Don't let your dislike for Izzy cloud your vision, anything can happen though.

Thankyou, that is useful feedback that I will consider. I have watched very little tape on the two. Jousset just seems like a guy to fade. That was my first impression of him.

Strickland beating Izzy would be a complete mind-**** for me, mostly because he would do something that someone like Whittaker couldn't do after two attempts. It would bother me for a really long time lol

I got Ulberg at -260, he should be -500 at least. You’re a square if you’re not all over that line!

I got Ulberg and Roman Kopylov in a parlay atm. I think their path to victory is pretty clear.

I got Jung against Clark, but he let me down badly. If Ulberg doesn't rush, I think he can finish Jung until the end of the 2rd.

I really don't understand why City Kickboxing allowed Blood Diamond to be in the UFC so early. He clearly needed at least 4 or 5 more fights in the regional scene to even be competitive

You can rely on Tyson Pedro about as much as you can a stranger passing you in the street that asks you for a $100 loan.

The issue with Mike Mathetha that twists my knickers is that he gets a "cool" nom de guerre when he's a complete bum and the UFC have no problem spelling out names like 'Saidyokub Kahkramonov'. Also his rationale for having that nickname is he wants to destigmatize blood diamonds and turn it into something positive. Bruh what?

Pedro has all of the talent, but he can't put it together for some odd reason. He never can beat anyone decent, and Anton showed in his last fight that he has a chin and a little bit of power. I think if the fight gets to the ground, it'll probably be a wrap cause that's why Anton is in the UFC. I kind of want to see him get a win cause I don't think he's awful and the UFC needs LHW that are actually competitive. Tyson Pedro ain't it. He gets knocked out by anyone close to the top 15

This card is literally the City Kickboxing showcase except KKF got a concussion, and Pedro might lose and Blood Diamond will definitely lose. Even Tai Tuivasa and Justin Tafa are honorary members bc they are friends with pretty much everyone on the City Kickboxing team, but they just don't train with them

Jousset pretty much got a free win for his debut fight, and it is his fight to **** up

Also, the co-main is definitely more important for Volkov than Tuivasa. Tuivasa will probably be on the roster unless he starts getting knocked out bad every fight. He's too much of a celebrity now for the UFC to just let him go. He'll just get someone like Buday or Nascimento and knock one of those guys tf out. Meanwhile, if Volkov loses, he completely turns into a gatekeeper for the top 10 and will eventually get cut once more younger new style heavyweights make their way to the UFC. He'll probably have a spot on the roster for the next 2-3 years bc the pool is very small rn, but he's not going anywhere if he loses this one. If he wins, then he probably gets Gane. I think they are going to do Aspinall vs Pavlovich for the vacant title once Jon Jones and Stipe both retire after their fight. I think with MMA Factory not having a great relationship with the UFC, Gane will be the odd man out. The weird thing is that Volkov has pretty much fought everyone, so he'll the UFC will have to do a rematch, or I guess he might get lucky and stumble into a title shot since he hasn't fought Pavlovich yet

I think Gane is fighting the winner of Blaydes x Almeida (probably it'll be Almeida). Pavlo x Aspinall for the vacant, most likely.

I even just saw someone say that if it hits the ground it's a wrap for the Pleasure man. LOL LOL LOL!

Well enjoy yourselves guys. This is the last time you see your hero the "Pleasure Man" in the UFC.

Pedro's grappling is underrated, it's actually really good. def don't think the fight is "over" if it hits the ground

Biggest problem for Pedro is gonna be if he can't finish the fight in the first 3 minutes, does he fold up? Seems like he's in the habit of doing so.

Who has Pedro beat tho? Craig and Rountree demolish him now. He beat both of them early in his career and has lost to everyone that actually has experience and ok skills. I think that last fight Anton was in gave him enough experience and learning lessons to beat Pedro. It's not like Petrino and Almeida are scrubs

I'm not saying Anton will be champion, but I think he's good enough to beat the scraps of the LHW division
