Yeah no, Ismagulov clearly won 2 to 1 and Arman won 3 to 2, but that fight was closer than the Guram one

Lmao that's a step DOWN in competition. Didn't Gordon pull out against Nascimento next week? You would think Allan would be the one fighting Mokaev, and tbh I think he beats him

He did and no way, nascimento would get ****d by mokaev; he plays off his back too much

People said the same thing about Hadley and look what happened. Nascimento's a big ass dude, I think he could honestly push Mokaev to the limit. He went to split deicision with Tagir Ulanbekov on short notice and outwrestled Jake Hadley, he has more of a chance than you think

Nah, I thought hadley was gonna win but looking back at it that was a pretty easy spot for nascimento. He’s good but mokaev would beat him. Johnson is one of the toughest matchups for mokaev there is and he cruised with ease; he won’t lose until he fights a top dog

Just out of curiosity, why exactly do you think Johnson was Mokaevs kryptonite? He’s a decent grappler but it’s not really his forte, I’d think someone who can stuff takedowns and strike really good would be Mokaevs worst matchup. Johnson has gotten taken down by way lesser opponents, and while he is a good striker, he’s nowhere near the best in the division. There’s guys in this division that have significantly better grappling, AND better striking as well. Obviously near the top but still, I’m sure there’s someone unranked who’s a worse matchup than him

His cardio and striking is insane. You saw his get up game too; he did get held but it was very difficult to take him down and control him. He’s also one of the biggest flyweights on the roster which makes it very difficult for others to take him down. It sounds false because he made it so easy but that’s just how good mokaev is. Johnson is a very good figbter and was a terrible matchup and he passed it

Okay new lock... thank you Sean Shelby... Mokaev will 99.9 percent win this fight and more than likely by a finish.

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 540 Points   |   Tied for 931st

Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
If Chookagian wins I’ll be impressed. Manon should use her wider array of striking to out point the point fighter. Maybe even finish her

Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, SUB, R1
Makhmud got exposed hard in his last fight as a really good striker with suspect cardio and takedown defense against really good grapplers. Caio is in that tier of not only a good grappler, but also a powerful wrestler with his takedowns. Along with some slick striking when he let’s it go

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R1
I think Gordon is a good fighter, he’s got a good ground game and he can keep up a good pace. Mokaev is gonna eat him alive though

How many more fights do y’all think they’re gonna add to this already stacked card? I’m honestly thinking of buying this card if everything stays intact.

I hope they add 5 more to make it a 15 fight super card. Then I wouldn’t even mind buying it

Is this card stays exactly how it is (or if it improves obviously), no fights falling through, I will 100% buy it. On the other hand I wouldn't buy UFC 279 if you gave me free money to do it

Eh. They lag and the quality is terrible. I used to like them but after the dip**** streaming site made me miss the Moreno liver kick KO I won't ever trust them for a big card I love like this. Most of the time I will still stream though
