True. 3 years is a little much though in my opinion. Not sure if there's more too it or the site admin was having a bad day.

Nah dude, it wasn't a casual "ups dropped a N***** on the forum let me edit it out real Quick". Gets banned. 
He went full on Caps lock, Exclamation point, multiple comments on the forum racist. And when confronted by gregory or other people he doubled down. 2 years is about right, **** him.

Yup but for me those locks are 100%

for example Chimaev, he is mentally unstable, I would never bet on him.

Also:
 Jubli - not tested
 Ankalaev (Walker is always dangerous)
 Magomedov - not tested
 Mokaev still very young, makes mistakes 
 Wood - Imavov has Ko power..

still I picked all these fighters :) but I would't bet personally

Using all three of your accounts to mass downvote is a bannable offense…

Also good luck getting me banned lol I said nothing wrong

@Vandal 

so you can find fault with everyone
Nurmagomedov (doesn't have good enough cardio)
Makhachev (had the first close fight and was wobbled)
Aliskerov (was not tested by the full distance in the UFC)
Basharat (Henry have bigger volume)
Chimaev (have close fight with Burns)
Ankalaev (have problem with leg kiks)
Mokaev (gets into difficult situations in fights)
Dudakova (has little combat experience)
Jubli (has little combat experience)
Magomedov (debut fight)

i think such minor flaws can be found in every fight and fighter
but if you look at the fight as a whole, I think all this will have no significance

Yeah, if that's the case that's not good. 

And he did pile into me while I was banned too and accused me of being an Alt account when I wasn't able to respond. 

Oh well. He deserves it then.

it is not appropriate to title your post about picks "free $ cum shot".  Scrolling the forum here should not feel like scrolling through listings on ****hub.

Are people here honestly rating Jubli that highly? Or is it a case of fading Breeden? Only fight im struggling to pick. Neither are hanging around long imo and its clearly the toughest fight yet for Jubli

I want Volk to KO Makhachev, but realistically speaking Makhachev is training with the greatest wrestler/grappler we have ever seen in the UFC. He will be much improved than the previous fight. Volk can stuff some takedowns, but these Dagestan boys are relentless with these takedowns. Sheeesh!
