Seems bit ******** he won multiple championships in wrestling, taken down some of the biggest heavies.
His striking is improving to well rudimentary but he hits hard and has surprising accuracy and speed.
Tom will win this but it won't be easy and I think anyone betting on it will be very nervous while its going.
Curtis is still worthy of his ranking and a great test for Tom and a good scalp to take obviously.
For the record his takedown stats are better than Kbibs granted against worse wrestlers.

Blaydes is the man but he's absolutely fookin fooked

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 540 Points   |   Tied for 1685th

I'll never forget Blaydes interview after beating Volkov. I think he spoke about 7 actual words and that's not me making fun of is speech impediment. While that surely didn't help, my man was so absolutely gassed that I legimiately thought he might pass out trying to speak during this interview. He was noticeably drenched in sweat and was sucking some serious wind.

It barely took Aspinall 3 and a half minutes to win his fight against the same opponent. 

I of course could look like a dingus here because MMA math doesn't mean anything, but it does to me in this situation after I account for Aspinall's considerable hand speed advantage and above average ground game.

“He doesn’t have great offensive wrestling”

Anyone who replies to that is just accepting being trolled. Nobody seriously thinks the best wrestler heavyweight has seen since Cain/DC doesn’t have great wrestling offense. It’s literally just trolling the waters for a bite.

He's right though - over 6 takedowns per 15 minutes is pretty woeful. Maybe Rodolfo Vieira will corner him and give him some tips on landing blast doubles.

I think Blaydes chin is under rated, He's problem is diving head first into a Lewis Uppercut or getting hit behind the ear by Francis, That not about how good his chin is, Most Heavyweights would get slept by that, I think he need to improve not getting hit bad by hard hitters

The reason why i'm picking Blaydes is because he has the best wrestling in heavyweight history IMO, also has good cardio, And the only time I seen Aspinal fight longer then 3 minutes he gas, Blaydes is a beast, They're a reason why he alway minimum -200 in his fight 

I'm not confident because melting Volkov in under 3 minutes is impressive, I'm just worry what happen if it go into the 2nd, 3rd round, Aspinall could be something special as he a favourite against Blaydes, It should be a good one

I disagree. Blaydes has no chin and protects it with his fighting style.
However, this is always playing with fire. Aspinall knows he's the arsonist
and lays the beast flat on the grill in the first round.

I don't see accurate striking from Blaydes and he's slow.
What he'll do very quickly is just try to get Aspinall down.
But I think Aspinall is just too fast and this will be
the quickest knockout of the night in the last fight on the card.
I can barely wait for it.
