Great song lesson in there for us all love the white cop at the well fare line :>.

Song and the vid. Put ah glow in our corner. Thanks Man!

His mum told me he also has a micropenis. From birth. Very sad
 That's why he overcompensates on here.

*** lmfao 

Dulgarian found his new camp at factory x. He’s been training there since it was announced fighters can’t train at glory 

I think the co-main is Jackson's fight to lose. Out of everyone in the top 14, I think they gave Jackson probably the easiest matchup, and he has the skillset to win decisively. If he loses to Ige, I think his ceiling has been reached. 

I think the Argueta fight was pretty telling of Jackson’s ceiling. He struggled way too hard with that one 

I think Ige takes this easily. I was not impressed with how Jackson struggled with a low level fighter like Argueta. 

How do you think the Factory X things plays for Dulgarian. Surely that has to be to his advantage right? I'm excited by Dulgarian. He could turn out to be a bust but I dunno
 I think there could be something special there if he has cardio for even 2 rounds

@rah yeah this seems like the type of guy ige should easily beat. Jackson is def underrated but I don’t think he has what it takes. Maybe he could win the first couple of rounds, but ige is way too tough and will scramble like Argueta did, so jackson could get tired out and ko’ed. nothing changes the fact he still has a bad chin. I think iges power gets wayyyy overrated for the tucker ko, but he does still hit decently hard. 

As for dulgarian, I’m not gonna hold high expectations just because I have so many questions about him. No doubt he looks good on tape, but we haven’t seen him face any adversity. Is Argueta really that good? Not really, but he’s tough as ****, can push a pace, can wrestle, and has proven he has good cardio. If dulgarian looks the same he does past 2 minutes, or if he somehow doesn’t get an early finish, who knows what he’s gonna look like. I have to take Argueta just on that. Now, if I knew there was something special about dulgarian, then I would pick him. But the only reason he’s in the ufc is because he was signed to be the “full send fighter” but i think everyone notices that they still aren’t sponsoring him at all. So if he was taken for a brand deal, and not exclusively for his skills then who knows how good he actually is

The issue I have with Ige is that he kept losing fight tho, I have trouble backing guys who kept losing 

Same goes for Kelvin, Sijara and Abdul as they all like 1-4 in the last 5

@duck yeah but look at who’s beating him. Movsar would maul jackson, emmett would sleep him worse than movlid did, and as past his prime as TKZ is, he still would beat jackson pretty easily imo. Jackson is definitely solid, but his ceiling has been shown before. The sabatini ko was nice, but let’s be honest if they ran that fight back, 9/10 times sabatini is out grappling him that whole fight maybe even getting a sub 

Yes ige is losing fights, but let’s not forget how close the emmett fight was. TKZ and movsar are much better grapplers than jackson is

My only worry is that he lossing he could lose more

But your not wrong, I think of the ‘big loser’ On the card, Ige be the most likely to win

Losing is part of competion if you never lose your padding and ducking or juicing or all of the above except jones he just juiced honorable cheater.

hey, what about Soriano wrestling abilities? is he good?
