Prediction: wrong Barão   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Jack Slack's articles are always really good, but I don't think that Barao's squaring up against Wineland is a mistake. Barao didn't throw himself off-balance that much, and by squaring up he left his front foot a mile away from Wineland, which is important since Wineland comes from a wrestling background. By squaring up he increased the target size of his body, but he also avoided what could have easily been a successful single-leg attempt. Also, the size of the area Wineland could punch didn't matter - Barao was aware of his reach and out of range by the time he tried to counter.

Barao has 32 wins yet UFC promotes him saying he has 35 win streak. ***?

I'm very glad you won that fight T.J., but I'm not impressed by your performance.

Prediction: wrong Barão   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

MMA boggles my mind sometimes, but in a good way. Dillashaw beating Barao alone was an awesome and shocking moment, but in the context of Team Alpha Male's title fight losing streak it's even more stunning. Dillashaw is probably the fourth most prominent member after Faber, Mendes, and Benavidez and wouldn't have been considered the better 135 fighter over Faber before today. He gets a title shot from mostly blind luck after Weidman's injury moves back his next defense and Barao is chosen to step in, with Assuncao not being healthy enough to take the shot. He completely thrashes Barao for the entire fight, is super fast, has fancy footwork, good head movement, and good power behind his strikes and finishes Barao in the fifth.

... and it's Bang's last official camp as the team's head coach, with his "star pupil" (or as Faber says, the teacher's pet) actually winning the belt mostly using what Bang brought to the team and not their patented wrestling.

The stars aligned perfectly for this one :)

It makes me happy to see Team Alpha Male reacting to the win. Benavidez is about to have a ******* heart attack.

You're an idiot gunn. Yep. 

I live in a completely different country and have yet to come across another user who lives in the same. I also happened to come across multiple previous threads (by accident) where you accused like 3 random members of being Singh. That goes to show me how obsessed you are with this guy and your level of insecurities, because you will glad fully accuse any person who either you don't like, or will as an idiot simply assume being him. I bet the real guy is probably reading everything you say about him and laughing his ass off at you.

Also seemed to notice you both had beef, Motivated really was my first name and I got on with you at first because I had no idea who the hell you were as I was new here.
