@AyyLmaonnaise 
He's 5'8 and trying to fight at FLW, it's just the wrong weight class for him rather than any discipline issues.

Not like Nova Uniao guys aren't known for absolutely insane weight cuts.

Put a sprinkle on Johnson, I expect to be able to sell that odds later at a profit (player's exchange market).

@thesnake Johnson is 5”8 and made weight 5 times in a calendar year. Size is part of it but considering he pulled out of his debut due to a botched weight cut, I think it’s partly discipline issues

Anheliger looks a weight class below Johnson. Still can't fathom the amount of people on Tap picking him. I think he will get crushed.

@gilese gotta be recency bias at its finest. Anheiliger literally doesn’t have a single tool in his skillset where he can beat Johnson; his grappling is just as bad

Brendan Allen -425Vs. Paul Craig +330: Pick is Allen but with these odds it would be wise to pass altogether on this fight.Michael Morales -298vs. Jake Matthews +240: Pick is Morales to win dominately. Chase Hooper -205 vs.Jordan Leavitt +170: Pick is Jordan leavitt to upset the walmart shaun o malley Hooper.Uros Medic+124 vs. Myktbek Orolbai -148: Orolbai is more well rounded but with Medic being a better striker he could very well get it done. Pick is medic.

Better question who is worried about Craigs chin at 185 weight cut looks pretty rough on him?
Brendo openly said they would use standup to make openings like he has been in his recent success.

Of course it will, this isn't Bellator. Even if every fight is finished first round the UFC will drag out the same 3 commercials for 10+ mins in between each fight. 

There's nothing quite like UFC pacing. Deliberately boring people to death in between fights. 

It's the Mike Tyson TV rule.  Drag it out as long as possibly so the viewer feels like they got more entertainment for their money. Even though its all Fu gaze

Estevam weighed in at 128. He didn't look too good on the scales either. Not sure if I should switch to Charles Johnson or not 

Edit: of course people already posted this & I decide to post without reading 🤡
