@free yeah Felder said that he looks back at that fight and doesnt know why he fought like that... i got a hunch that he's gonna make it dirty this time and not entertain the distance game

Khabib vs porier -Khabib dec


I see this being a really dominant fight for khabib but I don’t see him finishing Dustin as he tough and Khabib only finish cans and people who are tap machine

Barboza vs Felder- 2nd ko felder 
I just have a fealing felder going to ko barbosa as he’s fading but if he stay on the outside like my boy hooker did that he dead


Islam vs Ramos- Islam dec
This fight could easily be an upset because Ramos can easily catch him in something but Islam look like he could be a good prospect

Khabib, Dustin, Islam, Davi, Blaydes, Shamil, Maribek, Joanne, Andrea, Zuba, Murphy, Liana, Teemu, Ottman, Belal, Sato, Taleb, Muslim, Zak, Omari, Madge, and Fares all looked on point

CDF made weight but had a tough go of it showing shades of Aspen Ladd as he was shaking a bit on the scale

Cheesecake may have had a bit too much cheesecake as she was looking mad thick coming in over at 138 lbs

Liana Jojua looking real cute btw the ufc should sign more birds like her

Moras vs jojua


Make no mistake people, this fight is going to be three rounds of irredeemably drudgerous, boring ****e. It will be like watching a single drop of ink osmose through the fibers of a large napkin while a geriatric woman who smells of urine explains how brown and white potatoes are different, and why, what to use either for in any capacity, and how they used to be bigger in the 40's.

Who wins? Sure as **** not you, dear reader. Hopefully Jojua because she's sexy. She's not good, but Moras fights like what I imagine Barney the dinosaur would if the guy in the suit was soused. Beating Moras is basically like beating your pickle; it's meaningless, you can't be proud of it, if it weren't for the fact it burns a few calories it wouldn't be worth the exercise, and afterwards all you're left with is a vague and uninteresting sensation of shame and having failed to achieve anything at all.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 1027th

Nurmagomedov vs. Poirier
Khabib Nurmagomedov, DEC
ポイリエーのスタミナが後半どれだけ残るかにかかっている。ヌルマゴはある程度グラウンドができる相手だとスタミナ切れを起こす。ポリエーがテイクダウンを完全に防ぐのは難しいため、グラウンドから耐え抜き、ヌルマゴが疲れたタイミングを狙いラッシュを仕掛けるべき。基本的には勝ち方が明確なヌルマゴが優勢だが、打撃の精度が高いポイリエーにもチャンスがある。

Felder vs. Barboza II
Paul Felder, TKO, R1
バルボーザは前回ゲイジー戦で意外とローのディフェンスが良くないことがわかった。フェルダーが前回発展したように見えたカーフキックでバルボーザを焦らせることができればパンチ勝負に持ち込むことができると思う。

Makhachev vs. Ramos
Islam Makhachev, DEC
打撃はラモスが優勢なので、マカチェフがいかにテイクダウンしてグラウンドで漬け込むことができるかにかかっている。ラモスは自分が相性的にヌルマゴに勝てると言っているので、ならばマカチェフは良いテストになりそう。

Blaydes vs. Abdurakhimov
Curtis Blaydes, DEC
ブレイズのスタミナが意外といいので、グラウンドでキープすることができなくてもくっついてポイント勝ちできそう。シャミルはクリンチ膝でいかにブレイズを疲れさせることができるかにかかっている。

Taisumov vs. Ferreira
Mairbek Taisumov, TKO, R1
フェレイラはグラップラー相手に打撃で勝つタイプ。本格的な打撃家相手に勝つのは難しい。

Calderwood vs. Lee
Andrea Lee, DEC
グラップリングが互角で打撃はリーのほうが得意。打撃ディフェンスにあまりにも差がある。

Muhammad vs. Sato
Belal Muhammad, DEC
ムハマッドのディフェンスがそこまでいいわけではないので、佐藤のカウンターチャンスはある。ただし、ムハマッドがタフでスタミナが優勢なのでより良いものを持っているムハマッドが基本的には優勢

Taleb vs. Salikhov
Nordine Taleb, SUB, R2
サリコフは派手だが、実力は最底辺だと思う。タレブがテイクダウンして初めてのサブミッション勝ちまでありえると思う。

Cummings vs. Akhmedov
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
カミンズの打撃で致命的なダメージを受けなければ、フィジカルでアクメドフが優勢。

Surprised so few people are giving Davi Ramos a chance. 
There's quite a few upsets on this card that are very possible (Ramos, Ferreira, Sato, Poirier).

I think my most confident pick is Blaydes. 

I don’t see Shamil winning anywhere.

Guys I’m hearing the stadium will be around 100 degrees by the time Khabib/Poirier fight. This may play a big factor especially for Khabib since it will probably hurt Khabibs ability to land takedowns due to sweat. It will also drain both their gas tanks much quicker.

This may be interesting!!!
