I want to switch my pick to Craig because Nikita makes a lot of mistakes on the ground but at the same time I can’t trust Craig’s chin

I was going to go to Craig but if i do, then I think he loses.  I am not good at picking his fights.

Sub heavy card or just me? I think we get at least 3-4 and see the potential for as many as 6.

Trying to rebound from one of the worst weeks I've ever had last week. Was able to do way more research this week so feel good about most of these.

I don’t like Craig because I don’t think the power bottom stuff is a reliable strategy to win lot of fight, I think this year in the UFC, only Brindage and Demolous got subs of they back, that why I think submission of they’re back is more anything can happen in MMA, and it basically fact that if the fight ain’t finish, whomever on top wins

But I will say, Craig is like the submission Derrick Lewis so I can’t be to confendent in Krylov

It’s hard to pick because while krylov has good submissions, he doesn’t have great sub defense. Which is especially bad against someone like Craig. He has all the tools to win but Craig is very tricky on the ground. 80% of tapology on Craig is just crazy tho. Recency bias at its finest

I'm on Krylov simply because of how competitive he was with Glover, I think he's gotten into the level of a reliable gatekeeper. The one thing I don't like is that even in some of his wins he's put himself in very dangerous submissions, but the last two guys that subbed him, Jan and Misha, both have qualities that Craig lacks imo.

Jan's wrestling has become quite formidable for what it used to be, and Misha simply cracked Krylov before he could get going. Paul is a bit of a one-trick pony when facing competent guys.

no hate on felder but he needs to do a little more work on the anouncing before he does another ceremonial weigh in.

Only 2 dog picks for me on Tapology this week and I'm flip-flopping a lot on one of them (Hooker). The fact that he weighed in at 145 rather than 146 is a good sign for him but I find this fight very hard to call.

I have a lot of dog bets though since these lines are ******* crazy.

Watching tape for this event has been some of the funnest just for the commentary lol. Krylov v Ankalaev and Shamil v Daukaus is some of the funniest commentary.

im backing hooker also, i respect allen but im siding with competition level advantage for hooker. might be blind faith but i feel like hes going to be able to stuff the tkd attempts. Im losing faith in Craig the more i look into krylov. Im giving sato a shot considering gunnys huge layoff. jai is a long shot i'll take a couple stabs at for the odds. but thats it dogwise for me

I honestly think Petr Yan should go with a Legendary corner. Henry Cejudo, Charles Oliviera and **** it, bring Joe Rogan

Petr Yan would win even if he had Mr Rogers in his corner.

@chrispm personally I wouldn’t go with sato. He’s a solid WW but is pretty one dimsensional. If it gets down to the ground he’s ******. I do agree that 2.5 year layoff is pretty concerning but I usually find that ring rust isn’t as real as people make it out to be

no confindence in sato but a tiny sprinkle never hurt , gotta have some upsets mixed in draftkings lineups. Big layoffs leave a lot questions unanswered until the bells sounds
