You think the Burns or Colby fights were controversial? Woodley beats himself by circling the fence at all times, he is extremely low volume and Luque will pressure him. I understand that he may have beat Luque in past years but he is a shell of himself today. He should retire after this one.

People alway talk about how Francis need to improve his cardio, Or Wrestling, But people never mention how he need to improve his boxing, Or at lest his shot selection for the rematch. In the 1st fight, all Francis really threw were teller-graph shot that Stipe could see from a mile away. Boxing Fundamental like a Jab will do wonders to distract Stipe from the punch that will KO him, While also being more efficient with his energy.  Francis only landed 18% of Significant  strikes or 21 out of 113,   

If he improve this, He probley Ko Stipe because Francis does have power, But what use is power if it doesn't connect? , But if he try the windmills punchs he knock out  Rozenstruck he look like a fool. remember Stipe got Knock out by DC. DC doesn't have the power of Francis, But DC was 10 time the boxer Francis was in the 1st fight

yeah agree he doesn't really have that great boxing either tbh, it's just his power is so ******* immense it kind of cancels all his faults and francis does have many faults, it's just everyone is sucked in by his power because yeah he has the biggest striking power by a mile, but to beat stipe miocic you really do have to be well rounded and it will be interesting to see Saturday if ngannou has improved his takedown defence, or if his terrible cardio has improved because if he doesn't get stipe out of there in the 1st or 2nd round then it's more than likely going to a decision and francis will be forced into deep waters again like in their first fight

Miocic vs. N'Gannou II
Stipe Miocic, TKO, R3
Stipe's boxing fundamentals and head movement should be his path to victory mixed in with his grappling. I don't think Ngannou's cardio or endurance will have improved seeing how inactive he's been in competition lately and how fast he finishes his fights. Hasn't seen adversity since fighting Stipe.. When it comes to Stipe, Francis is mentally checked out.

Woodley vs. Luque
Vicente Luque, DEC
Vicente just got out the booth and remixed Tyron's song. I'm gonna beat yo ass.

Almeida vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
13-0

Mullarkey vs. Worthy
Khama Worthy, TKO, R2
Worthy needs to put his lights out or get grapple******.

Menifield vs. Knight
William Knight, TKO, R2
Knight because I like fading menifield.

Penne vs. Goldy
Hannah Goldy, DEC
Gold all in my chain. Gold all in my rings. Gold all on my watch.

Robertson vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
The savage will fear the Maverick.

@Stek Almeida will probably send O’Malley into another dimension if he can get a hard counter shot.

Miocic wife is sexy af💯 also it's inspiring that he's heavyweight champion and created his legacy as best heavyweight in ufc history while also working on the front line as a firefighter through all of it

He's a volunteer fire fighter lol people need to settle down with this. I live 20 mins away. He helps out there once or twice a month at best. He isn't out fighting fires haha. If he is randomly there when they take a fire call. He's the guy hooking the hose to the hydrant lol not the guy running in the burning building. Plus its Valley View. they average about 1 fire a year in the whole town.

Nah man they really push that firefighter thing with him hahaha if you dont know any better you would actually think he is out fighting the blaze. Its a good story I guess. I want him to win as well.......Kinda.....maybe. As much as I'm a Stipe fan. I think he holds up the division too much. That and selfishly i want to see Jones vs Ngannou instead of Jones vs Stipe.

Stipe wins by late TKO once Ngannou is gassed after rd 1 or gets a dominating dec.

My biggest concern is that damn Apex cage. gonna be hard to avoid the FranBlitz when one step backwards and HW's are already at the fence. I want Stipe to win but im picking Francis because of the cage.

Sean OMalley is not proven at all and Thomas Almeida at +250 is a huge steal

Almeida is not the same guy since Cody took his head off. How do you find the confidence to lay money on an underdog who hasn't won a fight in almost 5 years? I know what he used to be but there's literally no telling how hes going to look. To each is own. Good luck my friend.
