    An Idiots Predictions for UFC 211

    Peter Knox 13/05/2017

    Living up to the self-titled ‘idiot’ name, I correctly selected 1 out of 5 picks for UFC 210. But, like a young Frankie Edgar, I shall rise from this first knockdown and continue to blindly swing for the rafters… if I get knocked down again, I shall rise once more… even if I get knocked down a third time, I shall come back and win a decision, cuz I got HART. Just to recap, these picks aren’t based on deep analysis, statistics or even sanity, these are picks based on jovial ideas from a fan who loves the idea of the improbable. UFC 211 is the first blow-your-socks-off card of 2017. UFC 209 was threatening to blow my socks off, subsequent events made sure not only did my socks stay on, but over the course of the main event I actually reapplied all my clothing until I was fully dressed… something I find to be completely unnecessary during my UFC downtime (creep). Headlined by Heavyweight champ Miocic, the card takes place in his hometown Clev….Dallas, the card takes place in Dallas.  So lets make like funny twins and get twowit… lord that is bad…

    Kevin Lee, and Michael Chiesa brawl at UFC press conference

    Lewis Smith 13/05/2017

    It was an eventful afternoon at the UFC’s summer kickoff press conference- which saw a fired up Michael Chiesa lunge across the stage at opponent, Kevin Lee. The pair had to be separated by security and escorted away, as Chiesa charged across the stage – with Lee landing a punch – after a number of heated words were exchanged. It all started when Lee mentioned Chiesa’s mother, something the former TUF winner didn’t take to kindly to. “He’s gonna headline because of me,” Said Lee. “After that, he’s going back to the prelims. But I just hope he shows up, because I know his momma’s got tickets.” Chiesa replied, “Don’t you ever talk about my f*cking mom. … I’m gonna smack the f*ck out of your right now, don’t you ever talk about my mom.” Chiesa proceeded to drop the mic and run over to Lee’s side of the stage. Security held both men back, though not before Lee threw a right hand over a security guard’s shoulder. The pair were both held off stage but were able to return for the stare down. The two will meet in the main event of UFC Fight Night 112 on June 25 in Oklahoma City.
