Contender Series 2022: Week 10

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

OMG the teller is back! hi MMAFORTUNETELLER!!!

Changed my pick. You donkeys don't do enough research. Now picking Cenci over that beanpole Patterson 

How much tape did you saw ?

More than you flea brain

Nickal vs. Beard
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
The hype is real.

Patterson vs. Cenci
Vinicius Cenci, TKO, R1
Very live dog here. Serve the chin & people will eat it up, kid.

Ramos Estevam vs. Elias
João Elias, TKO, R1
Less confident in this dog, but Ramos is too aggressive with his striking and it negates his reach & technical advantages here. Joao can crack and might even be a better grappler.

Ajim vs. Mendonça
Mateus Mendonça, TKO, R2
This will be a scrap early, and then Ajim will gas & get TKO'd.

If you want to go above the  65% ... just let me know... !?

How about Cenci fighting in Gladiator Challenge and having his record flagged by tapology for record padding? lmfao.

You are changing your pick based on what people on Tapology are doing?  That is the most casual MMA fan move ever.  At least you're entertaining lol.  I will give you that.

The record flagging is understandable. Just makes some peoples page look bad. Mokaevs is flagged too cause of the Hayden Sherriff fight. 

We are trying to figure out the best way to do flagging of records and problematic bouts. We will probably be tweaking it a little bit more over time.

@thepro lol I always fade gladiator challenge fighters. Seeing that match made me happy 

TheProIsHipHop  no way brother. I could care less what people on here say because the majority are idiots. How do the bookies get rich? Well here's a nice sample of people to explain that. Everyone on Tapology is the opposite, they are all on Patterson's nuts. Just because he is tall. And because Cenci fought in Gladiator Challenge for one fight which AyyLame thinks is no good. What they don't realise, 

1. Cenci is almost as tall as Patterson and has much better grappling 

2. Patterson's striking defence is god awful

3. Cenci has not fought for a few years. I guarantee he has improved 

4. Look at who Cenci is training with. I rest my case.

These fools on here just listen to some idiot talking crap on here and just blindly follow their picks. Which is why the picks on Tapology are almost always wrong. Fools don't do their own  research. But that's why we get great odds on someone like Cenci. Because of all the dumbasses on here. Could Patterson win? Of course, he is a good striker with good straight shots. Could he lose? Most definitely, in fact I am going to say likely.  So no, not a casual move. I don't follow like sheep like most on here. 

Don't know why I am explaining myself, maybe because I like you. But bottom line, the value is on Cenci so let everyone on here pick Patterson and I will make bank

As for Cenci's Gladiator fight. He won. Did any of you guys actually question why he took a fight against a can in a questionable promotion? Hmmm? Of course not. Everyone just wants to listen to Tapology Gianni talk about how Gladiator Challenge is no good. The same guy who rates Cage Warriors as one of the best promotions outside of the UFC. LOL.

It's pretty obvious if you know what you are looking for. 

Why do you care so much? I’m just fading a guy because I don’t trust people from that promotion. I’m not even telling anyone to side with patterson, I’m literally just voicing my opinion. Also, you’re just being a hypocrite being condescending to everyone so they can join your side

Why do I care so much? Because your facts are flawed
 And you come on here talking your nonsense and mislead everyone. You are talking like Cenci grew up in Gladiator Challenge and had his whole career there. He had one fight there amd destroyed his opponent. Obviously his first fight back after a long break and wanted the easy W. And I guarantee that the UFC already told him get 1 win and you're in. That's why he took the fight in that promotion. 

Fade Gladiator Challenge my ass. You don't know what you are talking about.

Waiting for CheesyBalls to appear....

How am I misleading everyone by offering my own opinion? I didn’t say “oh pick this guy because his opponent fought in gladiator challenge” I literally just said I always fade gladiator challenge fighters. You’re probably right they told him fight there once but I’m still not gonna pick him. 

You get so upset over nothing it’s just a pick on a site 

Damn last full DWCS of the year, so sad
