as the story goes, Aldo got a leg kick checked that resulted in a broken foot. He never threw leg kicks like he used to again. I forget which fight.

Yeah ..i saw that fight

Predictions: 1 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 65 Points   |   Tied for 3501st

Volk won clearly but pretty safely.
I dont think it was at all easy.
He openly admitted what he wated to do.
And volk is a beast hed eat cejudo for lunch.

I Think Aldo is such a bad stylistic match up for Cejudo. Most people already explained why earlier in the thread. The only thing i can add on is Cejudo somehow finds the will or way to win. A true competitor who changes and adapts and digs deep to pull off a win, that basically he should not.

@josh Volkanovski out stuck Aldo 95-29, that’s 3 to 1 sounds easy to me.

No takedowns just striking with one of the best pure strikers in the sport, even if he doesn’t throw leg kicks anymore

Werdum vs. Oleinik
Fabrício Werdum, SUB, R1
I heavily favor Fabricio. Alexey is good, but has zero striking abilities and has great grappling. Fabricio has average striking with even better grappling

You do realize Aldo is only four months older than Cejudo, right?
And Cruz is two years older.
You’re acting like they’re ancient when they’re really not.

No lie, I’d love to see Cejudo vs Yan, but I don’t know where Yan’s currently at on the globe.

Cejudo vs. Cruz
Henry Cejudo, DEC
I think Cejudo wrestles his way to a decision win.

I think this fight ends with a thunderous KO.

I don't want to be a **** but this card ain't happening and Dana is just doing it as a publicity stunt. This is like the 7th UFC card banned for Covid and people think this event will be different. They going to be no UFC to at lest  July as literally every sport has been canceled  even in Australia where only 1000 people got it and they banned Rugby and AFL for at lest the next few month

P.s im so confedent this card ain't happening Im taking the piss with my picks
