Yep Charlie is terrible. I have never seen a fighter as fragile as him. He has no heart either you can find multiple of his regional fights where he gets hit and just gives up. His fight vs veretenikov is hilarious; he got hit with a flurry and ran away trying to give up but the ref didn’t stop it and he got starched unconcious while complaining🤣🤣

@ayy, thanks mate. Would have thought Godinez would be in that list of yours.

I’m pretty confident in godinez but you never know with hill. She will lose fights she should win and win fights she should lose. Plus, she is the significantly better striker than loopy, so I would be a little worried if she offers a lot of resistence to the takedown

Thanks for the research.

Why do you think this is? Is it just a "guts" thing, or is there something wrong with his neck, or something else?

@stu I have no idea tbh. I think it’s a combination of lack of heart and just being fragile. He seems to get badly injured in every fight but at the same time he also doesn’t like to take a lot of damage (maybe because he knows he’s fragile?). Either way, it seems quite odd to me that he doesn’t like to get damaged yet he is a professional fighter lol. He’s taken a shocking amount of damage in his career too. It seems he hurt his neck in that fight, he broke his neck (or something in that area) against Kevin holland, he has a loss where he broke his ribs, another doctors stoppage on the regional scene to Geoff Neal, and he has a DQ win where he got his face stomped and had to be carted off on a stretcher. I think his body is just not made for mma  

Also, if we’re counting, that’s a whopping 8 ko losses in his career (9 if you wanna include the dq win)

Youssef Zalal vs Da'Mon Blacksheer 
Youssef Zalal, DEC
There isn't many notable wins from either man although the UFC experience could be crucial in this match up for Zalal. I do believe that Zalal is more well rounded,  although Blackshear does have the jiu jitsu advantage it wont't be enough here knowing Zalal could basically be fighting for his job in this spot and can't afford to make any silly mistakes. Being the only fighter not to get finished by Ilia Topuria is still very impressive in my opinion, Zalal hasn't had much luck going for him lately but I do believe in this match up he can get the win he finally deserves.

AyyLaMorons locks are Silva, Zalal and Buday.

So make sure y'all bet Meerschaert, Blackshear and Breszski

@rah you should do it, you’d make a lot of money with those odds 


Don’t forget benitez too. You should really place money on ontiveros 😉

Lol and omg this fool Ayy. The actual lock of the card Godinez doesn't even make his list 😂😂😂

Guys that alone should be enough to make y'all stop listening to this self important mma guru. I think Ayy is actually MMA Fortune teller in disguise. LOL

You're just not a good dude. And people on here really don't like you. There's a reason for that. Except Cheeseball but he just likes being on bottom

Lol with a sample size of 40 fights. I don’t even try to be an expert, you just make that assumption because you don’t like me. Remember, you don’t like me because you’re mad I thought gamrot won🤣

@flying just know, I’m not lying when I say this man really dislikes me because I thought gamrot won. He was so happy to hear my input on everything and then come fight nighht, he decides I’m a terrible person all because I didn’t agree with him. Now, all he does I post about me; a guy he doesn’t know and will never meet. I’m just words in a screen and he hates me for it. Quite sad when u think about it. Just look at his posts, a solid 75% of his posts involve me. Dude is obsessed
