Why is the Orolbai fight still rumored? Isn't it pretty much confirmed? Am I missing something here?

Jake Matthews vs. Michael Morales

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 2947th

Could someone inform me on if Michael Morales is actually as good as his record? 
Cant remember seeing him fight however his favoured but Matthews have way more UFC experience looking to identify if Michael is as good as his record shows or if this will be his biggest test to date?

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 3340th

Allen vs. Craig
Brendan Allen, TKO, R2
Craig is a live underdog could definitely get this one done not to mention he mogged muniz, this will be a better test then Hermanson danger wise, if Allen can scramble with Craig and not get subbed he will prove his sub defense is legit. Both have never went past the 3rd round so if it goes there I trust Allen to at least have the cardio to break Craig in the later rounds. However this could be the start of a new mythical fighter Non bald spot Paul craig

Matthews vs. Morales
Jake Matthews, SUB, R3
Everyone glazing morales hard his wins aren’t all that. Mad disrespect for Mathew’s, Aussie Aussie Aussie !!!

Leavitt vs. Hooper
Jordan Leavitt, DEC
50/50 fight here this fight will show us where hoppers grappling defense holds up and how leavitts striking is if he can’t get the takedown

Talbott vs. Aguirre
Payton Talbott, TKO, R2
Nick has been kicking cans, while both are inexperienced I give the striking advantage to talbott and he’s faced the tougher competition

Ribas vs. Pinheiro
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Who knows how do you even predict this ????

Medic vs. Orolbai
Uros Medic, DEC
Interesting fight hard to predict orolbai main way to win would be in the first uros is very defensively responsible i see him getting a 30-27 dominant decision also wouldn’t he surprised with an upset

Motta vs. Ogden
Trey Ogden, DEC
30-27

Parkin vs. Machado
Mick Parkin, TKO, R1
Hope some of that Tom aspinall speed and power rubs off

That is the issue I am seeing too I mean it isnt a guarantee however facing UFC fighters with 10+ fights is a different dilemma entirely as UFC experience is a real factor

Morales is kinda like a pre Bobby green grant Dawson, a guy with a good record who should be a prospect on paper but doesn't have the level of competition or impressive performances to attract much attention. Jake Mathews is hit or miss while Morales is obviously consistent seeing as how he's undefeated.

@Byakuya Kuchiki 
never forget that Matthews got beat up rather easily by Semelsberger, and dropped a lot in that fight.

Michael is still a bit raw but he's pretty damn versatile thanks to his combination of wrestling and striking, he's also only turned up the heat the longer the fight goes. Won the 3rd against both Griffin and Nikolay.

The comparison to Bonfim/Dalby doesn't make sense imo, it's a completely different matchup if only because Michael isn't a fast starter who throws the kitchen sink at his opponents. He's way more methodical and also willing to point fight.

Morales has also been tested before. Hes faced adversity and gone the distance in high paced fights. Bonfim had never been further than like 10-11 minutes and had ran through everyone pretty easily. We know morales has no quit and a very good chin. I haven’t seen anyone stand in front of max griffin and eat his shots like it’s nothing

Hey you two can I please get your take on something if you have a moment?

What's your take on fighters who get their nose broken & get it repaired? Massive disadvantage or myth that it breaks again easy and/or hinders their defense?

Medically speaking if it is repaired correctly it shouldn't break more easily.. Now I don’t know how that affects fighters mentality regarding their nose.. Ill let the tapology vets speak to that

Thanks for your input. I kinda wish I had a list of broken & repaired noses that I could refer to, I think it's a stat worth looking into

I wish that it was possible for us to change fighters photos. 

I get not being able to change the fighter information but I think just the photo would be ok. The fans would keep their favorite fighters pic up to date and change it back if someone decided to do something stupid.
