The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Mederos vs quinones either a draw or a dq calling it but prob not going to happen but **** i can see a draw for 51x

Dolidze vs. Imavov
Roman Dolidze, SUB, R3
random r3 sub

Moicano vs. Dober
Renato Moicano, SUB, R2
BIG DOGS CAN STILL BE CHOKED OUT.

Brown vs. Salikhov
Randy Brown, DEC
Salikhov is almost 40, Brown is prime.

Araujo vs. Silva
Natália Silva, DEC
Went with tap on this one.

Khizriev vs. Muradov
Aliaskhab Khizriev, SUB, R1
Muradov the type of guy to get outstruck by GM3 and not know what TDD is.

Urbina vs. Radtke
Gilbert Urbina, SUB, R2
Battle of funny nicknames.

McCann vs. Belbiţă
Diana Belbiţă, SUB, R2
Molly throws herself into another sub for the luls.

Johnson vs. Maksum
Charles Johnson, DEC
Still don't know how to feel about Maksum and Inner G is up on split decisions against people from Kazakhstan so let's get this under dog.

Gorimbo vs. Rodriguez
Pete Rodriguez, TKO, R1
Idk, Pete beat the jewels out of Mike and that made me smile. So rooting for Pete.

Bilder vs. Lee
Blake Bilder, DEC
Don't know but I feel like road to UFC competition isn't on the level of someone coming in from DWCS, I see Bilder edging out a decision.

Stoliarenko vs. Carolina
Luana Carolina, DEC
If you're not throwing yourself into an armbar, then you will be Stoliarenko.

Mederos vs. Quiñones
Landon Quiñones, DEC
Landon is the real deal, his fight with Nasrat is a better measuring stick than anything Marquel has shown us.

Petersen vs. Pogues
Thomas Petersen, SUB, R2
Grease train vs guy who can't land shots clean.

Dolidze sub at +550 is good, or even take Doldze inside the distance if you want to be safe because he also hits hard. He’s Jiu-jitsu and submission are what make him good, Dolidze is one dangerous man, which make up for his shortcomings.

Don’t really see Dolidze winning a decision, Imamov should outpoint him,  also if Dolidze gets a dominant wresling clinic, he’s probably subs him anyways

Switching back to my original pick of McCann. Belbita said she was contemplating retirement. She's not 100% into the sport 

No value in Dober here. Big fan of him, but dude cannot, cannot, cannot stop a takedown. Moicano can shoot a takedown and take a back pretty quick. Also, here comes the weekly round of dispelling unsubstantiated statements and hyperbole: 

Moicano's chin is bad? How? He has 3 TKO losses all to hard hitters, the worst of whom is Rafael Fiziev. In all his fights I've never seen him look more vulnerable to strikes than the average fighter. As a matter of fact people still contest the Fiziev stoppage, because despite getting comboed viciously and banging his head on the mat, he was still trying to play guard. Also the Aldo fight was a standing TKO due to head and body shots (it's also ******* Jose Aldo)

Moicano's takedowns are bad? In MMA, no takedown is bad if gets your opponent on the ground and Moicano's been doing that consistently. This isn't the Olympic freestyle finals. 

The made up stuff surrounding Moicano this fight reminds me of the nonsense people were saying about Muniz before his fight with Park, except Dober will not be a near equal grappling wise, nor will he hold a definitive standup advantage.

Moicano is the better striker from range and will be able to close range with his takedowns. All respect to people picking Dober, but don't make up reasons to not pick Moicano lol

Bobby Green was a better striker at range than Dober? 

And you acting like Moicano is some takedown artist is halirous, he's 2 for 10 on takedowns in his LAST 3 fights.

"But don't make up reasons to not pick Moicano lol." 🤥

@CrimsonChinGuru 

Hi again. I see you're making the mistake of thinking that you can extrapolate the results of one fight onto another because two fighters might share a single trait. Allow me to guide you:

How are Green and Moicano even remotely stylistically similar, aside from the range fighting? Why even bring up Green? Lol. Green is very evasive and sound defensively, but also purposely leaves a lot of openings because that's simply his style. Do you honestly expect Moicano to play those same games?
 
