Can you believe it? Nick at 20 and Robbie at 22. One of the best fire fights

Mazzagati almost ruins the stoppage and tells Nick, 'No talking'

flying_frontkick Nick Diaz at 20 Lawler at 22.. I can believe it, that's why they're both brain dead now haha. Lawler and Diaz are enjoyable to watch solely because of how stupid their style of fighting was in the grand scheme. Playing defense with your face is never a good idea and instead of using more skills, they relied on just brawling too much. Nick had a black belt damn near his whole career that he made useful most of the time on his back after he got knocked down HAHA. I would've like to see Nick develop the mindset of a dominant submission artist against some of the bums he was fighting, he had that potential 

Hot Take: Lawler or Diaz in their prime are not better than Vincente Luque. Also neither in their prime are better than any top 5 welterweight rn. Let's talk about it

Shevchenko vs Murphy
Murphy winning 5 in a row deserves this title shot. That being said, she is so much slower, than Shevchenko. Murphy is tough as hell, and she is going to hang in there until the ref stops it. The talent difference will be very visible and with 98% of people going Shevchenko everyone know it.

Surprised Shevchenko isn't at 100% although I guess the underdog picking account and @worstpredictionman probably keep the number lower.

Yeah Roxy is one of my favorite fighters, but this is a horrendous matchup for her. I don't like it at all, especially because I don't like Santos either.

agripp that Roxanne pick is a sharp pick.. Santos got controlled by Borello for all 3 rounds of their fight, Roxanne, in a training camp where she was preparing for Suarez, should be able to mimic that

This is still one of my favourite KO's of all time for women's MMA, Sarah Kaufman pulling off a slam like this? 



Good night Roxanne

Best Fight Odds puts it at +140 right now. I'll be tempted to try and find a prop to get it closer to +200.

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 3241st

Shevchenko vs. Murphy
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R2
This fight might be the most one sided fight ever. Murphy has heart and can take a punch but she is SOOOOO slow.
Val will pick her apart, take her down, toy with her. Then it'll be Crucifix and the GOAT destroys another pretender. 




I keep reading how terrible 125 Women's division is so I want to make a couple points.
First, the division is still very very young. It'll only go up from here. Second, let's not forget how much of a once in a generation Val is. She is winning title fights flawlessly. No damage taken. Barely sweating. She is so amazing that she's always gonna make her division look terrible.

Erison might as well get merab dec to get the best odds but I don't like the parlay. Sometimes it's not about who you're betting for, it's about the resistance your pick will be facing.

I don’t expect any of the three will be facing much resistance.
