I like TJ vs Sterling to end inside the distance if you want to be safer, I think you give TJ enough time on the feet with Sterling, He Ko’s him, Give Sterling enough time on the ground with TJ, He subs him, It be one or the other

A few year ago, TJ had the most finish’s at bantamweight, Chito has the most finishes at battamweight now, but the point still stand that TJ is a finisher

I could see a finish but I think TJ will play it safe on the feet to not risk getting into any grappling exchanges

one of the most casual takes I saw on this site, the one about Gaethje and Chandler


as I said, the disrespect to current top5 is too much

yes I agree, new wave is likely better
yes I agree, top 5 kind of avoid fights with fighters lower in the rankings

but I deny saying that they suck, all of them fought years of high level competition and showed what they are made of, guys like Guram, Mateusz, Damir, Arman, Jalin, Terrance etc. are yet to fight against the best of the best

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R1
Mokaev should never lose this fight in his last fight he fought Johnson who is better than Gordon in every aspect of fighting. Mokaev should be able to take him down quick (or even drop him) then grab the choke pretty quickly after that. All Gordon does is come forward and throw volume that's it I'm not worried for Mokaev at all. Muhammad Mokaev by 1st round SUB

Because all the people who are taking Charles on this or any other prediction site or YouTube are the same guys who are putting money down on islam. If all the Charles fans who say he’s going to win 100% put money on him he’d be a favourite by now or at least a pick em.

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

Muhammad vs. Brady
Belal Muhammad, DEC
After watching them both fight again I think it’s closer than I initially thought, Brady has lesser striking with the clear grappling edge. I still believe Belal will outlast him and win a decision with volume and takedown defense

Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
Abubakar isn’t amazing or anything but he’s more technically sound and the wrestling will be about even, if not a slight advantage for Abubakar. I think he will win a competitive but clear decision

I think Justin can beat Beneil, (If RDA were to stay at 155 I think he could win that one) and maybe Damir. I agree about everyone else though, these guys are getting too good for him

Respectfully though that doesn’t make him a “can”. A can is someone who’s meant to lose and has no chance of doing anything in the sport. Gaethje has already done many great things in the sport. He’d get bested by those killers for sure, but respectfully that does not make him a can
