If you want a channel that has great breakdowns you should definitely check out Brendan Doorman, he is my favorite guy.

This is his channel:

And here is the video about DC and Stipe's last fight, if you like eye poking of Cormier you won't like this breakdown, I personally love it and happy that is was finally addressed by someone.

I would be so happy if Stipe would walk in the octagon with glasses to troll Cormier even more, same as he did so far.



Face of vid to help you out, while I'm already at it:

Weigh in vid:

See the glasses 

^  Weigh ins done 30 mins ago.  Cormier is leeaannerrr at 236...  Way leaner than the last fight.  I think he weighed around 250 or more then.  Ugh, kinda worried about my Miocic bet now.  Lolol.

And Miocic is leaner too as expected.  Weighed 230 from 242.

Will post results and face off vids later.  But if somebody else could do it, that would be nice.  Thanks.

Edit:  Miocic weighed in at 242 for the first fight, 230 for the second fight and 233 coming in for this bout.  So no big change there.

Cormier...  I got a baaad feeling he'll rag doll Miocic around the cage.

Marlon Vera is the toughest opponent Sean O'Malley is facing in his career and his two losses in the amateur bout was by submission and Marlon Vera does have some slick submissions and never lost a fight by knockout. I am going with Sean O'Malley because of his striking skills.

The last time Cormier was coming after a surgery and he was not able to wrestle because of a stiff back and this time we will see him incorporating his wrestling skills and you have to take into account the cage is really small which will help Cormier to cover the distance easily.

Stipe Miocic looks different and hopefully it is going to be a long fight.

^  Yup.  Cormier is also 41.  He'll prolly gas eventually no matter how in shape he is...  Just like the last bout.

And follow Miocic at IG.  He's leaner and could be lighter on his feet to avoid just standing there in front of Cormier like what happened the last time.

It's Dos Santos to win for me.  Roz for all his power just doesn't throw enough.  Aaand don't forget, Roz just got starched by Ngannou three months ago.  I think he needs to give fighting a rest a bit longer before going back in there.

Some vids...

Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier

This fight would be a tough one to predict Stipe Miocic got a list of well-known fighter that he overcomes before having a taste of lost to Cormier, while Cormier got a segway match with Derrick Lewis before losing it to Miocic, I say Stipe Miocic got my bet because of his record win with Alistair Overeem, Junior Dos Santos, and Francis Ngannou, While even though Daniel Cormier fight with Jon Jones is an NC because of Steroids Jon Jones is clearly the winning, I think Stipe Miocic's win against Daniel Cormier is still fresh for Miocic and he can recall it and take this win.

Junior dos Santos vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik

When it comes to power I guess Jairzinho Rozenstruik is quite a slight favorite here and his records with his win over Junior Dos Santos winning rate I guess many are indeed think that Rozenstruik can beat up Dos Santos well I think the same way and by the looks of it Jairzinho Rozenstruik will win this by KO/TKO.

I haven't taken any action yet but leaning on Miocic ML, the O'Malley fight goes the distance prop, Dos Santos ML, Pichel ML, Brown ML, Daukas ML and the over 1.5 rounds for Daukas' match.

Follow at your own risk.  Lol.

^  Check out Miocic in these vids.  He looks leaner.  He prolly won't make it happen like the last bout...  He started slow.  I think he's gonna be lighter on the feet this time around.

Thank you.
I've recently found this forum. But it's the only place I know for free UFC DDL

http://fight-bb.com/viewforum.php?f=10

Free ones you can find on Reddit but the quality is meh.  I bought a Fight Pass subscription recently.  It's worth every cent.

BTW do you know where we can find free videos of complete UFC events?

^  I've already posted a couple of vids itt from that channel some time ago.  The Dominick Cruz one and the McGregor one.  There are also indepth breakdowns of Khabib and GSP.  Good stuff.

This is Gold. Where did you find this? This is the first time I've seen someone really breakdown DC's dirty boxing and it made me appreciate his versatility even more. I agree that he will rely on his wrestling more than his boxing for the third fight and will probably win by submission.

