NoCalMike Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Eh. I see Cruz out-working Faber with his footwork but it will likely be an unspectacular 48-47 majority decision. Remember their 2nd fight? Cruz was basically running circles around octagon scoring points. Faber didn't land a bunch but whenever he did Cruz was either dropped, staggered, or definitely reacted like he felt it. If anything I'd say Faber's lack of aggression is what made the biggest difference in the fight. When Cruz hit the ground Faber didn't even look to approach to follow up. I have a feeling he will be more aggressive this time around. This whole "feud" rubs me the wrong way because it seem phony. Obviously Cruz doesn't like Faber, but he's never really explained why. I know the origin was him being butt-hurt because on their first fight when he was virtually unknown, their poster featured Faber and Cruz was either not on it, or just his name. Ok whatever, big deal buddy, that is how sports works you usually are treated as an unknown until you make a name for yourself. Other then that, what else is there? I've never really heard legitimate reasons. I think it's more a case of Cruz needing to create "bad guy Faber" in his head. Faber has said for years he never really even understood why Cruz hated him but if wanted to play that game, than sure, fine, whatever. In the end I think Cruz will win this fight, because Faber doesn't seem to do well against this style of fighter. I think we are looking at another 48-47, or perhaps 49-46 decision for Cruz, but man do I hope Faber connects and puts Dom's lights out. Henderson can beat Lombard if he makes it out of Round 1. Interesting to see what kind of fighter Lombard looks like in post-TRT era. Rockhold....well he can probably decide on the spot how he'd like to finish Bisping.

Taylor703 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I can't see Bisping without thinking "H-Bomb". That's all I think about when I see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 BIG fan of Brian Ortega. Wow what a finish! Probably needed it to win the fight. Guida doing classic Guida scoring all fight, then boom, knee from Ortega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Henderson can beat Lombard if he makes it out of Round 1. Which he does, by the slimmest of margins. Let's see if Lombard's gas tank has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Ok. Lombard just shook Hendo's hand. All is well. What a fight! Says it could be his last fight. Edited June 5, 2016 by STBonecrusher21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I legit did not think dan could raise his leg high enough for a head kick If Lombard doesn't grab and hold onto that leg kick, and leave himself wide open to the elbow, it could have been a completely different outcome. Hendo is my dude but I don't want to see this continue. He's got to stop. Seems like he's heard all the comments tonight. He just verbalized that may be his last fight.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Couture stayed in the UFC til he was what, about 48 ? Maybe Hendo is trying to beat that. Randy started MMA in his 30s. Hendo has one of, if not THE toughest slew of opponents ever in a career. You could still be right, especially since they were training partners and it could be a friendly bet type of thing. But Hendo has been through the **** a lot more than Randy has. That Shogun fight alone probably took years off his life.I can see him fighting in Bellator at 50 years old. I don't know why, but I can't see him stopping for some reason. That power will stick around til he's got oxygen tubes up his nostrils. Which could be in 10 years.

Malapropismic Depository Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Last minute predictions, before these fights start : Faber by 4th round Submission Rockhold by 4th round TKO. I'm not sure if that's my heart, or my head, or the wine talking, but I'm going to have to stick by those predictions, because there's no time left to change my mind.
