im usually at williamhill and have other ones open as well

Gustafsson might just take Mousasi down and grind him out. He's shown he's vulnerable to takedowns in the past and Gus' are decent.

I haven't seen many of Mousasis fight but he seems to be a veteran and has a good track record. People say he's very talented but that he doesn't always train 100%.

Agreed takedown is a threat but Mousasi is good on the ground and I expect Gustafsson to stand as it's in his home town.

Mousasi has an excellent record not only in MMA but also Kickboxing and boxing with his last true MMA loss coming in 2006 (he was deducted a point for upkicking in both the Jardine draw and the Lawal loss) without those point deductions he would be on a 22 fight win streak!

I'm going to take a punt that he has taken it seriously due to his UFC debut being a main event and put 2U on him.

This is a bad assumption imo. He's going to try to win the fight anyway he can, if he's winning in the standup, he'll keep it there, if he feels he's getting beat up, like in the shogun fight, he'll mix it up. Pretty sure there is no thought where he goes, yeah I'm going to standup, even if it decreases my chance.

lawal beat mousasi 49-45, 49-45, 49-45. illegal upkick in round 5.

i think he got robbed in the jardine fight. it should have been 29-27 mousasi after the illegal upkick point deduction in round 1.

he does love the upkick. here he is KO'ing Jacare at middleweight:

You're right my mistake on the Lawal fight,

UFC cuts Lavar Johnson

Well deserved, he's on a loss streak and got popped for steroids. He can take the time off to get off steroids and learn some takedown defense and come back at some stage in the future maybe if he wants to be a clean fighter. In the mean time, he can go lose in a Bellator HW tourney or something.

Lean Pickett over Easton but expect a close fight. If it's the Easton from his last fight Pickett wins but if he shows up in the form he had against Menjivar he might edge it.

The fight being 5 rounds work in Gustafssons favor by a huge amount.

No way Mousasi can go at the pace Gus sets for 5 rounds. He's gassed after 2 rounds usually.

I literally have no interest in Gustafason at all, he doesn't excite me nor does he bore me. It's literally a shrug of the shoulders if I can even be bothered to put that much effort into it.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

And I'm presuming I'm not the only one who's glad that UFC isn't shoving Fuel and FX cards down our throat every weekend anymore? There was a period last year where there was more UFC programming on in 2 months than ever before and it lost that "Oh man, it's that UFC fight this weekend!" feel. Granted it didn't help that most of the fights were crap but as much as I'd love to watch UFC every weekend the fact you have to wait a couple of weekends is what really makes you love it.

@whoeversaideastondoesntmovemuch - it actually tilts me how Easton is so "fidgety" in his fights. Like he has a very mild dose of tourettes. Plus how big his damn cup is!

@jmammon - I know betfair does live betting aswell. I have such a love/hate relationship with live betting. Sometimes I feel like an absolute genius and other times I wonder why I didn't stick with my original decision. The people who don't sweat their bets are the smartest people of all.

Have to agree on the constant shoving of low quality of cards we had. They felt so watered down and of no importance. I mean, yeah I'd like UFC every weekend if it's top guys fighting, like Machida every other week and Cain/JDS/Reem fighting, but when it's low level guys who don't matter it kinda sucks. Especially when it's not Rogan commentating but it's these "professional" kenny florian and anik who are being called "color" commentators I have no idea.

About Gustafsson, don't know why u have no interest in him, he's a top contender, the new breed of MMA who will stay in it for the next 3-4 years prolly. He has good boxing and if he can work on his TDDs vs Jones, he could pose a threat.

It's nothing to do with his actual fighting attributes. I just can't take to him. He just seems to lack personality. It's not as strong as WWE but usually a fighter has a little "gimmick" that you can relate to them and makes them unique.

JDS is a gentle giant, Sonnen is a trash talker, Jones is athletic, Machida with his Karate, Hendo with his legacy, GSP with his efficiency and then Gustaffson with the pubes on his chin.

hehe yeah I can see that. Definitely agree on sometimes u need something unique about a character to want to watch them. Gustafsson is the typical sweden, doesn't say much, is neutral, no hard words etc. But I think Gustafsson is an exciting fighters, so he doesn't really need to do any hyping etc, talk trash. All of his UFC fights have been from good to very good, can't think of a boring fight he's been in.

Gustafsson is just a good, humble guy that loves to fight.
Not like Cain talk alot either. Or Aldo.

I'd rather see him than Bisping the clown.

Gustafsson is an entertaining fighter so he's fine. If he was a boring wrestler he'd need a gimmick to be interesting.

Bisping has good fights and is very interesting, personally i'm a big fan of his but for those who aren't surely you tune in hoping to see him get KTFO'd right? That's the point. I tuned in to GSP/Diaz hoping to see Diaz get KTFO'd because he annoys me the way Bisping annoys other people. That means money for the fighters in question who play the heel.

Also sigh that Arlovski is -105 again, I missed out on the +160, going to wait and see where the odds end up I guess since more people seem to like AJ than Arlovski as far as I can tell betting wise

No, it's a result of me seeing every UFC card.

I wouldn't mind seeing a guy like Bisping be put on the prelims or calling it a career.
He's not a very good heel. All he does is tell the opponent he's gonna "**** him up" then reverts to point fighting. He's not clever in any way.

Out of his 10 last fights which were very good fights?
I'd say maybe vs. Stann because i don't remember the fight.

I always root for a good heel. Even Koscheck.

Oh, he won FOTN against Kang and Akiyama. I remember the Kang fight being pretty good, but not the Akiyama. Maybe i'm wrong on that.

He has no personality they said. He has no gimmick they said

The best part of that video is Reza Madadi having NO IDEA what a harlem shake is. Just goofing around doing random somersaults.

Yeah, either exciting fighter and/or have a good gimmick. I think Bisping is boring as a fighter but I tune in to see him lose by KO.

haha yea I lol'd hard

Also, I think all swedes will lose ufc sweden 2, except for Gustafsson.

Impossible. Abedi fights another swede.

Agreed with this. Mousasi has shown a tendency to gas for sure.

Also, he should have beaten Jardine even with the deduction. Terrible judging.
