I wonder how this round would have looked if Cota had a shred of fight IQ and didn't jump the Gilly like he was Dustin P himself

Maximov is gonna get the contract anyway, Because of the 60 pound weight disavante, He should be fighting Middleweight, or be a small lightheavweight

@Firefist because you loose a post and risk getting swept to that direction. You can do it, but it's a risk vs reward situation.

Fighter IQ is very low in this fight

Predictions: 2 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 565th

I think Chimp has better fight IQ than this fight... Maximov could have finished this fight in first round. 

I will give both of them contracts for 3 fights... Remember  CM Punk had a contract.   bAsed on that ...
Other UFC fighters that have potential need cannon fodder to build their brand.


It also makes it very EASY to make bets against them. A good parlay  LOL !!!

So far only Leonardo and DePaula should be getting a contract. But this main event is gonna be a banger.

@Tieoken, even DePaula don't deserve contract, her fight was very easy.When you are massive favorite you should finish the opponent.

Personally, for what it is worth, I think Nick Maximov would be a great addition to the UFC Roster... He took down, out grappled continuously and Ground and Pound a guy who weighed 54Lbs more than him and he never stopped trying to work and get the finish... Is Oscar Cota a World Class Heavyweight... No... Will he ever get a UFC Contract... Probably Not... But he was massive compared to Maximov and Nick did a number on him to be fair... Great performance 🤔🥊👏👊👍

@HYRM - its okay they all get contracts.  Remember - CM Punk !! 

every time someone gets a contract that you think they should not fight in the UFC.... just remember CM Punk.
CM Punk was one of the most hyped and weakest fighters in mma.  But he got paid millions because of a gimmick and  the promo machine got behind him to look like a World BEater.  

I laughed to the bank!!!

I think Silva might shock a few people with his striking capabilities and KO Power in the Main Event... I understand why JP Buys is the favourite, but I expect this to be a closer fight than the Bookies are thinking... 🤔🥊👊👍

Still impressive considering the huge weight disadvantage. I love Maximov but I really wouldn't mind if he picked up a few more wins in another organization the dude is 22 and still has a lot of room for improvements.

C'MON JP! ONS VIR JOU BRU, ONS VIR ZUID AFRIKA!!!! I've watched JP since his ammy days back home in SA and he has come so far, possibly the best wresting talent SA MMA has to offer at the moment. Big heart, doesn't leave it to the judges and his improvements between fights have been insane to witness.

I saw his wife combing his hair back... I laughed.  she is just making him feel good before he brings in the bacon.  She wants to make sure he feels wonderful --- I think you should feel awful before stepping into the ring. Makes you more sharp 


Look at the bottom left screen - there was a pop up a live prep in the back room.
