Gustafson is fast to book easier fight avoiding to answer Walker challenge.

Hope he can win without a poke eye.
Also hope he does not cry for a title shoot after beating Anthonny Smith.

Either guy definitely has to win more then one to get back too a title shot again.
Unless jones vacates to go up to heavyweight to face brock rumble or dc.
Or if jones loses to santos which probably wont happen. Plus I think walker is next in line after santos for a title shot.

P.s. there has been a lot of sad downvoting little *****s lately. We're gonna have to change the name to *****ology pretty soon! Keep crying from the sidelines *****s. I've met women with more balls then you ****its!

I think you're forgetting about Dominic Reyes.  Walker hasn't really been tested yet

Walker hit harder but Reyes have a better chin. I think both finish Gustafson but we will probably not see this fight unless one of them find a way to beat Jones.

@Hyrm why do you think Walker has a bad chin? He Has been finished exactly once in 11 fights, by Lopez who is a huge puncher who has won every single fight by KO. And he wasn't Ko'ed clean.

@Imperator, Walker lost twice by Ko, Henrique Silva fight and another guy early in is carrer. I dont know if he have a bad chin but i'm sure Henrique Silva wont KO Reyes!


I think you dont look at the concerning Walker record? We talk about the Walker who recently beat Misha Cirkunov.

@Hyrm yes he lost by TKO to henrique silva lopes. And he was Ko'ed in his third pro fight....but that's not an indication of a weak chin. Nate Diaz has been KO'ed and I'm not sure he even has a brain.

Oezdemir vs. Latifi
Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R1
After being robbed against Reyes, I think Volkan will be happy to return to his violent and stranges first rounds finishes... Even if Latifi can survive the storm, Volkan has good TTD, and his cardio is improving, he can still win a decision.

Gustafsson vs. Smith
Alexander Gustafsson, TKO, R4
In my opinion, Smith is slow, and sloppy the way he boxes. Alexander will use his crisp boxing and avoid that high kick Smith loves to throw, and TKO him. Alex will feel Smith out and take his time. He will jab out Smith and eventually uppercut Smith and follow it up with ground and pound.

Oezdemir vs. Latifi
Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R2
I think Volkan will KO Latifi cold in the 2ND round. It will be a striking exchange that Oezdemir will get the better of.

Manuwa vs. Rakić
Jimi Manuwa, TKO, R1
I think Jimi will get it done with his striking advantage. He is a good boxer, and I think he will snap his little losing skid. A flush ko will help his pathway to a title shot.
