[jewseejay]

I'm irrationally excited. Taking my kids to the fair inna few hrs then takin my *** to bed I got to much to get done 2maro. Coronas, and liquor drinks flowing by 5pm Haha I'm tailgating in the man cave. Alrdy told my wife dont expect me to do nothing but maybe toss some steaks on the grill ‍

 

[bostoiah]

Idk why but I think Pettis pulls off the upset.

Really excited for this card...Costa and Romero gonna be ******* lit

 

[atransta]

No way Aldo making 135

 

[SORIANOTRON]

This would be my prediction if nate wasn’t coming off a 3 year layoff. But I do feel like he’s done this more than once. Now I think it’ll be a great fight especially since it’s a 3 round fight

Word. I expect a good fight either way.

The over/under on match time gotta be like 45 seconds for this one. Hope I'm wrong and it's a war.

 

[xbiker47]

Biggest gate in CA history and all metrics point to the main attraction as nate Diaz

Seems like he’s a bonafide draw

 

[spiderjericho]

Wish Pettis/Diaz was a five round slobber knocker.

Joe Silva a deustch. Glad he’s gone. And hope this contract nonsense opens some of the fighters eyes before they sign the dotted line.

 

[blackcease]

If it was 5 rounds I'd definitely put all my money on Nate. But In a 3 round fight, off a 3 year layoff?

Definitely gonna be interesting though

 

[spiderjericho]

I agree. He has been off for three years. Anthony has had maybe six fights I think (Max, Dustin, Jim Miller, Wonderboy, Chiesa, and Tony).

It’s not like Nate was setting the world on fire. The buzz was mainly due to being a good foil to McGregor.

But the Diaz’s have great cardio, good boxing and decent grappling.

Excited to see what happens.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Want to see them grapple

 

[Barbados Slim]

So ready for this card. I like everyone on the card so I'm not going for anyone. Just wanna see some battles. Even embedded has been really fun to watch.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Not mad that he wants a big payday but Nate Diaz has never taken anyone’s soul in his 30 fights

“I want the fights that will push me over the top,” Masvidal said. “The title for me means everything because I don’t have it, but Kamaru’s not like a dangerous dude. It’s not a fight that I’m scared to get hurt in. A guy like Nate, I know he’s going to try to rip my head off. He’s going to try to take my soul. So those big fights like that motivate me to work out, to get in there.”

 

[blackcease]

Translation: I want a winnable money fight against a guy I can stand and trade with vs getting wrestlef****ed.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Pettis to Romero: "How's Jorge? I was happy as **** when he won, even though Ben's my teammate"

Seeing all these greats in the same place from different weight classes always gets me. T City, Dom, Romero, DC, Stipe, Nate, Pettis etc

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The cut to 55 might have been a driving force behind Pettis' body language/"quitting" in past fights. He's been raving about how good he feels. 170 is probably still too big and 165 would be ideal... but it's just a thought

Breedgame should stand his ground and never fight again unless it’s a title shot or Conor

Call your shot

 

[QU!K]

You know what, I think Pettis might win tonight, he knocked out wonderboy last fight and nate has shown he can get wobbly in the Conor fights. He hasn’t got punched in the face for 3 years so his chin might be vulnerable

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

For me, it's a toss up. Pettis was getting handled (actually rather easily) before he caught Wonderboy. That layoff for Nate aint no joke though

Throw in that it's now at 170 and no draining cut....

 

[BobbyLite]

If it was 5 rounds I'd definitely put all my money on Nate. But In a 3 round fight, off a 3 year layoff?

Definitely gonna be interesting though

Yep. Why I’m taking Pettis. Nate gonna start slow and get cut early. By the time Nate starts picking up the pace fight will be almost over. Nate’s gonna have to start round 2 quick if it goes to decision

Bet more than half the guys fighting at 155/170 would agree with all of this. 165/175 divisions just make too much sense for them to do it

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I didn't think this was a serious thing

“I sat down with everybody, did a study, and I think there’s a real possibility I can make 61kg [135 pounds],” Aldo told Brazilian website Combate (via MMAFighting). “This is the new division I want to move to, and I’m asking for the title shot right away. That’s what matters for me now. Cejudo said he’s open to (fighting) anyone, so I’m open to that. I want the opportunity to fight against him and beat him.”

Is getting ESPN+ worth it? Saw there’s a package deal I can get on my Xbox for the fight and a year of ESPN+ for $79.99.

 

[Clyde Frog]

All 3 fights hard to predict but I’m most confident in Romero. Gonna throw some money on him.

Can’t wait for tonight
