I thought Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum II is cancelled and Junior Dos Santos wants to replace Cain Velasquez.

Both are the best female competitors right now in my book. You could say Cris Cyborg is also a top contender but she was just recently caught doping so im not sure what's going to happen with her career now... I always thought she looked a bit weird as if she was on steroids or something, then again you never know, I think everyone in the sport is on steroids.

[Malsetid]

Im gonna go for Amanda Nunez in this match. Shes more masculine than ronda rousey. Rousey will get knock out if she is not careful just like whats happen to her versus Holms. She knock her out with huge kick to her jaw. Nunez is no joke. Shes dangerous and more powerful in terms of striking. The chance that rousey will win this bout is very thin. If she use her wrestling skill well, theres a possibilty she will win this bout.

For me though, it seems that after that loss to holly holmes people started doubting what rhonda can do. She's been fighting and beating hard hitters before that loss and i think rousey still has a good chance in winning this one, that is if her confidence is back to where is was. It would be more on the psychological end i think. Although if she gets hit by Nunez, it's going to be retirement for her

[swogerino]

I'd take Nunez in 2nd round.
Any place I can place my 100mbtc at for the best odds on that.
It's a week away so the odds won't be that great until the last hour of the fight when announcements are made and speculation starts to take hold.

I thought Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum II is cancelled and Junior Dos Santos wants to replace Cain Velasquez.

Is it because of Cain's back injury? I googled what you said and I cannot find any news about Cain versus Fabricio being cancelled. What I see is Cain talking down his back injury and he is saying that it is manageable. Junior Dos Santos is scheduled for another event I think on January.

[tokeweed]

Heavy betting towards Nunes is moving the line down and up for Rousey.  If Rousey's odds reach around 1.90 by Friday I could end up betting for her plus some Ronda win via sub props.

It's from the post of Brandon Vera through his facebook page entimports and yes its because of Cain's back injury. I just found it also weird that instead of Cain preparing his body for a surgery, he instead signed up for a fight, it could do more damage if he continue to fight then do surgery later.

damn it they cancelled the cain vs werdum fight sucks i had a few bets on werdum

Nice catch. I did not believe you at first to be quite honest. But I knew that there is some truth to the news because there were articles online that were saying Cain started using CBD to manage the pain in his back.

Here's a quote from Ronda Rousey on why she's not participating in the media events to promote UFC 207.

was just trying to make too many people happy,” Rousey told ESPN. “But when I try and do favors and make everybody else happy, at the end of the day, they walk away happy and I’m the one who has to deal with the depression. All the pay-per-views in the world, all the money in the world, it means (expletive) nothing to me because I lost.”

With that kind of attitude coming in this fight, I think there's still hope for her even if (I think) she's still mentally affected from her loss.

Hey guys, just dropping by to post a couple of videos as UFC 207 gets closer and closer.  This is one of the most exciting UFC events ever and if you're a fan, you'd be crazy not to watch this live...  Preferably in a pub getting drunk with your mates.  

I recommend you guys watch the vlog series too.  They give good info on the mindset of each fighter days before the event.

This is another excellent breakdown by Dan Hardy.  Nuff said.

The wait is almost over, im not gonna lie im pretty hyped to see Ronda's return into the octagon but im also very excited to see the Cruz fight, he is one of the best ever in my book, only lost once to Farber then got a win in the last rematch. Cody is an undefeated fighter and it's always exciting to see undefeated fighters with a good record fight (he has 10-0). Pretty difficult to pick bets for this one.

[bbc.reporter]

@thejaytiesto. Amanda Nunes is going to win this unless Ronda has adjusted to a type of opponent who likes to fight with a little distance like Holly Holm and Amanda. What Amanda will do is avoid Ronda on the clinch by limping her arm and pulling herself back out. Watch the fight between Amanda and Meisha again and see what I mean.

I can't believe that there are so few UFC fans here in the forum.  I wonder what it would take to convince them that the UFC will be the biggest fighting based sport that would replace boxing.  As some analysts are already saying, 'boxing is dying'.  After Manny Pacquiao, I don't know who else to watch in that sport.

Here's a couple of videos to get those people who are not into UFC to watch and hopefully get excited over.  Enjoy!

thanks for the encouragement i'm also not a big fan of ufc but like you after pacman i didn't see any exciting fight anymore in the world of boxing so i decided to look for any alternatives and learn about ufc, this rousey is she the girl in fast in the furious right? how she wins the last time i've heard about her is she loses his belt, i'll be betting for her good luck and thanks again OP.

[nydiacaskey01]

UFC 207 will be memorable not only because of Rouseys return, but also this will be the last day of veteran announcer Mike Goldberg in UFC. His inputs and blow by blow side comments will be missed. I heard Joe Rogan is next to move out of UFC. It looks like the new managemet of UFC is giving everyone a hard time.

damn it they cancelled the cain vs werdum fight sucks i had a few bets on werdum

Cain Velasquez really did not want to fight Werdum and so he used the help of media to get pulled out of a fight if not who in the right sense would publicly talk about an injury if you are planning to fight because the opponent will target the weak spot and so it is really clear that Cain does not want to fight this match .He should retire now with his fragile body its not good for him to continue like this.

[bbc.reporter]

Is it just me or does anybody else think Ronda will make a shocking announcement that she will retire from the UFC if she wins. Ever since her loss to Holly, she has already become an enigma and her journey in fighting has become truly a personal one. This might be her last fight.
