Conor vs Alvarez in the ME, Conor a slight favorite in the betting lines. Could be a good card.

Wrong link?

I'm not really a UFC fan, but do follow it a bit due to a buddy who fights professionally. You may or may not know Dennis Bermudez, but we grew up together and now both live here in LI. It's crazy to know someone your entire childhood and then see him fighting on national TV. Anyways... that's not really my point. My point is that UFC should be ashamed of themselves where these (I believe it was 6?) NY fighters push and push and push to make it legal here in NY, and then NONE of them get to fight in the debut. Not even like, a notable mention. Nothing. I don't think it's right, but what the hell do I know?

The UFC cares about selling PPVs, not about fighters or how they fought to get a backwards law in NY changed. Sad, but true. Hell, they wouldn't even give GSP a fight in Montreal.

This is a stacked card though. I hope it's good. I'm surprised McGregor is a slight favorite. Sure, he kind of stood with Diaz, but Alvarez isn't a fighter to good around and shoot McGregor the bird rather than move in when he's hurt or running. McGregor will need a much better performance to keep Alvarez at bay, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. I'm more looking forward to Woodley defending.

Guys, it's #UFC205 week. This is the best card in UFC history, and at the top sits the first champion-champion fight since 2009. Awesome.

If Eddie Alvarez fights to win instead of putting on a show, he can easily pettis Mcgregor for 5 rounds. If he stands up with Mcgregor, he is dead with his midget arms and big ass head.

My other predictions:
Yoel 2nd round ko by decapitation
Wonderboy by unanimous decision
Khabib by wrestlefuck
Cerrone TKO (that combo against Rick Story was fire)
My heart wants Edgar to win, but I think he is worn out like Robbie.

Eddie has been too inconsistent for me to give him the nod.

Eddie likes to block punches with his big head. His midget arms force him to lunge forward when throwing punches. He will have to eat some shots from mcgregor, but once he gets the clinch, it's fence grinding time.

Eddie has heart though, coming back with one eye shut to beat a juiced to the gill giblert. that fight got my respect.

Reported Gastelum missed by over 10lbs... What a fucking crock of shit. Cerrone said had Gastelum called him, he'd have eaten and drunk a gallon of water to come in heavy as well and make the fight happened. Cerrone likely to be added to 206 IMO.

how do you even miss by 10 lbs, lose your scale a week before the fight?
