I like to see how Kevin Lee is going to perform against Michael Chiesa,he is copying and imitating word by word of Conor McGregor and would like to see whether he could keep up with his words,i think Michael Chiesa could finish the fight with his slick submission.I would like to see B.J. Penn retire after this match with a win and he should focus his time with Submission Underground tournaments.

The trash talk is well under way & it looks like both fighters hate each other
As for the fight itself, I think it'll be close, difficult to call but Lee to win in my opinion.

I dont really like this card. Seeing BJ Penn fight again is on my interest because I used to follow his fights but he is so out of his prime, should retire soon. I dont really recognize the rest of the names because im not a hardcore UFC ban, I only know the bigger names, so I will not really gamble with this one.

I'm not saying that this is a pretty stack up event but its FN so no problem for me. I'm seeing some familiars names and some of my favorites like, Hendricks, Boetsch, BJ Penn, Clay Guida, Siver, Erik Koch, Carla Esperanza.

As for the main event, I will go with Lee here. It will be a close fight but definitely Lee looks to me if more solid of the two.

Bellator 180: Chael Sonnen vs Wanderlei Silva is july 24th, the day before FN 112.

Not certain who wins the main event of Chiesa vs Lee. One thing to keep in mind is Jim Lee was battling lyme disease when he fought Chiesa. If they fought again, a healthy Jim Lee could beat Chiesa. I don't think it would be as one sided as it was the last time they fought. Beneil Dariush also could have had a serious injury when he fought Chiesa. Going into this card, Chiesa could be a bit overrated.

Well i've heard Kevin Lee several times in the past, I think he is the guy going around saying that he can beat Conor McGregor. He has massive reach and good technique, I would like to see such a fight, but I would rather see Conor-Khabib or Conor-Ferguson.

[krach]

So far I have
Herring
Siver

Yeah pretty weak card IMO as well, but it's a fight night.  BJ Penn takes such a beat down in his last few fights...not sure why he's still fighting.  Doesn't have anything to prove at this point.  He should have retired a couple fights ago.

I like this card better than the Singapore card, imo it is not bad for a fight night.

Here is my video, also with some quick Bellator picks, is there a thread for that?

I am not a fan of all these fighters except BJ Penn. I would say I am looking at a 2nd round Knockout win of BJ Penn against Dennis Silver even if Penn seem to be nearing retirement. Go PENN!

[notserp]

im liking


Tim Boetsch
B.J. Penn please get one last win for us lol

I would hope for the same outcome...but I haven't seen the BJ Penn with that killer instinct in a VERY long time.  My guess is that it'll go to a decision.

I wouldnt mix being a fan and betting, you will get burned.

I didn't realize Reyes took the fight on only two weeks notice. Late notice and a big favorite. If Reyes makes weight that must mean he was already training for a fight and the late notice won't hurt him at all?

BJ Penn doesn't want to retire off a loss? I would guess that's the reason he keeps fighting.

wtf johnny missed weight at MW lolol

wtf johnny missed weight at MW lolol

Yes it is ,he came in at 188 pounds,really disappointed with his determination ,i really doubt whether he is motivated anymore to even fight,missing weight even at 185 pounds cannot be acceptable ,he might be walking around as a heavyweight and so is the reason he is struggling to make weight,he should retire if he is not fully into the fight game,he will have to give a good amount of his purse to his opponent,i do not understand his motivation at all.

Hendricks hasn't looked right since the Wonderboy fight.  Always struggling with weight, doesn't seem to be motivated at all to fight...seems like a chore for him nowadays.

This week belongs to Bellator as they have a stacked PPV card in Madison square garden and the fights i am looking for are Phil Davis defending his belt againt Ryan Bader ,then we have Douglas Lima taking on Lorenz Larkin and Michael Chandler will be fighting on the card as well along with the spectacle of Fedor Emelianenko taking on Matt Mitrione and Chael Sonnen facing Wanderlei Silva.
For the UFC card,i am going with Michael Chiesa, disappointed with Johny Hendricks as he missed weight even at 185 pounds and i would like to see BJ Penn win the fight and retire for good.

   

[rytyr]

I am going for Lee!
He is the best at what he does and no doubt be the winner of this battle.
I jsut can't wait for it to start!
So excited here right now.
