Sterling. Sterling-Yan I was a decently competitive fight, while I see Volkanovski-Zombie being one sided. I think Zombie is 2 levels below Volk while Sterling is just a level below Yan.

Also Sterling did beat Petr Yan and is on a decent little win streak, Aljamain is arguably the best fighter in the ufc with his last 2 wins being Sandhagen and Yan

Sterling by 1st round sub

Couple of fighters here I am not familiar with, Piera Rodriguez and Daniel Santos.

Anyone know much about them?

Just reading through the posts.

Interesting to know your point of view on how a girls periods will affect her weight cut and performance.

Last time I brought that up on this forum I got laughed at.

I don't actually think Khamzat Vs Burns will be a banger or competetive.

I think it will probably last all of about 5 minutes at most.

Going heavy on the Khamzat R1 prop when it comes out.

Are you high? Sterling dominated Yan for three rounds and finished him in the fourth.

Also find it interesting how everyone now is talking about how amazing Volkanovski is and how Zombie has no chance against him.

While I agree that Volk will win (especially because of my Aussie bias) I remember how just one fight ago everyone was calling Volk over rated and how Max got robbed. Most people's memory seems to last exactly 1 fight.

ah ok, my bad.

Missed the point!

It was an impressive finish, and an even more impressive post fight speech.

@rusty yeah Khamzat can beat him anywhere. Especially with training at tiger Muay Thai, burns might just get ko’ed instead

@rusty only video I could find of Daniel santos was a fight where he was losing and then threw a spinning bsck kick to the liver and won. Don’t really know how he has managed to draw both valiev and arce in the ufc thus far but somehow he has. Not expecting anything impressive from him, especially since he’s fighting such a good guy for his debut 


Edit: there’s actually a lot more of him on YouTube than I thought. He looks like he always brings the fight but not sure about actual skill level; looks kind of low

He also looks pretty low volume and mainly likes to throw spinning ****

Santos trains with Oliveira, maybe that's how he has gotten fights against Arce and Valiev already.

He’s actually decently exciting but I’m hesitant to go with him because I haven’t heard anything about him. Usually a debutant who isn’t short notice/dwcs I have at least heard something about but I can’t find anything anywhere besides YouTube videos

Imavov is ******

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 3246th

Nassourdine eats **** in this matchup. Yes Gastelum is on a massive losing skid, but look who he’s lost to. Now look who Nassourdine has beaten. The Shabazyan fight was quite the upset but I contribute his loss more to Edmen’s dumbass corner telling him to wrestle with a far superior grappler just because he got wrestle****** at AKA for a few months. Ridiculously stupid game plan and on top of that Edmen was doing completely fine on the feet up until he started reaching for single legs. Then you have Heinich who is 1/5 in his last five fights, and Jordan Williams who is a ******* undersized diabetic. For ****’s sake the guy gets a little bit of leverage in the division and people think he’s gonna take the lights out of a guy who Whittaker and Cannonier couldn’t knock out? Get the **** out of here, and I thought my jokes were bad.
