UFC on ABC 2: Vettori vs. Holland

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

This will be the first fight No Trainer Mike Perry will have against someone with punching power. Dude's gonna get killed.

It's been three years since Till has had a convincing win. I think he's stayed relevant with his social media. I'm taking the hot hand. Vettori by decision.

Alvey vs. Marquez
Julian Marquez, TKO, R1
THIS ONE'S FOR MILEY CYRUS

Till vs. Vettori
Vettori, DEC
Marvin is just better, but its a good fight

Ansaroff vs. Dern
Dern, SUB RD 1
Dern is just to good for Dina

Allen vs. Yusuff
Yusuff, DEC
I think Yusuff being too fast but its close

Perry vs. Rodriguez
Rodriguez, DEC
29-28 

Holtzman vs. Gamrot
Scott Holtzman, DEC
After last time, i'm not betting on someone called "gamer" again. Sorry, Jordan Espinosa

@Tjl0106
I mean Sasha beat Louis because he gassed out, and the thing is Louis Cosce has no evidence of being UFC level, he was undefeated prior to the fight but if you look at his record he doesn't have a win over a very good opponent at all. Impa's record is quite more solid than both and he has shown that his cardio can last all 3 rounds. Buckley also fought a good fight with Holland who's ranked, I don't really see how getting ko-ed by Buckley in a rather competitive fight rules him out from winning this fight against Sasha.

Norma Dumont vs Bea Malecki
Dumont for the win
Dumont is one of those fighters who I do think is a bit better than her record actually states, also Malecki won her last fight however she did not look good doing it and does not seem to be able to utilize her range very well. Dumont has power in the hands and I can see her cracking Malecki's questionable spacing and defense.

Will make my other predictions later, this just seemed like the most easy to predict one on this card atm.

this card seems better than the actual ppv. 

Till vs. Vettori
Darren Till, DEC
Till I die!

Perry vs. Rodriguez
Mike Perry, DEC
Daniel is low-skilled IMO.

De Castro vs. Danho
Yorgan De Castro
So boring fight, but De Castro takes it.

Holtzman vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot
Future UFC champ (just saying).

Allen vs. Yusuff
Arnold Allen, DEC
This is a very good fight and a very good test for Allen. Gotta go with Arnold Allen but this should be a solid FOTN candidate.

Ansaroff vs. Dern
Mackenzie Dern, DEC
I think Nina gets too much credit just because she is Nunes' wife. Dern has ungodly levels of jiu jitsu and should cruise to a decision. I will give credit to Ansaroff for being able to last to a decision without being subbes, but that's it.

Makdessi vs. Bahamondes
John Makdessi, DEC
Idk

Khizriev vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, SUB, R2
Pretty solid fight, I think Daukaus should be able to submit the undefeated Khizriev but it should be good fight n matter how it ends.

Perry vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R1
D-Rod vs Perry is a solid booking choice. Both men should be looking for a solid comeback from a loss. I think Mike Perry will start to show ring rust from his (I'll call it "broken glass injury"). D-Rod should get TKO or Decision win.

De Castro vs. Danho
Yorgan De Castro, DEC
WHO. TF. IS. JARJIS. DANHO.

Saldaña vs. Griffin
Jordan Griffin, SUB, R2
Comeback win for Griffin.

Shore vs. Azure
Jack Shore, SUB, R2
Not too bad of a fight given it's an undefeated guy vs a guy with only one loss. Gotta go with Shore tho.

Jung vs. Gamzatov
Shamil Gamzatov, DEC
Gamzatov is a solid prospect with a solid record and Jung won't have much against him anyway.

Holtzman vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Gamrot has a solid 17-1 record but Holtzman could spring an upset depending on how his physical state is going into the fight.

Alvey vs. Marquez
Julian Marquez, DEC
Biggest gimme fight of the year so far. Marquez was on a 3 fight winning streak before losing, then getting another win after that. Alvey is on a 4 fight skid and will probably be cut if he loses this one. TAKE HIM TO PFL GOD DAMMIT!

@thebluedash Because Buckley knocked Kasaganay into another dimension. There's no way he can come back from that. As for the cardio, while Kasaganay has a solid gas tank, I feel that Palatnikov will do enough to at least weaken Impa before knocking him out.

Another insane value in WMMA. Can't believe Norma Dumant is -250, It shouldn't be close to that, -150 at best. What have she done, Beat Ashely Evens Smith. Big Woop. Simps really paying -200 price for that just because she has a big butt . I'm probley gonna be patient because I think I could get +250 or +300 on Maleki on fight night. 

Do I have to say for the 100th time but, most women fights that don't involve the about 15 good fighter that include Nunes, Joanna or Chookagain, tend to be 50 50 fights because the stupidest mistake are always the diffrence between victory and lossing, As for example -400 Miss Buys couldn't get out of a 'stupid headlock' for 3 rounds that the reason I've bet all women fighter above +200 in 2021 and I won 5 bets and lost 1

De Castro vs. Danho
Yorgan De Castro, TKO, R1
Bet 5$ jaris falls out of this fight due to injury.

Alvey vs. Marquez
Julian Marquez, TKO, R2
How is alvey not cut yet ? Lol

Shore vs. Azure
Jack Shore, TKO, R2
A tank will crush another barrier on his way, 25 winstrick it's not a joke, certainty go for Jack.

