I think he could take down Maximov, especially against the cage, but the way Maximov reverses position and scrambles is pretty impressive

True, I wonder how the resistance to the takedown and scrambling will affect malkoun. So far he’s only fought guys who can’t wrestle or don’t have good tdd. His gas tank is probably gonna fade quicker than normal in this one

I wouldn't call Rovyal a bad grappler, Rovyal has great jiu-jitsu, But bad wrestling, The problem with having great jiu-jitsu but bad wresling is that all it takes is someone to not get submetted and kept taking you down and they're win

Also, Askarov should go to batamweight at this point, But why would you go from the shallow division to the deepest division in the UFC

Maybe it's splitting hairs, but I think of "grappling" as a broader, more all encompassing term for a skillset than just BJJ. If someone has really good jiu jitsu but can't get their own takedowns or create their own offense with it, I would be specific and say they have really good jiu jitsu. Not grappling. 

Someone like Ryan Hall has good jiu jitsu. But a great grappler can create their own moments, not rely on mistakes and opportunities.

Askarov needs to go up a weight class, I was so looking forward to that fight, was hardcore rooting for Royval.

But I am really excited for J. Martinez he is my absolute favorite, last week I actually got to talk to him for a second time on Snapchat, he is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met.

You are right 100%. That's the correct use of grappling. Wrestling and submission skills. But just as Askarov has better wrestling his submission skills don't seem to be very good. So he is more of just a wrestler to me with an occasional RNC. Similarly Royval has much less Wrestling skills but his scrambling and submissions are really good. I guess it depends on what you favour more when pick who is the better grappler, but I still think it's Royval

Ashcan is a notorious weight misser but has quite a few subs he fits the grappler archetype.
They are either explosive or weight bullies or both he does not look much over 125 he holds water or has diet problems.

Possibilities here...$$

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 375 Points   |   Tied for 3127th

So, I've seen it time and time again as a bettor in MMA and specifically in the UFC.

There is a HUGE possibility that Mike Jackson somehow wins tomorrow. There's no way the UFC puts this fight as the first fight of the night (again), KNOWING that everyone is going to bet and take anyone fighting against Mike Jackson (again). 

I smell some fishy ****, if I was any of you out there, I'd throw a bone @ Mike Jackson's way for ****s...
