Yeah Rebecki is hailed as a top prospect for a reason. There’s also the fact that Lidio has never fought someone with the wrestling caliber of Rebecki. Rebecki is also the significantly smaller guy in this matchup so that should play in favor to his wrestling game.

Also anyone know why SD vs Penaz is at 205? Both guys are 85ers

That would make sense. Seems weird two middleweights would be meeting at 205.

His best win is Aaron "Jobber" Highbaugh 😂

But Penaz best win is MVPs leftovers.

I trust Euro jobbers more than american jobbers

The competition is about even. The difference between the 2 imo is that Penaz is a high level kickboxer. SD is a good striker too but not on the level of Penaz imo. His glory fights are very impressive, of course the difference between kickboxing and mma is substantial so that could benefit Dumas

It’s awesome matchmaking though, 2 tall powerful strikers who end fights quickly

His debut what against Clarence Brown, this is what Tapology writes about him:

This fighter has been found by Tapology to have engaged in activity which does not conform to combat sports standards:

  • Has purposely participated in bouts with no reasonable path to victory, displayed a lack of competitive effort, and is unjustifiably matched against far more skilled opponents.

One or more bouts on this fighter's record have been marked as ineligible and do not count towards either participant's Win/Loss record, and are excluded from tabulation when calculating Tapology's Fighter Rankings. Future opponents of this fighter are advised that a bout against this fighter may be classified with the same ineligible status.


Maybe that poster meant better experience in a sense getting cans and the experience being cakewalk.

Everyone made weight. Kino****a had a rough cut and needed the box but he made weight and didn’t look terrible on the scales

"The competition is about even"

Yeahm I don't think so. Figthing for one of the bigger european organization (the fastest growing one) vs some truly regional no name US ones. Plus Cheick Kone alone has as many wins as Dumas' opponents combines (at the of the fight, many still have 1 total though). Only one of Dumas' opponents has a winning record since. Half of Peňáz's do. By no means that means one is better than the other, surely not 10 times out of 10 but claiming Dumas was somehow more tested than Peňáz in his MMA career is absurd.

Taking Bilder by KO is weird considering he has 1 TKO finish and the rest subs. I think Alex wins on points unless Bilder can get a sub. Goes to a decision.

All of these winners are probably going actually have a decent UFC career. For everyone that says that DWCS mainly sucks, it is not that DWCS sucks in general, but sometimes they take two dudes that aren't UFC talent and put them against each other b/c they think that the fight will develop them or create a good fight, so they sometimes choose good matchups over high-level talent. No one on this card particularly is not UFC talent imo except for maybe Alex Morgan, but idk too much about him b/c I don't watch too many fights from Canada. I never heard of either of the main event, but usually the main event are the most UFC ready dudes so.

yeah I was thinking that too. This is one of the most talent filled episodes. Only people I dont see doing well in the ufc is Morgan/bilder winner and Henrique if he wins. Everyone else seems to be a very high quality fighter and theres many I see being top 15 level in the ufc