Edit:  The BJJ Scout vid is really good.  Watch eeet!

McGregor is just taunting Manny Pacquiao and aiming a publicity stunt with his tweets but there is no official answer that it will really happen, and Dana White doesn't really care at all, but as many fans would really love to see this fight there are still that thinks Conor McGregor is not qualified in fighting Pacquiao because of the previous fights he had with Mayweather, I would rather love to see Pacman moves on to higher Division but it is surely up to him if he can still go up a notch than fighting Conor McGregor.




Sean O'Malley had a good record both in his Amateur Career that has 9 fights that only has 2 losses and on his Mixed Martial Art Record that now has 12 matches, even though he is just a recent fighter on UFC I think he fits the bill for a shot for the belt in the future.

Sean O'Malley is a striker. It might be a knockout or a decision. Also, his only win by submission was on 2015 when he was not in the UFC. However, he can be lucky. Darren Stewart has won his only victory by submission only this Sunday hehehehe.

@yazher. It might only be a commercial with him and Pacman for Proper 12 hehe.

It was on the news here in the Phillipines and after seeing that I was shocked that McGregor is not done yet in fighting professional boxers and fighting them in their forte like the last time he fights with Mayweather, I am thinking that Conor McGregor is only aiming for the money because of the fight.

I thought this was just a fan made days ago I saw it on my FB news feed. I never though McGregor would gonna try his luck with our national fist. I just can't see this fight is going to happen though. since money is not gonna aim for huge threshold when he is fighting. He only fight those kids who's career are rising who dreamed to beat him someday like Thurman did. I mean they're fight with McGregor is meaningless since Manny is not a trash talker like Floyd.

Havent seen such an interesting main card for a long time.

My predictions are. Miocic wins by decisions and we see again tears in DC eyes. This is going to be last fight in DC career, right?
O'Malley submits Vera. And Rozenstruik TKO dos Santos.

Btw, can someone explain why Sean O'Malley is already top14 Bantamweight with only 3 fights in UFC against not higher than his rank fighters and with not extraordinary record ? It is like he fighting guys that are weaker than he, but advances in ranking.

As expected for Derrick Lewis that he would sure win this fight but I am still pissed for what he did on Aleksei Oleinik's food, and still wish that Oleinik can give him a beating but as expected for Lewis, anyway I wish there would be a rematch but I think that Derrick Lewis will keep on forwarding and looking for his next opponent to settle another win.

Ugh...  Bad card for me.  And the bad thing is the next event looks chalky.  I think I should revert back to doing just a couple of picks but higher bets per card than going for volume.  Oh well...  On to the next.

Good betting day in UFC for me.
Derrick Lewis won against Aleksei Oleinik in secong round by TKO and it was well deserved victory.
Beneil Dariush also won easy in first round.

RESULTS:
Derrick Lewis def. Aleksei Oleinik via second-round TKO (punches)
Chris Weidman def. Omari Akhmedov via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-28)
Darren Stewart def. Maki Pitolo via first-round submission (guillotine)
Yana Kunitskaya def. Julija Stoliarenko via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27)
Beneil Dariush def. Scott Holtzman via first-round knockout (punch)
Tim Means def. Laureano Staropoli via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Kevin Holland def. Joaquin Buckley via third-round knockout (punch)
Nasrat Haqparast def. Alexander Munoz via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Andrew Sanchez def. Wellington Turman via first-round TKO (punches)
Gavin Tucker def. Justin Jaynes via third-round submission (rear naked choke)
Youssef Zalal def. Peter Barrett via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27)
Irwin Rivera def. Ali Al Qaisi via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

With his TKO win, Derrick Lewis now holds the UFC record for most KO in heavyweight (11). He was a bit lucky to have survived the submission attempts by Aleksei Oleinik late in round 1.

Criticisms were once again thrown at referee Herb Dean for allegedly stopping the fight a little to late. What's your view on that? I thought it was a fair stoppage.

Good on Weidman to snap out of his losing record. Need to work on gas tank though.
