I’m actually gonna be at 290 and I’m so hyped. Really doing my research on these fights. I have a feeling turner vs Hooker will be FOTN, I just don’t know who I thinks gonna win.

I saw someone say that Petrino has a horrible chin. I don't understand how you can say that when he literally hasn't lost. His last opponent was a can, but he did look amazing during that fight. Prachnio is pretty bad too and literally just out points dudes that have absolutely no striking

Moreno training at Fortis?

That's all the info I needed. Gonna hammer the Pantoja line.

Good luck to Moreno and the so called "General" Sayif Sayud the most over rated coach MMA

Anyone who got his nose fixed before a fight with Whittaker is going to get his ass whooped.

And don't believe the BS about fixing your nose fixing your cardio. Never heard such nonsense in my life. Lol

Wouldn't surprise me if Laura Sanko was lurking in here. A lot of figjters do.

I mean say what you want, everyone comes to Tapology. 

She probably has a chick profile like Bellatrix or whatever her name was.

Or as deep cover she could be pretending to be a fat ******** slob like CrimsonChinG or MMAParlay

Moreno vs. Pantoja III
Brandon Moreno, TKO, R4
After watching moreno win all 3 rounds in the Figgy fight , plus that brutal punch to the eye. He looks like he has a few title defenses ahead of him.

Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez
Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R5
My detailed picks and expert analysis on this card. Volk beats up Yair

Moreno vs. Pantoja III
Brandon Moreno, SUB, R2
Pantoja makes Brandon eat legos. Lets get rid of this annoying squeaky child. Backtake to RNC

Whittaker vs. Du Plessis
Robert Whittaker, TKO, R3
Dricus gonna need a new nose after R2. Dumbi fixed his nose before a striking match with Bobby Knuckles. High fight IQ right there. Hope he kept his job as a Safari guide because he is getting exposed here.

Hooker vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, TKO, R1
What is the worst possible match up you could give Hooker... let me see... 🤔

Nickal vs. Woodburn
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
Not convinced how good Bo is in MMA yet. I think he could struggle going forward. But this isn't it

Lawler vs. Price
Niko Price, TKO, R2
Poor Robbie. Ben Askren actually destroyed this guys career. Stupid Ben

Maddalena vs. Harrell
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
Muscle Hampster? Really? Cmon

Jauregui vs. Gomes
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
This will be a good fight in the women's division for once. But Yazmin is the real deal

Crute vs. Menifield II
Jimmy Crute, SUB, R2
If Menifield does not grab the cage he does not have 80% takedown defence. Crute was out on his feet but still made Alonzo look as smart as MMA Parlay69. Crute wins this time

Cháirez vs. Taira
Edgar Cháirez, SUB, R2
Cmon. Chairez is horrible

Petrino vs. Prachnio
Vitor Petrino, TKO, R1
Can we please not see any more Prachnio fights. That fight with William Knight almost put me into a coma. I hate this dude

Saaiman vs. Mitchell
Cameron Saaiman, DEC
All day every day

Ross vs. Aguilar
Shannon Ross, DEC
This is a battle of who is worse. Coin toss coz both are worse

Kirk vs. Ribovics
Kamuela Kirk, DEC
Best bet of the card. You're welcome 💰

One way your nose could fix your cardio. You could pull it out of your own ass. That should fix your breathing problems son. Btw my mum said you use prosthetics. She was very dissapointed.

Yair should be the favorite. Consistently everyone keeps underrating him

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 2395th

I have no idea why Yair is such a big underdog. I guess he's gonna shock a lot of ppl again, cuz the only way i see him losing to Volk is if Alex tries to hug him against the cage or stalls on the ground, and the judges gift him the decision he doesn't really deserve. Yair should land the better shots on the feet and get a late knockout, or at least win a decision (let's hope judges don't pull another bs off like they do every weekend)

As someone who’s actually backing Dricus, the whole “new nose” thing doesn’t really matter because he doesn’t have bad cardio to begin with. He uses pace as a weapon and has drowned everyone he’s fought so far in the UFC, just because “Over-the-Hill” Joe Rogan tells you he’s tired because he breathes with his mouth open doesn’t mean he actually is. He pushes an insane pace to begin with, if there’s anything of Dricus’ you really can’t knock it’s his cardio. Is there a chance the new nose makes it even better? For sure but I’m not even really banking on that, his cardio is plenty good as is.
