The quit in Olivera is what’s worrisome. Hooker deserves more respect for his standup. But just for the record I pick dustin to win. But I will have a few Olivera parlays and props. These are just my opinions. Anything can and will happen once the bells rings.

Some MMA math , which ik doesn't matter.. Felder TKOd Charles and Hooker beat Felder. With that said , Hooker finishes Charles. Hooker has some of the best stand up in the UFC. Simple.

but there's no point in having this argument as hooker and Oliviera aren't fighting and never will

he still would sub hooker but as I said, no point in having this discussion as they aren't fighting.

Gonna need to rewatch some fights but I like Cruz at pickem for a bet. I get Munhoz has those crippling leg kicks, but I see him as a lot slower than Cruz and more hittable. In terms of using his BJJ I also see it very tough for him to take Cruz down as Pedro is a mediocre wrestler and Dom has great takedown defense. It's interesting cause maybe I'm talking myself into thinking Cruz is the same guy as before which he isn't but I still believe he's a value side here. Ignore my profile pic too I'm not a Cruz stan I just think the pic is funny, everything is nonsubjective.

I'll avoid betting Cruz at even odds tbh, I don't think he look overly great against Casey Kenny, He clearly won the fight, Don't get me wrong, But it was a close one, I think it was 1-1 going into the 3rd, The stand up in the third was 50-50, But Cruz got a clutch takedown to seal the round, 

I think Munhoz is a top 10/15 guy, while Kenny is top 20/25, Munhoz should have better kickboxing than Kenny, And Cruz will be in danger shooting because Munhoz is legit on the ground, Also Cruz is getting worst every day at this point, Not better, So he not the young guy who improve after a fight like that, So a step up in compution could be bad, I Also thought Song Yadong had a better performance against Kenny, Then Cruz tbh

 A cool stat I saw on fightmetic is that Munhoz is all his recent fight, Landed at least 30 leg kick and thrown at least 40, And that good against Cruz who does get hit by leg kicks a lot and is a movement fighter, I think that will slow down Cruz for Pedro to hit him hard in the 2nd and 3rd

When has Do Bronx ever quit?? Where is this coming from, other than Justin Gaethje saying it out of nowhere? Did Poirier not "quit" against Khabib by this caveman logic? I don't get it

I guess they think a fighter can't improve and I guess they may be talking about how he tapped against Felder and Felder just kept raining down elbows. Just silliness.
