i got Faber. he's the underdog so im'a try and put some money on that. that's a great match up. i'm really lookin forward to that Mousasi vs Philippou too.

Munoz gonna be in his motherland so hopefully he can pull it off.

 

[RM211]

Li vs Lima should be hella fun. Lim vs Magny is going to be dope as well both of those guys are matched up pretty well side by side. Edgar n Faber is a matchup I've been waiting for since Frankie's been in that weight class. Gegard should run right thru Costas but this is mma and we've seen crazier things. Mma and boxing Friday, mma and boxing Saturday. Going to be a fun weekend, especially since I can't go anywhere cuz I fucced my ankle up lol

 

[RM211]

Cant wait for this fight!!

 

[RM211]

Edgar-Faber shoulda been a FOX headliner. This is a biiiig fight guys. You're talking about two of the most accomplished lighter-weight fighters of all time. Future hall of famers, still in high level, possibly prime, condition duking it out for 5 rounds. For godsake, Jacare-Mousasi II got a countdown show and that was an FS1 headliner just like this. This fight shoulda had it's own 30 min. or 1 hr special detailing their past and the road to this momentous fight. Ridiculous at lack of hype and promotion for this fight

^
I was thinkin the same thing. this is a "super fight" to me. shouldn't have been in the Philipines either. west coast great vs east coast great shoulda been on U.S. soil. these motherfuckers aint washed up.

UFC be fuckin up.

For real, the Faber/Edgar fight should have been on Fox in Jersey or Sacramento. Mousasi and Philippou could have easily headlined this FS1 card. No idea what the UFC was thinking, they definitely lost possible money with this.


Hope Munoz pulls it out since this is his retirement fight.

 

[infinity]

5am prelims lol

 

[InfamousICON]

Just tuned in, came in during Munoz retirement speech, good he's out on a win.

 

[InfamousICON]

So much for the stand up war I was expecting with Mousasi and Philippou

 

[infinity]

shit I was up at 7 and forgot to tune in until now. oh well the headliner hasn't happened yet

 

[InfamousICON]

damn just realized there's a Joe Rogan Fight Companion going on right now too, him and Schaub are talking about the Reebok deal right now.

[infinity]

I'm surprised Schaub agreed to be in the same room with Joe again lol

 

[infinity]

30 second delay ruins it. smh. Why?

 

[infinity]

3-2 frankie

 

[InfamousICON]

Good fight, Frankie is gonna beat the winner of Aldo/Conor

Faber looked like he was scared to let his hands go, also what the hell was his gameplan? Usually he truccs ppl when going for a takedown. I thought it was pretty clear who won I MAYBE give Faber 1 one round.

 

[Foul Mouth]

yeah Faber maybe round 1. he seemed way to hesitant.
