Here are the weigh ins for the event. I ended up not making any bets. Lol. No confidence on my decision making in making picks. I already bet what's left in my Nitrogen account on the Stoke vs Burnley match. Lol.
UFC Fight Night Atlantic City: Weigh Inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBOOznjrlpMGood luck. Hope you win the internets!
I'll probably wait till the last minute to decide whether or not to drop a few plays depending on how things are going for the night.
^ Swanson at 3.00 (at Nitrogen, last time I saw) is looking good imo. I think Edgar is in too much of a hurry to get back competing again. That could be bad... I don't think he's in the right mindset after getting KO'd by Ortega.
Frankie Edgar is rushing back to the octagon and i am not sure what his conditioning is but i think he is super confident that he could take down Swanson like he did in his first fight and win this fight easily.
- Kevin Lee missed weight and i would like to see Barboza wheel kick the lights out of Kevin Lee as he is talking too much as he said he is going to work Barboza and finish him in the first round.
- I am interested in Magomed Bibulatov and i like taking a chance with David Branch too as he is a good striker and he is under rated.
- This is the last fight for Leslie Smith in the UFC as they are releasing her for her efforts of planning to create a fighters union.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Bibulatov wasn't medically cleared to fight and his fight was pulled. Leslie Smith's opponent showed up 1.8 pounds overweight and she declined to take the fight @ catchweight. I think the UFC paid Leslie Smith her show and win money and cut her from the roster.
I'm not certain about Frankie Edgar vs Cub Swanson. I think if Frankie doesn't get the fight to the ground he will probably lose. Being KO'ed about a month ago doesn't help his chances. Frankie might have been better off giving his brain time to fully recover before stepping back into the cage. This type of quick turnaround is the type of thing which can contribute towards greater statistical probability of developing head trauma although in Frankie's case he doesn't cut much if any weight. That's one advantage he has in that he's not dehydrating himself which also contributes towards sustaining greater injury from concussions.
