KKF is over rated, my opinion at least.

And Askar Askarov is grossly under rated.

I think he is talented but outside of catching Askar with something nasty, I don't see that fight going for him.  I think 8/10 times it ends in a decisive unanimous decision for Askar.  1/10  times Askar might get the sub and then maybe once Kai lands something vicious and wins.  But I don't see it as too likely.  That's why they fight the fights!!! I could be wrong.

Round 2 man, so off by a round.

Btw guys do you think the live crowd has something to do with it? A lot more finishes on cards where there is a live crowd? I am beginning to think there is something to that!

I think you are right man, I dunno but I actually see Askarov as a potential champion in the future. Maybe I am wrong about that but I do think he is that good.

As the MMA Guru said, he also has the advantage of being able to hit people after the bell rings and say he didn't hear it lol

I think the travel made it difficult for a lot of people, as far as London.  The crowd and emotional stuff going on with Grundy definitely affected him.  Wow that was a reckless move.

His style is a pain in the ass.  I'm 6'4" and 230 lbs with a boxing background.  I would get murdered by that guy within 30 seconds.  He is a nightmare match up for a lot of people.  lol.

I do too.  I think normally that is a coin flip fight.  Someone on here I was talking to (may have been JReynolds) got a very nice line on Amirkhani, so I was happy for him.  I had no dog in the fight.  But it ain't a 50/50 fight when you put your neck where Amirkhani wants it while you are dry as sand lol.

This is why you wait until weigh ins if you can. Saldana looked a bit rough on there imo. Also waited 90 minutes to weigh in. I have him to win it but with a history of gassing badly his last 2 that **** scared me off betting him. Too much risk for me on this one.

Wait a minute I thought Saldana weighed in at 146. He weighed in at 145. I feel like it's Hooker all over again. Did not think Hooker looked good on the scales but then he weighs in at 145 for some reason.
Why wouldn't these guys put themselves at the absolute limit of 146 if they're having a rough weigh cut?
