That Pettis vs Morono fight is an odd one. But I think it will be fun while it lasts.

Why ain’t Belal fighting someone good. He should get a top 15 guy or maybe Niko Price or someone around that level at least and im 95% sure he ain’t ranked while people like Cerrone, Conor, Diaz , Pettis and Lawler are ranked.

Belal is #13 in the UFC ******** Rankings Duck. But he has losses to Luque and Neal. That leaves Magny Chiesa Woodley Lawler Chimaev Pettis and Maia.  Woodley still thinks hes champ and would never take that fight. Lawler is hurt. Magny only seems to want Chimaev. Pettis is booked although recently. Chiesa is a commentator now apparently. Maia is basically a carcass with a Gi at this point. No one wants anything to do with Chimaev. Belal was originally slated to face Sean Brady to take his hype train if he could. once that was cancelled he just wanted a replacement and the name didnt matter. Pretty sure he just wants the money. His fathers shop was destroyed by Looters during the riots a few months ago

Aldo vs. Vera
José Aldo, DEC
Aldo all day. Don't doubt the mutiple time world champ.

Tybura vs. Hardy
Greg Hardy, DEC
I see Hardy cruising again man. Maybe he could drop this with the grappling, but I dunno.

Pettis vs. Morono
Alex Morono, DEC
I actually think Alex has a chance to hustle up Pettis. Pettis doesn't bode well with pressure.

Nchukwi vs. Pickett
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R1
Them Cameroon boys. Tafon hurts bro.

Glenn vs. Minus
Rick Glenn, DEC
Maybe Glenn could take this? I dunno.

Nam vs. Schnell
Tyson Nam, TKO, R1
So Schnell doesn't like eating punches, and Nam likes to give them. I think you guys know where I'm going with this.

Pereira vs. Williams
Khaos Williams, TKO, R1
I think Khaos strikes again. Except this time, we'll actually get to see him fight. Lol

Pettis vs. Morono
Alex Morono
Win or lose good to see Alex get a big name to fight. Great guy and great coach, well deserved. I think he puts on the pressure like always, either tags him or outworks him.

Pettis vs. Morono
Anthony Pettis, DEC
Way closer fight than tapology says. Pettis has been looking pretty eh lately, very inconsistent and he only barely sc****d by Cerrone. Morono has crazy work rate and pressure. Pettis is a sneaky mfer though and I think he will mix it up with flashy kicks and hands to win a decision. 60/40 fight.

Flick vs. Durden
Jimmy Flick, SUB, R1
Flick has insane jiu jitsu moves and can submit you from anywhere. Durden is just a stereotypical wrestler/grinder.

Robertson vs. Santos
Gillian Robertson, DEC
Even one. Very even. Can barely predict.

From what I've seen from Morono, he is a works men like fighter. I think they are trying to throw Pettis a bone here and know that Morono is a tough journey man which Pettis has turned into although he is much worse for wear and has opted out of some fights due to that wear and tear.

He's still dangerous, he still has that knockout power but has really started to just brawl, I thought he lost to Cerrone but it was just a bad fight anyway and it was close. Not sure if he's fallen that far from grace to lose to the slower, more plodding fighter even though Pettis has opted to brawl is his last few he's still faster in his punches and kicks.

Not sure what Pettis shows up, but on paper the guy has better stand-up, better ground game, the only thing I can see Morono giving him a problem with is the clinch game and wearing on him. Constant pressure and just making it exhausting for Pettis.

or we could be optimistic and say we get to end the UFC year with 15 possibly 16 fights if Khamzat takes the callout. Or is he already playing the Diva, I have a ranked fight booked a month after he would fight anyone anywhere?
