Belal has a 91% takedown defence, You have to respect that number no matter the context, But the context for Belal one is that stuffing 20 of 21 of Demain Maia takedown really inflated the number, What stock do you give Belal for Stuffing  45 year old Maia's takedown????, He is fighting a 29 year old welterweight who in his prime, Beat Craig Jones in BJJ, And Felder and Chiesa called really strong

I'm pretty much certain Brady will get a takedown or two, It's more of a question if he can control him or getting multiple takedown, You rarely win a fight with one takedown or 2

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 1764th

Oliveira vs. Makhachev
Islam Makhachev, DEC
i do not want this to happen, but i always have to trust my brain over my gut

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
Aljamain Sterling, DEC
aljo has been more active and has had more finishes across the past 3 years

Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
nobody has tested sean in grappling, i think yan gets him down and gnps him

Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, SUB, R2
in the past two years, dariush has only fought washed tony and somewhat washed diego fereirra (which was a split dec). He is not the top 5 talent the UFC rankings want you to believe he is. Gamrot will speed past dariush

Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, SUB, R3
fiorot could be champ

Muhammad vs. Brady
Sean Brady, SUB, R3
sean beats him everywhere.

Tukhugov vs. Almeida
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
smesh

Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
borralho trains with killers

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R1
not a hard pick. smesh.

Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, DEC
should be entertaining

Petrosyan vs. Dobson
Armen Petrosyan, TKO, R1
petrosyans contender series fight was very good

Abdurakhimov vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
almeida is such a badass. he could be champ at heavyweight or 205

I don't believe there is such a thing as a "lock" but if you were to pick the locks of the card they would be Almieda and Mokaev


The thing with Sean is that he's looked great, against opponents who are not that great. Some of that wasn't his fault but KOing Thomas Almeida and TKOing Kris Moutinho and not a higher thought of opponent is probably why he's a big underdog. Especially because his fight with Pedro was so shaky, also like the man said above Petr Yan is Petr Yan

Belal is gonna get the same treatment not necessarily just cause he is "boring" but the man is on 8 victories in a row, facing someone who is not gonna get him that title shot. They are gonna give him similar treatment to that of Leon Edwards, I believe.

What do you guys think of Petrosyan v. Dobson?
I have really been interested in Dobson as a near +200 dog. Just never been sold on Petrosyan yet, think he's very one dimensional and AJ could have multiple paths to victory with the wrestling and BJJ. AJ fought last fight with a bum MCL and finally got the surgery after, and think he learned quite a bit from that awful stylistic matchup vs. Malkoun. Malkoun certain has come back to look good too, nearly beating Brendan Allen, who's also since come back impressive.

The reason why Yan is such a big favourite because he's the 2nd best batamweight on the planet and has an argument for being the best, I'm going to be harsh, But O'Malley haven't accomplished much, He's most impresive win is Paiva, And tons of people have beaten Paiva, Also, O'Malley got knock out by Chito and lots of people had him losing to Munhoz before the foul happen, I don't think O'Malley is anywhere near Yan level

I think if Yan didn't foul Sterling, He be the 3rd or 4th on the pound 4 pound ranking
