Yeah but he just played college ball; the nfl is where the real damage is done. Also anders was still relatively young; lane was in his late 20s after he was done with the nfl. Look at pauga for example; he played briefly for the Texans & his chin is really bad because of it. He has really bad reactions every time he gets hit. Same with Greg hardy too; once his chin got cracked in the ufc he kept getting slept. Also now is a punching bag in boxing

I got topuria by round 2 submission. People seem to forget that this man won his first 7 fights in a row all my submission. Sure, most of them were cans, but some were against some 8-1 fighters in cage warriors when he only had a 4-0 record. We also saw yair sub josh emmett, and yair's ground game is nothing compared to Ilia's. The only way I can see emmett winning is by flash KO. This man topuria is a beast and i got him winning by round 2 submission.

Pretty tough card to read frfr but some confident picks are Topuria by finish (Sub most likely but could also get the g&p), Randy Brown and maybe Taira by submission but I'm not feeling that one to much. I also really like the Peek/Mariscal not to go the distance but they probably have that line crazy juiced. Lets get it!

Fun fact: combined average length of an NFL career for all positions is ~3 seasons. 

Like ayy said, there's a reason why Lanes losses are all by 1st round finish. His durability is...not great.

Fading sedriques Dumas

After his last performance, I will fade sedriques Dumas every fight until he’s out of the ufc. This bird cost me a 30k parlay last fight.

I’m gonna be laying 5k-8k straight on Topuria. Biggest lock of the card. Whoever is on the emmet train needs to get off. No disrespect to him, but Topuria is a different beast. I don’t think anyone in the division can dance with him. Topuria by finish

Dumas vs Brundage, a race to see who deathgasses or gets chinned first? This one feels like a crapshoot if ever I saw one, talk about unreliable fighters.

Just listened to an interview with Dumas. Nothing but excuses for the Fremd fight, not what you want to hear. Seems very emotionally immature which I guess is not a shock looking at the kids scrawl -level tattoos all over his body and face.
Understandable I guess given his background but not a benefit in the fight game.

Brundage has an easy path to victory here but I think he's a really low-IQ fighter and he's probably gonna go in on 9 days notice and try to get it done in the first round and get into a firefight. So I guess I lean Dumas for the 1st round KO?
Lol I have absolutely no idea how this fight will play out.

Oh god, I'm actually forced to pick Dumas or Brundage as a winner here. I really really don't want to pick either guy to win a fight in the UFC.

I’ve been flipping back and forth. Dumas is terrible and I really don’t want to pick him, but brundage is such an idiot & I’ve quite literally picked against him in all 5 ufc fights he’s had. He has all the skills to win where sd does not. The issue is brundage is just a glass cannon. He could dominate the striking and grappling & then go and do some dumb shot like pull guard

I've said this at least 5 times on this forum over the last 6 months or so...

Josh Emmett is the most overrated "contender" in any division in the UFC. He is a tough SOB and definitely a ranked featherweight, but Topuria is the biggest favorite on the card for a reason.

Do not over think this fight.

Brundage is going to smash him. I have no idea how anyone could even think about picking Dumas after his last fight. He is a complete fraud. My man needs a strength and conditioning coach and like 2 more years on the regional circuit. Hes not a UFC fighter.

Brundage isn't on his way to being ranked or anything but hes going to do the exact same thing to Dumas that Fremd did. This fight isn't going to be close.

When has brundage smashed anyone? He either gets his ass kicked & finds a way to win, or wins the fight early then loses making a dumb mistake. I think you’re underestimating just how stupid brundage is
