GDT: UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Brady

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I’ve faded Holland against De Ridder and Dolidze but I don’t think I can fade him here. Nelson is much smaller than those 2 guys and I think Holland will be fighting like he has something to prove. I like that it’s at WW for him

I think Thainara wrestlef***s Molly

I like Brady in the main event, might get around to a sub prop

I'll believe it when it happens
He’s a different guy at 170 in terms of seriousness, I think it’s because he has to stay in shape and be consistently training at the gym. You don’t see him get ragdolled at 170. He’s way too small to compete at 185 against grapplers (both of the most recent losses had fought at 205 before)

I think he’s only an underdog because he’s cost a bunch of ppl money in his recent fights and that’s what they remember. But Nelson hasn’t fought in 2 years, is old, and hasn’t fought anybody as dangerous as Holland in 6 years

Molly retires, which feels about right. 1-4 in her last 5 losing to some really bad competition including a debuting fighter on a weeks notice tonight. You just can't lose to cuspy fighters like Brasil and Stoliarenko then do this with a newcomer. At least she made a name for herself and made some money but she's right, she's just not good enough.
 
Weird end to the first round, Gunnar clearly thought the round was over at the 10 second sound, dropped his hands as if it was over and then got absolutely rocked. Then Holland landed a huge ground strike after the horn. Just as we thought though, length is a huge issue for Gunnar.
 
He just loves to fight and doesnt need to cut to 185.

I gotta respect that, hes more about the money than the belts.
Well more clearly he loses at middleweight and wins at welterweight. He has what, 1 win at middleweight vs a guy with a losing record who Holland had a 7 inch reach advantage over? Every UFC contract pays more to win fights, so he might as well fight at welterweight and win, rather then fight at middleweight and lose.

IM RICH BABY IM RICH

Hit on Holland ML, Thainara by sub, and Brady by sub
 
I’m def gonna watch the LFA card too

Joe Giannetti fighting on it, he beat my friend a couple weeks ago in a tourney with a D’arce. I am also friends w his cousin.

An-Tuan Ho returns after getting viciously KO’d by Lone’er on contender series. Fitting he competes on the same day Lone’er picks up his 2nd UFC win (I had dos Santos +3.5 :))

Onto next week’s research (just based on initial gut instincts I parlayed CeeRod and Mederos, who knows though I might back out of it)

Brady vs Buckley would be a good #1 contender match.
I like the fight but don't think it would make sense for Brady. He is probably #1 already, he just beat Leon who is the current #1 welterweight. Buckley is 5 spots behind at #6. The guys in between are Usman, #3 with 3 consecutive losses, JDM #4 getting a title shot in a couple months, and Shavkat #2 who is injured. Until Shavkat recovers Brady is the #1 contender and the only top 5 option who would be a reasonable title challenger. It would almost be silly for him to accept a Buckley fight since it's all risk with no gain but it would be a good fight for the UFC to make. Headline a fight night, build their brands before a title fight. Just don't think it's worth the risk for Brady.
