UFC 230: Cormier vs. Lewis - November 3 (OFFICIAL DISCUSSION)

UFC 230: Cormier vs. Lewis
November 3, 2018
Madison Square Garden
New York, New York

Main Card:
Daniel Cormier vs. Derrick Lewis
Chris Weidman vs. Ronaldo Souza
Jared Cannonier vs. David Branch
Karl Roberson vs. Jack Marshman
Derek Brunson vs. Israel Adesanya

I have
Cormier
Weidman
Branch 
Marshman
Brunson.

I don't know who most of these guys are, but I'll take Cormier and Souza.

Maybe I'll add more predictions later.

I think Lewis has very little chance. But it'd be good to seem him win, if only just to fuck up the UFC apple cart again.

It would be a pretty big upset if Lewis could pull this out. He has a puncher's chance in the fight so you never know. I think Cormier will wear him down quick and finish him off in the 3rd.

That's right.  This is a definite step up in competition for Israel.  I think he might pull off the upset.

Fuck i did bad i only got one . 
1 i wonder how long til dc is the goat or goat heavyweight
2 "what happened to weidman is one of those guys who just peaked too early or just bad style match up ironically he is 0-4 against former strike force guys, but but the ufc guys are like super beings
3 to be honest i didn't really care for those 2
4 israel if he can 2 or 3 more in the top*5 he might be staring at a title shot.
5 if Robert is still the champion and israel becomes the number one contender that fight has to be held in either new Zealand or Australia.
6 man i don't know who but i read some where if i can find it i will link the page anyway the tone of some people that they reckon jon jones is a better striker than Israel, ha ha ha 4 kick boxing championship Jones 0.
I was going to explain why Israel is a way better striker than Jones i thought no because i will be there all fucking afternoon trying to explain it to them.

It is kind of like the k1 vs mma striking and that they think mma guys are better strikers no I'm not kidding, there is all hole in that logic both overeem and mousasi come from a striking background .

With mma realistically only a few can really do it all, isn't it amazing the zombies say zabit doing flashy shit oh this is new ah no not really go watch a Sanda match or wushu match or a pure muay thai match.

Remember when i said if dc wins they will be saying he is the greatest heavyweight of all time well i was right wow one title defence and that is all it takes for these people. They are that desperate to have only ufc fighters in a goat list. They pretty threw stipe out by the way side Tim Sylvia defended the belt more times than dc . As for fedor we you know prime dc smashes prime fedor why.... Dc is in the ufc and fedor was too scared yes that's it oh and he lost to Hendo and dc beat hendo so gotta throw in some mma maths in there too.

Wait, I thought Stipe was the greatest heavyweight of all time? I thought by breaking the record, he became the GOAT. Seriously, can these zombies ever make up their mind? Then again, I've heard call this a joke fight and a money grab.

I know especially since we always hear those guys are greater heavyweights than what fedor ever was.

It is only heavyweight that gets that he is the goat heavyweight over fedor after 1,2,3 defences you don't see people saying Robert Whitaker is the goat middle weight or Henry ceudo is goat fly weight. Or today's heavyweight boxing champion is greater than Ali.

After all Ali was heavyweight champion about 40 years ago people still say he is the greatest. Mma fans have a very short memory .

Nice breakdown. DC was impressive as usual. He looks much better at HW. I hope the Lesnar fight gets done.

What a fight between Jacare and Weidman. Both fighters did great. The only thing that sucked was to see one of them lose.

Israel was real impressive stopping the take downs and then finishing the fight in the 1st.

Yeah, of course they mention him as GOAT. He is on the GOAT list somewhere behind Jon Jones. I would put him at about number 5 GOAT or so.

Yeah, they make no sense. At least it is a Strikeforce fighter they are talking about.

Isn't it interesting how they still bring up Fedor and dump the fighters they previously bestowed the heavyweight goat status to? They were saying Stipe was the best less than a year ago and now he's forgotten. Cain was considered the goat five years ago and now they're like "Cain who?". Unbelievable. With fans like these.
