Yeah , Dustin's best bet would to stay standing..I wouldn't risk it. Stuff takedowns if possible and get back to the feet. I wouldn't even trust him on top. Charles is too lengthy and could easily get something off from the bottom. But Dustin is smart so he would sense something like that. Who knows.

Yeah if I’m Dustin, even with my solid grappling I want to avoid all clinch exchanges and anything near the fence. I would just avoid the ground in general

Ige is ******

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 605 Points   |   Tied for 1121st

Emmett is probably the strongest featherweight I’ve ever seen. Getting punched in the face by Emmett is about as pleasant an experience as being Epstein’s personal massage the******. Emmett’s hands were carved by the finest stonemason, using the hottest essence of a volcanic ore, handcrafted to perfection to put more holes in the human body than a bullet ridden hermaphrodite. When Emmett hits you, the earth quakes, storms arise, and ******* moisten. 

I think Ige is a decent fighter but he suffers from having either a terrible corner or just bad fight IQ. He tends to come into fights with poor game plans and gets dropped/clipped early as a result. I can see him surviving till the end, but winning? Not a chance in hell. My man is gonna be decapitated via good ol’ knuckle-to-temple collision. 

Emmett via R1 KO

Yeah, I'm taking Emmett. Ige's balls shrink pretty fast when he gets hit. Emmett will be there until the end.

Ige has never been KOd

Emmett can’t put away guys like Felipe Arantes, Scott Holtzman and Jon Tuck. And you think he’s gonna run over a super durable Ige?

Yes. Michael Johnson had never been ko’ed before and he knocked him out. Mma math doesn’t work  

Edit: never been fully knocked unconscious. Also look what he did to lamas. No one ever put lamas out that bad

Doesn’t mean it won’t happen but Ige is durable

5 rounds with TKZ and 3 rounds with Kattar and Barboza. Emmett is probably more powerful punch for punch but I don’t like that he isn’t KOing Arantes, Holtzman, and Tuck. I could see him KOing Ige but I could also see Ige KOing Emmett.

I think O malley is underrated

A lot of people **** on Suga cause he hasn’t beat anyone ranked and he’s a celeb but I think he has enough to hand Paiva is debatably first L. I see Suga landing more eye catching shots and winning a close decision.

I mean kattar and barboza are good strikers but they don’t ko most people they fight. TKZ grappled him the entire fight so makes sense he didn’t ko him

Charles' wrestling is actually underrated and improving every fight. He has a great double leg and if you can take Chandler down, who has notoriously incredible takedown defence, then you're doing pretty well. All it will take is Dustin off balance after switching stance step through combo or even clinching against the cage and Charles is in his element. Dustin must have given his neck up about 3-4 times before Khabib finally took it. Cant decide if I think the guillotine off a sloppy shot or a RNC is more likely for Charles....
