    Axwell, please ban Jimmii again. This post is so bad it's more deserving of a ban than any insult previously made to Mrs Axwell.

    You're discriminating against me for using the language of my people. If this isn't acted on I'm going to start a hashtag campaign see how you like that.

    What do people think of Craig vs Ankalaev? Always hard to judge these ones. Odds are fairly lopsided but Ankalaev doesn't have much to go on and Craig is probably fighting to stay in the UFC and now has some fights with topish fighters even if he did lose quick enough. If Craig had an underdog bonus I would definitely be going for him.

    This has a start time of 5.45pm on fight pass so make sure you don't be leaving it too late!

    Did you miss this one Axwell?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,617 ✭✭✭Mehaffey1


    Just signed up, pretty bad timing halfway through the card but seems self explanatory as to how it works.

    Fuc Sake.

    Now we're gonna have to listen to him for the rest of the year going on about how he would have won if he hadn't missed this event. :rolleyes:

    Although, credit where its due, at the time of this post, he's still in third place with about 15 picks less than everyone else!!!

    Lol! Does seem a bit unfair on Irish fans having a paddys day event that's never going to work!

    Hadnt a clue there was one this weekend, been up to my eyes. Them seen the email reminder around 9 and went on to lock in my picks to find there was only 3 fights left. Too many events to be keeping track of..

    Yeah so many of these events that don't really get that much press. With all the hype I er Liverpool you would have thought that was the only event in the UK this year! Was actually a pretty fun event.

    Reminder for 223 Khabib vs [insert latest name here]


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Oh, is there an event tonight??

    :-D

    Yeah, slow news week all round in the MMA world.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    There's an event? Haven't been on boards much at all the last few days..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,649 ✭✭✭Whelo79


    I've gone for Al in the main event for the craic. Rd 2 by KO.

    Just seeing how Khabib closes the distance to get a take-down makes me think Al can catch him on the weigh in and put him out. I wouldn't be putting money on it though.

    I'm the exact opposite!

    Ive Khabib in the pickem but put a tenner on Al.

    Didn't miss much in fairness. Highlight of the week was a video of a coach pulling out of the arena really it was that dull.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Reminder for Poirier v Gaethje.

    Couple of weird picks for tight matches ups this week. 3/10 for the main to finish by KO not often you see odds that short outside of HW should be fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,617 ✭✭✭Mehaffey1


    No clue who any of the fighters are outside of the main fights so plenty of winging it with the picks.

    Yeah it's definitely one of "those" cards!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Reminder for Barboza v Lee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,617 ✭✭✭Mehaffey1


    Good man had forgotten all about it.

    Barboza KO win in the 4th.
    Edgar KO win in the 1st.

    For the rest, once again have no idea or interest really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Edgar decision for me and Lee by sub!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    10/11 sneaks me just inside the top 1k.

    Only about 3 months too early!!!

    Seriously though, thanks. Had totally forgotten about 224.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Well don't say I didn't warn ya when it comes :pac:

    Edit: PS UFC 224 coming up soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Reminder for Maia vs Usman. Some what interesting to see if Maia has it in him to stay conscious vs Usman other than that not a whole lot to get excited about really!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Reminder for Till time later on! Early start with it being a UK card.

    Being English this is an exciting one for me. I only really caught the tail end of Dan Hardys career so it's good to see someone coming through who looks like they could potentially challenge for belts. Getting that tingly feeling like before McGregors early fights.

    I had planned on going with Thompson decision but now I'm edging towards Till KO!

    Axwell :eek:

    Teymur on the list twice for tonight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,387 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Teymur on the list twice for tonight?

    That's correct David a late replacement for Leonardo Santos who was injured he's fighting Nick Lentz. He was also scheduled to fight on the card last week but his opponent fell through so he has a full camp behind him. He may be familiar to those who watched TUF Mcgregor/Faber season

    His brother Daniel was already on the card! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Only just made it! Didn't seem to get a notification for the weigh in yesterday for some reason.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭Hoki


    Who's this Mmaformguide dot com guy that joined the league this week and goes 2000 points clear at the top!!
