BJ Penn's corner guys are the worst though

Edgar 2 fight inbetween every round: YOU'RE WINNING KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING when he's getting destroyed
BJ's corner is sycophants, that's what his camp is too.

Ok Makdessi you let me down against Hallman

...and Njokuani you let me down against Volkmann.

Njokuani, it's your turn to win one, gogo

Feeling pretty good about this fight, Njokuani is way better than his win/loss ratio suggests imo

I have to win 1u on him plus he's in a 2-fight parlay with Thompson for a unit

If this was on the main card i'd pick it for FOTN a decent amount of the time

So wait how is Bocek Alessio on the main card over Thompson/Brown or Griggs/Browne?

I mean it doesnt matter since i'm going to see them all anyway but it's weird.

Njokuani has some slick standup.

that's a jones-esque reach advantage

if Njokuani fights smart he's got this

He stood with Barboza and didnt get outclassed that says a lot

He only really loses to wrestlers which is why I like him here, Makdessi basically has to knock him out in 1 punch to have a chance imo

Over Thompson/Brown I understand bc neither of them is main event material just yet.

10-9 Njokuani I guess? Makdessi had octagon control but Njokuani landed more and threw more

I think if it goes to decision Njokuani wins, if theres a finish its a flip

I guess they also want the more exciting fight/likely highlight reel finish on free TV so people will buy the PPV

Njokuani needs to keep landing leg kicks, they're hurting Makdessi more than he's showing imo look how red and swollen his lead leg is

Idk, but jones was on prelim first fight, then 2nd fight he was main event and then third fight he was on prelims again.

Yeah, unfortunately, they don't start showing until last round usually.
MMA Thread Quote

Not much happening there but 20-18 I guess, only thing that has me at all worried is an 'octagon control' decision but Njokuani's landing way more overall
MMA Thread Quote
04-21-2012 , 08:53 PM
Yeah. But who knows, judges be crazy.

Njokuani played it really safe there

Close third round, Njokuani landed more but not by enough to offset his constant backpedaling that time probably. 30-27 or 29-28 Njokuani, either's fine

He should get it, but wouldn't be surprised to see some stupid judging.

Just realised i've got 4u on Thompson plus three different 1u parlays one of which his win completes

Hope he's as good as I think he is

Finally they got it right.

Either way we see it, Thompson is a veteran fighter. There's a couple of things we don't need to worry about here and that is he believing in his own hype or anything like that.
