When has Josh Fremd smashed someone? No one, until he fought Dumas. 

The quality of competition here isn't close. I think the UFC couldn't care less about Dumas and that's why he was initially getting fed to Puna. Brundage isn't a world beater. I know he has serious limitations. But Dumas ******* BLOWS. Brundage any way he pleases and I think there's a great chance he gets a finish. 

Dumas would have had to become an entirely new fighter over night. He might have made some improvements but hes not winning this fight.

Fremd didn’t dominate until he got the takedown. He got lit up on the feet until hitting that judo throw in the clinch. I get that dumas’s ground game is trash but this is Cody brundage we’re talking about. He often times thinks he’s in glory & tries to strike with people. He is a wrestler and has some bjj but I wouldn’t say he’s particularly dominant; I mean ******* michal and William knight both swept him with ease. 

I get that dumas is terrible, I really do. But to have this level of confidence in Cody is crazy imo. He always makes the wrong decision and is overall just not a good fighter. I don’t think fremd is great either but he is a lot more talented than brundage is

Can't believe people are going to die on a hill over winner of Dumas v Brundage. Maybe don't put your house on it at least, though I suppose summer is the best time to put your house on the line.

I also don’t know why you say the level of comp isn’t close. Brundage has losses to nick Maximov and William knight who are both terrible. His ufc wins are dalcha, who absolutely sucks and Tresean gore who is too green to even compete in bellator. Not ti mention if he doesn’t get that Hail Mary guillotine, he was looking at a ko loss to dalcha of all people. If this plays out on the feet dumas is live for a ko. Cody has bad standup and his chinny

I should also preface I’m on the Cody side here, I just don’t get the confidence at all. Brundage is just as bad as dumas. Well, maybe slightly better because he can wrestle but he’s pretty terrible

Cody Brundage is finish or bust. He has the power and strength to finish as well as having decent wrestling, but if he has to go technique to technique against a high-level kickboxer or high-level BJJ artist, then he'll lose

Why shouldnt we bet magny here? rowe fought poor fighters and his stats arent great

dude has a negative strike differential. was losing a bunch of fights he won

weak grappler too. and he is only 3 years younger not 10

the way I see it magny has a huge advantage in one department, and its even or favorable in others

gabe great beat rowe. that didnt age well. gabe green scored 2 kds on this guy. and virtually everyone took him down

That was Rowe's debut. If you play that game, Jalin Turner lost to Matt Frevola when even before Frevola split with Luis Pena and got knocked out by McKinney. Dudes get better the longer they win in the UFC. Rowe is actually pretty good, and I think he was just too green when he first got to the UFC

Rowe is essentially a Jacksoville hometown guy, so it's hard to not pick him to win with Magny having tread on his tires

It's not just Gabe Green. In every fight Rowe goes life or death.

Dude is like Andre Ewell with a worse chin

Trevor Peek vs Chepe Mariscal

Does anyone find it strange that this is a pick em line according to odds? Is it the experience that's driving the odds. Feels like a trap to me? Am I over thinking this one?

Chepe has a lot of experience against high level dudes & peek is very overrated with many holes in his game. Chepe is undersized and coming in on short notice that's why I'm going peek

I'm very interested with everyone saying Peek is over rated. He is not a top 15 guy sure, but he is pretty good
