Haven't watched it yet, but it seems they didn't just re-use the Johnson vs Borg segment from their last scheduled fight? Good on them haha

Edit: Nvm, they have re-used some stuff.

Green vs Vannata.

Yes ******* please.

I think El Tony via Manslaughter

Green vs Vannata.

Yes ******* please.

I reckon they nailed it with the lightweight match ups on this card. All of em have the potential to be good fights

Yeah, agreed. I reckon it will be a great card to watch, top to bottom.

I expect the main event to be super competitive as well. Seems a lot of people are sleeping on Kevin Lee. I won't be surprised if he can get it done on the feet.

Has the embedded series not started yet?

Usually starts on the Tuesday iirc. Could be they've held off the upload because the events that happened in Las Vegas yesterday?

I give Lee a decent shot in this fight, but haven't seen anything from him to suggest it will be on the feet where he has the advantage. Tony's longer and much more well rounded there and Lee's also been rocked on a fair few occasions in his UFC fights. His top/back game is next level though and if Ferg is willing to try and fight off of his back like he did against Castillo I think it will end badly for him.

Morning weigh-ins drama strikes again.....

Lee looked really bad on the scale. I don't see how that doesn't hamper his performance 2moro

What happened? I missed the weigh ins

What happened? I missed the weigh ins

Missed it on first go by a pound. Came back an hour later on weight. Looked super sucked in.

 

[bkozican]

Watched the old weigh ins and 1 thing you get is Tony is comfortable and Lee seems invested in making a scene. I don't give Lee a chance, I just think it's too early

 

[Gigantic]

Odds go up against Lee after his weigh in.

I'm even more convinced about Ferguson winning this

That sucks.

Walt Harris steps up to face werdum and Godbeer is off the card.

 

[newblueo]

imo it's cose of tony being champ connor skipped out of the divie. lee is a tool i hope that gets beaten. but tony stop wearing sunnies inside lol

ray borg has to be one of the best guys in mma i see him winning.

lewis will last about 3mins an burn out.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]