Miller vs. Solecki
Joe Solecki, DEC
"Young people everywhere we have a road, Old People everywhere we have honor", Solecki is a solid, hungry and overmotivated prospect, definitely take a win

Darren vs Vettori
This is a tough bout that can go either way, but I’m willing to go with Till. Vettori is a very all rounded, aggressive opponent with a good chin and insane cardio, which seems like a difficult matchup for Till, but Till has proven before he is an exceptional distance striker and his style is made specifically for fighters like Vettori, to force them into an aggressive bout so he can counter with his nasty shovel hook, overhand elbow, and cross. Vettori has also shown weakness against a similar experienced kickboxer in the past...if Till plays his cards right, Vettori could be on the receiving end of a striking seminar...


Allen vs Yusuff
Another very close fight on paper, but I’ll have to commit to Allen simply because of his experience. It’s honestly bizarre to think about how long he’s been in the UFC for. Sodiq will definitely put up a good fight though, but Allen’s technical ability is more polished in my opinion. 


Khisriev vs Daukaus
As awkward looking as he appears, there’s something special about Khisriev. His resume ain’t no joke, Daukaus is going to sleep.


Alvey vs Marquez
I understand this is a rather odd choice, but I’m going with Alvey. Julian struggled in his last fight against Maki Pitolo, who’s most likely on his way out of the promotion, and Julian only won because of a fortunately timed submission. As rough as Sam’s career has been lately, he still has enough fight in him to make it competitive, and I see his experience as an edge in this bout. 


Perry vs Rodriguez 
Perry is going to Bellator. Sad but true.


Miller vs Solecki
This fight is much closer than people are making it out to be. Miller has shown he is plenty capable of destroying up-and-comers in this sport, but struggles against legitimate veterans. As great as Solecki is on the ground, he has yet to beat a man of Miller’s caliber. This will be a turning point as to whether or not he is ready for big competition. That being said, I place my bet on Joe.


Holtzman vs Gamrot
I gotta say, props to Scott for accepting the contract, but holy s*** he is going to get smashed. 


Makdessei vs Bahamondes 
Ehh, this is kind of a weird matchup...interesting, but weird. I think it comes down to Bahamondes’s blatant weaknesses. He’s a bit of a slow starter and is a master in karate, AKA, the art of not keeping your go***mn hands up. I think John is good enough to beat newcomers at this point so my money is on him. 


Castro vs Danjho 
Castro, but barely. If he doesn’t knock Danjho out in the first round or two, he’s f*****.


Shore vs Azure
Azure is actually pretty underrated in terms of skill, but enough to beat Jack? Ehhh...probably not.


Jung vs Knight
Both are pretty good power punchers but Jung holds a special place in my heart. Guy has excellent distance management and a surprisingly wide arsenal of strikes and combinations. William is an athletic anomaly and is very competitive, but Jung has good fight IQ and a solid camp behind him. Jung all the way. 


Kasangany vs Palinikov
S***, I like both of these guys a lot...but I’m gonna have to stick with Impa. He handled that devastating loss on the chin very well, and is surprisingly patient and technical despite his size and power. Sasha is a good striker with a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but his chin has me worried. He can take a shot, but that bladed stance with the hands at his waste makes him a big target. Impa probably isn’t strong enough to knock him out, but he can definitely wobble or knock him down. From there, he should make it a clinch fest and grind Sasha to a decision.

Unpopular Oppion, This card is 100 time better then UFC 261 PPV as that even suck ass with Rose vs Weili and Smith vs Crute being the only good fights on that PPV that cost $65. Now compare it to this weeks card that free, This week have Sodiq vs Allen, Dern vs Nina, Perry vs D-rod, Jim Miller vs Rodriguez and the main event being highlight.  And even the fight that people don't give 2 ****s about will be bangers like Da Un Jung vs Knight, Marquz vs Alvey and Holtzman vs Gamrot

Kasanganay vs. Palatnikov
Sasha Palatnikov, DEC
I think Palatnikov will outgrind him for 3 rounds using reach advantage to press him against the cage and either clinch or get takedowns

I can’t see Till beating Vettori 

Khizriev vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, TKO, R3
Ok so to start with Ali, I'll start with the biggest factor that leans me daukaus, his resume. I saw someone post that ali's resume isn't a joke....uh yeah it kinda is, the last guy he beat was 13-3 but straight up gave ali a choke with almost no defense, and there is a few other winning record fighters he beat (but they still all have plenty of losses), but the first two thirds of his wins are against people who were 0-0 - 0-2. His wrestling is GOOD. He isn't khabib because he's dagastani, but he's very good. But in the few fights of his I did watch there was a lot of holes in his wrestling that someone like daukaus may be able to exploit for sub attempts or getting back to the feet, where I believe daukaus is both quicker and has the shorter distance to target for his shots. The one fight ali had that went long he showed decent tank I guess but the pace wasn't too heavily pushed like I believe kyle can, so I can see a fading into the third round. Kyle is going also be way more active with punches on ground top or bottom which I believe the judges sometimes look T more than control depending on the circumstances. I have seen ali get rocked a few times never anything crazy but Kyle has sneaky power and I'm going to say kyle tkos ali late 2nd or third round. It will be his first pro KO I believe. Not super confident in it, he's a submission guy too but I think ali is good enough to avoid it, possibly just wins another decision too. But I like kyle to win here.
