worst statistical game of his

[jinshuiqian0713]

Dennis Siver is the only thing standing in Conor McGregors way of a featherweight title shot and the two will settle their differences in the main event at UFC Fight Night 59 at TD Garden in Boston on Sunday. You can watch the main card LIVE on TSN2 beginning at 10pm et/7pm pt. In the co-main event, Donald Cerrone steps in on 15-days rest to complete a trilogy with lightweight rival Benson Henderson. Here are TSN.cas predictions for first UFC Fight Night of the year. -- MAIN CARD: Conor McGregor (16-2) vs. Dennis Siver (22-9, 1 NC) Andrew Robichaud, TSN.ca McGregor - The Irishman says the main event in Boston won’t last more than two minutes. He’s been right before and has the ability to be right again. Right now it may seem like disrespect to his opponent, but to McGregor it’s just business. Siver - He doesn’t measure up - literally - to his opponent, but Siver has the kickboxing to keep McGregor at bay for a little while. The quiet German is also pretty fired up as well, if you can believe it. PICK: McGregor via TKO Ken Rodney, TSN.ca McGregor - He’s brash, confident and one of the best fighters in the featherweight division. The Irishman finished his last two fights in the opening round and fights with incredible intensity from bell to bell. Siver - Enters this fight as a heavy underdog and will have to wear his opponent down if he’s going to spring the upset. Has to take the fight deep to have a chance. PICK: McGregor via TKO — Donald Cerrone (22-6, 1 NC) vs. Benson Henderson (21-4) Robichaud Cerrone - He just might be crazy enough to pull this off. He went three rounds two weeks ago, but with six straight wins and enough fire to take out a forest, Cerrone doesn’t look like he’ll be any worse for wear in the trilogy with Henderson. Henderson - He’s beaten Cowboy twice before which technically gives him the edge, but expect this fight to be more about his current standing in the division than earning a third straight victory over Cerrone. PICK: Cerrone via decision Rodney Cerrone - By the time he steps into the Octagon, Cerrone will be 15 days out from his last fight, an impressive victory at UFC 182. Facing someone that has already beaten you twice is a tough enough task, but doing it two weeks after your last bout is either extremely brave or extremely foolish. Henderson - Knocked out for the first time in his career in his last outing, Henderson should have a little extra motivation when he faces Cerrone. While he is brushing off any advantage from having won their first two bouts it has to hold some value heading into the trilogy fight. PICK: Henderson via decision — Uriah Hall (10-4) vs. Ron Stallings (12-6, 1 NC) Robichaud Hall - “Prime Time” is still finding his footing in the UFC, but two straight wins has him on a favourable upswing. He has a long way to go in the middleweight division and needs to maximize the opportunity to prove he belongs with the big boys. Stallings - Not only is Stallings stepping in on extremely short notice, but he is also doing so for his UFC debut. It is an honourable move by the MMA veteran and we’ll soon find out how foolish. PICK: Hall via decision Rodney Hall - A fractured toe didn’t stop Hall from picking up a victory in his last bout against Thiago Santos. He’ll probably be most happy if he gets to the Octagon and his opponent hasn’t changed again after losing both Costas Philippou and Louis Taylor on the way to this matchup. Stallings – Took the fight on a week’s notice which is commendable but obviously put him at a disadvantage. Suffered a decision loss in his last bout, breaking a three fight winning streak. PICK: Hall via TKO — Norman Parke (21-2-1) vs. Gleison Tibau (39-10) Robichaud Parke - Unbeaten in five fights in the UFC (4-0-1), the 28-year-old Irishman should feel right at home in Boston. Parke hasn’t experienced the same boom as his compatriot McGregor, but consider his journey through the lightweight division is well on its way. Tibau - The UFC veteran has been finding ways to beat all different types of competition for over a decade and a win over Parke would match his longest streak with the organization at three consecutive victories. PICK: Tibau via decision Rodney Parke - Hasn’t suffered a defeat since 2010, the only blemish on his record during that time is a majority draw against Leonardo Santos. As with any fight against Tibau, this is an important stepping stone victory for Parke to gain. Tibau - The veteran of 23 previous bouts in the UFC should have a striking advantage in this bout and could use it to get his opponent in trouble early in the fight. PICK: Tibau via decision — PRELIMINARY CARD Robichaud: Pendred over Spencer Rodney: Pendred over Spencer Robichaud: Larkin over Howard Rodney: Howard over Larkin Robichaud: Lipeng over Wade Rodney: Wade over Lipeng Robichaud: Holohan over Howell Rodney: Holohan over Howell Robichaud: Case over Perez Rodney: Case over Perez Robichaud: Rosa over Soriano Rodney: Rosa over Soriano Robichaud: Van Buren over O’Connell Rodney: Van Buren over O’Connell Robichaud: Matsuda over Sanchez Rodney: Sanchez over Matsuda Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку! . - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to meet with Richie Incognito to determine if one of the central figures in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal can help their struggling offensive line.

