UFC 283: Teixeira vs. Hill

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

after warning you about all the racial, gender, etc stuff yesterday, today it's big-nosed jews? no, sir.

3 day suspension is to make it clear that if you want to keep doing daily raps you have to keep it more respectful.

Bros been put in isolation 

lets goooooo

@GregoryBless

Forget him, I'll be representing all Mike's here and forward.

the GOAT zarah fairn taking her time to weigh in

Oh no Anthony Smith missed weight, ANYWAY. Honestly Prison Mike's posts were getting a bit tiring to scroll through I think Im gonna have to hide his posts

Anthony Smith even being the backup fighter shows how dead this division is 

Better Anthony Smith than following : Johnny Walker, Paul Craig (for Glover to be exact), Volkan Oezdemir, Jan Błachowicz (He needs someone out of top5 now not 2nd Glover Teixeira). Ankalaev and Rakic are currently resting their legs off after Jan so give those mofos some time. MOTH
EDIT : Also Smith being backup fighter for this card just shows the hate boner that UFC have against Jan, Anthony got his crap beaten out of him by Glover yet its fine that Anthony is a backup fighter for main event in which we have GLOVER.

If this fight wasn’t in Brazil I’d be ALL OVER Magny as an underdog, but since it’s this location I’ll stay away because the fight will more than likely go to the judges and it’s no way they’re gonna give Magny the win via decision in Brazil against Burns unless he just completely separated himself and outclass Burns the entire fight to where it’s no question. If it’s close it will 100% go to Burns

Everyone made weight. I don't wanna jinx it but this will be the first 15 fight card in a long time 

i just don't see how magny wins this fight at all

he looked absolutely terrible against d-rod getting rocked multiple times, his "jab" which is what most people are pointing at as a way of victory he hasn't utilized in a long time - he didn't use it against d-rod, didn't use it against shavkhat, barely used it against max griffin, so if you want to look at a fight in which he kinda utilized the jab you'd have to look at the neal fight and earlier which is 2 years ago and then longer for past fights. and EVEN then his jab is more like a pestering strike, its not a power jab or a stiff straight like usman and chimaev threw against burns

d-rod and shavkhat closed the distance on magny ridiculously easily considering the size advantage magny has and magny does have the stint on his record of getting dominated by really good grapplers (chiesa, rda, shavkhat, maia). also another underrated weapon for burns is going to be that low calf kick which he's been seen using every now and then, ponzi absolutely ******* murdered magny's legs so during the time he's not grappling with magny, the calf kick is there all day for burns

unless burns has gone through some insane physical and mental deterioration since the khamzat fight (he's 36 and magny 35 but IMO magny is in worse shape and with more mileage than burns), he's going to win this fight

lastly, there's a tiny worry in my head that we're going to see some eye poke ******y in this fight - magny posts his arm straight out with his fingers pointing towards people's eyes and burns could very much walk into an eyepoke

Figgy looked pretty damn good on the scale by his standards

Aside from the title fights this card should be very similar to UFC London 2022 (the first one). Top draw local talent vs debuting or failing fighters with plenty of finish potential across the board. There's no way the UFC want guys like Burns & Andrade to lose stock over Magny & Murphy. We've seen their limits already.
