That’s true actually but he does need to work on fight iq. He gave up his neck twice when going for a takedown against imavov. I get he was tryna show what he learned but that was low iq trying to grapple with the better grappler

I got Rozenstuik/Dern/Chimaev/Pennington/Arce as my confident picks.  Will do more research later this week.

Idk I wouldn’t put max confidence in dern. She’s a female gracie essentially. I like that torres only loses are every current champ, former champ, and the number 1 contender. Dern hasn’t shown any improvements in striking or wrestling yet

Disagree on Dern I tihnk she's looked better in her last 2 fights physically. She's also gotten a few nice TDs vs Ansaroff and vs Rodrigues. I wouldn't say she's a good wrestler yet but she's definitely improving in my book.

fair, I just think darn relies more on her opponents making mistakes and I dont see Torres making the mistakes that randa markos did for example

I got Piera Rodruguez at plus money, I don't know much about Piera, But if she good like most people say,  I don't mind a dog shot on her,  I don't like being confident in WMMA as the women fighters are less skilled then men fighter in general, Making it volitile,  But it plus money so I don't need to be as confident

I hear ya Duck. For me its more about how bad Hansen has looked than how good Piera has looked. 

Hansen is one of the few fighters that I can remember that actually looks worse with each trip to the cage.

Holy **** I've spent over 5 hours on a single bout and still going with the tape. Not sure if it's an advantage or disadvantage at this point to have an extra week of time to research.

Rumour has it that Aljamain Sterling started crying because of the beating he put on Yan, It was a brutal beating and I was glad the fight was stop when it was or Yan was going to be a dead man, The referee for the bout was nut for letting it go as long as it did

Sterling 1 round KO- Lock

Sterling will do better than people think. I imagine he paces himself a lot better this time and wins maybe one or two rounds, possibly even three. I still think Yan builds during the fight eventually securing a 5th round finish but Aljo is still probably the second best bantamweight in the world.
