Rothwell is garbage but JDS is on an epic downswing, Overeem was in the exact same position JDS is now, he is given a shitty striker that he is supposed to beat, but he fought tentative and bad overall with a weak chin and got caught and I think JDS will do the exact same thing.

I think maybe you could've fit in more generic overstatements in the space of apparently one sentence. Actually nah that would've been kinda difficult |

Pretty thin card but I guess some fun fights which is all you can ask for in fight night cards
Like JDS but prob won't bet or just be small on him. Going to be on Lewis and Cummings...though I thought Cummings would've been given a bit more generous odds against someone like Dalby |

I don't think it's fair to say JDS has a weak chin yet. He's only really been knocked out once, by a shot that knocks out just about anyone in the world.
That said he's taken so much damage I wouldn't be surprised if that shot it was what cracks it. |

It's definitely a favorable match up for JDS. Rothwell is a big, lumbering oaf with terrible striking defense and no wrestling game to speak of. And I don't think people will be getting caught by that choke anymore now that they're training/looking for it.
But Rothwell does have a concrete block for a head and hands and it's a 5 round HW fight.
Favor jds a little, but not a lot. |

Utter trash card unless you like watching horrible hw's but hey, a lot of people do
Rothwell vs jds - pk
Lewis > gonzaga
Ngannau > blaydes
Tybura > Johnson
Blach > pokrajac
Moroz vs random - prolly moroz but no clue who random is
Dalby > Cummings - Hope the over is bettable
Taisumov > Hadzovic
Entwistle vs Perez - pk
Staziac is utter trash but dunno his opponent
Whiteford vs martins - pk
Cannonier > Asker
On the bright side with the addition of cyborg 198 looks like the deepest card in a hot minute and obv jones/Cormier and Ferguson/khabib coming up before than |

I'm passed the point where I feel the need to follow every single MMA event so free fights are just like a bonus for when I'm bored or at the casino. |

Well maybe not jones vs dc because jones clearly has a mental problem. It's unreal at this point. |

Would still be entertaining to see Jones off drugs and alcohol, he s gonna be in beast mode
The drag incident is just w/e, unless they blow it out of proportion |

Drag incident would be completely w/e (still is to me and most people obviously) if not for the fact that it's a little disturbing he's still showing a ridiculous level of apathy in any of his outside the cage decision making. I would say...man...can't he just go train like crazy, which he clearly always does, then just go home and do his blow to let off steam. But I guess not so much this time around. Really kind of a shame that arguably the greatest fighter of our time is a bit of a mental midget in a few ways (not at all once in the cage...feel like his physical skills override some credit he should be receiving for how physically and mentally tough he actually is when fighting). Though honestly, I kinda like this version of Jones. Definitely infinitely better than his former, upcoming persona of being a fake humble Christian while in actuality, being a gigantic prick

Plus the fact that when you are on probation and get arrested it's supposed to be more serious regardless of the offense. I'm guessing he skates but I dunno for sure.
The thing that pisses me off is people in the media who put pressure on the UFC to give him tough love or some stupid shit when they obviously SHOULD act in their own interest. |

Do you notice you tend to follow anyone at all in the media in particular in terms of opinionated stuff? I read a lot of mma headlines because usually I have no life but I've learned to just subconsciously block out almost all subjective garbage that's generally written on the major sites as I sift through the headlines. When they actually do real journalism work and go interview fighters at their camp or something, it's cool...but somehow pretty rare. I generally like Ben Fowlkes on mmajunkie. He tries hard to be funny though so maybe not everyone's cup o tea |

You and prob 99.8% of ppl who care to watch two dudes get paid to fight each other. But fighters are still getting suspended here and there for some of them marijuana metabolites so.. |
