Yes sir! 

I had Belal in his last fight too, but fighting is a lot obviously about style matchups.

Wonderboy struggles with wrestling, Belal has good wrestling. 

This fight is MUCH different. Luque has way better wrestling and all around game.

I don’t think luque will respect belals striking because he has pillowfists. I think he’s gonna get in Belals face and knock him tf out

I got Luque by sub in 2nd.............Balal runing strait in guillotine or D'arce...of course he can finished him where ever fight goes. Even though Balal is tough, i cant see distance here. He finish him once and in sat. it will be twice.... or not...we will see, once a blind guy said.

Yes but in that fight Belal went in trying to strike with Luque, it was a sloppy performance by him, tried to throw a 3 strike combination ending with a lead roundhouse that didn’t get up in time because Luque put his lights out, that’s a moment to definitely learn from, it’s not like Luque just starched and outclassed him, the fight was in 2016 and yes they’ve both grown since then but I can’t imagine Belal making that same mistake again, this will be an entirely new fight which I believe can go either way, I wouldn’t count Belal out because he got clipped early and knowing the gameplan will be a 180° difference. It’s a good & fair rematch imo

Easiest hedge ever Belal by decision and Luque by finish.  Nice plus odds either way.

Short notice fight for fialho. But the man s style is more or less the same. Maybe more time to prepare will give him more than 1 round of round winning cardio

Yes it was, and everyone wants to say he gassed after the first because it was short notice, but that's what happens in just about every fight of his he doesn't finish early. Don't take my word for it they're on YouTube. If he doesn't finish baeza early I think baeza finishes late or wins 29-28/30-27 decision. Imho

Fiahlo doesn't stop throwing even when he is gassed.  He gave Michel Pereira a ******* dog fight in one where most were all in on Pereira.  The guy was breathing from his mouth the last two rounds and it took every bit of the third round for Michel Pereira to get the decision 29-28 across the board.  This is a guy that fights for your money and doesn't quit.  He's at a camp now that is for sure working his cardio.  And for Baeza, he definitely has knock out capability and good striking but man, he doesn't handle being hit very well at all.  You see the fight against The Immortal and he got rocked really hard and luckily was able to get the older fighter out in the 2nd.  But ever since then, Baeza has had a real rough go of it.  He took a beating from Ponzo and god damn did The Oxfighter shut his lights out (no shame in that).  Fiahlo is a problem here.  It's definitely a dog or pass situation.

It was short notice, and in interviews Fiahlo keeps saying that when he does have a full camp, he tends to get a knockout in the first 2 rounds. On the flip side, Baeza apparently has hired a sports psychologist after his losses. Maybe he takes a more conservative approach here and focuses on just getting the W (grapple-heavy), but I have to agree that this is a dog or pass situation.

ngl I thought fialhos cardio looked much improved in the pereira fight. He clearly lost the last two rounds but he never stopped walking down pereira. Hes also a great counter striker which is scary if youre on baeza because we all know hes very hittable. Baeza also likes to fight in the center while fialho instantly closes the distance and tries to pressure his opponent against the cage. if he just zombie walks he will be able to put the pressure on baeza and make him fight where he is uncomfortable

Fialho is very tough and durable after watching the pereira fight, but baeza has better cardio than pereira , so it's gonna be a baeza decision imo, in a more comfortable fashion than pereira did it

Idk man. Seems like every card there's someone I feel good about and everyone seems to be dog or pass on it. I just absolutely don't see the love for fiahlo other than you're just really holding out for potential improvements. 

Another thing I didnt mention is everytime someone tried to hold him down in the non ufc fight, they were able to pretty much the whole round. Not sure if that's ability or him being gassed. Baeza hasn't shown much of that in UFC but he won a few regional fights via wrestle ****. 

Even if this is as even on the feet as everyone seems to think its going to be, which I disagree with, baezas going to have that path in his back pocket. 

Of course, in my opinion.
