Lets go Juan Adams!

Supercross it is

Man I don't know anyone anymore, Latifi now a heavyweight? 

Not very interesting 

IN!

Lewis gonna KO Latifi.

Not sure why ESPN doesn't quit being stupid about streaming and just put all it's content on plus. The fact that half of it requires a full blown cable TV subscription isn't going to make anyone want to sign up for cable.

Lewis gonna KO Latifi.

Big power both ways. It can go either way.. but if Good Cardio Lewis shows up, it's going to be a rough night for Latifi.

Very interested in seeing how Dominick will overcome the significant reach advantage for Jones. 84.5" vs 77". 

Jon Jones is certainly being asked to carry this show.

Reyes is 12 fights into his career. Too early to face the GOAT surely?

But by all accounts Bones is of the Sauce. No more salt in the swimming pool. No more cocaine, strip clubs and dick pills. No more Turinabol. No more Bentley Continental GTs. No more Clomifene and letrozole. No more 30month deductions from a 4 year ban for providing 'Substantial Evidence' to USADA. No more 'Not intelligently cheating according to USADA CEO. 

 

So you never know! That said, I predict Jones pokes him in the eye, takes Reyes down for an early tko win. Corey Anderson deserved the shot imo. KOing Johnny Walker > Chris Weidman. 

$65 for this garbage...tfoh

missing Giles vs Krause on that card.

missing Giles vs Krause on that card.

Three fights ago Krause was fighting at LW. He stepped up on one day's notice for this fight, weighing in at 183.5. 

lol

If people are stupid enough to pay for these cards the ufc will keep serving them up.
