i'm trying not to be snarky about people close to cyborg saying "everything's great" and that getting reported by helwani and then people taking that to mean that she's not still too enormous for 135 but it's hard

Didn't Lockheart himself say a while back he didn't think she had a hope of making 135?

my extremely hosed up opinion is I would be okay if Cyborg got the secret 3 lb GSP allowance special to fight Rousey or Tate for the belt eventually, but barring that happening UFC is gonna have a weird situation on their hands.

So does Leslie Smith have much of a chance against The Steroid Monster or is this just a can crush to get casual UFC fans a look at Cyborg?

Leslie Smith got boxed by a three foot tall Rin Nakai, so no, she has no chance

Oh christ, I forgot about the Nakai fight even though it was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in awhile. Yeah, this is a can crush. But holy hannah is it going to be spectacular if Cyborg loses her first fight in the UFC after all the poo poo talking...

I like Leslie Smith but she is basically the Leonard Garcia of WMMA (minus the string of BS decision wins). She might survive three rounds but even so she's gonna get battered.

Smith got a speed hole opened up into her brain and wanted to keep fighting, so in the unlikely event that Cyborg can't TKO her, Cyborg might gas out after Smith does the Homer Simpson to her.

Snowman_McK posted:This really isn't true. She didn't get outboxed, but she did get boxed. Smith ate 31 strikes from Nakai, the shortest fighter in the UFC with a 60" reach (which is mostly traps). Cyborg is 7" taller, has 8" more reach and tends to make most opponents a little dizzy with the first punch. I don't know if they could have picked an easier fight for her. The bookies have Smith to win at +1075 ($100 bet wins you a grand), which is about as bad as it gets. However, it is MMA, and Dana's Law suggest that all things being equal, the most hilarious result is the most likely. There might be some Serra/GSP money to be made.

I didn't create it and I'm not sure if this link will work off my phone but anyone interested should get in the league on ufc pick em. https://ufcpickem.fightmetric.com/pools/18093 It's fun and if like me you have time to waste at work you can eventually accrue enough points to get ppvs etc. I wasted mine on Jones vs OSP so I am glad I didn't actually pay for that main event and the rest of the card was good.

I hope Stipe wins just cause I wanna see Stipe vs Cain. The more I type out Stipe the more I pronounce it Stipe instead of Steepay in my head

Triticum Guzzler posted:how come the weigh ins were earlier but the card doesn't start earlier I'm sure someone's out there right now claiming the Brazilian comission wanted to give Cyborg more time to rehydrate, but I'd say it's probably that Curitiba is 2 hours ahead of EST so they did weigh ins earlier so a big crowd would show up. They won't shift the event itself because that would gently caress with PPV buys, obviously.

iLikeMidgets posted:Not sure what this is "people wanted to see her in the ufc fight at 135 ... which is literally impossible for her to happen ... to make that weight" Not sure how tito could be any clearer. Obviously it's literally impossible for her to happen so Cyborg doesn't exist and if you don't exist you can't make weight, literally.

Prelims looking good tonight too. I love Maia and how he makes people look like amateurs on the ground but I also love Brown and relish any opportunity to see him do a violence. I don't know which of those scenarios I want to see more. iLikeMidgets posted:Not sure what this is Neither is Tito tbf

I don't know which of those scenarios I want to see more. It isn't impossible that you'll get to see both, like when Maia fought Rory. He got the takedown early and completely dominated Rory on the ground, didn't get the stoppage but gassed out chasing it, and then Rory lit him up on the feet for the next two rounds. Though IMO Maia is very likely to submit Brown if he gets him down, and Brown is very likely to finish Maia if he winds up exhausted and forced to strike.

I'm real hyped about Miocic/Werdum. Like I totally acknowledge that most HW fights are poo poo but it's still the weight class I get the most excited over when it comes to big fights. Are there any other good HW matchups planned this year?

Are there any other good HW matchups planned this year? I actually really like this fight because it's something that doesn't happen real often at heavyweight - a fight between two guys who have no glaring, obvious flaws. Stipe isn't really exceptional at anything but he has solid wrestling and boxing and isn't bad at anything; Werdum is tremendously talented at jiujitsu and has developed genuinely good striking, and he's good in the clinch and not completely embarassing at wrestling. And both guys are pretty aggressive without being completley irresponsible defensively. I'm really looking forward to it.
