That's a strong card

In what logical world does Thiago Santos not get the chance ahead of Anthony Smith? Oh right.... Dana's.

Anthony Smith has a lot of fights for a guy I have no idea who he is.

Logically speaking, neither deserve a shot just yet, but Smith makes more sense with three straight wins at LHW and one over Oezdemir. Santos is better, but he has just two and his best is Manuwa.

Jon Jones apparently wants to be more active this year (lol if he doesn't pop) and LHW is hilariously thin; otherwise a #1 contender bout (Smith vs. ?), or even Rockhold moving up, would make more sense than an immediate Smith shot too.

Santos also has 3 straight wins and he beat Smith convincingly less than a year ago. I notice Santos is scheduled to fight Blachowicz in Feb so I assume the winner will face the winner (ahem) of Jones/Smith.

Anthony Smith has more hype behind him at the moment because he beat bigger names. It's a sad state of affairs that either is line for a title shot IMO. Just shows how weak the LHW division is. Both of these guys lost in 2018 at MW. BTW, both of their debuts at LHW were against middleweights.

I wouldn't be too worried though. It appears that Jones will be a very active fighter. He should have plenty of availability to destroy both of these guys and any other contenders the UFC wants to feed him.

Reyes and Anderson are right up there as far as title contenders.

Jon Jones was tested by CSAC and USADA on the night he fought Gus, tests came back clean. Really weird, weren't those metabolites supposed to show up in his system for years, maybe forever?

No because he tested clean multiple times before the fight too. The metabolite showed up in 2 tests taken in August and September of 2018. However, it didn't show up in 4 tests taken between September 2018 and November 2018 but then showed up again in the December 9th test. Doctors concluded that Jones did not ingest anything between August 2018 and December 2018.

Can't wait until 5 of the other fights are cancelled and jones gets busted for like 10 different metabolites. "It was pulsing from tainted medication his mother took when she was pregnant with him"

That card can afford to lose some fights.

Mickey probably gonna call out BJ Penn after the fight then the stage should be set for Mickey v. CM Punk 2.

You're assuming Mickey is going to win this fight? Mickey is doing well and seems to be progressing nicely. For a guy that shouldn't have even been signed by the UFC yet, he's 2-1 against real UFC competition so he deserves a lot of credit for that. Still, Diego has never been submitted in his career and that seems to be Mickey's only path to victory (on paper at least).

They probably made that card assuming that it would happen on its own.

No, it was pulsing "off" during that time. It may decide to pulse "on" at any point in the next 5-7 years, so he may piss hot again, but regardless, he's clean.

mickey wins 100% imo. diego got hurt every time he got hit in the last fight. diego is walking such a fine line for winning fights these days. last fight was a shock, and i plan to make some money on this one.

Well, if he's 100% then for sure bet on him. I expect him to be a big favorite, enough so that I wouldn't bet on him but if you think he's a sure thing then go for it. I don't understand why you think he's a sure thing though.

Diego Sanchez landed more punches in his last fight than Mickey Gall has landed in his entire UFC career (5 fights). More than half of the strikes Gall has landed were on the ground vs CM Punk. Gall has only landed 11 strikes from distance (ie standing) and 1 strike in the clinch in his 5 fight career. His standup has shown to be very rudimentary, although I'm sure he'll continue to show improvements in that area. Still, Gall was literally running away from Randy Brown on the feet.

I just reviewed Gall's fights and he did land a strike vs both Northcutt and Mike Jackson that dropped each of them to setup the finish (it should be noted that Jackson was never anywhere close to being a UFC caliber fighter). So, while his striking is ugly he can throw an overhand with some power which could KO Diego or use that to get it to the ground. Still, I'm not understanding Gall 100% to win this fight. It would be very difficult for Gall to win a decision. Diego only knows one direction and that's forward so he'll apply maximum pressure for the entire 3 rounds. In order to win a decision Gall would likely have to be on top of Diego for the majority of the fight.

TJ by unanimous dec
COWBOY by TKO
JOJO by submission

I guarantee it.

Those are some poor guarantees.

Calderwood is way too slow to deal with Lipski. This is normally my favourite type of fight to bet - a strong regional fighter making their UFC debut vs. an average UFC vet. The odds on this are a little high though with Lipski at -220, I prefer this scenario with the new fighter anywhere from a dog to -150.

Rob Font (+140) vs. George Roop a few years back was when I started to keep an eye out for these types of matches.

I don't like your pick of a past his prime 35 year old Cowboy vs. Hernandez. I like Cowboy but there is a good chance he's going to get merked. Hernandez is impressive.

Will Jones be < 3/1 again? My guess is nope, not till he's a virtual pick or underdog in a few years when he has slipped some and a new beast is on the scene, maybe a heavyweight ... who ends his reign. If he stays in the game until his mid 30's he's going down. Or can he walk on top of it all?

Thought they were gonna get rid of the Men's Flyweight division.

It's not Sunday yet.

Interested in this one. Ladd is 23 and could be good, a much-needed spark of life in a thin division. Finding it difficult to envision her path to victory in this one, though. She is strong as **** but Holm is somehow (��) stronger and won't get bullied like Ladd pulls off against lower-tier opposition; Holm also has a good clinch game. Ladd is plodding and unathletic compared to Holm (who rates really high there for WMMA). Holm's game has holes that make her a cut below the absolute top, but this match-up appears to be a "levels" thing.
