Arlovski and Cormier for me

 

[JasonBiggz]

I was really looking forward to this card with Jones and Khabib. Not as excited anymore, just waiting for aldo vs McGregor

30 and 40 cent totals.

Nice.

 

[PatsFan1283]

I think Cormier should be able to wrestle Johnson enough to get a decision. He has to cut his camp short and maybe his motivation will be lacking since it isn't vs Bones but I think Cormier should be able to overpower Johnson if he can get him into grappling situations. I know it was awhile ago but Johnson couldn't even stay on his feet vs Josh Koscheck and now he is vs Cormier? Cormier is a physical beast at 205 vs everyone but Bones.

Not complaining but why is UFC putting 2 big title fights on the same card? Most of their cards have terrible main events.

 

[JakeT.]

Arlovski/Weidman/Cormier parlay looks decent. Arlovski is at a big size/reach disadvantage but if Werdum can outbox him than Andrei can.

 

[celticGreen+]

Arlovski got a horrible chin these days, no? Or is that a thing of the past?

 

[MattyMatt]

Johnson at plus money...I'll take it!!

Weidman all day...

give me some Moraga at +400 as well...

 

[ANOTHERDAY]

Arlovski got a horrible chin these days, no? Or is that a thing of the past?

No such thing as "bad chin"

All depends who and just were the hit comes from. AA has been knocked cold by several, but he also has taken the best punches that in turn laid out many top HW's

 

[PatsFan1283]

DC gonna wrestlefuck that dude all day MM

 

[JakeT.]

Has gone 10 straight fights without being KO'd. Has eaten some big shots in those fight. His striking defense was the problem more than anything back in the day. He's cleaned that up. The shots that knocked him out came from some of the heaviest hitters in the sport and they got him flush. I don't think his chin is awful. Not iron but not awful. Most HWs would have gone out from the shots he took. The real problem was he got hit too much and he's been much more careful lately.

 

[MattyMatt]

You might be right, but imo, Johnson was going to beat Jones handily, so I'll stay with my pick here. Johnson has the strength and speed to wrestle with DC, and def has the power to KO him or slow him down...

 

[GoBlue34]

My thoughts and nothing I love...

Anthony Johnson I'm surprised he is + money. DC took this on short notice and yes he could wrestle him but AJ is a beast these days and if can keep his feet I could see him knocking DC out and easily winning if it stays on their feet. I thought the line would be the other way.

Weidman is a great, great fighter but that's too much juice against a guy with knockout power. I don't like either.

AA, the bad chin comment I thought that too until Jake said he hasn't been knocked out in 10 fights (but not against Browne type opponents). Even with those odds don't like him here but I hope he wins, been a fan for a long time and glad to see him back in the UFC. I bet him at great odds last time out but not this time.

The flyweight fight I don't know enough about either to wager either way. I probably don't have a bet on the main card at all.

probably wont play, too much chalk

Got ya - yeah, I have admittedly not seen many of his fights since the Fedor bout. I really like Arlovsky; always felt like he was a really good fighter.

I'm surprised as well! But, that's okay, I'll take that plus money with a smile...
