LFA 151: Delano vs. Santos

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Delano vs. Santos
José Delano, DEC
On paper this is close but in practice I don’t think it will be close. Delano is an elite prospect

Polastri vs. Gottig
Julia Polastri, SUB, R2
Neither are super impressive but I’ll take Julia

Castro vs. Roberts
Roosevelt Roberts, TKO, R3
Robert’s has picked up 2 wins after getting cut by the ufc. I think he’ll keep that streak

Bet the house on delano the guy is just levels ahead of everyone he’d be in the ufc by now if it wasn’t for a few weight misses and he’s probably going to head over to the ufc after this if everything goes well with the weight

Delano vs. Santos
José Delano, TKO, R4
Banger of a fight, the winner will be in the UFC

Rocha vs. Nascimento
Jefferson Nascimento, SUB, R3
Nascimento is much more proven and has the advantage on the ground

Souza vs. Oliveira
Michael Oliveira, TKO, R2
Oliveira has looked like a beast so far

Rocha vs. Nascimento
Jefferson Nascimento, SUB, R1
Quickie!

Alves vs. Minoto
Manuel Robson Minoto, TKO, R1
ONE

Fujimoto vs. Leila
Gabriela Fujimoto, SUB, R2
What a fight ❗️

Delano vs. Santos
José Delano, DEC
Kinda surprised the odds are so close. Santos is a great prospect but he was seconds from getting ko’ed in his last fight before the amazing comeback. Delano is just a serious problem; only issue is making weight but man is he impressive l. High output, insane cardio, and insane takedown defense. He should win this and get signed immediately to the ufc

Polastri vs. Gottig
Julia Polastri, DEC
Yeah Gottig has a nice record but bad level of competition. Polastri got dominated on dwcs (and honestly not a great loss as I am not high on Jasmine at all) but, she was fighting a massive flyweight all while being a Strawweight. I think she is much better as a Strawweight and should look great here

Bilharinho vs. Machado
Caio Machado, DEC
Machado beating silva in his last fight makes this very interesting; I think bilharinho is a massive hype job and honestly not very good, but at the same time caio has lost every time he’s faced a step up (until the silva fight). Jonas dominated his last guy but I think that was more his opponent being **** than anything

Ferreira vs. Brauns
Mateus Brauns, DEC
Brauns only loss is to a really good fighter, but he doesn’t have a ton of good wins. Ferriera actually has some really good wins but also some meh losses.

Silva vs. Oliveira
Marco Tulio Silva, TKO, R1
I’ve been impressed with silva ever since he sparked glaico franca. Well has a nice record but it’s all padded. He gets whooped when he fights a step up

Rocha vs. Nascimento
Matheus Rocha, TKO, R2
I love undefeated vs undefeated fights. Not really sure who to back but I’ll go Rocha hoping for a highlight ko

Mara vs. Thainara
Pâmela Mara, TKO, R3
Her record doesn’t look great but Mara actuslly has a decently impressive record. Thainara has a better record but when you look at her wins nothing really stands out (yeah Amanda went to dwcs but she’s not good)

Barros vs. Barão
Cassio Barão, TKO, R2
Barros is a can crusher

Escobar vs. Galindo
Gabriel Souza Galindo, SUB, R2
Galindo is promising but this should be easy

Alves vs. Minoto
Manuel Robson Minoto, TKO, R1
Minoto is a beast. High level kickboxer and smoked his opponent in his debut

@cheddie facts, Delano is a problem 

LFA is doing an awesome job with these 6 fight main cards, and I think every event should have 6 fights on the main card. 5 fights has me wanting a little more, I think 6 is the perfect amount.

Castro vs. Ferreira
Milson Castro, SUB, R2
Of course roberts ducked. Anyone who goes to Russia and survives is someone to look out for. Castro was brought in to lose and beat some very good Russians; 100% ufc caliber fighter

Delano vs. Santos
José Delano, DEC
Both of these guys should be in the UFC.

Castro vs. Ferreira
Milson Castro, DEC
Milson Castro is another fighter that’s ready to sign with the UFC or Bellator. Should be a win as long as he fights to his potential.

Bilharinho vs. Machado
Jonas Bilharinho, TKO, R2
Bilharinho should also be in the UFC. It still doesn’t make sense that Dana passed on Jonas after he got an amazing spinning wheel kick finish.

Ferreira vs. Brauns
Mateus Brauns, SUB, R2
This has potential to be another good one. Brauns is another fighter that’s probably ready for the big leagues

Escobar vs. Galindo
Gabriel Souza Galindo, TKO, R1
Excited to see Galindo!!

Are odds already out? Dont see em anywhere

Really hope the bookies make these odds for the Delano vs Santos fight close gonna be an absolute gold mine on Delano if so bet the house on him trust me 🔐 

I’ve seen the odds for it Delano is 1.3 and Gabriel Santos is 3.2

These prelims are on fight pass aswell that’s cool

Who are your locks? Delano, minoto, and galindo seem safe?

Them 3 and milson Castro are ones I’m most confident on

Word.

Delano vs. Santos
José Delano, TKO, R4
discipline affects everything

I created a 6man fantasy game for this event if anyone is interested, top 2 places win. I'll create another if it fills. The Brazil cards usually deliver!

My final picks for this card I’m going for are:

Jose Delano - he is just going to show levels in this fight hope the boy finally makes it to the ufc after a dominating performance, the guy is just destined for greatness

Jonas bilhariniho - I believe he will get the job done here i don’t think it will be an easy match for him but I’m predicting a 29-28 decision machado is no scrub but he is also nothing special either will be a solid test for bilhariniho

Milson Castro - Castro is a solid legit fighter and has been tested many times against solid opponents wouldn’t br surprised by a short notice call up to the ufc after he gets past his opponent 

Marcos tulio silva - silva looks very promising and should be finishing this fight , Oliviera is terrible if you ask me 28 years old with a record like his is just shocking fair play to him for having so many fights but he is getting smoked in this one particularly 

Michael Oliveria - I don’t know much about this guy but looking at his opponent there should be no way he will be losing this fight should be a easy win for PQD

Manuel Robson Minoto- this guy is a beast got very good hands and kicks and will absolutely be sending his opponent to sleep no doubt about it

Gabriel Souza Galindo - this guy is a savage with his submissions very versatile and will be looking for another one at any given moment in this fight
