uh, maybe by mauling? just to clarify I'm not saying for sure that Dricus will win (tbh idk who I'm gonna end up picking yet), but Izzy has never fought someone with the bjj of DDP before, and there's something to be said for that. Dricus absolutely has a path to victory. I can't put it as good as theweasle, so if you want a good breakdown of the grappling in this matchup then watch this vid

@el222 

I don't think DDP is skilled enough to even takedown Adesanya. Knowing Izzy, he will keep the fight standing with his high takedown defense and try to knock out DDP. It will be a tough fight because DDP will definitely try to mix it up more but I just don't see DDP outstriking izzy whatsoever.

I agree with you that DDP is not outstriking Izzy, but if Rob and Marvin are skilled enough to get Adesanya down (different matchups ik but still) and get to dominant positions, Dricus absolutely is. and if he does get to those positions, I think Izzy is in trouble, because DDP won't make the same mistakes they did

Adesanya vs. Du Plessis
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R3
I'm quite confident that Adesanya would win. But whether Dricus could give him a competitive or a boring fight isthe question i'm wondering.

So according to Izzy we're gonna have here 6 CKB guys including KKF, Izzy himself and Ulberg. 
Sources of MMA Orbit are telling that Tyson Pedro and Shane Young are gonna be on this card too. 
That leaves 1 unknown. So wdt guys? Riddel or Hooker? My bet is on Riddel cause the only guy who Hooker can fight (cause that person has to fight down) is Fiziev who should be booked vs Mateusz Gamrot (also since both agreed via Twitter when are they gonna sign papers?)

Tafa V Lane

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 4428th

I looked into this match up and my gut is telling me that Lane will win this fight. Don't get me wrong Tafa is a beast, and he trains with really high level fighters, but Lane has more experience and physical advantages. I think if he manages the distance well and stays active during the fight he could win a decision.

First person I thought of that wasn't Ridell was Steve Erceg but he's not with City Kickboxing. Gotta be Riddell.

Who's willing to bet that Riddell is gonna either get a unwinnable fight (Give me ideas) or fight so winnable that you wonder why his opponent is still in the UFC. I doubt they gonna give him either TUF or DWCS standout

hopefully something in between. I really like Riddell, and it'd honestly break my heart to see someone as talented as him lose 4 in a row

From his perspective anything is possible but from ours we can calc if he wins or not. For example he can surely beat Rębecki but not Guram Kutateladze that typo thingy
