Caio vs. Muradov isn't a "mismatch" whatsoever. Its a great clash of styles. Mach is much better than his last showing where he panicked after getting his eye poked and low blowed. 

Dont sleep on the travel fatigue for this card either. Knowing where guys train out of and how long they've been in Abu Dhabi acclimating to the heat is a key variable to consider. This card is loaded with fighters from the other side of the world who are just a hop, skip and jump away from Abu Dhabi vs. North/South American fighters who might have serious jet lag.

Because heights are stupid. He's 6'1, it's his height on Sherdog. Most fighters lie about their height and say they're taller than they are, but he's the first to do it in the opposite way. Lower his opponents expectations I guess

Yea it's obviously off. Caio looked way taller than Gadzhi and Gadzhi is supposedly 6'1 or something...

Charles can submit off his back. He can't submit Islam off his back. Islam has rolled with ADCC champs at AKA who attest to not being able to submit him. Sambo beats BJJ in MMA all day. Sorry jitz nerds. Brazillian black belts are like 4 -27 in UFC against Russian sambo guys last time I checked.

I don't see how muradov beats caio if caio doesn't gas out hard after 1.5rounds because of the abu dhabi weather.

If Sambo was easy it would be called jiu-jitsu

I'm going dark now and won't be back until the show starts. 

I look forward to making fun of chaotic and el222 for how foolish they have been for questioning Makhachev, I hope the rest of the people who chose Islam will join me in tormenting them. 

Peace out.

*Edit - Add foppa420 to the list, he is also of low intelligence. Thank you
