    4 yr ban likely. His team calling foul play. UFC must be gutted he’s the biggest draw they have.

    Diaz bros wont fight unless they get paid more, Stipe wont fight until he gets a new contract. Connor clearly fighting Mallinaggi next!

    Edit: I’ve also got the feeling GSP will be a damp squib.

    Never thought I’d say this but I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Obviously Jackson Wink are flying close to the wire regarding supplements but they’ve been adamant (and correct) pretty much every time one of their fighters gets popped.

    It beggars belief that he could be so stupid in the face of completely random testing.

    This is the dude who hit a pregnant lady in his car. Ran away, then ran back to grab ‘items’ from the car then legged it again.

    But even with that, I still struggle to see him being that stupid, especially given what has come before and the fact what he was popped for is apparently really easy to detect. You’d think if he was juicing he’d be on that top secret Lance Armstrong shit.

    The last time Nunes and Schevchenk fought was a pretty entertaing – hoping to see some Russian victory dancing.

    UFC 216. Any takers? I’ve got Werdum by submission, DJ by tko and Tony Ferguson by TKO at 37.9 – 1 on an accumulator. Anyone else watching?

    I’ll be catching up tomorrow as usual. Might catch the Fight Pass prelims.

    In just the fights I am interested in:

    Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee via RNC. Although Tony will probably just knock him out.
    Demetrious Johnson (c) vs. Ray Borg – Via submission.
    Fabrício Werdum vs. Derrick Lewis – Going for the Black Beast getting an uppercut in early.
    Bobby Green vs. Lando Vannata – Just because I find him an exciting fighter. Kick to the head.
    Walt Harris vs. Mark Godbeer – Only Brit fighting. So got to pull for him.

    Not that I am not interested in other fights, just don’t enough about who’s fighting.

    As an aside, the Bellator event from last night was quite entertaining. Will 100% be watching Mousassi’s first fight on the 20th.

    Holy shit Jamie I am 100% against your picks. Shall we both put a wee bit of money down with william hill for shits and giggles?

    Honestly, I am just ****ing about a bit.

    I imagine DJ will just hit Borg from a million different angles in the clinch.
    Werdum will go to work on the ground as Lewis cardio fades.
    Tony F will do some crazy 10th Planet shit and choke Kevin out.

    I still think my boy Groovy Lando will win.

    But fudge it. I’ll chuck a fiver on my original predictions.

    When the returns are like that, you know you’re in the wrong 😀

    Slightly conservatively I’ve gone for a treble

    TF KO
    FW Points
    DJ Points

    £10 gets £265 odd

    Also TF to win in round 3 at 9/1

    The elbow that broke Cowboys nose was a beast! Skip to 3 mins if you want to see the finish.

    Cerrone doesn’t like being pressed does he… Till looked awesome, like a bigger McGregor.

    UFC 217 this weekend.

    Most excited for Garbrant vs Dillashaw – remember being utterly blown away by the former’s performance against Cruz. I’ll be interested to see if Dillashaw can keep up his usual level of aggression while avoiding Garbrant’s power.

    I’ve got a very low level of investment in Bisping vs. St. Pierre, although this doesn’t mean that I don’t think it could possibly be fun. I just have very little desire to see St. Pierre looking diminished.

    Really interested to see Masvidal vs. Thompson – especially if the former can show the sort of form he did against Cerrone.

    Weirdly, I keep getting an inkling that Namajunas will upset Jedrzejczyk – this is based on literally nothing; she should be tailor-made for Joanna to take apart.

    I went from meh….to fully invested in the space of one day. There are some really excellent fights on this, as you say Masvidal v Thompson, my fellow Donegal man Joe Duffy v James Vick and Aimann Zahabi down there on the Fightpass prelim.

    I think Rose is such a cool customer it always appears she knows something. If she can get JJ onto the ground she can probably finish her but Joanna’s takedown defence is pretty good. Some of her jiu jitsu has looked a bit workmanlike though so I think if Rose can get her back in a scamble it could be lights out.

    I can see Bisping by decision or GSP by submission. Garbrandt by decision. Joanna by decision or tko with a slight chance of Rose getting a sub. I’d also stump for Mickey Gall and Aimann Zahabi by submission. . . maybe 😉

    Some interesting picks there Jamie 😀

    the full list of methods aren’t up yet so I can’t go full **** on the accumulators.

    I just put straight accumulator on. Not like I am in anyway correct.

    Well, I do feel GSP is going to sub Bisping.

    I am really interested in the Micky Gall fight, as this is kind of his first proper matchup. CM Punk was a joke, and I think Sage was thrown in there too early. Randy Brown has decent BJJ, trains at Matt Serra BJJ, so feel he will be the first dude Gall’s faced in the UFC who can match him on the ground.

    Yeah I feel as though if GSP does finish Bisping it’ll be by sub. He’s been working with Gordan Ryan, Garry Tonon etc for his camp so the impression certainly seems very bjj heavy. At least from social media. Apparently Bisping has a wrecked knee, and John Danaher etc specialise in leg locks, but they are difficult to pull off in mma, so I feel GSP may be looking for a leg lock to sweep and transition to the back.

    Mickey Gall also looks to have popped up with Firas/Danaher and he’s already a legit world class grappler. Dunno if he has his black belt yet but he’s black belt level. Randy Brown is a purple belt and I’m not sure if he’s on MG’s level grappling wise. I could see another rear naked choke.

    Speaking of rear naked chokes – had to share these. Only tenuously relevant but there might be one or two people here who’ll find them funny – from Because_jiujitsu on instagram. Combining two of my favourite things Rick and Morty and strangling people 😆

    I need a proof reader.

    Anyway, if we’re screen capping Instagram posts, this was just stupidly childish, I lol’d.

    😆 I didn’t see that. Bisping’s a funny guy.

    *I do think Sage was thrown in early,

    I need a proof reader.

    In terms of his jiu jitsi Mickey Gall is the real deal – he went to a decision in a competitive match with Gordon Ryan all the way back in 2015 so his grappling is world class. In terms of his overall mma game though it’s too early to say. I’m still favouring him for a win via rnc.

    I think he is only a brown belt at the mo.

    Awesome card, I cant remember a better set of match ups. I’ve got money on:
    Bisping by decision

    No you don’t. Just wait till I start drinking and doing mine. 60% of the time I get 90% of them right.

    And the other 40% of the time you get 100%?

    Heart says Rose head JJ.

    Cant see Cody losing but cant see TJ losing on points either (so Cody k.o?)

    Got a feeling wondrboy will win and think it’ll be on points.

    I’ll take your advice on the rest.

    Looked pretty average tonight. Should have had points taken for the fence grabs.

    That’s my accumulator ****.
