PFL 2: 2022 Regular Season

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Salmon fought nicely in his last fight, and Moraes showed great heart last year coming back from being KO'd by Loughanne. Should be a good scrap.

Goltsov vs. Goodale
Denis Goltsov, TKO, R1
Original can pulls out so you replace him with an even worse one, nice.

Bruno under 1.5 , Renan under 1.5 , Goltsov under 1.5 , Ante under 1.5 , Keresh under 1.5. Lol , there's gonna be a lot of finishes. 

I have every fight being either a decision or a first round ko lol

I agree. Only sub I think may happen is Renan. Either G&P or a Sub. 

Are the prelims on that weird channel you gotta pay for still?

Prelims are on ESPN+

Thank you, sir. 

Well its not pfl. Its the commission 

Bochniak vs Jenkins? The obvious is Jenkins by wrestle ****, but can his cardio hold? And also is Bochniak decent at defending takedowns? How is his jujitsu and get ups from the bottom? Genuinely asking because I haven’t watched bubba and it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bochniak so I can’t really remember but I know he’s a pressure fighter who likes to slug and has pretty decent cardio. Just trying to figure out where to lay the money and see if Bochniak has a shot or will just be wrestled and controlled 

bochniak will not win. cmon now

the jenkins dec is the most easiest play on the card

I’m not disagreeing at all, but what’s your insight? The obvious discrepancy that I see between the two is the wrestling. And my current guess is Jenkins will wrestle and control him to a decision. But I don’t watch Jenkins I’m new to PFL so I don’t know how good his control and cardio are. Is there anyone you can compare Jenkins to?

Also does Jenkins have any creds as a wrestler or is he just a guy that’s naturally good 

jenkins is just a level above him that simple.

bubba jenkins is alright, he is not an elite fighter. he is solid. he cannot beat a certain level of fighter

but kyle bochniak is not that good. yes hes fun, but hes just not that good. he goes 2-5(some say it should be 1-6 because of the barzola fight) in the ufc which should already be a red flag.  his wins since the ufc departure have been against some regional guys that couldnt last in the big leagues. hes beaten caio urugai, marcus brimage, and carlton minus. and mind you these were all competitive fights, hes not blowing these guys away. caio is like a 8-5 regional guy who hasnt done much in his career. marcus brimage is 7-8 in mma and his last win was in 2014 on the bisping vs rockhold 1 card(thats a long time ago). carlton minus is an alaska fc fighter(historically not a good sign), went 0-2 in the ufc, has no grappling. some even say minus is one of the worst fighters to ever get signed to the ufc(i think theres plenty worse). kyle bochniak was a 3-1 favorite over minus and it went to a split.

kyle comes forward, isnt technical, has serviceable cardio, wrestling can work agaisnt very low level opposition, and not a sub threat. 

so how does bochniak win. thats the real question. he hasnt finished anybody since 2015 on the new england regional scene. dosent have ko power. dosent have a crazy output that could overwhelm jenkins, sub game not really there. and to win by dec. he has to win minutes and if hes constantly getting takendown, i see it hard for him to win a dec. he does come forward which could pursway dumb judges but i dont see it.

the reason why i think jenkins by dec is because jenkins aint a big finisher and kyle is notoriuosly durable. hes fought zabit, dawodu, woodson. and has never been stopped.

Great break down, appreciate it!

Jenkins was a beast in college. D1 all American for ASU and he also made a couple big 10 champ appearances at Penn state. He’s beaten guys like David Taylor and he’s beaten lance palmer in wrestling as well as mma

NERVOUS ADAM KERESH MIGHT CRUSH THE PARLAY . ANY THOUGHTS?

Abreu sucks
