Apparently Vince Murdock is unable to fight, leaving Jordan Griffin without an opponent.............. Again. That really sucks. Feel bad for him. UFC really tried putting him on this card. 2 opponents just backed out. #****Happens

I think there's probably a great 90 minute movie in Django Unchained, it's just SO LONG

Django unchained sucked. Inglorious bastards was pretty good but I prefer classic old Tarantino the best. 
Reservoir dogs is probably my favorite.

Going with four dogs. Usually don't go with more than three, but I've just got a feeling here. It'll probably bite me in the ass but I'm going with Albini, Townsend, Pichel and Formiga.


Edit: Got a feeling about Martin too. Bruce makes all the right points but I dont feel like I can go against Maia for some weird reason. Now like I said watch Martin win and all my other dogs lose.

This could be Martins time. He’s a nice dog pick. I just think Usman and Colby are better straight wrestlers and more imposing while Martin can get caught up in more grappling exchanges. But if he fights smart and uses his wrestling to box the ****noutta Maia he can definitely steal this and make it look ugly.  I feel either guy can win and whoever does is gonna make it look ugly and everyone who bet against wonder what in **** they were thinking. That said, Maia is OG. Takes a bit more resumes for me to go against him. Sergio is tough comparison IMO as he’s usually pretty amp to trade. Maia accepts what he is and I believe will pull guard and live or die forcing the scrapple.

I didn’t even look at betting lines at all until now but I don’t like that I didn’t take any dogs. That’s probably bad sign.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 11 of 12 Winners, 7 Perfect, 855 Points   |   9th Place

dos Santos vs. N'Gannou
Francis N'Gannou, TKO, R1
Just waiting for the BOOM

Maia vs. Martin
Demian Maia, DEC
At least tied for the most interesting fight on this card for me. Seen a lot of you guys debating this, so once again: ******* CHEATING ***** ASS WEIGHT CUTTERS. STEP ON THE SCALE AS YOU ENTER THE CAGE. But since they won't and we have to guess, no matter how much I'm rooting for him and think he can win, I can't pick against Maia, who I've seen get Chael and Fitch to the ground. Just hoping that the younger fighter and the evolution of MMA win out but I also can't forget the masterclass that was Maia vs. Gunnar, whose ground game I would have to consider at least slightly better than Martin's.

Craig vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Very nervously picking Menifield but if he doesn't get the 1st rd KO, talk about a nerve racking last 10 possible minutes.

Lungiambula vs. Townsend
Dalcha Lungiambula, TKO, R1
I'll take Soukoudjou 2.0 who did NOT look 5 inches shorter

Whitmire vs. Ribas
Emily Whitmire, SUB, R2
judging from the weigh-ins, this one has violence potential

dos Santos vs. N'Gannou
Junior dos Santos, TKO, R2
This should be a easy win for Junior if he can be smart. All he has to to do is stay on his bike an let Frank tire himself out. Then pick him apart in the second when he can't breathe.

Formiga vs. Benavidez II
Joseph Benavidez, DEC
I really want Formiga to win here. Benavidez gets to tap Megan Olivi and that just ain't right. **** that guy. Nevertheless, these guys are pretty evenly matched all around with Joe getting the edge in striking volume. He should point out a decision.
