But like I said my man , Hill is not bad at all. I just don't think this was a good match up for him. Like you said , who in that division has the output he does? I think this might be another lesson that he needs to polish himself as a true MMA fighter.

Very well said. 


For Maki vs dusko, all I gotta say is yikes. Maki really isn’t as bad of a fighter as his record would show, but his fight iq has costed him a lot. When he goes for takedowns, he leaves himself open for sub opportunities and it’s costed him twice. He had the marquez fight in the bag but he didn’t listen to his coach and went for the sub because he gassed out. Dusko isn’t terrible either but also has a lot to work on. He relies too much on his chin (as shown by his striking defense) and just eats punches. He’s also a terrible offensive and defensive wrestler (5% tda 55% tdd). He seems like he could sub maki here as he attacked subs quickly when puna had him on the ground. 

I think dusko will probably sub maki here

Same thing I was thinking. Ill take em by finish of some sort. Usually when I lock in specifically sub picks , they end up getting a TKO from G&P or something.

McGregor Tarnished Aldo's Legacy (for casuals)

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 505 Points   |   Tied for 697th

Aldo 2.0? I think so he is looking great at BW. 
Jose Junior Aldo
His Resume is absolutely stacked, His accolades are hard evidence as to why he is still arguably one of the FW of all time. In the last 3 yrs he has competed against both the FW champ and BW champ unfortunately falling short, this shows that he is still so elite (no surprise) and in the picture. With that being said I believe a lot of this gets overlooked because of the way he went out to McGregor and the circumstances of how he came to be a BW. 

None the less I'm just super excited to see everyone give ALDO  the love he deserve after this bout W/L/D #BWCHAMP2022

Yeah main event it very hard for me to call. Aldo looked the best he ever has at bw and didn’t even slow down like he usually does, but rob font has some clean ass boxing. I wanna see how Jose’s cardio holds up in the 5th

From my early research so far, it might be an underdog evening.  Not exactly sure which ones yet but there might be at least 4 or more underdogs who win on this card.

I don’t hate Aldo by dec. I think the odds should be a lot closer than they are right now. Aldo is on a resurgence and he’s also the best fighter rob font has shared the cage with so should be interesting. Fonts also in the prime of his career

I also have Wells by KO late in the fight and aldo by decision. I think he's an all around better fighter , font has crisp boxing but I think if aldo shows up he will win the first couple rds and get a 48-47 decision unless he gets dominated in the 5th which could lead to a draw. Gonna be a very entertaining and well matched fight , for sure.

Yeah that’s gonna be a tough one to call. Aldo gets **** on for that Petr yan fight but most people don’t realize it was super competitive until the fifth. After seeing Jose Aldo nearly break a sweat in the third round of his last fight (when he’s been notorious for slowing down in the third) greatly improves his stock in this fight. My only concern is if he can keep up with fonts volume as the fight does on. We’ve seen him lose the volk fight, both holloway fights, and the yan fight because he got outvolumed. Font can keep an insane pace for 5 rounds as we saw against Cody. Should be a great fight

As a boxer, my biggest concern is Aldo chopping his lead leg up too

Yeah that's always the best route to take against a boxer or anyone whos a threat on the feet, for example... The Rothwell fight, started off with a viscous leg kicks and after that , shows over. Not comparing , just an example of how a leg kick can completely ruin someone's game plan. Especially those who rely on staying on the feet.

Also the fact that font doesn’t block leg kicks at all. He’s checked a total of 2 leg kicks out of the 40 something leg kicks he’s absorbed in this winstreak

Oooo, I hope Aldos camp seen that in the footage. That could be bad. But I don't want Aldo getting ahead of himself with that because it'll leave his head open and you don't wanna do that against Font. His combos can be wild.
