I think allen is less likely to get upset here. With hawes we knew that he has both a terrible chin and gas tank; two things allen does not posses.

Taking Riddell over Fiziev. Everytime I've seen Riddell in trouble he goes to his very good grappling. Taking on a dangerous striker with cardio issues. I think his game plane should be straight forward.

the only thing is fiziev has 100% tdd. Riddell is not a wrestler by nature, but he is 100% a more accurate grappler than the people who have tried to take fiziev down. I think riddles gas tank and grappling make the difference. I also think he is a steal at even odds

My only complaint about Fiziev is dude just throws hooks Green was doing him up with straight shots. If Riddell can just keep his shots down the pipe and out maneuver Fiziev feel like this one is pretty straight forward.

I wouldn't say Jake is a lock and I wouldn't feel safe picking em. Wells has better stand up and trains at Renzo Gracie along side Sabatini and Sean Brady so his BJJ is very good as well. I wouldn't touch this fight tbh.

And I wouldnt do a ML on the Rafael and Brad fight. If anything , I see Rafael winning the first 2 and brad dominating the third. Fizaev has way better striking but as you stated , a poor gas tank and he throws power shots the whole time , not straight jabs..I think if he studies the distance and slows his pace down he can cruise to a decision. I think it's safe to put money for it to go to decision.

yeah decision is definitely the best bet for that fight. I just like the value on Riddell at that price.

But I think Crute is a lock because he's stronger , better grappling and wrestling . Only thing Jamahal has is the distance. After he got bombed by Paul Craig , I don't feel safe picking em..but to each their own.

yeah im probably not going to pick hill even though I want him to win. However, I think he lost that Craig fight due to ego more than anything. He was mad at Craig leading up to the fight and wanted to test his bjj cuz he thought it was better (when it very much is not). I think Hill is definitely the better striker tho; dude is sharp on the feet and also will have 5 inches of reach on crute

Yeah Crutes striking isn't all that great, he just has KO power. But I think Crute will wrestle **** him to a decision , maybe to a late finish. I also think Claudio will do the same to the fading Gritz. Claudio by decision.

Agree on both. Hill's weakness is takedowns and crute is a really good wrestler; I think hes standing at an 80% accuracy right now. Gritz also shouldn't have won that last fight and sucks against grapplers

dont sleep on jahamals striking tho 👀 

edit: Also I think its important to note that the only person to take hill down was Darko stosic and even though he did take him down a bunch, he wasn't able to do much with it. Obviously, crute is a far better wrestler than Darko, but just something to think about. We saw crute take down smith a bunch but also wasn't able to hold him down a ton

Crute got too ahead of his self with smith. Totally looked past his opponent. I think this card is super stacked and very underrated.

For sure. Such a fresh breath of air especially compared to last weeks mess of a card. I like pretty much every fight on here except for 1 or 2

It’s literally like the better the fight is the higher chance it has to get cancelled. Like why this one why not the buys/Martin fight lol

Allen vs. Curtis
Chris Curtis, TKO, R1
Really Curtis is an underdog again? I'm getting on the hype train after that Hawes fight 1st or 2nd rnd ko.