Whats a trifle more rare, however, is a Sunshine State football team thatd rather be elsewhere. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter their Week 16 matchup with the visiting Green Bay Packers having lost seven consecutive games at Raymond James Stadium, including all six this season. The stretch of home futility is the franchises longest in exactly 37 years, when the expansion version lost its first 13 games on home turf before breaking through to beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Dec. 18, 1977. Weve come close quite a few times at home, Bucs coach Lovie Smith said. Once we get it going, instead of talking about getting that first win we should be talking about, Hey, we havent lost at home. We realize we have a couple of more opportunities, but what better week than (against Green Bay)? Tampa Bays wins this season came at Pittsburgh and Washington in weeks 4 and 11, respectively, but the 27-7 defeat of the Redskins has since been followed by four straight losses in which it has scored 13 points twice and 17 points twice. The Bucs have gotten past 17 points just three times in the other 10 games and are third from last in the NFL in total offense, with an average of 305.9 yards per week. Its the opposite for the Packers, who have posted 31.1 points and 383.6 yards per week, while Tampa Bay has been gashed for weekly averages of 26.2 points and 366.6 yards - both 25th in the league. Smith was zero for his last six against Green Bay while coaching the Chicago Bears, including a 21-14 loss in the NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field in January 2011. The Packers havent faced the Bucs since a 35-26 home win in Week 11 of the 2011 regular season. Hell have a slightly easier day this time around in the absence of Tampa Bay defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, whos lost for the remainder of the season with a sprained right knee. Of course you want to finish the games with your guys, but you have to look at the bigger picture, and thats my overall health, McCoy said. I think we have a lot of great - not good, great - ahead of us for this team, this organization. A big part of that will be my health. Considering the Bucs inability to win at home, something will have to give when it comes to Green Bay, which has gone just 3-4 in seven 2014 road games compared to a pristine 7-0 slate at Lambeau Field. The Packers dropped a surprising 21-13 verdict last week at Buffalo, a defeat that both ended a five-game win streak and dropped them into a tie with Detroit atop the NFC North. The Lions were 19-7 winners when the teams played at Ford Field in September and could clinch the division title this weekend with a win against Chicago coupled with a Green Bay loss to Tampa Bay. If both Detroit and the Packers win this weeek, the crown will be worn by the winner of their Week 17 game in Green Bay.dddddddddddd The Packers can stay in contention for the No. 1 overall seed in the conference if they beat the Bucs and Seattle wins at Arizona. Green Bay at least secures a playoff berth - its sixth straight - with a win, and a loss by either Dallas or Philadelphia. Everything is right in front of us, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. We win out, we still win the North. Rodgers completed just 17-of-42 passes - the 25 incompletions were a career- high - against the Bills, who picked him off twice while holding him to 185 yards. It was the first game this season in which he hadnt thrown a touchdown pass, and put a dent in what had been a league-best 119.0 passer rating. It wasnt my best day by any stretch of the imagination, he said. Ive got to play better for us to win, and I expect more of myself. All five of Rodgers interceptions have come in road games, and hes failed to exceed 210 yards four times in those seven starts. He has 12 TD passes away from home, compared to 23 at Lambeau. The last four road games have resulted in losses to New Orleans and Buffalo and three-point victories over Miami and Minnesota. This is a road game we have to have, said Packers coach Mike McCarthy, who can pass Vince Lombardi on the all-time Green Bay wins list (including postseason). We clearly understand the importance of winning in December, and we need to take it up a notch as a football team. WHAT TO WATCH FOR Getting Rodgers Right As mentioned, Green Bays MVP candidate heads into the weekend after the worst statistical game of his accomplishment-rich career, the loss to the Bills in which he finished with an anemic 34.3 passer rating. Though the Bucs dont present much of a threat when it comes to wins and losses, its worth noticing that Rodgers has started twice in Tampa Bay (in 2008 and 2009) and lost both games. Remember When Another week, another chance for Tampa Bay fans to look back when they think about running back Doug Martin. The now third-year man took the league by storm as a rookie and scored 12 times while amassing 1,454 yards. But he played just six games in 2013 and has 369 rush yards this year while still battling injuries. A good sign: He comes in this week off of 2014s best game - 96 yards against Carolina. OVERALL ANALYSIS Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, and the fact that Rodgers hasnt ever won in Tampa Bay is worth mentioning. But thats about all. Outside of those wins in the Jon Gruden and Raheem Morris eras, the Bucs have precious little to bank on this time around. Regardless of venue, the Packers have more on the line, more to look forward to and are just better by every pertinent measure. Sports Network predicted outcome: Packers 35, Buccaneers 10 ' ' '
