Burns vs. Thompson
Gilbert Burns, SUB, R2
Haven't got a strong read in this one

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Greg Hardy, TKO, R1
Reckon this one might surprise a few people.

Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Yana Kunitskaya, DEC
Betting R3 Aldana in this one for the odds

O'Malley vs. Moutinho
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
Lamb to the slaughter

Griffin vs. Condit
Max Griffin, TKO, R3
Condit is washed, Max slightly less so.

Price vs. Pereira
Michel Pereira, TKO, R2
Pereira via spineroony

Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
Can't see the incredulous shrug happening this time I'm afraid.

Du Plessis vs. Giles
Dricus Du Plessis, SUB, R2
Dricus looking thick, solid, tight. Giles welcomes the French revolution's preferred killing method.

Maia vs. Eye
Jennifer Maia, DEC
My policy on WMMA is expect a decision but bet R3 finish for your favoured fighter. Always strangely good odds and much more often hits than men's.

Akhmedov vs. Tavares
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
And another wrestle**** from Omari.

Zhumagulov vs. Rivera
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
Zhalgas finally gets it done via boring wrestle****.

Amedovski vs. Hu
Alen Amedovski, TKO, R1
Very low level fight but Hu's is the most can-laden by far. Alen has touch of death power, Hu has a Chinese passport which is the only reason he's in the UFC.

Interesting takeaway from DC's press conference is that Edmen Shabazyan is training with him full time. That's huge for Edmen, who is a few holes away from being an elite. He's got plenty of time to learn.

Love that Greg Hardy got louder boos than Sean got cheers, despite his efforts lol.


Aldana missing weight makes me question that fight.  Did she barely try and now she's huge and not drained?  Or did she try and completely missed and is a wreck now?  Anyone have any insight?

Has Conor always been this lame or i'm I just more mature as Conor got me into MMA. Conor zinger has been so **** as of late like calling Steve O a crack head and calling Dustin "Jodie Wife". Such generic ******  insult. I can come with better insult on the spot then what Conor said  of late. Dude need a new jokebook as he use to be actually funny
