UFC 173 Predictions

[Raider24]

Hey brothers, just arrived last night in Vegas for UFC 173. I plan to parlay a bet on Barao, Cormier, Lawler, Mizugaki, Varner for the main card. Just for shits and giggles. Does anyone think Dillashaw or Hendo can pull off the upset tonight? I plan to throw down a little on a Henderson KO as a side bet since it pays so well.

I think as much as I like hendo Cormier will knock out Henderson and bararo will knock out dileshaw

[germ20]

Should be great fights!!

[kubes]

The fight that interests me the most is the Lawler vs Ellenberger

[wook]

I like your picks except for I thing Ellenberger is going to grind out the win... And you never know when or if Hendo will land one of his bombs... Great card, looking forward to it!

kind of agree with you. Elenberger can go either way. The guy has massive punching power and if he gets a clean shot on Robbie it will be lights out for Rob tonight. Gonna be interesting either way

[Raider24]

Holy shit, what a fight card, my voice is gone from cheering for Dillashaw! What a crazy upset win!

[kubes]

Wow I watched the lawyer fight and was excited then the Hendo fight went the way I expected and what a shocker for the main event!!

[wook]

WOW! Didn't see that coming!

One thing about mma is you just never know. I have never really been a Bararo fan so that's pretty cool for Dilishaw. Especially since I think it will be a while before we see if Faber can earn another title shot. I really like team alpha male

[wook]

Faber is my all time fave...

Faber is my all time fave...

I really enjoy watching him compete and he was a great Champion in WEC but on the other hand he just cant seem to win the big fights anymore. He would trash Dilishaw in my opinion though.

[wook]

He doesn't always win, but he is always in shape and puts on a good fight...I want to see him beat up Dominic Cruz before retiring!

Oh yeah for sure I can't stand Dominic Cruz's fighting style. The guy has great cardio but that's all. Latest rumor was that may be fabers next opponent and then the winner is back in title contention

[wook]

Faber calls him the "Decisionator"! LOL Hope that is true, but I don't see Faber fighting Dillashaw because that's Faber's "boy"??? What do you think?

No I don't think Faber and Dilishaw would fight. If Faber goes on another win streak he will just have to move weight classes again. I love Anthony Petis at 155 but I just do not know how effective Faber could be against those bigger guys and I don't think Faber could get down to 125. So Faber may just have to look for an opening at 145 if Jose Aldo moves up in weight which he has talked about

[wook]

Totally agree!

[kubes]

Totally agree!

I would like to see Aldo go up in weight to challenge Petis! Now wouldn't that be a fight?

[wook]

That would be awesome! Is Petis healthy yet?

I haven't seen any recent updates on him
