I’m kinda shocked the fight exists. It’s a mismatch I really think turman is one of the worst fighters on the roster 

Ok one of the worst is an exaggeration but he’s pretty bad. One of the worst MWs for sure

I agree, Rodolfo is levels above Turman on the ground. But the reason I can't put any faith in him is his gas tank. Even though he is the far superior grappler if he is tired that counts for nothing.

And Demopoulos is very high level for that division. Trust me. On the ground she will sub Gomez in minutes. But getting it there is the problem.

@Ayy you are probably right about Frevolas chin and possibly about Giles gas tank. But I really do not trust Giles one bit.

I'll probably put turman in a parlay. I think he's a better striker than Viera and if it stays on the feet he could definitely take it by dec or late KO/TKO. That's a big if though.

No confidence in Giles but I cannot see what are people are seeing in his opponent. He looks like a very ordinary fighter to me. Not standout anywhere. 

Taking Frevola by lateish KO/TKO. Just think he's the more durable, cardi-superior guy. Won't be shocked at all if he loses however.

BTW guys did you see that Giga said today he would beat Kattar 9 out of 10 times, and this was that one time he would lose! Lol this guy is delusional.

He has rapidly become my least favourite fighter on the UFC roster.

The Giga Chikadze experience reminded me one last time to never back a one tricky pony no matter how successful they have been or how crazy of a run they are on.

The three levels of MMA:  striking, wrestling, jiu jitsu.  If you are only good at one thing like striking in Giga's case, you will eventually be exposed.  

All the true elite fighters are good at all three levels of MMA such as Jon Jones and Kamaru Usman.  They can box outright, they have good chins to withstand shots, they can impose their will wrestling, they can perform or defend submissions as well.  

In the case of our upcoming main event, I don't know whether to still consider Ngannou a one trick pony.  He showed improvements in the wrestling department against Stipe last fight which was the true game changer in that fight.  Is he still a one trick striking pony?  Because Gane has proven he can strike, he can wrestle and he has jiu jitsu.

Bro after your post I went and rewatched tape on Giles and Morales.

You are 100% right, and I have switched my pick.

Morales is actually going to be in trouble here, I agree! Far far too hittable and keeps his chin up when rushing in. He is gonna get KOd I think. Overall his striking looks so much worse than I remember. Sure he has a reach advantage but does not seem to know how to use it. And GIles has some excellent boxing. He should piece him up on the feet. Morales also does not seem to have much power so I have no idea how he had so many KOs on his recored. Actually, I take it back. He has mainly fought cans! 

Morales main path to victor would have to be with his wrestling,i which is excellent (I think he had some Olympic experience?) but Giles has good wrestling too and a good get up game. Also will have the much much better BJJ.

I think Morales is F-d here. Thanks for your post. I owe you one!
