Ion is the definition of a glass cannon. I wouldn’t be at all shocked if he starts ragdolling kennedy and then due to his size kennedy lands on top of him and ko’s him with ground and pound. It just seems fitting he should lose like that

I just have a hard time seeing anyone ragdoll Kennedy. Maybe if the fought Curtis Bladyes or Romanov.

@gilese yeah true but who knows with ion fights. He either looks like a world beater or gets destoryed with ease. He confuses the **** out of me

I just don't see Cutelaba winning, Kennedy took so many shots vs Ulberg and stayed on his feet, literal zombie, he's just gonna punch out Cutelaba once he gasses out..

I think Cutelaba is good. He had serious gas tank issues at the start but when he started training in the US he improved his cardio and got better at conserving his energy. Still he has a very taxing fight style where he tries to maul opponents. That is probably going to be tough to implement against Kennedy because of his size. I haven't capped the fight but immediate thought is that Cutelaba can win but it will take incredible effort the way he fights with an opponent of that size.

Predictions: 2 of 2 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 3524th

Lewis vs. Spivak
Sergey Spivak
Spivak - TKO . Fight isn’t going the distance. Lewis could land a bomb bust recent performance he shelled up once getting hit. Leaning more towards Spivak. Toss up though. Bet not going the distance.

Cutelaba vs. Nzechukwu
Ion Cutelaba
Ion - TKO round one. Kennedy doesn’t move. Ion comes out 1000000% as always either gets finish or gets finished himself.

First of all Spivak got smashed by Aspinall. Secondly he has no cardio and his stand up is awful. Watch the Oleinik fight its horrible. Lewis will get taken down but he gets up and only needs one punch. His recent losses were to strikers with KO power.

Also regarding Sherman, did you actually watch his fight against Vanderaa? Vanderaa lost the first round but maybe won the 2nd and was winning the 3rd until he got clipped behind the ear in thr pocket and completely lost his equilibrium. Not sure that Sherman is the better boxer as he was losing a striking battle to Vanderaa. Cortes also has a boxing background and is faster. The one thing I don't like about Acosta is that he sometimes leaves his chin exposed when rushing in or going back and could get clipped. But I'm not convinced that Sherman has a lot of power.

That said it's a heavy weight fight.. any outcome is possible

Also Lewis recently lost to Gane, Tuivasa, Pavlovich... 3 of the buggest punchers in the division. 

Spivak lost to Tybura and Harris... and his recent wins? Felipe, Vanderaa, Oleinick, Greg Hardy, Sakai. Also Tuivasa who has no ground game

Why anyone is even bothering with this dumpster fire card is beyond me. 

Bellator is where the money is at this weekend.

@gilese I feel the same way. I’m actually a really big fan of his wrestling. Kennedy on paper has the best tdd of anyone he’s fought recently so I think he will have some adversity there. However, ion loves to go for trips against the cage. I need to watch more kennedy but I have never really seen his balance in mma, so maybe the leg trips are a path to victory for ion. I have a hunch kennedys good tdd is mostly due to his freakish size and people not knowing how to fighth around it. He also hasn’t fought a wrestler as good as ion. There’s also the factor that kennedy is the slowest starter known to man fighting an incredibly fast starter. So who knows how this is really gonna look lol. One of the hardest fights for me to call

People are bothering with this card because you can actually make money on it. There are some excellent spots.

Good luck with Bellator... I will come console you after your parlays crash after a few huge robberies

I know this is a crazy thought but could Kennedy get his first submission win here?  still haven’t taped this fight but I remember Kennedy had his last opponent back for 2 rounds from memory, seems like he been working that area of mma. Is that just a crazy thought?

People really don't want to fight Jack Della for some reason. Dude is actually getting the same treatment as Usman and Khamzat when they first came into the UFC. He might be that good, but for other UFC fighters to see him as the boogeyman is a little odd to me considering his last opponent was kind of overrated

Ion is not good at all. He only has stock cause his first fight against Ankalaev was back and forth until he tried to bait Ankalaev and the ref stopped then proceeded to get knocked tf out in the next matchup. I am fully expecting him to try to clinch and then Kennedy to find his way on top or find the chin and piece him apart until he is out cold
