UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Holland

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Hermansson vs. Dolidze
Jack Hermansson, DEC
Not an easy replacement for Hermansson. Real warrior to accepts this tough short notice fights against dangerous unranked fighters like Curtis and Dolidze.

I thought when I joined Tapology that I would be the most ******** person on here.

Then I met Tartara, and L'Andrew, and Bananas, and WasteToiletWanderer, and Hippie.

I now know there are others out there with a couple of extra chromosomes 

And how could I forget Duck.

Hermansson vs. Dolidze
Jack Hermansson, DEC
I've honestly got no idea who wins this, both have improved markedly in their last couple fights.

Yeah, gotcha. I didn't really understand your first comment.

Holland has the tools to beat a great striker like Wonderboy, but I'm not so sure that he'll wrestle in this one... He should though. 

Maybe, they'll strike in the first 3 and Holland will try to take Wonderboy in the 4th. I'll predict a sub for him.

rah why do you keep insulting me?

honestly, I see a lot in common between you and me little guy

first of all, we share your mom - she is your mother and she is my side chick, how is that not enough to form an unbreakable bond between us?

secondly, we share the same amount of digits on our bank accounts, both 9 digit numbers except yours has a tiny minus sign infront, not a huge difference

and lastly, we both like to lie and pretend - you pretend you're making money off of your ****** over 1.5 bets while having never posted any proof in your life and I pretend I'm an asocial nerd who actually watches mma all day long but in reality I'm a multi millionaire playboy that jumps from jet to jet and country to country with like 10 bad ******* on my side at all times and almost never watch MMA, this **** just comes naturally to me

so please, during these merry times coming up, be nicer to your daddy aka ME, the king, the boss, the don.

There is medicine for that you know. You don't have to suffer

facts, the medicine i'm on is strictly adderall and also microdosing cocaine to be able to keep up with how much money i'm making

my networth should be classified as GDP from now on, I could buy a whole ******* nation with how much bread I'm raking in

don't test me or I'll buy you and your shed 100 times over lil bum

Also really nice to know about the 9 digit bank account. Shame all the digits are "0" 

Just like you 

Guys, seriously, I always crack up with your interactions here lmfao 

At first, I thought you guys were just here to troll, but after some time I understood that you really know a lot about MMA. I'm always learning from your comments. Thanks, mates !

And your net worth is GDP all right.

Getting DP'd. By the bookies.

Lol I appreciate you too mate

TODAY'S DATE: November 27th 2022


Dear Santa,

My name is Baremaras and I am 24 years old. I live in the country of Monaco. I've been trying my best to be a good person for the last year. I'm hoping and praying I'm on your NICE list again this year! Some of the wonderful things I have done to be a good boy are:

1. make a **** ton of money
2. make a **** ton of money
3. make a **** ton of money
4. make a **** ton of money
5. make even more money

I have a few special Holiday wishes for you. They are the following:

1. Please rid the world from all negative energy, hatred and jealousy. Specifically referring to Rah and Andrew on the tapology.com website. Why do they hate me? Is it my fault I'm filthy rich? Is it my fault I'm a 6'4 ft tall 220 pounds freak of nature with muscle on every single part of my body? Please, do something about this negativity and jealousy they're throwing at me. Please.

2. Please, bless me to continue making even more money than I have in the past year. I know I've broken records and I know greediness is a bad thing, but I simply can not stop. I need to make more money. I need to own my own private island. I need to own my own skysc****r in the middle of New York City. I need to own 10 private jets and 5 luxury super yachts. I need to own every single rare art collectible that exists. I need to own every single bust down diamond watch and chain that exists in this god forsaken place that we call Earth. With your blessing, I vow to continue breaking money-making records and making myself richer and richer every single day.

3. Please, help every single tapology member not to fall for this facade and mockery that goes by the name of Rah. PLEASE, PLEASE do not let anyone fall for their ****** parlays and bets. They do not deserve to lose money because of Rah's irresponsibility and carelessness. I'm begging you, please guide them to avoid that loser.

Those are my wishes, Santa! I'm so excited for you to visit and hopefully bless me once again. Please, on my behalf, give my favorite reindeer Rudolf a big huge hug! See ya!

It's called Prozac

prozac these nuts on your face bum

Thompson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, SUB, R2
I think we'll see a fun striking match early, but Holland will end up dropping Wonder Boy and submitting him. I'm really gonna hate seeing either guy lose here though.

dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
I hope this is the war we all want it to be. I think RDA should take it fairly easily though.

Nicolau vs. Schnell
Matt Schnell, DEC
Schnell is such a dog. This is a homer pick for me after his last fight, but I do truly think Schnell can beat Nicolau and I hope he does.

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
I've never not picked Tai via R1 KO, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Hermansson vs. Dolidze
Jack Hermansson, DEC
Huge step up for Roman on short notice, but I think he'll fall short. Jack put on a hell of a performance last time out against Chris Curtis and I think we'll see that Jack against Roman.

Anders vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, DEC
Why is this even on the main card? Daukaus should win a decision fairly easily, but who even cares.

Price vs. Rowe
Niko Price, DEC
This is a super close one. I'm gonna lean Niko here, because I think he'll end up making it a war. If Rowe keeps it technical though, I think he could finish Niko to be honest.

Hill vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
I think Ducote is legit, but as with every strawweight up and comer, she must pass the Angela Hill test. I think she should pass with flying colors.

Guida vs. Holtzman
Clay Guida, DEC
I think Holtzman getting fed to Gamrot and Dariush this late in his career is gonna prove to be very bad. I think he won't look good and Guida will outperform him everywhere the fight goes.

Johnson vs. Diakiese
Marc Diakiese, DEC
D1 Diakiese is gonna come back with a vengeance, should be an easy, wrestling heavy decision.

Elkins vs. Pearce
Jonathan Pearce, TKO, R2
I think round 1 will have some super fun scrambles and end up being competitive, but ultimately in round 2 Pearce will end up finishing Elkins with ground and pound.

Cortez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Ribas will end up exposing Cortez here. Cortez is good, but her level of competition compared to Ribas is not even close.

Levy vs. Valdéz
Genaro Valdéz, TKO, R1
I think Valdez will end up pressuring Levy from the bell and break him.

Marshall vs. Rojo
Marcelo Rojo, DEC
I'm gonna go with the dog Rojo here. Marshall wasn't very impressive to me on DWCS and this will be the best opponent he's ever fought. I think Marshall will look good in round 1, but fall off after that and lose a decision.

Jauregui vs. Nunes
Yazmin Jauregui, TKO, R1
Nunes is not very good, and Jauregui is a future top 5 staple in the strawweight division. This is an easy pick.

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Tai Tuivasa, TKO
I see Sergei coming in and trying to KO Tai. But unfortunately Sergei Pavlovich is going to learn an important lesson. Don’t BANG with Samoans.

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
I see Tuivasa getting a devastating KO.

The 3 best value plays on this card

1. Tracey Cortez (probably the best play on the card)

2. Phil Rowe 

3. Angela Hill

Also definitely worth a look are Tai Tuivasa, Eryk Anders and Michael Johnson (less likely)

I am making small parlay plays including all of them.

Best prop when it's out will be RDA decision, Rowe ITD, Cortez Decision, Hill decision and Tuivasa KO/Fight to end in KO
