Oh boy it's only thursday. Found myself looking for weigh in streams on youtube and couldn't find it.

Lol... thank you for giving L'Andrew another BIG L to add to his collection. 

Also no need for anyone to do it for him, Bananas just gave himself another L too.

These two clowns are spending their social security cheques on L bets and come here for charity/therapy while pretending to be big rollers. Lol they need their meds but they sold them to lay more losing bets. So now we have to deal with them here.

Btw L'Andrew just took the biggest L yet on here. With the most downvoted post in history. What is it... 15 downvotes and counting? 🤡😆

You all can see why I gave him the name L'Andrew 😂

Lol.. bro I was pretty much the first person on this forum to say Islam was a lock. You can go back and check the posts if you care. I also said we will never get Islam inside the distance at dog odds ever again so to lock it in.

L'Andrew just saw that, stole my pick and pretended he made the pick himself. 

He also laughed at me saying that the over 1.5 in the Mokaev fight was the best value on the card.

These guys are all poor imitators. I am the original. Maybe I can rub people the wrong way but I know my stuff
 Unlike these two fools

Rah is the goat on here 100%. 

bellator locks: justin gonzales, davy gallon

boxing locks: katie taylor, jordan gill + ellie scotney (british matchroom boxers aren't losing a decision in a matchroom boxing event held in england), ashton sylve, lomachenko, troy isley, uriah hall, nico ali, duke ragan

ufc lock: rodriguez

enjoy friends

Andrew, what's this parlay? I'll take you up on it 

Thinking Park can get his first finish (RNC or guillo) but also if he's not careful it's a Yan vs O'Malley situation.............

Park, Jun-yong “The Iron Turtle”

MW 14-5, 4-2 UFC (1 FOTN)

Sturdy boxer/wrestler and lets-let-it-all-hang-out-and-see-who-is-the-better-man fighter.  Fwd pressure wrestling when in doubt, and durable steady boxing.  Gritty vet .  Racks up points and control time and slow rolling overcoming style racks up 10-8 rounds and forces opponents to foul him.  Point gathering fighter with multiple 10-8 rounds in UFC.  Toe to toe style can get him in trouble when he meets resistance . Willing to eat opponents best shot which is concerning but shows fine toughness.  

SFA 6.06 thru 6 fights

(2019) 10-3 Debut vs fluffy Hernandez - opp fwd style left Park short on moments and he closed out R1 getting outboxed as opponent found late range to really pepper him at horn.  R2 opp took a combo and was rocked, collapsed down but found himself and took Park down as Park attempted lackluster , tired strikes . Opp lands another TD with a big slam . Back at range they trade as opp is blending strikes with TDs and has Park down, has his back . They transition as opp has quite a bit of top control and worked to a choke on Park late in round , leaving Park to sadly wave off the fight.  Looked very nice physically here as he was overtaken SF 5.55

(2019) hometown Vs barriault - led opponent into deep waters in a hometown showcase.  Shook off a seriously bad eyepoke and outstruck opp early. R2 incorporated TDs to take the round. R3 up 2-0, mostly avoided but still peppered and damaged opp looking to walk him down and steal the fight.  Dec win. SF 6

(2020) vs phillips as moderate fav - going the khamzat route here immediately grappling opponent and working him hard on the ground . 44-0 striking as park has copied that blueprint . Couldn’t much threaten a submission as he peppered opp with thudding strikes , out of ideas at the horn in 10-8 round. R2 wrestling double leg into a big uppercut but he’s got opp down again on the back. Repeated thudding short strikes from Park as opp has no options but also - - Park looks rather incapable of finding finishes .  Landed 9 strike gnp combo , ridiculous thudding meat beating strikes have the opponent really pissed but stuck.  Park is cut from one up elbow  at the horn in another 10-8 round.    R3 avoids opp big power and grabs a leg for easy TD.  Set MW groundstrike record by a mile.  Opp goes all out to get up but it’s stuffed, he’s getting brutalized in a terrible day at the office .  Dec win for Park , opp released.30-25 win  SF 6.65

