Most HORRIBLE picks I'v ever seen so far.

How the hell can Chandler TKO Tony first round *** ?

Same with punch drunk Gaethje, he almost got himself TKO by Chandler and ALWAYS struggle to finish his opponents after knocking them down.

I can see him rock Oliveira but he won't follow up, so with that being said he needs a ONE PUNCH knock-out, which he never do, except with washed up Barboza.

In this fight, he will run backward while trying to do power shots and Charles will pressure him until he gass out like always then Oliveira will either chose to keep it standing up and knock him out or chose to make him tap and make him eat his words.

Gaethje has only 1 tool to win and can barely knock his opponents out when they ALSO brawl with him.

His cardio hasn't improved, his ground still ****. How the hell can he be a Champion with those type of skills ?

For me, he's even LUCKY to have this title shot.
Beating Chandler shouldn't give you a rematch for the title.

Gaethje is a fraud who never beat no real high level opponents, even when the opponent play by his game he struggle to win.

Charles by what ever he wants, submission or knock-out.

*** do you mean his cardio is **** lol. He not only trains in Colorado but he’s one of the highest volume strikers in the ufc. His ground game sucks but he’s very very good on the feet

So you think Gaethje cardio looked good in his last fight ?

Even with his new style of boxing he was already breathing heavy in the middle of the first round agains't Chandler, same thing with Khabib.

His gas tank is still ****, he has 1 round of full capacity, then second round he's already at 50% then lesser and lesser.

Since when "training in Colorado" is an argument for his cardio, explain me ?

I give him 1 round of punching while going backward then he's finished.

@AyyLmaonnaise What's your prediction since his striking and cardio is that good ?

I still have do Bronx winning but you’re clearly so biased lol. You’re forgetting this guy has multiple 3rd round finishes and a 5th round ko. You clearly know nothing if you don’t know the benefits of training in Colorado; it’s on elevation (hence the mountains, I’m not sure if your pea brain can comprehend this) and training at elevation helps with your cardio. He’s going to lose because of his lack of ground game against the biggest bjj threat in the ufc, and even then it’s not a guarantee that Charles wins.

The problem with this card is that half the main card fighter are shot fighter, Tony, Shogun, Cowboy and Lauzon shouldn't be fighting anymore, And OSP is close to retirement, I really like the two title fights as they are fun fights, I just want to see the best fight, And not Bellator fights and that what the non title main card fight fell like

Edit: also think Shogun and Tony are going to die in their fights, And that not fun to watch, I think Cowboy vs Lauzon isn't as bad at least they both shot, No one want to see fighter who gave us hours of entertaiment get **** up

OSP is shot. As one of the biggest Tony fans yeah he's shot. His game was so reliant on his crazy athleticism that now that it's gone all he has is the best chin in UFC history. All his quirks like overextending, fighting from his back, leaving him exposed to do spinny elbows are all naught now that his body has aged like milk. Just hope Chandler goes for bellator him and decides to outwrestle him. Also prime tony would've beat Khabib....

It fact that Cowboy, Lauzon and Shogun shouldn't be fighting anymore and  Tony shouldn't fight any top fighter. People are getting mad at what I'm saying with the downvote because they want to live in a ******** world with no consequence, But brain damage is a thing and without trying to get to depressing, I want the fighter I love to watch for so many year, be able to read to they grandchildren in the future 

Anyone watch Tony. Cowboy, Shogun last fight and 2 fights ago for Lauzon, Real depressing ****

I get what you're saying, but I think these fights you listed are actually not out of line.

Tony's last 3 losses were to 3 of the most dangerous current killers in the division, there is no shame there.
OSP & Shogun seem fair -  if UFC threw these guys to Jailton Almedia tomorrow I'd be more sided with your argument.

Finally - I get it with the brain damage and all, but again these fights are not totally out of line. But if they were - we have to remember that these guys PRIZE FIGHT for a living. Anyone with the mindset to take this endeavor as a life's path has long accepted the potential consequences, and most likely know on their own when enough is enough.

it's **** relative to his competition (Khabib, Oliveira, Ferguson). He's proven that if he avoids it he can beat the living **** out of you, but it's been also proven that if you put that grappling pace on him then he starts drowning pretty fast. We will have to see how Oliveira is able to prepare for that fight.
