Wittner is not bad with grappling either. What do you think JR?

Both St Louis and Alley are frauds but Wittner is a lock.

Anyone thinking of betting Barbosa be careful, his last mma fight was 10y ago although he's had a ton of grappling matches.

Why all think so high of Wittner? I watched his both losses and he looked awful against bum opponents. He has horrible ttd and horrible striking. Also he has a lot of quit in him. Juusola has much higher level opposition and had split with good Romero.

God damnit Ottoni, I wanted to see your odds against Wittner. This card fell apart, but I'm glad the best fight on the card Jean vs Alequin is still doing fine. Also jeez, -305 for Thad Jean

you may think hes trash because of him being a little stiff but trust me the dude is well deserving of his 16-2.

Barbosa has a great level in competitive grappling (BJJ World Championships and ADCC), but the man hasn't fought MMA in about 10 years, if the Georgian defends the takedowns and passes the first round I think his TKO victory is almost absolutely assured…

His fight against Sebie had a frenetic pace. At the end of the first round he managed to land a good hand and finish the job with ground and pound. Yes, Itso has cardio issues in this fight it will probably show if there are a lot of grappling exchanges. But honestly I'm not very confident picking a fighter who hasn't done MMA in 10 years to win an even matchup, things that work in BJJ can leave you in a compromising position in MMA.
