Awesomeness will happen that night.

Perfect showcase fight for the winner (most likely Barboza).

Haha

It’s most likely that 95% of you who’re sooo sure Barboza will easily beat Njokuani haven’t seen any other fight than the one against Lullo.
Sure. he looked great, but Lullo wasn’t a striker at all, while Njokuani can scrap pretty well.
I favor Barboza, but it could, like any other fight, go either way.

Haha

So desperate are you to look knowledgeable on the internet, that you’ve started second guessing how much other people have seen of fighters.

If you actually were the expert you’re trying to portray, you’d have known that he came in with masses of hype backed up by footage of previous fights (both MMA and MT) as well as training footage.

This is an MMA site, more than 5% of the people here are obsessed enough with this shit to have seen a whole heap of him in action, as well as alien head Irokez catching Njokuani multiple times before sparking him out. Between these, I’m fairly sure being confident of a W for Barboza doesn’t make them clueless.

Stating a fight could go either way doesn’t make you appear intelligent, it makes you seem mentally deficient.

Pretty even fight. Until Barboza decides to put AN on his back.

Yeah...protect you thumb...it's the only thing that differentiates you from the monkey...

So is this the first

‘WEC lightweight vs UFC lightweight’ fight that we are getting?

My goodness. Y’all should let go of Barboza’s nuts before they bruise.

Have you even watched any of Barboza's previous fights?

Definitely have, and I admit he’s really good, but Njoukani is miles above any of his other wins. Obviously Edson is the favorite, but Njoukani doesn’t lose on the feet often.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
