UFC 194 Who Do You Have???

[Brian R. VanCise]

Okay tonight is UFC 194 so who do you have winning Connor McGregor or Jose Aldo?

Myself, I think the fighter that has been busier will win so it is McGregor for me.

 

[Steve]

Aldo. Both are excellent strikers, so it could go either way. I like Aldo, though.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

I like Aldo as well. I think he will lose based on not having fought in 14 months. However, Aldo is a great fighter!

 

[seasoned]

Connor McGregor!

 

[Drose427]

Aldo,

Mcgregors the better striker, but thats it.

Aldo won't stand and strike with him, he'll do what mendes(significantly better since he had a full camp) and out grapple him.

Even if connor started rolling, he isnt going to bridge the gap in skill in a year

Its a bout, so anything can happen, but im calling a sub in the second round

Morning folks, I had to set an alarm for this one so I could get a couple of hours sleep beforehand.

This is a tough one, from watching McGregor's training videos I can see that he's been working on his own unorthodox fighting style even more to incorporate some capoeira. I think there is every chance he'll catch Aldo out at some point and from there, there is always a chance of getting the tko.

I think Aldo will win this one though, simply because for me he is the better all-rounder. I have no real preference going into the main event tonight, I just hope it does all the hype justice by being a good, entertaining fight

 

[Steve]

Wow... What a great fight for Faber. That was a war.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

It was exceptional. I thought that Faber was going to knock him out for sure but the other guy Frankie Saenz hung on and fought hard the rest of the fight!

 

[Dinkydoo]

Some fantastic BJJ happening right now between Nelson and Maia

 

[Steve]

Well, by Maia.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Maia has been beastly his last couple of fights. I feel he has finally put it all together and is ready for a championship fight.

 

[Dinkydoo]

Typically, after posting that it was practically all Maia for 2 rounds.

~141 strikes landed vs 5 really does tell the story of who was in the more dominant position for the entire fight.

I thought Nelson showed a lot of really good movement in the first, but I have little grappling experience

 

[Steve]

I thought jacare did enough to win that last one.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Jacare fought hard just to recover. My house was pretty split 2 for Romero and 1 for Jacare.

 

[Dinkydoo]

I thought a draw would have been the fairest result. Over the course of the fight I think Jacare was the better fighter, but you'd have to score Romero big for that spinning backfist in the first - the fight could have been stopped after that

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Rockhold was amazing!!!

 

[Steve]

Yeah, that was a great fight. Rock hold is a tough dude.

Now here we go. This is the big one. I'm hoping Aldo takes it. Mcgregor is a loudmouth.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

McGregor is definitely a loud mouth!

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

WOW!!!

 

[Steve]

Whoa!!!!!
