he has a 47% tdd. Hes been taken down before with ease. I know you want to fade Jailton but is this really the spot? shamil is over the hill and hasn't looked good at all

I think jailton is very good.

But trying to outwrestle guys who have a huge size advantage could lead to trouble. I think he wins here but if he is a -400 or higher favorite then im on the shamil side.

I literally bet him in his first 2 fights(i know i hedged parker r3 and r3). 

At lhw he will do well. But at hw idk

true, I agree HW is stupid af move for him to make but, he has shown he has the power to take down 265lb men (Parker weighed more iirc. pretty sure he cuts to 265) and shamil doesn't even weigh in at the limit. Plus, he cant defend takedowns and at this point jailton could probably chin him on the feet if he does show resistance to takedowns. Plus, you gotta think if hes serious about this HW move up that hes gonna put on 25+ pounds. that would be asinine of him to continue fighting at 224.

Shamil Abdurakhimov vs Jailton Almeida
Jailton Almeida SUB R1
Very weird that Jailton is doing this, he’d destroy most 205ers so I don’t understand the point of fighting heavier guys. Just seems like it would be easier. Idk, either way Shamil is on his way out so I think Jailton is gonna do what he does best. Front kick-double leg-smash-RNC


Trey Ogden vs Daniel Zellhuber
Daniel Zellhuber TKO R2
I like Ogden and his willingness to take challenges. He had a tough ufc debut but he did very well. Here though he’s dealing with a guy who recently beat Lucas Almeida who looks like an outstanding prospect at 145. I think Zellhuber will probably lose the first round but he will come back in the second with good pressure before finishing Ogden. Close fight though


Hannah Cifers vs Melissa Martinez
Melissa Martinez SUB R2
This seems like a layup for Martinez. Hannah “waitress on an oil rig” Cifers has done nothing in the ufc so far so I’m surprised she’s still here. Good on her for keeping on taking these tough fights though

It's either going to be stipe vs Jones or Sterling vs Dillashaw. Whoever fights on this card the other will fight at ufc 280 at the end of September

Nah they can't do both on one ppv if they have 2 ppv's in one month. Theyre running out of ppv headliners

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
Aljamain Sterling, DEC
Aldo should be getting this title shot instead of Dillashaw, especially since on my card he lost to Sandhagen

Jesus Christ hadley is a pullout god. How do you pull out this quick and why would you pull out against such an easy win?

I agree with you that Aldo should get the title shot & that TJ lost to sandhagen but I think TJ wins by being able to defend the takedowns. I think it'll be very close tho. Could be a split decision

Aljamain Sterling vs TJ Dillashaw
TJ Dillashaw TKO R3
I do believe Aldo earned his shot, however I don’t mind this fight. The only path to victory for Sterling is spamming tds like it was against Yan. And even though I thought Yan won that fight Yan made the mistake of panicking on his way up and Sterling took advantage and kept the belt as a result. I think Dillashaw will defend every takedown and eventually tire Sterling until a TKO win presents itself


Victor Altimirano vs Daniel Lacreda
Victor Altimirano TKO R2
Call me crazy but I don’t think Lacreda is ufc caliber just yet. He got finished in both of his first 2 ufc fights and neither fight was particularly close. Victor isn’t amazing but he has good striking so I think he’ll find a finish somewhere in the 2nd round

I think da silva is live in the first round. Victor has absolutely no takedown defense and da silva is aggressive enough he could sub him (wouldn’t hVe to worry about being subbed) in the first. Altamirano has shown horrendous submission defense throughout his career, just hasn’t fought a heavy enough grappler to take advantage of it yet. He likely wins but the first round is iffy af
