If this is an exhibition match between Mac and Poirier will they be wearing bigger gloves or headgear or something?

Might copy and paste this into the new thread in a couple days but I was in the mood to write it now and get myself hype UFC on ESPN whatever Holm vs Aldana turning “vs. someone” into vs someone. Hoo boy this is definitely a card that needs a breakdown post. It’s not too bad once you know who some of the people are. Is it a diamond in the rough? Probably not. But it’s not just rough. Women’s Bantamweight: Holm vs Aldana Everyone knows Holm – mostly aish aish, but occasionally  . Watching Holly Holm is like watching a Tyron Woodley fight – usually you’ll be disappointed but you tune in for the hopes of payoff. Now who the poo poo is Irene Aldana? Well Aldana is the Mexican boxer girl with a few submission skills who came over from Invicta. No, you’re thinking Alexa Grasso. Aldana is the other Mexican girl. She had a rough start to the UFC with a couple embarrassing losses, but she has turned it around, having won 5 of her last 6, and her only loss a split decision to the always-tough Raquel Pennington. In that time she also found her power again. Those of us who had seen her in Invicta knew she could crack, but she put previously undefeated Ketlen Vieria down clean in her last fight. Aldana fights in the tradition of Mexican boxers and she likes to come forward, and she’s not afraid to get hit. She could pull a good fight out of Holm, win or lose.Heavyweight: Yorgan de Castro vs Carlos Felipe Not as much to say here. De Castro is the fat guy who KOed Mark Hunt protégé Justin Tafa and then lost a lame split decision to Gr*g H*rdy because his foot hurt or something. He has big power and kickboxes well enough for a round. Carlos Felipe apparently lost to Sergei Spivak, but I don’t remember that. Women’s Bantamweight: Germain de Randamie vs Julianna Pena GDR is pretty fun to watch most of the time. She hits hard and is technically a former champ. She’s a classic dutch kickboxer, but she’s also a cop, so… Julianna Pena won TUF Rousey vs Tate then went on a 4 fight streak, but then she lost to Valentina by armbar in a bantamweight title eliminator and spent an enormous amount of time on the shelf due to a knee injury or some poo poo. She’s mostly a top-position GNP grappler. I don’t think her game is sophisticated enough to deal with GDR’s striking. Middleweight: Dequan Townsend vs Dusko Todorovic Townsend is a Light Heavyweight journeyman who dropped down to 85 after his unsuccessful ufc debut. He has only one win over a fighter I know in his whole career. He is 0-3 in the UFC and likely here because he was willing to go to fight island. Todorovic is an undefeated Serbian and a contender series product makinghis UFC debut. His wins are mostly stoppages, including a win over Kazuo Takahashi recorded as “Win – Pound – 1:41 – R1” at THE OUTSIDER 51. This is probably an alley-oop for Todorovic. Prelims Bantamweight: Kyler Phillips vs Cameron Else Holy poo poo I hate the name “Kyler.” Kyler is a 1-0 UFC fighter who lost to Katona on TUF 27. Cameron is a brit on a 6-fight 6-stoppage streak making his UFC debut, and he has a 35 second d’arce over Paddy Pimblett. This looks like it has potential based on their records. Welterweight: Carlos Condit vs Court McGee  gently caress. Condit is reduced to fighting Court loving McGee on the prelims of a TV card with a Holly Holm headliner. For those of you who don’t know, Condit is one of the most exciting fighters in UFC history and he used to just gently caress people up with flying spinning poo poo with blood everywhere. He’s a former interim champion too but lost his full title bids to GSP and Lawler in fights that he could have won. If any of this is news to you go watch some Condit fights. Now he’s on a 5-fight losing streak with 3 submission losses. Court McGee is like the platonic ideal of a forgettable journeyman. He won a season of TUF with Chuck vs Tito, and the only other remaining cast member from that one is Brad Tavares, another forgettable journeyman. Court is tough and he has a beard. He has pretty good cardio and fairly good technical fundamentals. He usually grinds his opponents down and finishes them brutally via split decision.Condit could set a record for longest losing streak in UFC history. Don’t make me go confirm that. Featherweight: Charles Jourdain vs Josh Culibao Jourdain is the Canadian who had a really good split decision loss to Andre Fili. He also knocked out my man Doo Ho Choi  . He’s mostly a grappler but he’s happy to brawl. Culibao is an Aussie who is coming off his first career loss, to Jalin Turner (who just choked out Brok Weaver like 2 weeks ago)Middleweight: Jordan Williams vs Nassourdine Imavov Nothing I like better than middleweights without Wikipedia pages. Let’s check Tapology. Williams – 9-3 American, contender series r1 TKO, and a couple of Bellator wins. Imavov – 8-2 Russian, UFC debut, looks well rounded. Women’s Strawweight:  Loma Lookboonmee vs Jinh Yu FreyThis has a chance to be a bad WMMA undercard fight. But this also has a chance to be loving hot fire. Loma is from Thailand and she has like 7000 actual Thai fights (as I assume all Thai people do) and she had a decent fight against Angela Hill. Jinh Yu Frey is the former Invicta atomweight champ. She’s coming off of a loss to the female Tim Elliot in her UFC debut. She uses a boxing-centric attack but she has shown some reasonably good grappling too, with the crazy gumbi-girl style. Bantamweight: Casey Kenney vs Heili Alateng Making me double check spellings today. Kenney is a judoka who choked out Louis Smolka in his last fight and also has a decision win over Ray Borg. His only UFC loss is to Dvalishvili so he might be actual good. Alatang is a 14-7 Chinese fighter who has gone 2-0 in the UFC with a win over Ryan Benoit. His record looks bad but if you cut off his early career he’s 10-1-1, and it looks like he used to fight a couple weight classes up. Lightweight: Jessin Ayari vs Luigi Vendramini Ayari is a Tunisian-German … grappler? Who is 1-2 in the UFC with his one win by split decision. He fought Darren Till at Welterweight though… Vendramini is a Brazillian who goes by “The Italian Stallion”  He made his debut against Elizeu Zaleski and got his face caved in brutally and now he’s at 155.

I'm going to start adding a prediction to each of my breakdown posts for comedy 6ers Here's the one for this one. I want odds - my 6er vs your 1 day probe: This one is a parlay. I predict that both Loma vs Jinh Yu Frey and Holm vs Aldana will be good fights with lots of action and/or finishes. If there's a dispute over whether they were "good fights" Mekchu has offered to be the arbiter. Anyone want to take me up on this?

I keep forgetting Volkanovski is champ. He's such a non entity even as he's a really good fighter. I caught up on Petr Yan, who completely slipped under my radar right up until the Faber fight. Drop what you're doing and go watch Yan/Jin Soo Son. It's a loving dope fight.

My definition is "did I say "OH poo poo" more than once to an exchange" and look away from my other monitor and pay attention. Holm has never done that for me aside from the Correia and Rousey fights. So the bar isn't very high.

Instead, he just kept going into really loving tough fights. I mean, it's kind of brave and also extremely loving stupid.
