This card is stacked.

Maia/Brown might be my favourite fight and it's on the prelims.

+1, and Patrick Cummins / Little Nog on Fight Pass? Wow. Anderson Silva not even the co-main event looks absurd.

Werdum, Jacare and Hall.

 

[kurt]

This event gives 200 a run for its money. Can't wait.

 

[Jasper]

Yup, great card. I've never seen Cyborg fight but looking forward to it.

 

[Jasper]

Silva - Hall odds are basically even. I like Hall but that seems crazy.

 

[Ivan13]

Ajde Stipe!

Silva - Hall odds are basically even. I like Hall but that seems crazy.

A few of the lines were very surprising to me. I know Anderson is a shell of his former self, but he still should be at least -200 against Hall. Werdum is only -150. That should be over -200 as well IMO. Then Jacare is -300 against Vitor. That's way too high. Far too good of a chance that Vitor catches him before he tires and the fight goes to the ground. Those odds should be significantly closer, especially since it's only a three rounder.

 

[Sheppy]

I would put a lot of cash on Hall.

 

[Avs_19]

Anderson is off the card with a medical issue. He might need gall bladder surgery.

Terrible news!

 

[MD thaivuN]

Rob Font vs John Lineker is going to be bananas

This is what you get for derailing the Sagetrain, you get to fight a destroyer in Warlley Alves

 

[Avs_19]

That was pretty cool. Lil Nog with a 1st round TKO win.

Now Lineker vs Font. I'm excited for this one.

 

[darko]

What a stacked card.

 

[Avs_19]

That was all Lineker.

 

[dss97]

Lineker is as game as hell. I love watching that guy fight.

 

[darko]

Hands of stone.

Some wicked body punches by Lineker.

 

[Avs_19]

This is a crazy fight. Medeiros looked done in the first round. I think he still might need a finish though.

Now Trinaldo just completely took over once again. I have no idea how Medeiros is still standing or why Dan hasn't stopped this yet.

 

[darko]

Crazy fight. Both fighters looked done at one point. Medeiros has some chin, geez.

 

[Jasper]

I don't know how that guy is still awake, holy crap.

 

[dss97]

That should have been stopped. Medeiros couldn't even stand when he got up. He's tough though.

 

[Avs_19]

That went as expected.

 

[m9]

That went as expected.

Yup.

I would say Nate is done, but I said that after the Gastelum fight and he proved me wrong.

 

[Killahpunk]

Maia subs Brown.

 

[darko]

Brown had nothing.
