It was a good card for those who wagged for the underdogs as all the underdogs won the fights except of Mark Hunt and i did lose almost all of the bets except for the Woodley Thompson fight and glad i could recover all my loss in the match with Woodley. It was a really close and boring fight but i scored the fight for Woodley and he won my majority decision.

I think it can go either way. The inexplicable hesitance on the part of both
fighter made it a difficult bout to score because its hard to predict what
the judges seeing because of close rounds. I scored the fight for WonderBoy
anyways, and yeah it was a boring fight. One of the worst championship
fight I ever seen. It was painful to see them in the ring as no one want's to commit.
I wish Khabib vs Ferguson was not cancelled, Oh well!!

Yeah. The the event just went to the crapper the moment Khabib vs Ferguson was cancelled. I didn't even bother watching the fight on PPV. I might watch the replay tomorrow tho just for the sake of it. The Vannata vs Teymur result is interesting. I wanna see if Vannata is overrated, so definitely watching the replay of that one.

This is a disaster, Khabib Nughmberiob or whatever its called im too lazy too look it up, is not going to fight against Ferguson. The Tony Ferguson fight was the fight that I wanted to see because I wanted to see Connor fight the winner of this fight, I hate that we will probably never see it now, Khabib fucked big time!!! Im angry. If I bought the PPV I would be so fucking pissed.

Yes. Khabib did mess up at a time where the UFC are looking for a marketable fighter with potential to match with Conor McGregor. Tony Ferguson now has the call for the first shot at the lightweight title fight versus Conor. Tony should be happy. There was no need for him to fight before getting his shot.

Really disappointed that the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson is yet again cancelled,will we able to see this match at all.This fight is like Jones Vs Cormier where everyone wants to see the match but somehow the fight will be cancelled at the end.Hope they could fix everything and hope we could see this match as the main event in the next PPV .

The fight will be unlikely to happen in the future. Khabib will move up in weight definitely because he don't want to go to other issue like this one in the future. So we will not see the fight in the future.

Rumors of Kahib going to the hospital hours before weigh ins.
I hope the fight is not canceled.

That will be a disaster if the fight is cancelled after the hype and expectation and after two cancellations i hope the match will continue as scheduled as everyone is excited to watch this match,he has missed weight only once but if he misses weight this time he wont be able to win the belt which will hurt the co main event .I hope everything goes well.

It is cancelled in Nitrogensports. My bitcoins are back available for betting again. I speculate they are hiding the issue with Khabib's weight cutting problems. There were already rumors about it that started at the beginning of this week. He also knows he cannot win convincingly versus Tony.

It is now official that the fight against Khabib and Tony is cancelled because of medical conditions of Khabib. Really disappointed as this was the match i was looking for in a very long time and this is the third time the encounter between them is cancelled. Weight cutting is a huge issue in MMA and with no IV it is really difficult for fighters to regain their health in time for the fight and so is the reason they are doing early weigh ins and it is not about Khabib fearing Tony.

Its kinda suck. I was also disappointed for the match being cancelled. I'm also looking for this fight
and waiting for it a long time. I guess what's important is health comes first that's why they
cancelled the fight. And I think if Khabib continues with the fight, he will lose it anyway
because of weight issues. I thinking pointing fingers will begin as who is to blame for this.
I read that Tony Ferguson was offered a replacement to fight Michael Johnson but turn it down.

Huge respect for Tony Ferguson for wishing good luck for Khabib Nurmagomedov ,what i heard is that the doctors did not clear him to fight in this event and Dana White is blaming his team for not informing the UFC doctors before hand so that they could have saved the card,really disappointed with the scrap.

True. Well this card just sucked. I'm actually more interested in Khabib vs Ferguson as the event came closer and closer. I don't think I'm watching this live. I don't care anymore.

Anyway, here the weigh-ins.

Tyron Woodley (170) vs Stephen Thompson (169)
Rashad Evans (185) vs Daniel Kelly (186)
David Teymur (156) vs Lando Vannata (156)
Mark Hunt (265) vs Alistair Overeem (256)
Luis Henrique (248.5) vs Marcin Tybura (251.5)
Mirsad Bektic (145) vs Darren Elkins (145.5)
Iuri Alcantara (135.5) vs Luke Sanders (135)
Mark Godbeer (241.5) vs Daniel Spitz (240)
Paul Craig (204) vs Tyson Pedro (205)
Cynthia Calvillo (115.5) vs Amanda Cooper (116)
Albert Morales (135.5) vs Andre Soukhamthath (136)

Here's the video.

It is time to see one of the best fight cards after UFC 205 and i hope there is no late termination of matches or any injuries .
My main card prediction for Woodley Vs Thomspson ,i am going with Woodley to win the match as i think he won the last time around.
Khabib Vs Tony, i have no clue how this match goes,my heart says Khabib but my mind says Tony will submit him on the ground,so really interested to see how this match takes place and then Mark Hunt Vs Overeem, i would go with Hunt as Overeem does have a weak chin.

Here's a teaser of what's coming this weekend.

UFC 209: Media Day Faceoffs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvVdWChdAYE

What I like about when fighters faceoff is you see where their mental conditioning is at. You sometimes also get an idea of who has the edge that can't be seen when looking at a fighter's statistical record. Like in that video, you can see that Woodley and Thompson are trying to relax, they don't want to deal with the emotion head on but instead they try to hide it. For me that might mean that this fight will be EXACTLY like the last fight. Very close, no real commitment from either fighter and it could go either way.

Hello people. Lots of videos to watch in the coming days before the fight to help you guys decide who to bet on and of course, to get you excited and pumped for the event.

First off, a replay of one of Tony Ferguson's fights. This is a really good one so watch it carefully.

UFC 209 Free Fight: Tony Ferguson vs Josh Thomson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghx8ZObU4dk

There's also the UFC Vlog series which never fails to help you get into the fighter's POV and all that. It kinda hyped the event, but whatever...

UFC 209 Embedded: Vlog Series - Episode 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU0LxV9PpCM

And I'll let you in a little secret. I always look forward to coach Zahabi's analysis before the all UFC events if they're available. In case you don't know who he is, he's the master at Tristar Gym. He trained GSP, Rory MacDonald and all the up and coming fighters up there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLNxuLk-2Ew

Oh and I have been recently following krach's YT channel. He give good analysis and is a winner in betting these matches. His picks usually win. So always be on the look out if uploads something new.

Maybe I should wait for the weigh in and the fighters facing each other before I make a bet for El Cucuy. I cannot gauge how really confident he is vs Khabib. There is a reason behind why Khabib is the favorite for the sportsbooks.

Only four days away.

Excited to see Thompson vs Woodley and Khabib vs Ferguson.

Those are some epic showdowns in the making.

I think there's a bellator event on march 3rd, the day before Thompson vs Woodley also.

It is Khabib time and Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson should be the main event and why should they stack this as a co main event. Khabib has more fans than anyone else in the UFC and he is undefeated and he should be given the main event spot rather than the co main spot. They might be thinking bigger man the better and went with Woodley and Thompson which is another great fight. Cheesy
