Sounds like Gono will the to the second round… I don’t see him lasting much longer than that

I hope he does. I just put a little chump change on Gono and Stun Gun as an accumulator and got £17 for every £1 I put down which are really good odds for MMA bouts.

I usually only bet small amounts just to make it a little more interesting when I’m watching. Only problem is it can be a lot more depressing when you lose cos of 1 fightin an accumulator.

I think Fitch will more than likely take it but Gono has the capability to win and at those odds I think its worth the risk?

Also Stun gun being the underdog, can win if he is 100% ready to bring it. Karo seems a little shaky so it could be a night of upsets…hopefully!

I’d love to see Fitch bulk up to 185 and dominate that division. He is a tough dude.

Fitch is funny, smart and personable. He should get more love from the fans, what is he missing?

A willingness to fight instead of wrestle and hump.

WAR FITCH he seems like such a laid back guy. i dont know why ppl really give gono a chance his career is on its downfall and fitch is probably still in his prime

I like Fitch a lot, he is one of my favorite fighters. I think getting beat by GSP was good for him, its a good way to learn and get better, he had not lost in so long. I think we will see a better Fitch on sat.

Yeah he’s a very likeable guy. Hopefully we will see him back on the main card next time out. He’s probably more explosive and just generally quicker now if he has been working with a strength and conditioning coach. I know he hadn’t really lifted weights in years.

As he said after the GSP fight, speed kills, so hopefully his hand speed has improved.