(2021) vs Nchukwi - toe to toe early with similar bodied kickboxing opponent.  Working a jab and welcoming opp striking.  Double the head strikes as he takes a hard foul to the groin.  Leading strikes to horn but definitely coasted late.  R2 opp has not much an answer for the jab but he’s starting to gain some ground until a leg kick is caught and Park initiated grapple with a head lock as he takes a bad foul that cost opp a point . Back to action, Park’s striking has been on a slow decline and he takes a quick eyepoke and inside strike, forcing a TD but opp swept it and is trying to maintain top control but park is up.  Opp is fairing better now and is actually leading in striking as Park has stuck to the jab and not brought a whole lot else.  Park with an ill advised guillotine without much time at the horn.  Fairly tired on stool. R3 he’s overtaken opp with an early TD and is racking up round control.  Opp is up and tripped back down as Park is hitting the home stretch.  Landed a RNC that opp turned out of, he really struggles to lock in subs on thick MW’s.  Park worked to full mount late in clear dec win, cut opp late   SF 6

Judge Tony Weeks scored this as 28-28 and was hopefully reprimanded for that ridiculous call. Park does let opponents hang in there too much with him as he slowly presses through them but this was an atrocity in MMA judging.  

(2021) vs G. Rodrigues.  Went toe to toe with dangerous opponent who had a bit of a grappling and striking advantage over him.  A fine effort where he rebounded coming off the stool in R2 after looking outmatched to really force a fight . Went all out to ko opponent and took him to the limits of that but the levy broke and Park took strikes that sent him downhill into a standing ko loss against the fence . SF 6.05 FOTN

(2022) vs anders at -205 . taking on the biggest body he’s faced in the UFC thus far, they are in an early feeling out where Park has a headlock as they jock for position.  Park landed a light foul to lose position . More position jocking as these two similar fighters try to find a leg up on one another.  Opp is doing a lot of fence press with brief strike attempts but Park is back at space and lands a combo that caused opponent to stop and intake , now back to the head lock position . Opp with late TD as Park went for guillo but they pop up and fire hard at one another in mirrored round.  R2 opp has an early double leg TD but Park is up quickly .  Park is confidently looking to land but he eats some pretty big strikes here and has to reset as he’s pressed against the fence again.  Park will briefly land then opp strikes-to-press, Park exits and repeat.  Park eats a hard foul and went down, he’s gotta be UFC’s most fouled fighter.  It’s been a brooding pace and opp is bleeding from the cheek as Park is his usual self.  Park with a slick combo has landed near 70% of his strikes as he’s pressed again after a spin elbow attempt . Park is taken down late but scrambled to top in high paced heavy moving round . R3 Park made a statement early taking the lead with strikes as he gets out a fence press . He’s pressing fwd with boxing and opp is looking labored, fence pressing to avoid pressure . Toe to toe time as Park eats strikes and waves him in.  Park has stood his ground in this fight and leads in striking including a last second charge at horn.  A very solid, no hype building win here. 29-28 split dec win SF 6.15

Park looks to have plateaued in his climb up the MW ladder but when he looks down below, there are many wins available to rack up.  He’s narrowly avoided a judging robbery with his style and will need to improve this aspect of his game.  

Yes to both.

Gore is live for ko win. Josh Fremd has been put down a couple of times in lfa

Garcia has all the tools to win(as long as he makes weight)

this is what i was thinking i know gore sucks but fremd looked like he leaves his chin open and the one thing gore has is a heavy punch and steve garcia has 100% tdd and if he keeps it standing i agree he wins just make the weight thanks for the opinion again bro

Holmes, Joseph “Ugly Man Joe”

MW 8-2, 1-1 UFC

DWCS5 win

(2022) debut vs Pickett loss -$

(2022) apex vs long layoff Amedovski -200 . Small cage looks to have him at disadvantage early as he’s scaling the fence. Brings a hard knee up the middle that dropped opponent who popped up trying to recover but he got RNC’d.  SF 6.6

To be fair, Josh Frimd only got knockout by Robocop so no shame their, All his other lose has been by decsion, It's not that Frimd chinny, It more Robocop
