UFC 271: Adesanya vs. Whittaker 2

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

No comeback to my point because your clearly wrong. You misunderstood what i said, nothing wrong with that. Your just acting like you have an extra chromosome at this point. Basically whipped out the 7 year old "no you" comeback ha. 

Rusty is triggered 

I would really like Rob to win,but had to pick against him unfortunately. I think second time they meet - it will be a great competitive fight up to Dec. 

So many great fights! Morozov said: "It will be his night", well i kind of doubt it. Not an easy dude infront of him.

matt schnell got people mad like he wasnt about to get 30-27d

Cannonier vs. Brunson
Derek Brunson, DEC
29-28 Brunson

Phillips vs. Rojo

More careful with gas tank after Paiva fight.

Just watched the weigh ins and have a few thoughts.

Whittaker looked really good and relaxed. I like that. Izzy looked great but he is a real weirdo. Still, great comment at the end of the faceoff. Also Anik got told lol.

Lewis looked good and not nervous like the Gane fight. Tai did not look great imo. I might think about this and switch my pick. 

DeAndrade looked really sucked out, I can't remember if he usually looks that way? Morozov looked really releived to make weight but looked good. Don't know what that means.

Feel sorry for Grishim, Obviously struggled to make the weight and Knight rocks up straight from Maccas. Obviously the fluid retention effects from steroids are hard to wash out in 2 weeks. Disgraceful. Hope he gets pushed up to HW where he will get stomped on by Romanov.

Rojo looked good but it won't matter. Kyler is going to smash him. Still want to see the T Rex in the UFC but this isn't the spot.

Malkoun looked decent but I now really think Dobson is going to win this easily.

Cherant looked good but again it shouldn't matter. Ulberg is going to crack that porcelain chin. The ring girls were literally giggling inb the back when Ulberg came on stage. I think a lot of women are going to buy this PPV.

Moicano looked focused. Hernandez looked pissed off and miserable. Also lots of cupping marks on his back. He is ready to get his ass kicked on PPV in his home town. I now think Moicano is a really really good bet.

Casey looked ready. Not sure why everyone thinks she is that good looking, give me Lipski any day. She should win this and hopefully we never have to sit through a Roxy fight again. She has given us so many years of absolutely boring fights so thank you.

Blood diamonds head is also shaped like a diamond. He should get choked out in R1. If not Wells is in trouble because his gas tank is reportedly horrible. He looked like he gassed out stepping on and off the scale.

Vanderaa looks like my local butcher. He will probably lose. He waved bye bye and that might be prophetic. Arlovski looked good.

Hot takes for the last two. 

Bumson was last to the scale and did not look good. I would bet my last dollar he had a rough weight cut. As for Cannonier, jeez what is this guy made out of? Looks like you could break your hand punching his stomach. I think this a R1 KO for Cannonier and I have laid heavy money on this.

Haqparast was 2nd last to the scale which is not a good sign. And he had bruises and cupping marks over his chest. I think that is significant and may be carrying an injury. On a side note Bobby has awful aim and I am glad he is not playing any ball sports.

Very surprised they moved Hernandez to a main card spot after one cancellation 

The more I watch Tuivasa's last fight the more confident I am he's going to get KTFO.

They are paid fine

Phillips vs. Rojo
Kyler Phillips, DEC
Damn. This fight was scheduled on the Main Card, but they changed it to the Preliminary Card and put Alexander Hernández vs. Renato Moicano instead. And since I am a maniacal and obsessive person with the rule systems that I follow, I want to eliminate this pick to be able to pick the fight between Hernández and Moicano without altering the numbers, but I don't know how to eliminate a pick. I think its imposible :(. Help? PS: From now on, I will wait until the last 6 hours of an event before picking winners in Tapology.

Maxim Grishin (206) vs. William Knight (218)**

* = Perez missed weight class limit by 2 pounds; the bout was later canceled
** = Knight missed weight by 12 pounds; as a result, the bout was shifted to the heavyweight division

Adesanya vs. Whittaker II
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R3
- ground and pound

ya heard me

I do enjoy some Lipski...but Casey O'neill has kind of a unique exotic look...I think its the eyes. Paige VanZant gets a lot of buzz but she just doesnt do it for me.

Rachel Ostovich and Monterrat Ruiz are prob my top 2.

Alright..I'm done simping.

NgannouPunch You like Casey O'Neills one lazy ******** eye? damn bruh

I'm not really stuck on small stuff I think shes an attractive girl.

Knight vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, DEC
I have no idea now especially with Knight coming in 12lbs overweight and with no signs of dehydration. Grishin just better but pick-em' imo

Lipski sexy, not simpin. We gotta stop shaming over silly ****
