I'm SO Got damn stoked for this card! Jeebis even the preliminary card is stacked, shit the prelim card looks better than a lot of previous main cards!
These are some of the fights on the prelim card;
Frankie Edgar vs Jeremy Stephens
Khabib vs Michael Johnson (rip johnson)
Rashas Evans vs Tim Kennedy
Jim Miller vs Thiago Alves
I honestly think Khabib should've gotten the title fight vs Alvarez.. and if it did happen, I would've put my money on khabib.. But Conor is Dana's golden child, so he gets what he wants..
If conor wins, which belt do you think he'll vacate?? I think he'll vacate the 155 belt, 'cause he don't want nothing to do with that division! If he wins, and keeps the 155 belt, most likely his first title defense will be vs khabib.. and I think Khabib will maul him! I could also see Nate dropping down to 155, and having the third fight happen in the lightweight division. Dana has said that the trilogy probably wouldn't happen, but he's been known to lie through his teeth! But FACK do I want to see that third fight so facking badly! There were 2 times I lost my mind watching the ufc, one was when Weidmen ko'd Silva, and the other was when Nate choked out conor at 196!
I really don't like Conor, and I'd love to see him lose! And imagine how cocky he'll be if he won both belts.. ffs the world doesn't need that! With that being said, I'd put my money on conor in this fight.. Conor is a precise striker and Eddie is wild and throws a fury of inaccurate punches.. I think conor will get a clean counterpunch after one of Eddie's barage of inaccurate punches and Eddie will be knocked the fuck out! I'm hoping this doesn't happen, but my fight logic is leaning towards that scenario happening.. If Eddie wants a chance in this fight, he has to lean on his wrestling skills to win. And he has to be more precise with his punches! He can't just go in there and throw a bunch of punches that are all over the place, Conor will pick him apart if he does that..
So here's my 205 predictions;
Alvarez vs McGregor - Alvarez
Woodley vs Thompson - Thompson
Jedrzejczyk vs Kowalkiewicz - Jedrzejczyk
Weidman vs Romero - Weidman
Gastelum vs Cowboy - Cowboy
Tate vs pennington - Penington
Edgar vs Stephens - Edgar
Khabib vs Johnson - Khabib
Evans vs Kennedy -Evans
Miller vs Alves - Alves
