UFC Fight Night: Nzechukwu vs. Cuțelaba

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Ricky Turcios vs Kevin Natividad.... why is this fight even happening 

If you can't see where to make money on this card I feel sorry for you.

Then again after yourvperformance last card, especially breaking your bank on Puelles I understand why you don't want to risk the few remaining things you own

I actually was considering taking Sherman here. I actually missed the Waldo Acosta - Vanderaa fight and was hearing a lot of people say how unimpressive he looked and how he ate a lot of leg kicks so he won't be ready for this fight. 

Now I watched the fight I have the exact opposite view
 Acosta look great. No nerves on debut, looked fast, aggressive amd powerful with a lot of aggression and forward pressure. He got cracked by Vanderaa and showed a good chin. He had good cardio and kept fighting hard and didn't back down. Also the leg kicks... remember how, I think it was someone who fought Chris Gutierrez (maybe Cody Durden?) got their leg chewed up and took a fight 2 weeks later... and everyone was like he will barely be able to stand up... and he was fine and won the fight.

If anything we know Sherman isn't throwing leg kicks, and has a suspect chin and cardio and is a known quitter. He will be much slower than Acosta who will likely actually chew up his leg which will affect him as a boxer. If anything Acosta kept fighting, showing toughness and heart and we know Sherman will look for a way out when the going gets tough.

For me this is a smash spot for Acosta. One of the many really good betting spots on this card.

L'Andrew... watch and learn how it's done and how the big boys really bet. Take notes 📝 

this card on paper sucks, but they need to happen to build prospects and fighters. its weird I find some of the worst cards on paper end up being quite good with some good finishes we will see

Was it better though? Pasquael was looking ok and got caught with a knee. 

Puelles showed himself as a fraud and he looked scared and quit. Exactly like I thought.

So no Son, it wasn't better. Take the L

Lewis vs. Spivak
Sergey Spivak, TKO, R1
Early Pick; Spivak by KO, I'm leaning 1st or 2nd round KO by Polar bear.

Cutelaba vs. Nzechukwu
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R2
Early Pick; Ion is **** African Savage takes this W.

Sherman vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R1
Early Pick; Finally some more Contender Serie winners, Waldo for the W, I actually had Sherman in his previous match-up but they did him a little dirty with Waldo as replacement now.

Salikhov vs. Fialho
Andre Fialho, SUB, R2
Early Pick; Andre back in the W colomn after the Salikhov fight. Still gotta watch tape on all my picks though

Brundage vs. Vieira
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R2
Early Pick; Viera

Maddalena vs. Roberts
Jack Della Maddalena
Early Pick; Jack

I am looking closely at Fialho too...

As much as I respect Salikhov I really did not like what I saw in his last fight... I think he is on the decline and his cardio may be waning

Dropping the bag on Umar? Bag of what? Poo?

Lol so you think because Rogan said Hooker is in "real trouble" that validates your pick?

If you are listening to Rogans opinion on things now that just shows your level

Man, just vanish... stop getting owned on here.. take a break for mental health after all those L's and come back for the Jiri card...

Or even better... give us all an early Christmas present and don't come back at all. 

And take Tartara/PrisonMike/Hat with you...

Puelles folded like I folded your mum last night

I feel sorry for you, you homeless bum. Come back in 2 weeks with your social security cheque.

I will stop ragging on you now because I don't like contributing to mental illness in the vulnerable/mentally frail

All the low level members :
Ohhh, this card sucks - is boring - bla... bla... bla... etc... etc... !

Yes of course, you can't have top level cards through the whole year, and plus, it's obvious that you will have before and after a big event a few less interesting events, when the big event draws some fights which could stand alone as main events... ! What you can't understand... !? Stop beaching around and don't follow the the Promotion or the Sport if you don't like it... !

@TARTARABLESS

I think Natalia Silva could find a submission
