@Rah 

How do you not know Ferguson's signature move of throwing sand in his opponents face?

I'm starting to think you don't watch MMA, just here to be pubic lice.

Who has a better chance of winning, Nate or Tony? I say Tony by a country mile. 

I don't see a path for Nate to win outside of subbing Khamzat and that's going to be pretty much impossible. Meanwhile, I think it's very realistic Tony could KO the Leetch. He won't be dealing with a weight cut and will have a reach advantage.

Could he just as easily get knocked out? Absolutely. But I'd give Tony a much better shot of winning than Nate for sure. Now if they both won on Saturday...that would be some ****.

I find it interesting that people thought Tony was going to give Khabib trouble on the ground.... But no one is mentioning him by sub against a guy who's given up his neck a few times and shown to have holes in his grappling.

How live is Erosa? He's won as a pretty big underdog in four of his last five wins. And I picked wrong in each of those.

Dude if you're genuinely saying this stuff you have some huge mental problems. How can you say "ok sorry not gonna be mean'' then start talking **** again....

**** picks? You think this is some kind of competition? This is the most unpredictable sport, what are you on about.

No reply, thumbs down. lol what is this forum even for at this point? Scrolled back a page and now I see I've wandered into a classic week early argument where people are weirdly fired up. As you were!

I think Erosa is very live. He should go for takedowns early and often and try to make use of his 2.5 reach advantage to stay out of danger in striking exchanges.

Getting takedowns? 

Thats a dumb strategy. 


His best chance at winning is creating a brawl and constantly throwing things at Hakeem, and pressuring him.

If he shoots, not only he wont get them but he will get very tired from doing that, hes not used to wrestling a lot in fights

I don't know man. Erosa has a decent chin but his defense is not great. I am not under the impression that Dawodu has a lot of power but I still think Erosa's odds are worse in a brawl. Dawodu is a Muay Thai champion in Canada and Seun Woo Choi, who represented South Korea the Muay Thai World Championships, knocked out Erosa.

Hakeem has better technique, is faster, and has more power.

Erosa has to make it dirty. Brawling and pushing a pace is his best option

Erosa is long too. Gonna be 4 inches taller. Dude's just a professional spoiler. Feels like I'd have no one to blame but myself if I put Dawodu in a parlay.

I think Erosa getting dropped is all about him having his hands low and his chin high and taking too many shots. I don't think his ability to take shots itself is bad.
