Here is the clip of Tyson sparring at 53 years of age. The speed and punching power is not to be messed even at this age and against a MMA striker he will have a chance even at this age.

If you are talking about Jon Jones and his punching power and facing Mike Tyson then it is not a big worry but you cannot compare every MMA striker and Francis Ngannou or Stipe Miocic could knock any active boxers and Miocic is a golden glove champion.
With age reflex goes down and i am also impressed by the videos of Tyson sparring but it is not wise to fight an active top fighter even for charity.

Sparring clips of 10 to 15 seconds will not prove anything but he might stand a chance against MMA strikers for charity events even at 53 years of age but i would like to see against similar retired boxers who are still training.

These small clips will not prove anything but Tyson is not talking about fighting professionally at this age, his idea is to make some quick money for charity and he is looking for opponents that could raise the maximum amount of money, if Tyson gets knocked out he gets knocked out as this is his wish to test his animal instincts at 53 years and anyone who loves Tyson does not want to see him fight and that includes Dana White but Tyson is not willing to hear their advice.

Jon Jones is trolling online and i do not think that he will take a charity fight with a 53 year old Tyson, Tyson offered $100 million for Jon Jones and he just said he is listening and with the battle against Dana White regarding the pay, it is all about trolling and having fun during corona. Despite that if anyone says that Tyson will not last three rounds against a MMA fighter for charity is a joke.

Great chance for Poirier to rehabilitate from his previous loss 
Pena - funny hairstyle. He must be dying with it during hot summer days.

^  Thanks...  I'll use it on the first page, k?  

Here are a couple of tapes to watch.  I think Poirier's gonna win...  But his line is so deep now so I bet on the over 2.5 rounds at 1.84 a couple of days ago.  I think it's gonna go the distance since both are rangey fighters.  

Poirier to win by decision at 4.59 at FJ could be good imo.  Let's wait for the Rent Free MMA guys' and JanpriX's break downs.

Sure. As I told you few months ago, you can use my posts with event info without asking 
Hope forums plagiarism mechanism wont cant your posts on first page as plagiarism.

Only Poirier from the main card is familiar to me. Maybe you could advice some fights that will be exciting to watch and I should not miss them?

Poirier is the only well known. But while I watch that Hooker vs Feldman, Hooker seems like a calculated fighter. He knows what he is doing and with long arms for his advantage, it can pretty much be a good fight against Poirier. The rest in the card will be puzzling for a bettor to go. I would likely give it a go to underdogs for 0.05ETH or maybe lesser.

Lightweight fight Dustin Poirier with Dan Hooker should be interesting to watch.
Odds are in favor of Poirier but I will be picking Hooker as a winner.
Hooker has small reach advantage and can fight good from orthodox and southpaw.

[eaLiTy]

if Tyson gets knocked out he gets knocked out as this is his wish to test his animal instincts at 53 years and anyone who loves Tyson does not want to see him fight and that includes Dana White but Tyson is not willing to hear their advice.

This is exactly the reason many of Mike Tyson fans does not really want to see him fight again at 53, i have seen many legendary boxers in the past having life long disability like Muhammad Ali and the damage you might get to the brain will be huge even for charity.

Here are a couple of tapes to watch.  I think Poirier's gonna win...  But his line is so deep now so I bet on the over 2.5 rounds at 1.84 a couple of days ago.  I think it's gonna go the distance since both are rangey fighters.  

Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker will be a stand up battle and over 2.5 rounds is a good bet and it is going to be a great battle and the winner could challenge Conor McGregor and if Dustin Poirier wins it could be a good rematch and yet another high earning match for the UFC as Dustin Poirier has improved a lot from his first fight with Conor.

The other fight you should look forward is Mike Perry where is coming into this fight with no coaches and his girlfriend will be in the corner  .

^  Lawl.  I head that from Rent Free MMA.  

Anyway here's the vid.  There's not much info in this one tho.

Nope.  Not much advice from me except the over 2.5 rounds.  Even Rent Free MMA doesn't have a serious pick except for Poirier ML which the Puertorican already made last week at the good price at 1.59ish.  Let's wait for JanpriX's picks.  



I did decide to gamble small on Poirier to win at round 4 at 11.41, at round 5 at 14.11 and by decision at 3.64 since he's so confident.  

