You know what would be cool? If the grappling cancelled out and we just get a bloody kickboxing match with knock downs on both sides.  
It can happen, these guys aren't known for Holloway level chins.

While that would be cool it wouldn't be a bloody kickboxing match. If it stays standing Charles will win fairly easily. Islam isn't on the level of him striking wise, but even if he was, his style isn't a brawling one at all. It's a tip tap with shots to set up takedowns and avoid getting hit style

You’re probably right. That’s why I don’t want a grappling match. Cause Islam is a sorta boring lockdown wrestler, where Khabib was a ground and pound mauler and Chucky is a dynamic submission grappler.

I flip flop on the two title fight, Gamrot vs Benny, and Chook vs Fiorot, also i've been on Belal the whole time, but not confident, That how you know it a intersting main card when it really debatable on the matchup, Also has the variety of someone getting melted in Yan vs O'Malley for easy violence points

NGL, Haven't put much thought pass the main 6 fights,But looking at it now a few other bouts does jump out at me

By whatever he wants how?

You can't land a left hook while you are on your back, also you can't front kick a person, who is laying on you like heavy blanket. And this is not Kevin lee who could do it. Islam is much more physically stronger and has his own Abdulmanap technique to hold you there.


You can't triangle him, because your legs are trapped.

So how do you see Oliveira finishing Islam? By guilotine? :)

I have nothing to do with Dagestan or religion. Maybe a little bit trolling. Just I don't like spammers.

i love how you all are so confident about who's gonna win  the main event, but you guys also need to understand that one of them will lose.

like duck said this is 50/50 fight. okay could be 45/55 to one or another side, but still.


and these users who want to bet money on fights like this - jeez. like there's no other fights in the card or in general where risking your money is much safer.

This fight is not even close to 50/50 though. Charles is going to submit Islam from his back? Mmmkay.

Petrosyan vs. Dobson
Armen Petrosyan, DEC
Armen Dec, way more technical and advanced on the feet, better competition so far in his career, beating Gregory Rodrigues (I thought he clearly did) and dropping one to Caio Borralho who is a great prospect at 185, Dobson is good but he was one way to win and it's through his wrestling which I don't think he'll be able to get going, plus he got out muscled by a small 185er, whereas Armen is big and strong for 185
