@Ayy I've actually been impressed with Menifield during his last couple of fights. I think he's just been inconsistent and starting to figure it out. I may be incredibly wrong about him tho, and he might get starched by Crute. I also don't think Crute is that good either, but I don't think he's bad at all

I think crute is okay and just got pushed too fast, and Alonzo is just bad. He has looked much improved, but his level of competition is just awful
He’s fought
Fabio cherant - 0-3 in the ufc, not remotely ready, short notice
Ed herman - 42 year old senior citizen
Loses to William knight - this is a bad loss anyways, but he got dropped in the first, and then gassed out and tried to wall n stall to a win.
askar mozharov - record padder. Sherdog has him with a pro record of 15-14
Misha cirkunov - beat the ghost of misha. Misha was good like 5 years ago and was so beyond washed when he fought Alonzo.
He’s beaten 4 cans and lost to a pretty bad fighter. I’ve also noticed Alonzo still rushes in with his chin up (even after the OSP loss), he gasses out after one round, and he has a dodgy chin. I personally don’t think he’s a good striker at all, just jacked and has power. Crutes striking isn’t amazing either but he should be able to work Alonzo on the feet. I’m not actually sure if crute will be able to wrestle Alonzo because the one thing Alonzo does consistently well is defend takedowns. Now, Alonzo has yet to really face a great wrestler like crute, so it’s possible he can have success on the ground. If he gets Alonzo down at all it will quickly be over. On the feet I think it will take a little bit longer but he can still chin Alonzo.
I do agree with the masses that crute was very overrated to begin with, but he’s far from a bad fighter. He just got pushed too quickly. I thought he had a very bad gameplan against smith, and should have been wrestling from the start, not when his leg gave out. And then a loss to hill isn’t bad at all because we’ve seen what he’s capable of. He’s taken time off and gotten surgery on lasting injuries. He’s also only 26, so I’m sure he’s improved on his time off

Tied for 4753rd
I already have 9K on this card ... ill be dropping atleast another 3/4k
Tyson Pedro? That Modestas bum had that awful knee injury and tyson loves to throw leg kicks, plus hes better than that bum everywhere .. dont see how he loses
Shainis is a ******* bum, he was brought in to lose ... this clown fought bums his whole career ... when he was 9-3 he fought Jay ellis ... i dont think Jenkis is actually taking him serious ... after jenkins KO's this fool ... the fight to make is Shainis vs Fiore ... the biggest loser gets cut
Who is elves brenner? Never heard of him ... another bum that gets tko'ed (?)
JDM
ISLAM
TYSON PEDRO
JENKINS
ZUBAIRA
the only way I see any of these guys losing, is by INJURY

Izzy is high on Crute, so that either means he sucks or he's the real deal bc Izzy is usually really right or really wrong

3822nd Place
Izzy and Crute are friends, same with Volkanovski and Whittaker being friends. They're all from that same region so they support each other, only people that have any sort of "beef" are Izzy and Rob due to their feud in the sport from being direct competitors, everyone else is either separated by weight class or promotion so they usually never have to fight.

I don't think Izzy and Rob actually hate each other and kind of make the "beef" up bc they had to punch each other in the face twice already. I think Izzy just finds Rob annoying bc Rob claims that he isn't that far behind him which isn't exactly a false statement.

He's not far behind him though. He literally arguably beat him in the rematch

I was saying that Rob saying he isn't too behind Izzy isn't a false statement. I think y'all misinterpreted what I was saying

I honestly think Rob could easily beat Alex if he just rushes in with a hook, clinches, and then hold him against the fence if he can't get a takedown

Crute said he thinks he’s gonna run through Menifield which makes me think he’s gonna come out and wrestle straight away

I'm going to bet a little on Yair because the worst real odds I can give him is -200. The only thing giving me pause is that I keep betting against Emmett and I keep losing those bets.

What’s you’re opinion on Rodrigues I’m certain on tukhugov Jenkins and islam seeing everyone comment on JDM has made me a bit hesitant on him tho and bams reasoning behind Rodrigues is making me wanna add him to my parlay.
