If Alex gets on top what is Jan gonna do? I see that working both ways. Both guys are lost on their back.

didn't you literally just go on a multiple paragraph long rant about how everyone is overrating bobby and this fight is a 50/50 which is what prompted my response? 

just say you have no actual arguments and move on, no need to try to act cool and pretend you don't care about the fight when you started talking about it

Tony is one of my favorite fighters of all time but nowadays I'd put my money on Paddy Pimblett to beat him. Dude is as washed as post Edgar BJ Penn

Why is the Ferguson fight even being discussed? Bobby Green is still competitive against top 15 talent while Tony Ferguson literally looked like he couldn't fight against a relatively washed Nate Diaz and got finished. Still don't know how they got away with charging $80 for that PPV

Its a 50/50 fight between a guy whos never really been anything special and a guy that was at one point a perennial top 5 in the division but who arguably should be retired. 

Bobby Green obviously isn't where Tony is but he's not far behind. The point is even when he was at his absolute best he was never close to where Tony was for the majority of his career. The recent DUI is just too big a red flag for me to try to back him but I definitely don't think the fight is as one sided as everyone's making it out to be.

But what about it is 50/50? The only thing you’ve said is it’s close because both are washed.

tapology pick percentages are always more heavily scewed than they should be because most users just pick the side that already has he most picks without looking at the fighters

lol that was such a lame way to try to get out of that. also, Jan is completely outmatched on the feet? really? are we forgetting how Jan was a step above Adesanya in the kickboxing for pretty much their whole fight? rewatch that one and come back to me and tell me that he's completely outmatched. that's just ridiculous

"Get out of" what? I don't know what you're talking about. I remember that fight just fine. That fight also happened nearly 2.5 years ago. I think 40 year old Jan Blachowicz is definitely going to have problems with the speed of someone like Poatan.

I was referring to what you said to baremaras about typing a lot of words about a fight you don't care about. and also, I never said that the speed of Pereira doesn't pose a problem to Blachowicz. it absolutely does. but there's a big difference between the speed of Pereira posing a problem to Blachowicz and Blachowicz being completely outmatched in the kickboxing

I'm picking Matthews, but Darrius Flowers has shown that he can pull off an upset, so I'm not shocked. Also, Matthews underperforms a lot

Also, to add, against Nate he look slow af and I think Tony unorthodox style makes being slower worst. Expecting Bobby Green to do what Nate did but better 

I want someone to tell Tony to retire, or give him the Chuck Liddell deal, Tony Ferguson is BJ Penn nowaday and it’s just sad

Also, people pick who they’re going to win, if 80% of people are picking someone, doesn’t mean people are 80% confident on it, 

Literally just mean 80% of people are 50%+ confident in it,

@AyyLmaonnaise 
can say that the other way too though. leg kicks are one of pereiras biggest weapons too and jans got legs made of vibranium and kicks people shin to shin on purpose cause it only hurts the other person.
