I dont understand the Ottman hate...


I think y'all just don't like him personally even though you never met the guy 


As for his fighting. I mean hes 13-0, right? Frevolas not 13-0. Hes 9-3-1. 

Its not like he had trouble with Khama or Teemu. 

The only fight Frevola took zero damage in was his last fight. Dude is a damage magnet

Yeah I like him, I think he's entertaining. I never watch his breakdowns though but what little I've seen I think he's decent, he doesn't try to sell a betting service or pretend like he's a skilled capper like a lot of the other fraudsters on YT.

I have stopped betting Womens MMA and I am sleeping better with less nightmares now.

Still I see most people are on Gomez. I think that's surprising. Karolina should be a much bigger favourite

CKB dynamics are giving off weird vibes. it sounds like the CKB fighters are feeling like they have been over trained this camp. It seems like there is some tension between Eugene and Izzy as well, Izzy is playing it down but Eugene is leaning into provoking Izzy in the media.

There's a scenario where Eugene is playing mental chess, he sees Izzy's ego is getting out of control or he's building up a "prove me wrong" narrative for Izzy to not get allow him to get complacent and that's why he's calling Izzy out in public. On the flip side it could be that there is genuine tension and the fractures in the team are growing rather than improving and Eugene is creating an unhealthy environment.

I haven't got a good read on it at this stage but one thing that is becoming clear is Izzy is going to wrestle/grapple. He's referencing Frank Hickman A LOT in relation to his camp and also hints that he "knows something" about himself that will surprise Alex. Combined with the constant reference to Hickman I think Izzy is feeling really confident in his wrestling.

If you think (as I do) that Izzy does have a genuine grappling advantage then the 15.00 odds on Izzy by sub might not be a bad sprinkle.

He is a 2nd degree Taekwondo black belt.

Not something to sneeze at even though TKD is a good way to get pounded into the pavement in a fight.

Even more impressive he achieved that in a wheelchair

Where did you get this info?

In Baremans defence, can you imagine putting up with Izzy 24/7

I never liked him before but I would watch his things here and there, the other day he said to his subscribers “I made myself, you guys didn’t make me” that’s when he lost my full respect, and I hate when people **** on fighter when they haven’t even put their own toes in the water but sorry for the off topic convo just genuinely curious