Also who's acting like Moicano is some takedown artist? I explicitly acknowledged that he might possibly have subpar takedown mechanics but the only thing that matters is getting his opponents to the ground. Please reread what I wrote.
Also what is 2 for 10 in his last 3 even supposed to mean? Why are you bothering with cherrypicked stats? What about his last 4? His last 5? His last 6? Statistics are a powerful tool; for laymen like you (including myself) to think they can toss them around at will without fully understanding what they mean or how certain statements can be reductive is laughable.
For example "I'm undefeated against UFC champs" is a true statement but incredibly deceiving

Since you cite numbers very often but don't seem to understand them fully, let me lay it bare for you. Moicano's last 3 fights are Riddell, Dos Anjos and Hernandez. He submitted Riddell and Hernandez so (as I said before) who cares how many TD's he has to shoot? Especially when fighting someone with takedown defense as porous as Dober's? The RDA fight was on extremely short notice and RDA is a legend who's still aging well.

Nobody is reading all that bud 😂😂

@CrimsonChinGuru 

I know you won't, don't worry lol. You refuse to even read up on the fights you talk about. I left that up in case anyone needs (anymore of) a reason to laugh at you

Blake Bilder is just the worst 

That's why I'm ranked above you? Lol keep rambling nonsense to make you feel better about your dog**** picks and conclusions 😂😂

+ I got 3x the amount of UFC prediction W's you have and you are barely 2% above me. Work smarter not harder, we aren't even on the same level so pls save the comparison and Bible long essays 🤡

@CrimsonChinGuru 

Brother, first you say no one's reading all of what I wrote, now you claim it's nonsense. So did you read it or not? Maybe you did, but your feelings are hurt so you're pretending you didn't? Lmfao

I don't judge people solely by their picks because if you lock 20 chimps in 20 diffferent cells and have them randomly select winners and losers, statistically (I know you love statistics!) there's a good chance a decent number of them will have above average picks. It's simply picking one option or the other multiple times. Some people have great picks and dog**** takes or vice versa. Don't get overly invested in your pick rate lmfao. I'mbarelybehind you  (and I was platinum before 297, not that I care) and you're trying to lord that over me, that's pathetic. You can't **** on me when we're both eye level, clown

For example I won't brag, but I knew Magny would win, and many of the the things I spoke of in the Evloev/Allen fight came true. I'm far from some savant, but definitely not dog**** tier like you claim lol

* Edited at 01.31.2024, 11:08 PM ET *

Holy ****, there's no way you tried to brag about havingmoreprediction W's when you have nearly 7x the amount of picks overall. I thought you were a lover of math and statistics, but clearly basic proportions elude you. Good luck friend, maybe someday you'll conquer stats/math! I believe in you!

Edit: I misread he said moreUFCprediction W's. Regardless, he's been around for nearly a year and a half longer than I have, so I'm sure he still has many times more picks than me. Can someone more tapology savvy than myself tell me his UFC  predictions number? Gregory, if this counts as bullying, I'll let up on him

Mr. Run on sentences 😂😂 bro nobody is reading give up lol

Maybe hit up literature class aswell if you want to type graphic novels every reply and expect ppl to actually read what your mentally challenged self types.

* Edited at 01.31.2024, 11:07 PM ET *

@CrimsonChinGuru 

Oh you're an English student too? A bad one it seems. I punctuated all of my sentences enough, but if you're struggling with the long responses there are some short ones above too

There we go, that's better.

Punctuation and run on sentences are 2 different things, pls learn what a run-on sentence is;
 Makes your graphic novels look sloppy especially when you punctuate everything correctly.

* Edited at 01.31.2024, 11:11 PM ET *

@CrimsonChinGuru 

Last response, but I maybe should have said punctuated  appropriately,  as a run on sentence is created from improperly connected clauses, i.e., a punctuation error. Also what graphic novel? Where are the pictures that would make my responses into graphic novels? What are you talking about? How old are you? I'm gonna stop because you haven't been making a lot of sense and that leads me to believe that you might be a child. Plus, I'm starting to clog up the thread

Anyone think a few units on Randy Brown by sub is worth it?

If you are gonna cry that I'm not reading your graphic novels, than write better than I help you out since you aren't that smart and you get butt-hurt again...

You guys should just switch gender your role play as a female is excellent! You can't decide what you want. Or maybe Disney is hiring, go apply.

**** I'm not going to change anything but the more that I think about each of my picks, I'm sure they're wrong
