Oh also - if we think about this from a technical perspective, Arman would have beat Gamrot just as easily as Dariush did. If that were a 3 rounder it would've been a clear 29-28 (some could even argue 30-27) for Arman. The exact same score/scores Beneil got against Mateusz. For me the first round of Beneil vs Gamrot was just as close as the third round between Arman and Gamrot. I personally think Gamrot edged out both those rounds (could've gone either way), so either one could've been a 30-27 or a 29-28 win for his opponents.

Also ik Dariush's victory was more dominant than Arman's because of the knockdown and complete nullifying of offense, but Beneil got taken down a couple times. Sure, he got right back up and reversed a bunch, but Gamrot couldn't even get Tsarukyan down until he gassed later in the fight. As a matter of fact, Arman was the one takinghimdown on occasion. Minus the knockdown in the third round Id argue Arman was out-striking Mateusz just as badly as Beneil did (those body kicks were brutal)

I think Bobby Green could steal this fight away by taking one of the rounds with his wrestling but I don't think his ego will allow him to. Maybe he decided to do it in the third but is too tired by that point to implement it effectively. It's a very winnable fight for him though if he decides to fight smart but I think he's too much of a showman to do it.

I feel like 3 rounds isn't enough time for guys like Arman, Damir, Guram Gamrot etc to distinguish winners in these highly skilled, extremely close fights. I'm staying away because I smell a Damir robbery with everyone backing Arman. Too many dodgy split decisions being floated around for my liking. These guys need 25 minutes to truly test their skills - 3 rounds just isn't enough to set them apart it seems. Then again the judges robbed Arman against Gamrot after 25 minutes so maybe they should just fight to the death  🤷‍♂️

Predictions: 5 of 7 Winners, 4 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 3481st

Cannonier vs. Strickland
Sean Strickland, DEC
Classic Strickland jabbing his way to decision win?

Tsarukyan vs. Ismagulov
Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
Amazing fight. Arman is a tank of a wrestler and I think he takes down and beats Damir over 3 rounds

Nurmagomedov vs. Kakhramonov
Said Nurmagomedov, DEC
Could go either way but I like Said to do more damage in the judges eyes

Maheshate vs. García
Rafa García, DEC
Garcia should wrestle here to try and tire out Maheshate. I expect him to use that game plan effectively

Battle vs. Fakhretdinov
Bryan Battle, TKO, R2
Maybe I'll look stupid, but I'll take that chance. Battle is UFC tested and has beaten Petroski who is a good wrestler. He's shown he can get taken down, but he has sneaky BJJ and sneaky power at 170 too

Dvořák vs. Kape
Manel Kape, DEC
Kape is way faster and more powerful than Dvorak. I also like that he's showed improvements, and training at a gym like XC, there's plenty to pick up

Morozov vs. Newson
Sergey Morozov, DEC
Morozov is better everywhere. If he doesn't get hit with any spinning **** from Newson, he can definitely win. Not only can Morozov wrestle, but he can crack on the feet too

Yes Paddy is skillful at taking punches and giving up pos in wrestling.

Was gonna sprinkle on Newson at +310 but line was bet down again. Under +300 I'd rather look for live spots.
