Bellator 279: Cyborg vs. Blencowe 2

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Cyborg vs. Blencowe II
Cris Cyborg, TKO, R2
Annnd right after I give them credit for good matchmaking, we get this. At least she’s not fighting kavanaugh for the second time LOL.

Archuleta vs. Stots
Raufeon Stots, DEC
Have to applaud Bellator with this matchmaking. Both guys are really good

Horiguchi vs. Mix
Kyoji Horiguchi, DEC
Love patchy but he’s biting off more than he can chew here. I think kyoji is a step ahead of everyone in the tournament except maybe magomedov or stots

Macfarlane vs. Kish
Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, DEC
Jesus this is such bad matchmaking. Kish wasn’t even good when she was in the ufc but surely she should fare well fighting the former champ! The fact that she lost her Bellator debut makes this even funnier

Kamaka III vs. Gonzales
Justin Gonzales, DEC
I already made my rant but I cannot believe the odds are this close. J train is much more skilled and I really don’t rate kai at all

Yamauchi vs. Chokheli
Goiti Yamauchi, SUB, R2
Ez sub for yamauchi. Chokhelis kryptonite is grapplers

Medeiros vs. Sanchez
Emmanuel Sanchez, DEC
Medieros is just not that good sorry guys

Diggs vs. King
Keoni Diggs, DEC
I’m still mad I didn’t pick Bobby king for his last fight. Now, I’m just going to fade him out of spite

Harding vs. Silva
Dayana Silva, DEC
Silva has a bad record but is losing to better fighters, however, she is gonna be smaller which I don’t like. Janay Harding has a bad record fighting bad fighters tho

Dela Cruz vs. Winski
Jordan Winski, DEC
It pains me to side with a gladiator challenge fighter but he’s actually beaten some decent names. Dela Cruz is also pretty terrible

Inaba vs. Pyles
Sumiko Inaba, TKO, R1
Sumiko is soooo hot

Stots is a problem.  He is one spinning back fist away from being a real intriguing story in MMA nationally.

Merab the 🐐 prevented stots from going to the ufc 😔. Both should have been signed 

I can't express this enough... She is going to get killed.  She should not be in this fight after the war she was in last month.  This is a no brainer parlay piece for Inaba.

Harding vs. Silva
Janay Harding, DEC
O ok old sounds of probably

i got Inaba, Macfarlane and Stots in a parlay (+105)

Inaba is in her home state vs. a showcase opponent. 


Justine Kish??? ****** Bellator 


Stots has looked amazing, dominating opponents on the mat.  And i thought Archuleta looked bad vs. Sergio Pettis

Chances Mix can catch Horiguchi in a sub?

Yancy (+260)
Kai K(-105)
UFC level fighters fighting in Bellator.  Yancy used to fight at heavy.  Sanchez is a 145er.  A parlay is (+603) The
Throw the Grizzlies in there for >10:1

Archuleta vs. Stots
Raufeon Stots, DEC
Lfg!

Horiguchi vs. Mix
Kyoji Horiguchi, DEC
I've got Horiguchi but Patchy could pull an upset off here. He's very very good, but Kyoji will be a step ahead.

Kamaka III vs. Gonzales
Justin Gonzales, DEC
Close fight, but Gonzales is slightly better imo

Cyborg vs. Blencowe II
Cris Cyborg, TKO, R1
I really wish Kayla Harrison would fight Cyborg so I can wonder what's going to happen instead of just trying to pick round/method.

Archuleta vs. Stots
Raufeon Stots, DEC
I really want to see Stots vs Pettis

Macfarlane vs. Kish
Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, DEC
This matchup is very bellator

Medeiros vs. Sanchez
Emmanuel Sanchez, DEC
Glad to see Medeiros getting paid over here

UFC & BELLATOR, SAME NITE, TRANNY FITE!


I'M JUST SAYIN GAY, OK! 


THE TOP MATCHES TONIGHT HAVE GONE WOKE & SUCCUMBED TO THE BRAINWASHING TRANSGENDER AGENDA! WE KNOW THAT THESE “WOMEN” ARE NOT TRANS, BUT IT IS AS CLOSE AS CAN BE ON FULL DISPLAY! I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT CYBORG TESTOSTERONE LEVEL COULD RIVAL JOE ROGAN'S! AND JOE HAS ADMITTED TO BEING ON TEST REPLACEMENT THERAPY CURRENTLY! CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF BELLATOR EVEN CHECKS FOR ANY ENHANCEMENT SUBSTANCES?  ALL I'M SAYIN IS THE MAIN CARD HEADLINE EVENT HAS TWO "WOMEN" WHOSE COMBINED AGE IS OVER 80 YEARS OLD!!  THAT IS NOT NORMAL NOR NATURAL!!

