UFC on Fox 14: GUS vs. RUMBLE - January 24, 2015 (Discussion Thread)

[ChaosOverkill]

The best use of a third member, a fighter in the booth, is on the fights where one of "Rogan's favorites" is fighting and Joe starts focusing in on what one guy is doing and ignoring the other guy. The fighter will point it out and balance the call. As those are the worst fights Rogan does, where he finds some leg kick spamming or movement or something from one of his favorites some deciding factor and ends up all offended by the judges card when that guy loses or doesn't win clearer.

I like the idea of the 3rd guy being a fighter. It would help get the fighters get more exposure, and give people more opportunity to get to know them as well.

Is anyone pulling for Phil Davis? Call me just bleed, but I can't stand his fighting style.

 

[Wild]

I love Daniel Cormier lol. Dude is such a class act.

good point. they could use it to build their fighters star power.

Yeah I see no downside other than Zuffa not wanting to pay them or holding some notion that Goldie and Rogan are sacred and untouchable.

I'm rooting for Phil. He is from PA and seems like a good guy. I also took him on my parlay.

Well just make me feel like shit now why don't ya...

i like davis in this fight.

So does mousasi get aggressive or just try "not to lose" style that let's him ride out a judges loss as has happened too many times??

 

[Wild]

BRB - gotta get another cup of coffee or I'm not making it thru this entire card

Im taking Bader, simply because he has KO power and Id rather more of his fights than Phils. Having said that I see Phil winning.

Predictions:

Gustafsson | Submission | Round 3
Mousasi | Submission | Round 2
Davis | Decision
Corassani | Decision

That arena is awesome.

The only sub I see AJ being able to get would be some sort of choke and even that to me is highly unlikely.

 

[Ministry of Silly Walks]

if rumble didn't knock davis out, i think he'll be safe against bader. it would take a perfect punch for a ko to happen. bader just never seems to put the big wins together.

Misread my post or a typo? I can definitely see Gus submitting AJ...

Lol..not at all. I understand not liking his fighting style. He lacks power and isn't very aggressive but seems to find ways to pull out wins.

For those stuck somewhere and can't watch. From Reddit: If you are on Android you can download the app mobdro and try to find a stream. Search Google for mobdro.apk

Would love to see Hendo land an h-bomb

 

[ChaosOverkill]

oh awesome my stream has brit commentary now! YAY

 

[newjack900]

I don't understand the reasoning behind Akira and Sicilia opening up a FOX card - yea they're exciting but there's plenty of other exciting type of matchups at higher weight classes that could take place with fighters that have more talent. and could build off the extra exposure. Hell, McCall v Linekar would have more on the line, have more talent, and be just as exciting instead of taking place on the prelims of next week's PPV.

Misread, sorry my bad.

[ChaosOverkill]

Feels like a different event with the change in commentary
