UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Vera

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

It's the ufc promoting and pushing to fast and then stupid casuals getting brainwashed in khamzats case anyway 

I'm happy Dawson is at Sanford tbh. Glory is a good gym for the midwest, but that's like being the hottest chick at the meth house. I think Dawson gets his nutrition and conditioning set straight for this bout, but it's a tough ask IMO. Gordon is, in my opinion, very underrated.

Dawson and gordon both at sanford ?

Wait, Dawson is at Sanford now? According to Tapology that's where Gordon is at. Could be awkward.

Gina Mazany   vs.   Shanna Young

Abysmal matching. Canvas-dredgings-sc****d-off-the-floor-of-the-INVICTA-ring-on-a-slow-week-post-a-Kish-with-an-IBS-flareup-tier-bout of abject awfulness between two very unlovely women whose careers are surely a destined for expedited extinction as Mcspaghetti and whose records are worse than anything George Michael ever put out at Christmas and more likely to result in airwave-vectored AIDS spreadery and the literal kind both.

Anyone care to explain to me how Young only appears to have a set of adult teeth when she puts in a mouthpiece--and the rest of the time somehow breaks all conventional understanding of the aging process by looking eighty-seven years old in her thirties? Or how in the name of everloving **** Mazany has an onlyfans gig? I can't even begin to fathom how there's a market for that. Maybe it's some kind of FBI entrapment sting. Anyone who subscribes gets sent an invite to an IRL face-to-face, but when they turn up at the doorstep they are handcuffed and tossed into the back of a  unmarked van without license plates, which is then driven with its sordid cargo by a black-ops agent to an active volcano and then into it with the driver swapped out for a brick on the accelerator. I hope so, anyway.

As fights go this one is surprising in the depth of its profanity. It's a bit like that story Fisty told about hooking up with that wasted girl at the sailor moon themed bug party, who he thought was Asian but turned out to merely have Down's Syndrome. You're not really surprised it happened, but you are taken aback that he ****** her purely on the back of that discovery.

This isn't UFC material. I don't know who wins. Not the brand, that's for sure--because Mazany vs Young is about as good for PR as it would be for Mars Inc. if somebody found a molar in a snickers bar and it went viral. I'll take Young--mostly because she looks more like Joe Swanson in his wheelchair from family guy than any other human being I have ever seen, and may possibly have strong arms.

Young Dec.

Dawson was at Sanford and I think went to ATT because he took this fight on short notice. Jared is still at Sanford 

Says Dawson is at glory tho, I thought James Krause was his coach in his previous fights 

Take a gander at the instragrams. Per usual Lmaonaise is correct, he shifted over to ATT for this fight. But was at Sanford for a hot minute prior. Lmaonaise gotta be like an MMA reporter under cover lol.

Would it be fair to say Dawson has better striking? I never see him actually not grapple against anyone because he's been levels ahead of all his opponents. Idk I feel like these dudes are just clones of one another, and it's going to be based off who has the more technical striking.

@tieoken lol I wish. Just obsessed with the sport 

Font vs. Vera
Rob Font, DEC
Vera is a chaotic storm, but he can be crippled by people who are just solid. They don't even have to be better than him, just not overwhelmed by the chaos. Font has that, to a lesser degree than Aldo, but he still has that. I expect him to win this fight using a good L-step and solid straight shots. It'll be a rough go at times, particularly if Vera gets him down. But I'm pretty damn confident in Font in this spot.

Collier vs. Arlovski
Jake Collier, DEC
I think Collier gets it done here, not just cause Arlovski is old. Rather because I think unlike the other journeyman that Arlovski has 29-28'd Collier has a higher output and actually spams straight shots and leg kicks. Andrei has been like +/- 15 sig strikes away from losing his last three.

Font vs. Vera
Marlon Vera, DEC
Chito is just an all around better fighter and that sound foundation is going to grind out a decision win. Font def has the striking advantage but i dont think its enough to secure a win.

Romanov vs. Sherman
Alexandr Romanov, TKO, R1
Pad your parley

You're not kidding. If I ever wondered about some local mma event in East Timor I would ask Ayylmaonnaise, he'd probably know everything about it lol.

I think that people think that GM3 is older than he is b/c he always ends up being the dog or only a slight favorite against dudes he should easily beat. GM3 reminds me a little bit of Anthony Smith when it comes to experience and fight IQ. Does he have the ability to win the title? No, but he can beat a majority of the dudes outside of the top 5/6. Have I disrespected him until his last fight? Yes, I did, and I learned my lesson about that. Also, I will be incredibly disappointed if Figgy's brother loses to a dude with only 1 fight in the UFC who is also a fellow Brazilian.

Well get ready to be disappointed because Francisco is legitimately dog **** lol. He’s nothing like his brother.

Solid new avatar lol

Under 2.5 on Mazany-Young is a sweet spot. Also Arlovski by decision 

@gilese my dream job would be an mma reporter/matchmaker or talent scout for the ufc

its def possible

I don’t think I’d get that lucky but one can hope lol
