@foppa420 
so by your standards - a guy who BARELY squeaks a decision win in such unimpressive fashion over the weakest fighter in the division is UFC caliber? 

I can only conclude that you have low standards. It is what it is

I expected him to be good enough to get Pickett out of there but he just clinched him and threw terrible flying knees

If only the matchmakers would resign saidyokub so he could take the Bautista fight. That would be a far superior fight than the original booking and said obviously deserves the opportunity

I was surprised UFC cut him. Didn't think 1 loss to Said was enough to let him go

He was talking **** to ufc staff members and apparently was also betting on fights, so that’s why they cut him

Magny vs. Machado Garry
Ian Machado Garry, DEC
A potentially exciting fight, but I see it more likely playing out to be a paced and somewhat technical fight. Garry is definitely champ material, but this will be a fight where we'll see his true takedown defense tested. Neil is a complete martial artist who would be foolish to not attempt taking the fight to the ground, which I believe he'll succeed in doing, however I think Garry's explosiveness on the feet and mat will allow him to escape with minimal control time lost. Garry will land the far more significant strikes, mixing in healthy leg and body kicks. I think a Garry knockout is live at any time, but I wouldn't rate his early KO against an old D-Rod too highly, and he's shown that anyone with mediocre takedowns can mitigate his stand-up game (Weeks, Green, and a somewhat close win against Kenan). Garry is only 25 though and will look significantly better, and I expect him to edge it out over Magny in a unanimous decision.

I think Sterling wrestling is over rated, He fail a majority of his takedowns, Just go to fightmetic and see what I mean, His Yan fight, He went 1-17 in the first and 2-22, And some of his other fight he fail all his takedowns, But I think a lot of his other skills are under rated which make up for it, He has good enough striking and he's top game is really elite, When he gets his postion, He can be lethal

I think Sean could stuff Sterling takedown, Sterling only need one and get his back and it's bad for him

Also, Was think about picking Pedro, Pedro is pretty unkillable and Chito isn't good at scoring point and winning round beside big moment in rounds, Chito lost rounds to Cruz and Edgar, But then you realise Pedro lost to both Cruz and Edgar so is he much better at scoring????

Might take Chito by close decsion

You're sharing a whole lot of your own opinion in attempt to somehow describe "my standards". What I saw was a low level middleweight fight where Josh Fremd didn't even show up healthy and still unanimously won all 3 rounds on all 3 scorecards. 

What was your angle here? Seriously? Did you find me saying Fremd is a UFC caliber middleweight so bombastic that it sat in the back of your mind for months? And you think him being un-able to finish Jamie Picket is somehow definitive proof of that? It's probably the weakest division in the entire promotion. The bar isn't exactly high.

This is weak son. I vehemently berated Dumas for a week and said Brundage was going to smash him. There is a treasure trove of better ammunition out there to try and make me look silly over. For some absurd reason you chose "Josh Fremd is a UFC level fighter". 

I can only conclude you have a room temp IQ. It is what it is.

@foppa420 
don’t address me anymore. 
I’m on Tap because I 1) I am a diehard fan of high level MMA & 2) I’m a high stakes sharp bettor that is interested in others who are doing the same

You are neither. You enjoy low level  MMA (which is fine) but you don’t know *** you’re talking about
