smitlick Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 McCall/Lineker is the only fight I'm interested in sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm excited for Thomas de Almeida's UFC debut. If he stays upright, he might take Tim Gorman to the woodshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm pumped for both. Thomas has been on a tear on the smaller shows for a while now and he's still relatively young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm picking OSP to destroy Shogun. Shogun is too inconsistent with his performance to give me faith in picking him to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 St. Preux is pretty damn inconsistent himself. He can handle guys like Krylov and people who work on an Alaskan oil rig like TJ Cook. But guys semi-decent will always give him trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 In a surprise to no one, John Lineker missed weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Still has time to make it if he chooses to reweigh. Anyway, one day people will realize I actually bother to watch weigh-ins for the event threads. One day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Lineker has made the weight at 126. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Francimar "Bodao" received his show money since he lost out on the OSP fight. He also weighed in just in case one of the main eventers falls out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ian McCall has fallen ill and may not be able to fight tomorrow night. The decision will be made in the morning on whether he can fight or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Speaking of inconsistency... It seems like Ian gets injured every time he has a fight scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thomas de Almeida will either be slightly better Edson Barboza with better cardio or a legit top BW within 2 or 3 years. It is only either/or. No in between if he stays with his current camp. You see the potential and also the several mistakes he makes. The learning curve inside the UFC is going to be quite interesting to follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Watched part of the first round of Rivas/Rubio and it was bad enough I turned away from it. Not really surprising though as most of these Latin American guys haven't really developed that much as fighters despite the amount of fights on their records.

Elsalvajeloco Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Rodolfo Rubio might (and should) get cut on the bus trip back to the fighter hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 And I gave up on this card thanks to the aforementioned fight and Ju Thai/Ansaroff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I would like to say that this proves that Shogun should give it up but since the UFC has to promote these useless Fight Night shows I am sure they will drag him out there for another slaughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I don't think I've ever seen more depressed after a fight than I am right now. Shogun needs to retire, he turned into Mr. Magoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 OSP!!! Where was that guy when he fought Bader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well, Bader was smart enough to not leap headlong into punches like he did against Machida and Glover and do what Shogun did tonight. Sometimes, you need a few wakeup calls (or brief in-cage power naps) to get the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 That is officially the fastest Shogun has been KO'd in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Goodnight sweet prince Shogun. May hosts of angels sing you to sleep. Time for Shogun to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitlick Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Does this loss mean he definitely doesn't fight Silva after TUF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I believe it was posted before on here that they were not going to be fighting each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
