Sergei Pavlovich's Cardio

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 3559th

It's not about Aspinall's cardio being better than Sergei, it's about the style of fight he fights. Aspinall fights slower with smaller measured movements, doesn't throw max power every shot. Sergei throws max power almost every shot and charges at the opponenets. It's kind of like the style of Michael Chandler. They are very good but impatient.
Both Aspinall and Pavlovich are in great shape, we don't know either one's cardio levels going into later rounds, Pavlovich has just shown that he burns more energy with his big movements than Aspinall.

Once in a while a BJJ specialist that is ultra agressive in hunting for submissions shows up and makes every fight they are in super fun to watch. They go in a win streak and remind everyone that you can be a BJJ nerd and not embarrass yourself and the sport of MMA inside the cage like Kron Gracie did. 

I think Lopes is that guy for now, you might very well be right and he is going to get all his hype derailed in this fight but in my opnion he can keep going until he at least gets in the top 15.

I think Diego Lopes is great I just wish they'd stop pairing him up with wrestle heavy opponents. Brito, Evloev, and Sabatini are both guys who live in top control and their jiu-jitsu is good enough to defend the relentless submissions Lopes throws up from the bottom. I hope he wins this, but I don't think he does, and hopefully they give him a step back in competition and some better stylistic matchups to let him string some wins together. His best chance to me isn't catching Sabatini in a SUB from bottom position. It would be to crack him early like Emmers and Damon Jackson did then hop on him for a GnP or SUB finish

Anybody else think Andrade is a live dog here? Sure she's lost 3 straight but it's been to some of the best in the strawweight and flyweight divisions. I could definitely see Dern subbing her, but if she can't get her to the mat I think Andrade pulls out a decision

I think to be a good “BJJ nerd”. You need more skills then just BJJ, you need either some striking or some wresling ,The one dimensional BJJ nerds are the ones that get expose 

Im hoping Diego Lopes has some hands, it not hard to have better striking that Pat Sabatini

Then all BJJ nerds sucks in my opinion, if you can’t wresle or strike you suck

I’m into BJJ chads are more well rounded and is more game, I think Dern and Lopes are BJJ chads

@DevinM34 - Andrade

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 3559th

@DevinM34 
Yes, Andrade is always a threat in every fight, can never count her out.  Like you said, she pretty much fought the three contenders in those 3 losses. 2 of them happen to be arguably 2 of the best wrestlers/grapplers in women in the ufc currently. She took short notice fights too. But now she is facing arugably another top 5 wrestler/grappler in women. It's a tricky one. I am still undecided.
Like many other fights on this card, this one is also difficult to predict for me.
