UFC 189: McGregor vs. Mendes - Page 7

This card takes place tomorrow in Las Vegas. It's part of UFC Fight Week, which starts with Invicta FC on Thursday, UFC 189 on Saturday, and then TUF 21 Finale on Sunday.

Naz, haven't heard a peep out of you about the fights, who you got ?

I have $375 on Rory at -150 and $540 on Thatch at -180. Happy with both the lines are similar or a little worse. As much as I think Robbie Lawler is awesome I just don't think he has a well rounded enough skillset for a fighter like Macdonald. Their first fight I thought Macdonald was a lot better than him already and he's gone through more improvement as well. The issue was cardio and I don't think that will play a role this time. Thatch is just a monster and Nelson is overrated for 170 as he is just too small to compete. It's similar to the Henderson fight where Thatch is just going to outsize him by so much.

As for the main event I'm just going to sit back and enjoy. No clue

Aaaand I just bruised a rib so yeah I'm glad Aldo withdrew from the fight, he would've gotten crushed no doubt about it

Woot just got into Vegas, definitely gonna hit weigh-ins tomorrow, hopefully come up on some poker tonight.

Invicta FC starts at 8pm PST in Las Vegas. Tickets are probably inexpensive at this point.

I think Nelson is overrated too, but Thatch although aggressive seems a little too wild to me to want to lay a big bet on him

Awesome stuff here. Love these nuanced break-downs.

Wow. I guess I'm playing psychologist here but that was way too easy to get into Mendes's head. He looked genuinely pissed at the conference. Does noone learn?

Getting in the head of someone is usually vastly overrated. Only time it matters is if the other fighter is a complete tard. Plenty of people got in GSPs head and pissed him off.

I don't think Mendes is gonna veer from his game plan because of trash talk.

Mendes is kind of a dick, hope mcgregor wins.

McGregor has much more to lose here. If he wins he can shut all the people saying he got the easy way to the top and gain their respect, if he loses however all of his hype instantly gets washed away

I can't believe they fed him to Mendes.

Not saying he isn't but I'm just not aware of it; what has Mendes done that makes him a dick?

You mean Mendes is acting out of character obv cuz he can't take all this pre fight hype.
