UFC 215: Johnson vs Borg Info and Prediction Thread

[roomfirst]

Anyway, how was main event?  Is it worth watching?

It wasn't a good fight. They were both waiting to counter & spent a lot of time not doing anything waiting for the other person to make a move.

Gilbert Melendez vs Jeremy Stephens was a brutal fight. Can't say that was really a good fight either so much as a one sided beat down.

Ilir Latifi vs Tyson Pedro might have been the best fight on the card that wasn't a completely one sided affair.

Wasn't able to watch the fight but I read that the fight is very tactical and they are very careful against each other, so I don't think they lived up to the hype. And they say that the fans are booing, LOL. I guess the 5th round takedown really seal the victory for Nunes. Yes, the Melendes and Stephens fight are brutal and we all know the Gilbert get bloodied always. And Jeremy Stephens won the fight. Will try to look for videos later and watch the fight though.

Yep, this card is really boring af without Johnson vs Borg. Both fighters are playing defensive which is unusual for Nunes, i agree that takedown on 5th round is a lock for Nunes win. Rip for the people who buy per per view, still can't believe though Borg can't fight on this card. When i saw the ufc vlog, borg seems fine.

I feel asleep watching the main event LOL. Yes the fans are booing because they want both fighters to engaged. But they just touch each other until the take down in the fight. Nunes really doesn't have sparks to be a champion unlike the Ronda Rousey, who became the face not only of the bantamweight division, but the UFC for many years. I'm liking him to D. Johnson, although one of the best and the current champion, seems to lack the star power that a champion like Jon Jones. And as champion for me Nunes should at least the aggressor in this fight.

Just as I expected, Nunes vs Shevchenko didn't live to its hype and just a snoozer fight to me. Luckily I didn't watch the fight as well, but did see the fight in Youtube. I read that Nunes said that she will have plans to take some time off following her victory because she needs her sinuses repaired through surgery.

Gilbert Melendez made his return and debut in the featherweight but he came in short. Though he lost, he was able to 'walk' away with the 'Fight of the Night' bonus. But it was brutal to see Jeremy Stephens bombardment Melendez legs from a barrage of kicks, and it was nasty as hell.

Yup, I thought so.  Shev has always been a slow starter and Nunes, I guess she used her energy efficiently, that's why she finished the whole 5 rounds without gassing out?  So yeah, I could imagine the slow first three rounds, and then starts picking up at the fourth.

Is anybody else getting a McGregor hangover?  I don't seem to be looking forward to 216 and 217.  Lol.

You are not the only one mate. I still have that hangover as well. But then seeing this fight after the May-McGregor fight, is seems that I'm not looking to watch unless their are good match or good names in the card.

The Nunes vs Shevchenko was a complete disappointed. Just like others have said, its very tactical, like a chess game. Both are looking for the other one to make a mistake before making a move. Though I'm looking forward at Canelo-GGG on the boxing side.

Valentina vs Amanda fight was such a scam. Valentina clearly won, outstriked her for 5 rounds. The only thing Amanda Nunes did was to go for the takedown on round 5, not much else to be honest. I can't believe how much a of a scam of a split decision that was. Dana White must be so pissed off at this, considering that he was mad at Amanda. I doubt he made Amanda win by paying the judges or something. Didn't enjoy this card, the rest of fighters nobodies for a casual fan like me. I can't wait for the next Ferguson vs Lee main card, that will be great.

I don't think its a scam but just like a said, it didn't live to its hype and it just so happened that the main event was cancelled and their fight became the main event that turns out to be a dull and boring fight. Maybe we are really used to seeing Ronda giving us good fight in the division that why we are expecting more from this women. It was a close fight indeed up until the 5th round takedown of Nunes. I don't think that Dana will give Amanda, as long as she is the champiion the main card event again unless she proves that she can give the fans what they wanted like Ronda Rousey did during her reign.
