I got the same for main and co, but I think Simon smokes Yahya and I got Crute and Kassem

Yeah I’m throwing darts in the dark here. I don’t know about Crute & 80% of the other fighters to make accurate predictions.

Yeah we will see

BJ Penn Forever - Next weekend's ESPN card is better than tonight's PPV. This stuff happened when UFC got on FOX too.

Dana clearly said in a recent interview when asked why they still do PPV and he basically said because people still buy it.

If people stopped buying PPV then UFC would move to a WWE model or do everything in a cable deal with ESPN/FOX etc… but people keep buying.

24

Picking the kiwi here

25

I'd classify that fight as a slimmerknocker

Very fun to watch tho

26

Well, they threw the fuck down, Nice to see Kai Kara get another shot in the UFC, this kid can hit. 

27

I predict Silva gets knocked out while he's on his back.

28

Anik: Here in Melbun Strayya

29

All 3 fights have been entertaining so far...

30

Crowd is still going nuts for the fights here. Cheering for takedowns, guard passes and sweeps. Educated crowd so far. Best call of the day so far is " kick him in the hernia " haha

31

Rod Laver, lawwwwd saveus

32

1-0 Kara-France

33

1 maybe 1

34

France is game. The size difference is hurting him

35

I have it 1-1

36

1-1, Kara-France landed some clean shots, but I don't think it was enough. 10-9 Paiva.

37

And THAT is how you take a man down.

38

Brutal nut shot.

39

Both get to rest but one has sore balls. 

40

If MMA has taught you anything it is that eye pokes and groin strikes are great techniques when faced with real danger.
