Edwards is a technical fighter. He definitely has the striking skills to go toe-to-toe with RDA.
I think RDA has not been that impressive as of late and that probably made him the underdog in this fight.
Leon Edwards is basically a good striker and if you look at the career of Rafaeldos Anjos he usually fights well against strikers and he will be good at ground game against strikers, Rafaeldos Anjos usually struggles against good wrestlers and most of his defeats are against well versed wrestlers who could control him on the ground, i am betting for Rafaeldos Anjos to win the fight against Edwards.

«Heavyweight:  Andrei Arlovski vs Ben Rothwell»
If Im not mistaken, they have already meet before and Andrei (when he was in his best shape)  was a victorious via KO.
This gonna be a good fight and for Ben an opportunity to win this rematch.
Andrei Arlovski should retire from the sport and he won that fight ten years back during his prime days and now Ben Rothwell will be a tall order and i expect Ben to win this win.

Yes you are true that AA defeated BEN with a round 3 knock out but this was more then 11 years ago!
This contest wasnt even in the ufc so it might have been a smaller promotion that did not take care of its fighters back then like UFC does today
I would be nervous to bet on the 40 year old man from Belarus- who is 2-9 in his last 11 fights with many coming from being stopped

RDA vs Edwards this weekend guys...  I have no idea why RDA is the slight underdog but I took it at 2.11ish at FJ.  Smiley  I don't think Edwards is ready for anybody vs the top 5 WW, judging from his last bout.

^  Early stoppage imho.  I would've wanted to see more. 

Yep, both main events were stopped too early.
Not saying Simon or Ladd could have gotten back into their fights but still...
It was nice seeing Urijah back after a 3 year hiatus. Simon made a rookie mistake going all in right from the start against a much more experienced fighter.

@Saint-loup ~ Aw, you're right on your prediction mate! De Randamie won by TKO against Ladd. However, I just felt that it was a very early stoppage, I mean yeah De Randamie landed a very strong puch which knocked down Ladd but I do believe that she can hang on. IMO that was a bad stoppage coming from Dean, I was a little upset for that.

Thank you to highlight it bro  Wink Yes I think de Randamie is physically above this young baby face lady.
Be carefull, in the women division,  arbitration is different. And frequently women are stopped while there are still standing.
I don't know if there are specific rules for the TKO for her, but at least the arbitration is not the same.

Herb Dean prolly thought the bad weight cut made Ladd go down easy so he had to get in and stop it...?  Dunno.  And Ladd is still kinda raw anyway (but talented).  She'll get back for sure.

The IRON LADY does it again.  Ladd looked SCARED in the cage lol, im sure she will grow from this though.


Ryan Hall, BOOM hahah this guy is great. It will be interesting to see him fight against someone from the top of the rankings and see if anyone can find a solution to his style. I also would not be suprised if we see a few people use a few of his moves. For example windmill kick to double leg takedown.

I really like Aspen Ladd to win the fight because of her looks but again this is a competition of punches, kicks, and strength but if this is a beauty contest the result might be different, but I guess the odds are with Germaine De Randamie when she has her way with Aspen Ladd in a fast 16 second match, We can see from the match that Aspen really don't stand a chance against De Randamie, But even if Aspen lost in this fight she is still gorgeous for me and a winner in my heart!  Grin

The other exciting match of the night was Faber v.s. Simon. The Hall of Famer proved us once again that he really deserve tto become one. Simon got KO in just 46 sec. Wow Shocked. He only show that he is not only a deadly submissioner but also a ferocious striker.
This was the match I was looking forward to from the card. Faber didn't disappoint! He's already known to be a well rounded guys. I hope he gets to set up a fight with TJ Dillashaw soon. That would be a cracker  Cheesy

Everybody made weight.  So yeah...  All good.  Pretty uneventful, tho Ladd had the shakes during the official weigh ins (the vid below is the ceremonial weigh ins made for the fans and everybody else).

Im back, and I have two picks that I like for this card.


I like Ryan Hall a lot here, look Darren Elkins is tough as nails, he has "THE DAMAGE" tattoed on his chest ROFL.
Still he has not fought someone like Hall, in fact most people have not because Hall has such a strange style. I dont think
Hall will be able to knock out Elkins and that is good! Hall is going to submit this guy or we will have 3 boring rounds of Hall doing big
front kicks and throwing himself into the 50-50 guard and fustrating Elkins. Now the odds have moved and you can get some good value
Hall 2.11

I hope everyone saw the weigh in , my god did Aspn Ladd look like shit. She just looked unhealthy as all hell to be honest. Looked ok the next day
but to fight someone like Germainde De Randamie in her first main event, Germainde De Randamie is so much more experinced, been in the main event,
title shots and had zero trouble with weight cut. Great value De Randamie  2.29

I also like Pena to beat Montano at 1.51 and if you feel lucky the lotto underdog is Faber making his comeback at 3.85, if he was active I doubt the odds would be like that, lets see if he has what it takes.

Well she's cute but not muscular enough, de Randamie will destroy her imo.
Being more muscular would definitely dictate your chance of winning if you are in a body building contest but since they are competing in MMA then there's so many thing we should consider like the fighting style, combat skills and your fighting IQ as well. Have you watched Mir v.s. Lesnar and Miocic v.s. Cormier? The result of those matches proved us that size doesn't always matter Smiley.

As we look on their records, they got both 8 wins but Ladd never taste a loss in her career compared to de Randamie who got 3 losses already. Hmm, still a close match up, let's see who will win.
You're right but I don't think it's enough, de Randamie is a kickboxing undefeated champion, so it will be a hard fight.
