In Buckley's defense, that was on very short notice and Holland was an especially tough stylistic matchup for him. But I agree with HiDefff that calling him a top contender might be a little overboard considering how deep the division is.

yea i mean no disrespect he beat who was put in front of him, but looking at the top 15 of that division i'm finding it difficult to find someone i think he could beat. Weidman maybe in his current form who shouldn't be in the rankings anyway. possibly Heinisch. both of those subject to his takedown defense. which i have no idea if its good or not.

Buckley has no chance? I wonder if there are fans of a great fighter like Di Chirico?

@Hideff Everything you said about buckley is true, but I don't think he's overated because I think everyone know that. In my oppion I think at best he be low ranked like 11 at the highest because Middleweight only have like 10 elite fighter

PILLORY TIME BOYS

Guys. Guys. I'm back, the most inconsistent scam artist in the country is here again boys. New Year New Me. 2021, the 1 stands for won. Like I "won" all those bets lets year. Wait with bated breath for my official picks coming to a tapology page near you soon. I just have to make my mind up from flip flopping over picks for about 30 minutes per fighter without giving out anything aside from a vague "meh" unless the fighter is a huge favorite.

It's quality television folks.

UFC making it harder to be a fan

Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 442nd

Bellator lost me by moving to CBS and no longer streaming on DAZN.

Now UFC is moving towards losing me by moving to ABC and no longer streaming the main event where I can watch it. 

Thanks for the eye-poke, UFC...I WANT to be a fan but you make it VERY difficult by requiring a TV subscription in addition to my UFC "Fight Pass"  Fight Pass?  What a joke.

@bazik i never said he didnt have a chance? i expect him to win this fight. I said he wasnt a contender at 185 just yet. IDK where that was misconstrued. Di Chirico isn't really a threat unless your name is Oluwale Bamgbose. I fully expect Buckley to win this fight.

It's probably been brought up, but Buckley has been accused of being a terrible training partner, dirty in sparring, and has been kicked out of most gyms. This has come from the words of James Krause, I'd like to know if anyone has any more information on this?

James Krause has always seemed like a stand up guy, I don't see why he would lie.

Wu vs. Edwards
Yanan Wu, SUB, R3
Picking Yanan Wu simply because she has UFC experience and I'm not convinced that Joselyne Edwards quite at UFC level yet. As for the submission, I just don't know how good Edwards's gas tank is so my gut feeling is that she'll start to gas out in 2nd and have nothing left for the 3rd. In short, I'm picking Wu just because I know more about her.

I like and respect James Krause very much, which makes it hard to like Joaquin. We definitely have had guys like Joaquin come by our gym who just want to spar and basically use the gym as a way to get anger out, those guys are *******s

@HiDeff I wont say hes the best (Hell rank top 6 in his career) but he has been on the up and up over his last 3 fights, at least this next one will push closer in that direction.

Wu vs. Edwards
Joselyne Edwards, TKO, R2
I'm from Panama. I study Nutrition and Dietetics Bachelor's Degree in a Private University in my country. Joselyne was my classmate in 2018, she dropped out to focus on her career as a fighter. Joselyne is an excellent boxer, with good technique in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as well as having excellent strength. She and I were never really that close because we only shared classrooms for 6 months, but several of my friends and close colleagues have known her long before her first fight at KOTC. January 16 will be a historic day for MMA in my country, we have had a couple of representatives in the past: such as the participants of the Ultimate Fighters Latin America (Humberto Brown, Vernon Ramos and Oliver Meza), in addition to Carlo Pedersoli Jr. (His mother is Panamanian and she came out with our flag in her fight against Dwight Grant). I am very happy that my former classmate is fulfilling her dream of fighting in the UFC. Hand in hand with excellent management such as Dominance MMA and an excellent team of coaches such as Kings MMA.
