UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Emmett

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

i think this is a good card to make money i feel alot of fights are locks 

Fortune tellers favorite kinds of cards. Easy picks 

Jason Herzog the goat must be stronger than he looks. I'm watching Maria Oliveira vs Kanna Asakura in Rizin and they end up with Asakura in full mount lying torso to torso atop Oliveira close to the ropes of the ring. Herzog stops the action then effortlessley drags them a couple of feet into the ring to prevent them from rolling through the ropes. It looked like he was moving a toddler and not a combined 220 lbs or something lol.

Dude be quiet. And be humble.

I picked chidi and maheshate and you dont see me screaming "i told you so"

I wonder how he did on the Hall v Strickland card lol

fights i think get the bonuses 

adrian yanez vs tony gravely i have yanez all the way but gravely is tough man he could definitely make this a dog fight and we have seen before that yanez can make a comeback he did it against randy costa i see yanez getting a POTN 

damir ismagulov vs guram kutateladze im taking damir i think both are very good fighters and this will be a very close fight but im giving damir the edge in striking and wrestling too I dont think we see a finish here but i do think we see glimpses of one guram is strong and could land a big shot damir could hit some good ground and pound i see this being FOTN

tim means vs kevin holland i think this will be a fun fight for the fans until holland finishes it im interested in this fight because i thought means looked good against perry and id like to see if he can implement that striking against holland i also want to see how holland looks at 170 again cowboy oliveira was a good win but i need to see more to really be sold on a WW holland im hoping to see how his TDD is in this fight i still believe holland gets a ko and a POTN 

Josh emmett vs calvin kattar great matchmaking here two sluggers going at it josh could use his wrestling and take this to the ground and get himself a safe win but when has josh emmett played it safe kattar is gonna have to use his boxing game and slick elbows to win this fight i think this has finish all over it idk who gets it considering josh could land that power shot we seen before and its lights out or kattar can do what he has before blitz up the fighter with his boxing and then land that clean shot to put him out i got kattar winning and taking a POTN 

@jreynolds lol he probably didn’t get a pick right

I have a feeling there’s gonna be a lot of decisions this card. Fights should be great tho

Anyone that follows MMA should have picked Chidi. Dusko's big head and poor defense is the perfect recipe for a KO. Give you Mahesate. I thought Garcia was all around better. Should have saw that a Chinese fighter fighting in China has massive upside. People flying 30+ hours for a fight will more likely than not affect performance. Not saying that is totally the case here but looking back I didn't even factor that tidbit in to play.

Anyone who watched tape knew Maheshate was the right pick tbh 

This card is crazy stacked 

I fell like this next few UFC cards are pretty stacked, I’m worry that these cards are too stacked, and is a detriment to future cards as there only a certain amount of good fights and fighter, like before UFC 275, some of the cards were pretty bad on paper

Like if you put a few fights from UFC 276 and this card on some of them random fight nights, people won’t notice because those cards as so stack, but it would really help the bad fight night 

Kattar vs. Emmett
Calvin Kattar, DEC
I will never pick against Kattar again after his last win his boxing is nice

Cerrone vs. Lauzon
Joe Lauzon, TKO, R1
Damn I dont know who to pick

Means vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, DEC
Everyone is predicting ko/tko but im not sure... Means is tough

Buckley vs. Duraev
Albert Duraev, DEC
Could go either way... I see a split

Ismagulov vs. Kutateladze
Damir Ismagulov, DEC
This is a sick fight

Marquez vs. Rodrigues
Gregory Rodrigues, DEC
Sick fight!

Yanez vs. Kelley
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R2
Yanez is a beast... Kelley is low IQ... Even lower than me

Wells vs. McGee
Jeremiah Wells, DEC
McGee could take a split

Jasudavicius vs. Silva
Jasmine Jasudavicius, DEC
Crazy Lithuanian

Chavez vs. Ramos
Ricardo Ramos, DEC
Ramos trains at TAM now....

Stamann vs. Wineland
Cody Stamann, DEC
Must win for both sadly.....

Donald Cerrone vs Joe Lauzon
Joe Lauzon TKO R1
The battle of the over the hill lightweight legends. I think Lauzon has the killer instinct to get it done, Donald has looked really bad as of late and Lauzon hasn’t looked much better. But at least he won his last fight against a good fighter in JSP. I think Lauzon overwhelms him to an early stoppage win


Damir Ismagulov vs Guram Kutateladze
Guram Kutateladze DEC
Changing my pick here, after watching the Rafael Alves fight that changed my thoughts on this fight. Rafael is good fighter don’t get me wrong but Ismagulov was getting touched up by him on the feet even though he also was having success on the feet. I think Guram will be good enough to defend the tds and I believe he will have the edge on the feet


Phil Hawes vs Deron Winn
Phil Hawes TKO R2
Hawes appears to be the much more well rounded fighter. He will also have a considerable size advantage, both guys have poor cardio so I expect a short fun fight or a sloppy fun fight that goes to a decision

Means vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R3
Holland's 16th fight in 4 years, only dropped 4. This matchup is awesome. Any other card lately this would be a fight of the night candidate. But so many aggressive styles on this card, like 5 or 6 of these could be FOTN.

Kattar vs. Emmett
Josh Emmett, TKO, R1
Hype

Means vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
Holland

Hawes vs. Winn
Phil Hawes, TKO, R1
Every fight on this card is amazing

Thanks for the free laugh teller you and your locks are always funny you still owe me for the Chidi pick you been calling yours.
