That is true but idk barboza doesn’t deal well with pressure. He’s got good tdd, great tdd actually but as long as Mitchell is trying to take him down, barbozas striking will be negated. He wants this at range because if he gets taken down he’s getting finished. Mitchell will probably back him against the cage or wait till he throws a spin kick and get him down. If he can’t do that he needs to go in the pocket and just grind him against the cage

Ik I was just saying it. But he’s still losing a ton of fights that prime wouldn’t be losing. Plus he’s 36.
He’s definitely not in his prime anymore

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 380 Points   |   Tied for 3907th

dos Anjos vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, TKO, R2
If it was a 3 round fight, I would pick Fiziev without hesitation, but his cardio really is a problem passed round 2 (Bobby Green was a few punches away to win their fight last time). It should be fascinating if RDA can survive 2 or 3 brutal rounds.

Barboza vs. Mitchell
Edson Barboza, DEC
I really believed Barboza could at least compete for the glod at featherweight, but he's running out of time, and of chin at this point. Win or oss here, he should still be able to give us some fun and memorable wars against the likes of Cub Swanson and Alex Caceres.

Holland vs. Oliveira
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
Really dangerous fight for Holland. Cow boy is inconsistant as hell, but he's so wild he can hurt anybody on a good night. It should be very fun while it lasts.

I got Spivak and Holland on my bet from this card.
I think also Agapova and jacoby are having potential here

I will not bet my money on Agapova and Jacoby because I think their opponents are not bad/useless. 
But for me , Spivak and Holland are safe choices.
Neither Hardy or cowboy (in that age) can hurt them

Whoever is picking Nzechukwu after his last fight is absolutely most definitely brain dead. This man is literally going to be grounded all fight, Nzechukwu starts wayyyy too slow.

Yeah but have you seen negumeranu? He’s terrible. Kennedy has some serious red flags and trains at a bad gym but Nicolae is ass. He just eats shots and has terrible accuracy.

Yes but I'm expecting Negumereanu to waste not too much time on the feet. Nzechukwu literally invites the clinch too much in the 1st round, I guess it's the same faith I had in Jessica Rose Clark to stand up with Egger so definitely can be horribly wrong but that's the fun. 

Especially against a "wrestler", you start late and invite the clinch too much early. Just think too many things are telling me to run far away from Kennedy.

Yeah Kennedy has good tdd tho. Nicolae is really a low level fighter just gone on a streak cuz he’s getting equally bad competition

Like wise Kennedy's streak was due to people gassing out when really he was getting his ass beat. But fair and def a fight that's risky for me to have confidence in.

It smart to avoid betting on WMMA favourite, It just to volitile, And the one you can trust with your money are usually like -500 or more. I also don't blame anyone taking a bet on the women underdog because it usually is 50-50, 

I never bet a -200 price tag on Women MMA is not worth it

Parlay Manon Fiorot & Devonte Smith (Maybe Tagir & Holland)

The only -400 fav you should be trusting on this card is Manon Fiorot. What is Jessica Eye going to do ? Outstrike her ? Out kick her ? Out cardio her ? Only path for Eye is grappling/wrestling in which people seriously underestimate the grappling/wrestling of manon fiorot. I reckon people will go back and see that Eye has beaten Chookagain and Araujo and take the dog shot on Eye. Where was this logic when Jennifier Maia was out boxing Eye and getting back up from Eye's TD's. I rest my case.

I agree but again you have to weigh up both sides. Brian got that TKO power whilst Eye isn't deadly enough for anyone to be worried.
