[Omm]

can you post the list of the top 10? I would like to see which ones I have seen!

Derrick Lewis at over 5/1 for a heavyweight title fight is one of the more lopsided lines I have seen for a heavyweight fight - a division where one punch can win it. It is a really weird fight with Cormier saying he has an injured hand and still taking the fight and Lewis having a really tough fight just 28 days ago and suffering with cardio and back issues. I would love to bet him, but not sure I can do it.

Khabib surely has to fight Tony Ferguson now so that leaves Conor looking for his next opponent. Obvious one is Nate Diaz of course. Perhaps leaving Poirier facing Kevin Lee? I'd love to see Conor fight Justin Gaethje - and I think it would be a great fight for both of them, but Gaethje not high profile enough yet.

Lewis has to be the Rocky story of the MMA world.

Really been delving into MMA the last few months. One of the channels on YouTube done a top 10 MMA documentaries, Choke was at number 2 Anyone seen it? Really great 90mins of following Rickson Gracie in 1994 for the Vale Tudo (?) in Asia, Obvs leads on to checking out Wiki (tikay style) for the next few hours reading about the family.

Just about to start watching the number 1 choice on Mark Kerr: The Smashing Machine, Life and Times of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerr. By all accounts he was a no rules fighter for a while, should be interesting.

All available on YouTube.

Have seen Choke, very good.

Lewis too short at 5/1 IMO.

In case you haven't seen it, Scotty.

If anyone can give me a link to tonight’s event I would very much appreciate it.

What just happened?

In case you haven't seen it, Scotty.

Jorge coming with the 3 piece!

Askren got the three piece extra crispy, but left him hanging without the soda

If anyone can give me a link to tonight’s event I would very much appreciate it.

If you haven't got it yet, I'll send you it when I get home Thursday teatime, Scotty.

Great card, bar the main event. However, that can be forgiven under the circumstances. Santos must be a different breed!

Definitely the best card I've seen live.

Don't know any WWE scriptwriters, unfortunately.

Saturday predictions?

I fancy Conor early. For as much as they've replayed the clip of Conor calling Cowboy stiff it's very true, he doesn't move his head well and stands up straight. Seen him struggle against good boxers previously. Horrible fight for me as love both guys.

Although I dreamt of a Cowboy head kick KO last night.

[bergeroo]

All depends on if Cowboy is clever. If he starts a bit faster for once and gets through the first round and then uses his wrestling like in the Mike Perry fight then I don't see why he couldn't win via submission in the later rounds. That is some big ifs though!

I see Conor challenging to a stand up match. Challenging his ego. Smart move by Conor!

[Marky147]

I know he gets some stick for a perceived lack of grappling, but Conor's takedown defense is very, very good.

I think if Conor has put the bugle down, and is as focused as it appears, Cowboy is going to get tuned up.
