Wouldnt this be a similar situation with Conor (great striking) vs Khabib (good wrestler)? And I feel if islam gets volk in the same chokes Brian had him in I dont think he can muscle out of those. Volks way of winning is striking and outstriking islam. But with islams first priority to wrestle volk can never never get too comftorble on the feet. So am i wrong to say volk has a SMALL chance of winning?

Best dogs are Porter and Meinfield in my opinion, worst are Volk, Shainis, Brenner.

“Shislam Crotchsniffaev has a glass jaw, if his leg humping fails he is done” 🤦‍♂️

You really can’t be this bad… You have to be trolling 
I swear if you owned a funeral home everybody would stop dying. 

I hope you ain’t betting on this card.

Frodo Volsonovski should stay in his Hobbit Division

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 590 Points   |   Tied for 141st

Even if Mezzor goes with Makhachev that would mean a fade for Makhachev for 2 rounds, but Makhachev would finish in the 3rd, not even Mezzor would fade this. Frodo Volsonovski is gonna get choked.

He is one of the most valuable members on Tapology, he tells us who his locks are and they are almost guaranteed to lose 

We can all make easy money betting against him.

There are 2 types of expert pickers on this site.

1. Bananas and Andrew - Geniuses at analysing MMA and picking winners

2. Mezzor - Genius at picking losers. Even the ones he pick who actually win the fight get DQ'd or points deducted for a draw. He is a reverse Nostradamus


So basically if you have a fighter who Mezzor has picked against (E.g. Makhachev) and Andrew and Bananas have picked It's a dead cert lock of the century.

Pedro vs. Bukauskas
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
Really going back and forth on this. Would be cool if some of the analysts here could turn in some insight lol. Bukauskas looks to be more mature as an athlete overall, and Pedro seems to fumble the bag when he really shouldn't; my instinct tells me this is one of those moments, but adhering to logic, he should mollywhop Modestas.
