UFC FN 105: Lewis vs. Browne - Page 2

I heard Browne will be leaving Edmond's once that Rousey money starts to dry up. Savvy business decision imo

Travis Browne (241) vs. Derrick Lewis (262)
Johny Hendricks (185.5) vs. Hector Lombard (182)
Sam Sicilia (144) vs. Gavin Tucker (145)
Cezar Ferreira (186) vs. Elias Theodorou (185.5)
Gina Mazany (139.5*) vs. Sara McMann (135)
Paul Felder (155) vs. Alessandro Ricci (156)
Santiago Ponzinibbio (170) vs. Nordine Taleb (171)
Carla Esparza (116) vs. Randa Markos (116)
Reginaldo Vieira (136) vs. Aiemann Zahabi (135)
Jack Marshman (184) vs. Thiago Santos (186)
Ryan Janes (185.5) vs. Gerald Meerschaert (185)


Only one fighter came in heavy, and she accepted her fight on just two weeks notice. Gina Mazany weighed in at 139.5 lbs for her bout against Sara McMann, and she will forfeit 20% of her purse to McMann.

Bellator 172 tonight (Saturday). UFC tomorrow (Sunday).

Solid bellator card. I'm fine with Fedor losing, just hoping he doesn't get destroyed. Him winning impressively would be awesome.

JT vs Freire is a great fight too. I expect JT to win but he's pretty inconsistent.

Had leftover money on Bovada. Going to let it all ride on iamkims picks.

Seems like a poor idea

Especially since you picked Esparza to beat Mazany.

Yea just a brain fart while typing. Meant Esparza > Markos obv and I'm going to be on Esparza as a parlay with Ponz. I don't see how shitty Markos stops Esparza's TD's or gets anything done unless the Joanna beatdown really took Esparza's soul

Added Theodoro by decision as well. Not so confident about Lombard anymore but whatever at least the fight should be fun. If Hendricks really is going to be better at 185, Lombard's forever gas tank problems are kind of a worry. Also liked what Dom Cruz had to say about this fight in the weigh-in video. Funny though that even though he did look better on the scale, he still had a bit of a surprise relief look when he was announced as on weight

Too bad for Bellator. The event went from at least some entertainment potential to basically unwatchable imo. And too bad for Mitrione who may have lost his winning lottery ticket. Though I don't feel too badly for him since I find him to be pretty unlikeable

My mistake. Have Bellator on in the background and well, watching Koscheck get wrecked was a little entertaining. And this random women's fight between fighters with like a combined three professional fights was surprisingly entertaining in a low level but lots of heart kinda way

On February 15 2017 04:38 soberstone wrote: Really awful main card match-up wise, some snooze-material to follow-up 208 seems to be OTW..... I do like a couple of the early prelims, Janes vs Maerschart, Marshman vs Santos, and Ricci vs Felder should be fun to watch with Maerchart and Marshman being the 2 guys with the highest ceilings. Last event I didn't post, but I lost, first losing event in a long time unless I'm blanking. Picks: Lewis > Browne - Can't be confident but I don't see why the chin and cardio edges (yes, his cardio is actually pretty decent for his size) wouldn't be enough to finish Browne who is worthless after a couple of big exchanges. Hendricks > Lombard - Hendricks that fought Gastellum in retrospect doesn't seem too bad considering what Kelvin just did to Kennedy. Also thought he passed the eye test in that fight. The Magney fight I thought he won, but he didn't pass the eye test in that one (looked like shit)..... meanwhile Lombard's awful cardio and slow pace actually seem to play really nicely for Hendricks who folds to pace and pressure. Lombard's chin also seems to be shot looking back to the Hendo KO - he was getting rocked easy in that fight. Everyone seems to be on Lombard here, so it makes sense that the line moved with it opening at a pickem. Sicilia > Tucker - Tucker guy looked awful on tape. Last random new guy I watched with so little tape was Nico Price, and he made me look stupid, so well see. Theodoro > Ferreria - Such a stereotypical "Fighter A needs an early KO or Fighter B has it" scenario McMann > Mazany Ponz > Taleb - Taleb is a good all-around fighter, but not very good at any single thing. Perfect fighter to make Ponz look very good while still being competitive and fun. Esparza > Markos - Both of these fighters stocks are far lower than they were when that season of TUF ended, but particularly Markos who never got better at anything and was supposed to be green coming off the show. Zahabi vs Vieira - Dunno Santos > Marshman - I like Marshman a lot and think he could crack the top 15 at some point possibly, but this is a great stylistic matchup for Santos who should be at a huge advantage at distance via kicks and footwork. In order to win, Marshman will need to be willing and able to pressure and eat some early shots. Felder > Ricci - Felder via close decision seems like an inevitability. Ricci seems like a shittier version of Felder to me. Maerschardt > Janes - Both guys super durable and good on the ground but only 1 of them is a fluid striker + Maerschardt is far more experienced in general. Volkanovski vs Quinones - Dunno

hendricks line is moving doen. should have picked some.

Nice uppercut by Patricky to finish Thomson.

Thomson's TD attempt looked kinda weird, imo. He dropped down in a straight line, then shot forward, which gave Patricky enough time to time the uppercut.

Pretty sure he was legit hurt from the accidental clash of heads in the exchange right before and that TD attempt was out of a little hazy instinct. Unfortunate for him but Patricky looked sharp anyways

Actually hedged out of Lombard. And will miss the fights anyways. Forgot about NBA all star game. Out to watch that instead. Hopefully I can get back to watch the black beast do his thing. Or get front kicked to the face by Browne

Oh and Browne apparently trained with Ray Sefo for this camp tho he still says he's with Tarvedyan as well. Probably going back to a more kick heavy approach though it may not show right away. Probably would be good for him against Lewis though

My DK teams:

Lewis, Lombard, Marshman, McMann, Taleb, Zahabi ($27)
Lewis, Lombard, Marshman, McMann, Taleb, Zahabi (Sherdog MMA)


My final picks:

• Lewis > Browne
• Lombard > Hendricks
• Tucker > Sicilia
• Ferreira > Theodorou
• McMann > Mazany
• Taleb > Ponzinibbio
• Esparza > Markos
• Zahabi > Vieira
• Marshman > Santos
• Ricci > Felder (split-decision)
• Meerschaert > Janes

What a BULLSHIT stoppage...

Marshman wasn't out, and he was still trying to defend himself. Fucking bullshit...