Cyborg vs. Blencowe II
Cris Cyborg, SUB, R3
I don't see why Cris can't find the neck again....

Archuleta vs. Stots
Raufeon Stots, DEC
Liking Stots here.

Horiguchi vs. Mix
Patchy Mix, SUB, R3
Mix could find a sub.....

Macfarlane vs. Kish
Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, DEC
Ilima is back.

Gibson Jr. vs. Dung
Lance Gibson Jr., DEC
Gimme Lance.

Kamaka III vs. Gonzales
Justin Gonzales, DEC
Gimme Gonzales.

Yamauchi vs. Chokheli
Goiti Yamauchi, SUB, R3
Perhaps Yamauchi has a late sub in his pocket...?

Medeiros vs. Sanchez
Emmanuel Sanchez, DEC
Sanchez gets back on track.

Diggs vs. King
Keoni Diggs, DEC
Gimme Diggs.

Field vs. Miller
Randi Field, DEC
Gimme Field.

Harding vs. Silva
Janay Harding, DEC
Gimme Harding.

Dela Cruz vs. Winski

Gimme Winski.

Inaba vs. Pyles
Sumiko Inaba, TKO, R2
Gimme Inaba to finish.

#Bellator279 predictions, strong card for Bellator with lots of elite names throughout.

Winski is a lock for me he has a well rounded game with his best tools being from his BJJ especially the armbars, facing an older opponent in Ryan Dela Cruz (37) who has not faced the best competition whatsoever especially his wins are no where near on the levels of Winski's.- Winski via 1st round submission (armbar)

Inaba is a really solid prospect in the women's flyweight decision, well rounded but with high level grappling and likes to finish I expect she'll get another finish tonight- Inaba via 1st round submission (arm triangle)

Sanchez vs Medeiros should be an exciting scrap, I expect Sanchez to get the decision in a fairly competitive bout where Sanchez just edges it with the volume and more effective strikes and grappling exchanges.

Mix vs Horiguchi is an elite fight, Horiguchi was winning against champion Sergio Pettis until that incredible comeback KO. Horiguchi is so technically sound and well rounded I see Mix having some initial success but fading as the 5 round fight goes on- Horiguchi via decision.

Macfarlane is back after her loss and facing Kish, should be a fairly one sided bout that said Kish can definitely presents problems if she shows up game and I can see Macfarlane giving up positions looking for subs that said I still favour Macfarlane to win she is the better grappler and has improving striking- Macfarlane via 2nd round submission (armbar)

Cyborg vs Blencowe II, rematch Cyborg dominated last time and I expect the same this time. Cyborg is just better anywhere this fight goes and she seems hungry still- Cyborg via 2nd round tko (punches)
#Bellator

Gibson Jr. vs. Dung
I am going with Lance Gibson Jr. at -900. He has an oppulent mentality. Gibson Jr. won't elevate the TV audience.

Medeiros vs. Sanchez
I take Emmanuel Sanchez at -350. He has a xerophthalmic inverted atomic drop. Sanchez could quarantine the deed.

Diggs vs. King
I select Keoni Diggs at -225. He has a xerophthalmic axe kick. Diggs shall balance the opposition.

Archuleta vs. Stots
I am enamored with Raufeon Stots at -275. He has an oppulent stamina. Stots will likely rattle the foe.

Macfarlane vs. Kish
I embrace Ilima-Lei Macfarlane at -365. She has a xenotropic elevator hook sweep. Macfarlane must violate the previous pitfalls.

Dela Cruz vs. Winski
I elect Jordan Winski at -330. He has a jarring high kick. Winski shall attempt the foe.

Inaba vs. Pyles
I choose Sumiko Inaba at -550. She has an eccentric mentality and a xenophobic overhead chop and also a kinky clinch. Inaba can weaken the chosen one.

Harding vs. Silva
I fancy Janay Harding at -135. She has an exotic guillotine and a homemade elevator hook sweep. Harding should unsettle the cycle.

Field vs. Miller
I like Randi Field at -230. She has a macabre inverted facelock. Field can bully the rival.

Yamauchi vs. Chokheli
I am sniffing Goiti Yamauchi at -220. He has an automatic crucifix. Yamauchi shall leverage the dark horse.

Cyborg vs. Blencowe II
I take Cris Cyborg at -1000. She has a faux stamina. Cyborg won't manipulate the feat.

Horiguchi vs. Mix
I take Kyoji Horiguchi at -240. He has an oppulent fallaway moonsault slam and a hedonistic mounted elbow drop. Horiguchi is about to seize the cycle.

F***, MISSED THE DEADLINE for picks I hate this multiple show ****!!!
