Helwani says the Brandao/Hettes fight is off. Hettes caught Kelvin's flu and is too sick to fight.

CommonShore posted:My theory is that Holm represents a challenge in that she has good enough footwork and to defend takedowns by staying out of clinch/shot range instead of attempting to resist Ronda in the clinch or on the ground, which is what literally every one of her opponents has done so far, and which is retarded because Ronda is really really good there. That's like trying to defend a 2006 Cro Cop LHK by relying on your chin to keep you standing. Do you actually think this or are you posting an outside prediction in the very unlikely event it comes through? If it's the latter I'm with you, no one will remember to quote us afterward if we're wrong.

If it's the latter I'm with you, no one will remember to quote us afterward if we're wrong. It's mostly a general theory about Rousey's style and good strategies for beating her, and in that respect I fully stand by my statement. As far as a prediction for a Holm-Rousey match goes, I'm a bit more hesitant to put my stamp on it. Rather, it's more that I see the strategy and think that if anyone wmma can actually pull it off, it'd be Holm: I'm not saying that Holm would be a favourite to beat Rousey or anything, more that she has the best set of tools.

Cat has a better skillset than Holly Holm by far. Holly is not a one shot KO artist, and with her massive grappling deficiency that would be her only avenue to victory. She can't run backwards fast enough to avoid getting clinched and then obliterated because Ronda can just turtle up, ignore her punches and bully her way in. Cat actually has a small chance to do enough damage to put Ronda in a position where she could get finished.

The stream is live and I'm super excited to hear about UFC rewards. So excited in fact, that I am probably gonna go on a quick Target-run to stock up on beer. Dealing with the increasing number of brazilians piling into my living room might prove to be quite a challenge while sober.

Cat actually has a small chance to do enough damage to put Ronda in a position where she could get finished. The cage is so big that it shouldn't be possible to bull in on a fighter with good footwork, especially for 135 lb women. I don't see this as a BOOM KO thing. I genuinely think that the best formula to beat Rousey is to do a Machida impression and score points from the outside while working backward the whole time, and to deny the clinch at all costs. Not a single one of her opponents has ever done anything to obstruct her clinch. Not loving one. Nobody has even stepped back and circled and just let the fight get started for a bit. So, ignoring the fact that Holm actually has scored one-shot KOs, Zingano's supposed "Better power" is totally worthless, since her "better power" happens on the ground or in the clinch, which is exactly where Rousey wants to be, and where not a single fighter has a hope of obstructing her. Again, clinching with her is like assuming that your chin is good enough to take an hbomb nbd

Rogan has been saying he expects fighters cutting less weight to become a popular trend in the future for like seven years now

So is this a fight or a contest to see who can throw more strikes when not even close to being in range? Oh hey there we go someone finally threw a strike from a real distance.
