The pick is Jacoby but the line is off. I have it -130 Jacoby and Oleksiejczuk +110. I think he's gonna use his kicks very well.

I agree with everything said. I think jacoby is the better fighter at this point in the respective careers of the two so feel like he wins. I think mullarkey will win off of sheer volume because he can take a hit while turner has been sparked before. Turner has every way to win the fight but I just think mullarkey is ever so slightly better. Also yeah still not sure about klein/smith

Can someone breakdown Agapova vs Moroz to me? I've seen Agapova fight before but I have barely seen Moroz fight. It seems that she is a grappler/sub artist? I also watched interviews from each fighter for this fight and it seems they really do not like each other and have bad blood. Maybe a finish will happen?

Damn these two girls really hate each other LMAO. I'm watching an interview right now, Moroz is saying that Mariya is a drug addict and that she tried to injure her in the gym. She says she has screenshots and videos of her craziness, calls her a nervous wreck. Agapova says that Moroz cost her sponsors and opportunities because of airing out the dirty laundry about her personal life.

One thing that stands out is that in Agapova's most recent interview I can find about this fight, she says that she will definately look for a finish but she won't burn herself out or rush into it like the Dobson fight. I think that Dobson fight made her a better fighter as it showed in her last fight. Beyond that Dobson fight, she is a really talented fighter with vicious power.

If Covington enters, as in the match against Lawler, where he is doing wrestling pressure to the wires, he will have no problems, he ducks under blow, enters the double leg and the imposed pace of the fight. There is a lot more understanding in the clinch and a lot of different takedowns, I think that the fight will take place in a 25-minute control, both in the clinch and on the ground floor. Masvidal could wait on some knee or uppercut when entering takedown but that is almost impossible because Covington always disguises it well. According to the footage from the sparring, we saw one wrestling lesson taught by Covington to Masvidal. The only thing I see that can surprise him is while they are at a distance with a lot of movement to keep the fight in a standing position to change the rhythm of the fight or cut his side punches, straight counter. Just so Covington doesn’t fall in love with his stance and don’t involve his ego in the fight and he will win this match very easily.

She probably won’t have to rush. She destroyed mazo in her last fight; she looked great and didn’t even gas

Alright, I think I'm going to go with Agapova for this one. Moroz has been gone for 2 years, she will be rusty. Agapova also has extreme drive to win this fight so there might even be a finish win here for her despite Moroz not being finished before.

The win over Mazo says it all. The girl calmed down as a fighter and improved her strengths. The Dobson loss was unfortunate but a lot of great fighters have that one weird loss on their record. I remember when I was researching Beneil Dariush vs Islam before he got injured, Beneil got knocked out by Alexander Hernandez earlier in his career which is pretty shocking.

As a female fighter who has been gone for 2 years, it's not fun to fight someone who is not only is a vicious fighter but someone who actually is extremely motivated to take your head off at the same time.

I'm all in on Agapova, Moroz has a serious lack of power for a boxer, so her goal is always to outwork her opponents on volume. I bet after getting cracked by Agapova a couple times that volume will seriously drop, and she'll get more hesitant. The only thing is Agapova can't get wild and try to take Moroz's head off and gas out. As you guys said I doubt that 2 year layoff does her any good too.

Moroz is also the one pulling out of her fights, not the opponents. That means she is either ducking or getting injured a ton. If it’s the latter, it means she’s likely going to be entering the fight with a ton of “baggage” (meaning past injuries)

So people are picking tim elliot eh?..
Tagir trained in AKA for this fight and was along side islam helping him as-well. I'm damn sure , khabib and the other coaches went over the mistakes he made last fight and islam winning also puts a fire in him. Plus he has another teammate in umar fighting in the same card so im really liking the russians this card.

Loving Agapova in this fight as-well. People seem to forget that coming in as a biggest betting fav on ur ufc debut is enough pressure to make almost anyone crumble and do rookie mistakes ( Going all out in round 1 and gassing.) Give me Agapova to finish this chick.

Did you miss Tagir's last fight? Short notice Allen Nascimento arguably beat him to a lot of people lmao.

Tagir is really not that good. I mean, his wrestling is suppressive but he does jack **** when he is on top. He also got controlled a ton against Bruno silva. Tim is a very good wrestler in his own right. The main concern for Tim is his fight iq and gas tank. Both suck, hence the terrible record. To be fair tho, he is fighting the top of the division and doesn’t always look bad; for instance, he was beating Brandon royval before gassing and is taking rounds off of guys like nicolau and Mighty Mouse. I think it’s u likely he wins but, I wouldn’t be surprised if his style wins him the fight; he will be the more active fighter and the judges could favor that

Agapova is all those things and I knew that since her loss to Dobson. She is a disrespectful callous wench with more pills in her than a schizophrenic ****star. Keep in mind, this hoe requested to fight Shana Dobson, whom was hands down the worst fighter in the entire women’s roster, and swung for the fences aimlessly and lost the bout through sheer ******* arrogance. I hope Moroz sends her ass back to her previous profession before practicing MMA: The Streets.
