True, I still don’t think ottomans gonna win. Frevola is the better fighter. His chin is better than people give him credit for but yknow, he just likes to brawl. Plus we don’t know how Ottman will look with the layoff

Ottman Azaitar might be the hardest hitter at 155 in the UFC.  If Frevola cannot get the fight to the ground, he is going to get knocked out.

Based on what? He’s ko’ed two guys known for having really bad chins. The dude obviously hits hard but wins over teemu packalenen and Khama worthy with his 10 losses by ko isn’t exactly a good indicator

The hardest hitter at 155 is Fiziev imo. Followed by Poirier

I think chandler is one of the hardest pure hitters. Porier and fiziev hit really hard but also have good technique and accuracy which helps. Chandler is like a ******* ape

Terrance McKinney is the hardest hitter at 155 IMO, I think he's has to be one of the pound 4 pound heaviest hitter in the sport, He sleeps so many people in under 20 seconds,  I have him in my top 3 with Francis and Figgy,

My point is that if Frevola is stupid enough to stand and strike with Azaitar, he is getting knocked out.

Oh yeah I forgot about Terrance. He’s def up there 

@tepid yeah true, he’s by no means gonna win easily but I think Frevola has more tools to get it done. I also think his chin is better than people give him credit for. He gets drawn into brawls but honestly his striking defense is pretty good (59%). He’s eaten some really big shots before too and been fine. Ottman can def sleep him tho

This may be an unpopular opinion but I think Montel Jackson is going to sleep Julio Arce. Just a feeling

McKinney is undoubtedly the hardest hitter at 155, Azaitar ain’t even CLOSE. People like Chandler have an argument for 1, not ******* Bumzaitar lmao

Ottman Azaitar is from Germany, not Morocco per his Tapology profile.

While we're all on the topic of Frevola vs Azaitar, any thoughts on Frevola being a slight favorite in the matchup guys?

He was a favorite against another undefeated guy with all finishes and we saw how that went. Azaitar is a bum, he almost got KO'ed by Charlie Leary and he's basically a fat rich kid that likes fighting

Where tf did you get -2500 from 😂 He was a -510 on tapology odds. Yeah Valdez is a fraud, but so is Azaitar tbh. He has a terrible level of competition and has gotten exposed a couple times. Is he as much of a fraud as Genaro? No. But that Frevola fight wasn't even competitive. Ottman could very well chin Matt, but I'm leaning towards Frevola finishing him late or winning a UD

Frevola absolutely destroyed a complete fraud, I think he still beats a semi fraud. Not as easily but he still wins, at least IMO
