Bottom Jiu-Jitsu is not a  strategy for long term success  unless your Paul Craig, and even still it doesn’t work for him in the long run,You don’t want to be banking on a home run submession

Also, Arman didn’t even really took down Joel in the first, he fell over,

did he take Moicano down? I don't remember him taking down anyone... Zuba is not so good at grapling + Alvarez has a nasty guillotine

I have alvarez winning but he just allows himself to get taken down. Bjj doesn’t work against Russians. He will have to win striking

The only person he's taken down is Lerone Murphy on short notice. It's possible he can control Alvarez but I think Joel knocks him out personally. The power he has will be huge against guy who's gonna be smaller than him

Reach advantage will be fun too. The only hope is to take Alvarez down and lay on him.
I hope Alvarez will send him back to Kadyrov's sheep house

Also vandal, zuba has 16 takedowns in the ufc and has taken down 6/8 of his opponents in the ufc so pretty sure he’s gonna come out hot with the wrestling here

joel is ****** nasty.

this bad td defense is a complete myth

if they were the same size its a coinflip fight as both are top 15 level. 

but since joel is much bigger i will pick him

I love Joel he’s one of my fav fighters but he has just shown a willingness to get taken down. I’m sure he can actually defend them but he’s more comfortable just playing off of his back which is not good. Maybe after arman fight he will make some changes. I also think the size issue is just gonna be too much
