Recall the fight where Josiah was a deer in headlights vs. Tracy Reeder? What was that performance right?
JDM opens around -825 right now

@knife yeah that was the one. Best guy he’d ever fought and he looked frozen. He also got badly compromised with a grounded knee. He was able to win but it was more his opponent choking than Harrell being the better fighter

Harrell is honestly decent tho but this is way too much. He’s probably a 0-3 and done type of guy. Sucks too cuz he could’ve been built through dwcs but I think he’s being brought in way too early. This is giving me shades of dead game vs JDM

I agree about the dead game scenario. Decent prospect but he’s getting thrown into the cage with a killer levels above him (granted he has fought at WW before) but it’s also not his normal weight class

He’ s the muscle hamster lol. Fought in LFA pretty much uses a wrestler strategy, fought mostly cans but when he ran into someone on his level he looked lost & was weird to watch him confused.
JDM will be the toughest opponent he’s ever been in the cage with by a huge margin. Usually Fights at Lightweight, so he will be moving up to face JDM

Yeah I skimmed some tape on him. Definitely doubting his chances. If he ends up winning this, I’ll record myself wearing scuba gear and swan diving into my bathtub with an unplugged toaster

Maddalena vs. Harrell
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
This is the year of the underdog so maybe Harrell can get the upset but JDM is a different breed of fighter & I doubt a short notice lightweight named "muscle hampster" will be able to expose JDM

I think Josiah Harrell taking this fight was a horrible idea. I also think this fight does absolutely nothing for JDM's career. Harrell and Pete Rodriguez might actually be a competitive fight which is saying a lot. I'm a fan of Josiah Harell bc he trains less than an hour away from where I went to school, but he's way too green to be in the UFC. I was hoping that he would take another fight in LFA and a DWCS fight before going to the UFC, but I guess that viral moment caught Dana's attention

At least that's one less fight I need to cap (the JDM one). I don't have a lot of time this week so I have to choose which ones to skip and that one seems like a safe one, JDM probably goes to -1000 on the line correct?

What I meant by Pantoja over 5 is he's been known throughout his career to slow down and lose the 3rd round in a 3 rounder. I don't recall if it's true for his every fight but I do remember that it's been a bit of a pattern.
So then you're asking him to finish a leveled-up Moreno over 5. I was just pointing out that a 3 rounder would have been better for him.
