Once Vera gets a beat on Cruz and starts landing it's going to start looking ugly, Vera by career ending leg kick ko.

The above title is what everyone got from one of my posts from the last page. 

That is quite literally not what I said, but I'm also not about to give a lecture on reading body language to Tapology, so carry on I guess.

I don't like roid bag Quinlan after all the **** that has happened, but last time I picked Witt I was trash talking the whole forum how I knew he'd beat Rowe and then his DUMBASSSS walked into every punch and got KO'd after whopping Rowe's ass for that round 1.

Possibly, yes. I think if Chito beats Cruz he could get a title shot. 

If he FINISHES Dom Cruz, I'm genuinely asking how he's not the current #1, contender? 

Dillashaw got a title shot off of barely beating Sandhagen. This will be Chitos TENTH FIGHT since Dillashaw got suspended. If he wins he will be 8-2 with either 5 or 6 finishes in like a 3 year time frame.

It's really not that crazy when you think about it. BW is set up right now to possibly be really shaken up. Can you imagine if Chito, Merab and OMalley all win their fights? The rankings would totally change.

The whole body language analysis is not really worth reading into much anyway. Dominick's body language or demeanor won't help him when his forehead is split open and his legs are being chopped. When Dustin fought Conor the second time, everyone said he looked like a sad puppy and Conor would smoke him again, look what happened.

 And don't try to pretend you have some deep understanding of body language that us regular folk wouldn't understand. Once you start getting into this territory of tape study, you are overthinking the fight.

Jump on "The Train" before departure. Landwehr is a live dog!(+250) Onama is not a good nail. I see Landwehr grinding him down,  staying active & controlling clinch positions and eventually breaking Onama down exactly like he did Ludavic Klein

I've "pretended" to know nothing. I never said I was an expert and basically said Dom seems prepared as he always is. Nobody ever said you can determine who wins a fight through watching body language during a 6 minute staged conversation. 

I didn't even share the clip. I was just commenting on what I saw. I'm not "overthinking" anything. I appreciate the concern, but I'm good.

Yeah Buday is an absolute unit. His fight with Barnett was ****** up. I mean I know a lot of heavyweights look giant against Barnett but that fight was still hard to watch. 

Brzeski just seems like an absolute can.

@foppa yeah brzeski is horrible. Bad skills and horrendously bad gas tank. He should be at lhw anyways but he probably knows his gas tank is so bad that the weight cut would kill him. Buday is a freaking GIANT. Especially compared to brzeski.
