Aldo TKO 3------ I like Aldo to take Edgar's legs out with damaging kicks and then catch him later with KO shots.
Evans UD ------ Rashad will wrestle his way to a clear but boring UD over Little Nog
Overeem KO 1----As much as I'd love to see Reem get taken into deep water, tire and get finished, Silva's chin is too hugh to miss.
Maia Sub 2------ Fitch is a master of sub defense, but Maia at 170 is a different animal.
McCall UD----- McCall too busy and too well rounded.

 

Aldo TKO 3
Evans UD
Bigfoot TKO 3
Fitch UD
Benavidez UD

 

I already started a thread about this card. Mods ban Trplsc. Thank you.

Moving on. I want Ovreem to lose because he's kinda being a dick to the gentle giant big foot.
Rashad will win with 15 minute of black blanket offense
Benevevidez vs uncle creepy is kinda creepy in itself because Benewhatever looks like a 12 year old boy which makes uncle creepy that much creepier!
I hope Maia wins and with that lose Fitch gets his ass off the ppv cards forever
And finally Aldo will win because if Gayard can knock you down 34 times then Aldo can knock you down once for good.

 

Boss hates tan people.

 

::

 

Edgar dances circles around Aldo, tagging him at will, until Aldo gasses and gets choked out in the 4th.
Evans wins by dominating decision.
I'm no fan of Overeem, but Bigfoot is terrible. No power at all, and no other actual fighting skills other than being freakishly big. Overeem by 2nd round KO.
Fitch by snore inducing decision, because that's what he does.
Benavidez by UD, in spite of McCall having the coolest nickname in all of sports.

TFK

 

Edgar ud over Aldo, I am really struggling with this though. I love both fighters. This is two of the best in the sport. Its a treat we get to watch it go down.
Evans by UD
Overeem by UD, but I will be rooting for Silva every second of the fight
Fitch by UD
McCall by something....

 

Gotta go with Aldo in the toughest fight of the night to pick, late ko or UD. Still, I probably underate Edgar so wouldn't shock me to see him prove me wrong again.

Evans by boring ud vs Nog, not a fun fight at all
It's Overeem time and I expect him to ko BigFoot
Damn, Maia vs Fitch is hard to call, thinking about it, it's probably harder to pick a winner in this one than in the main event. Still, Maia has looked freaking good at ww so I'm gonna go with him in a close UD
Benavidez UD McCall, but I don't know much about either so this one is pretty much a wild guess.

Not a very good card, imo, but a superb main event.

I like Edgar a lot, but I think Aldo is the better fighter in enough areas to catch Edgar and win early.

Won't be paying for or watching this card live.

 

My boy Gatti picking Nog to pull off a sub against Evans!!! I will change my signature to anything Gatti wants for a month if that happens.

But here's what the Fightbeat Experts think collectively:

Aldo stops Edgar
Evans decisions Nog (Clearest pick of all fights)
Overeem stops Bigfoot
Maia over Fitch (Even split between sub and decision)
Benavidez decisions McCall

Based on the experts at Fightbeat, Evans is the safest bet while Aldo is the biggest gamble.

And Boss let his Hanzy personality slip out by telling us his preferences but not actually picking anyone.

 

Hey Anthony, get your picks in. You could swing the Aldo-Edgar to even money!!!

 

Not a very good card?

TFK

 

Aldo - KO 3
Little Nog - KO 2 (hoping for anything other than a wrestlefuck decision win by Rashad)
Overeem - KO 1
Maia - Sub 2
McCall - decision (just a guess, I haven't been following midget fighting)

 

Kimura looked excellent, by the way. This was my first time seeing him fight.

 

Best card in a while. Should be good

Aldo by dec
Reem by crushing 1st round ko
Evans by bore
Fitch by bore
Benavidez by dec

 

How is Tibau gonna pass his drug test? Guys who fight at 155 don't have arms like that.

TFK

 

REED Wound Up Ordering the PPV Tonight...Normally, REED would Go to a Sports Bar, but there's SEVERAL Interesting Fights, so REED Doesn't Want to Deal w/Sports Bar Distractions....

For those Keeping Count, REED Can't Recall the Last Time he's Ordered a BOXING PPV (Probably Mayweather vs. Dela)....All the While, REED has Ordered Anywhere from 5-10 MMA PPV's, Over the Last Several years....

Viva MMA!!!....




REEDartie:

 

It's hard to tell from one fight, but I could see him as a top contender someday. I wasn't happy at first when they started letting the tiny guys into the UFC. Guys like Kimura are changing my mind.

 

REED'll Only Pick Fights Featuring Guys he's HEARD of (Clueless to Who Benavidez or McCall are)...

Aldo TKO4 Edgar
Evans KO3 Lil Nog
Overeem KO1 Bigfoot
Fitch UD Maia




REED:mj:

 

i'd be shocked if nog won. i sure hope he wins though.
