He also got tkod by 5-4 regional guy.

Erosa is one of my favorite fighters, but this matchup so unfair for him imo

Erosa is live against pretty much any borderline ranked featherweight, which with how deep that division is that's saying something. 

That being said, I could easily see Dawodu knocking him out. Erosa has been through some absolute wars and is closing in on 40 pro fights. Gonna have to do a really deep dive on this one and will probably flip flop back and forth all week.

I don't know if you guys have any clue about the odds of Tony Ferguson to wrestle more than usual. I mean, Leech doesn't have great takedown defense and Tony started as a wrestler bjj, and I would definitely advise him to try that here as he probably won't be able to win in the usual war he had during his prime. Any ideas on that matter?

When's the last time we saw Tony do anything on the ground? Y'all are sort of reaching pretty far back remembering some of those cool D'arce moments. I certainly wouldn't count on that in 2022 against a bigger stronger guy.

Definitely think there's NO way Ferguson pulls this off.

But if he does, it will be in Ferguson fashion; late 2nd or 3rd with devastating elbows from bottom guard while being badly hurt and bleeding. (Or maybe a late round choke aswell.)

We'll always have the memories, but sadly I think if these guys still had the chops to pull off great surprise submissions they'd be doing it during these beatdowns. Fight after fight of them not doing it, it starts to make more sense just to expect the beatdown.

I like Chimaev, Li, and Almeida ITD, need a fourth leg to get the odds somewhere decent. Reed-Martinez goes the distance?

The Bengals on Sunday?

Pretty crazy how Holland is only a inch shorter than both Francis and Gane, and has only 2 inch shorter of reach, and he’s  welterweight, Holland one of the longest fighter in the sport

@Duck It's not that crazy once you realize most fighters heights are exaggerated. Holland was the same height as 6' Vettori.

Tony looks the same as he did at 155lbs, size difference is going to be too much.