What do you guys think about the over 1.5 at 2.06 for Perry vs Gall?  Gall's mostly a wrestler, BBJ guy.  So he could prolly hold Perry off for a couple of rounds...

[ene1980]

This looks crazy but still Mike Perry is the favorite in the fight and Mickey Gall is a heavy underdog, i assume that Mike Perry did not train enough for this fight as he is not having a coach in his corner and yet why is he a big favorite in this fight, is there something i am missing. I have seen Mickey Gall fight but that was against CM Punk and Sage Northcutt but then he lost two fights in that period, so i am not sure what to take about this situation.

Poirier vs. Hooker

Faceoffs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJg_LuRLD-M

Nice to see everyone on weight this time. I still find it awkward seeing them in masks during faceoffs 

I'm gonna sit on this one. No particular pick but I would like Poirier to win.


I just found out that Alexander Gustaffson is coming back as a Heavyweight to face Fabricio Werdum on July 25. No wonder I saw a picture of him circulating in social media the other day and he looked out of shape.

[tokeweed]

Made a bet for the over 1.5 for Perry vs Gall at 2.02 now...  Line went low a bit.  So that's that, the over 2.5 for the main event at 1.84 and the round betting for Poirer at 4 and 5 or by decision for this event. 

Good luck to everybody.

I am a bit confused with Mike Perry and Mickey Gall fight, why is Mike Perry the heavy favorite when he lost 5 of his last 7 fights and he is claiming in all the pre fight interviews that his girlfriend will be in the corner for this fight which is really crazy but i do not understand the odds and why he is such a heavy favorite, i am going with Mickey Gall simply because of the odds and because of his ground skills.

[notblox1]

Only few hours left for start of next UFC event.
To prepare you can watch interesting interview with Dan Hooker with Ariel Helwani as he talk about how he got US visa
and his expectations to finish Dustin Poirier and win the fight.

i am going with Mickey Gall simply because of the odds and because of his ground skills.

The only reason for his heavy favorite for Mike Perry is simply because the biggest introduction to UFC for Mickey Gall was against CM Punk and then against Sage Northcutt who was a hype train created by the UFC because of his looks and athleticism and Gall could defeat them easily but then the myth behind Sage Northcutt was busted as he started loosing against mid level fighters and the only high performance of Mickey Gall is against these two novice fighters and he lost a couple of fights in between and Mike Perry is a knockout artist and even though he is not in his best form for several fights all the pundits expect the fight to end as a knockout in favor of Perry.

I hope you guys have won your bets if you bet on Mike Perry. I liked the fight, it was emotional to see Mike Perry's girlfriend in his corner.

Where do I put the ice? She says.

Dustin Poirier vs Dan Hooker was amazing bloody main event and candidate for the Fight of the Year!
Congrats to both fighters for great performance and both of them receiving $50,000 bonus!

Poirier vs. hooker was lit!

That round 2 exchanges seems like the entire five rounds to me. Hard to believe both were still standing after trading clean punches throughout that round although Poirier may have been saved by the bell. In the end, it's probably the experience of being an interim champ and having fought the likes of Khabib and Conor that helped him pull a narrow win (even if it's unanimous decision). Congrats to both fighters! What a great treat for fight fans.

Who's next?
Dustin vs. Tony?
Dustin vs. Conor (if he decides to come out of "retirement")?


Full results:

Dustin Poirier def. Dan Hooker via unanimous decision
Mike Perry def. Mickey Gall via unanimous decision
Maurice Greene def. Gian Villante via third-round submission (arm triangle choke)
Brendan Allen def. Kyle Daukaus via unanimous decision
Takashi Sato def. Jason Witt via first-round TKO (punches)
Julian Erosa def. Sean Woodson via third-round submission (D'Arce choke)
Khama Worthy def.Luis Pena via third-round submission (guillotine choke)
Tanner Boser def. Philipe Lins via first-round TKO (punches)
Kay Hansen def. Jinh Yu Frey via third-round submission (armbar)
Youssef Zalal def. Jordan Griffin via unanimous decision

You mean MMA?

Tony challenged Conor in his twitter and I think that would be far more interesting than Dustin vs Tony or Conor.
Even though, Dustin has more chances agains Tony than vs Conor. And Conor will be more interested to fight Tony than Dustin.
