Will be funny when Islam starts spamming kicks thinking he is karate kid now and gets his head spin around.
Low IQ types don't understand how low a success rate those moves are, now if you set them up that is skill.

@jelpelletier half of it is people hating on islam because hes a dagi, the other half is people who picked BSD and want poirier to win to make up for getting that fight wrong

Islam has a weird chin, he's been cracked a bit but I think he's more prepared for this fight, he knows Dustin is a dangerous striker and he'll probably be wrestle-heavy in this fight, Dustin frustrates me a lot by pulling Gilly when he's defending a takedown, STOP PULLING GILLY, THERE'S A REASON WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE A WIN VIA GILLY!!! If he invests a lot in his TDD then I think the fight will be closer but I can see him against the cage defending a takedown and then just stupidly pulling gilly while I fall to my knees knowing this is it for Dustin

Trust me, the only people picking Dustin live in here and don't get out much.

In the real world all the sharps including myself hammered the Makhachev lines ages ago. And that's why the odds are what they are now

People picking with their hearts not their head. I got that Jailton, Grant, Islam parlay going. Separate parlay with Andre Lima added for extra juice. I wanted to add Holland too since he should win but can’t trust him lol. Might do a small one with him added too but can’t be mad if he throws it in the trash lmao.

Anyone thinking Costa could win by robbery decision? It's silly but MMA politics does seem to influence some of these decision fights.

@Miguelpicks if it was a 3 rounder, maybe, with a 5 rounder don't think so

@Miguelpicks I’m not sure why you have to say win by robbery. But, costa actually has a legit chance to win, because he has higher output, more dangerous with his leg kicks, (note Strickland been finished before by leg kick) also, Sean Strickland is ver very flat footed. He just marches forward. The concern for Costa here is… he has shown he has had gas tank issues before. In a 5 round fight this could be an issue for him. If he has changed things around, maybe it’s way better now. I know he trains very hard. Strickland is favorite for a reason, but I don’t hate a stab at costa.

@AyyLmaonnaise liked the read for brown. Although… your comment “went down little easy on Rinat” did Kevin Lee go down little easy too? Idk… Rinat actually has sneaky power. He just wrestles a lot. That’s why I think we don’t see it that much.

I hope your right, really want Costa to win, Costa one of my favorite fighter and I don’t really like Strikland after the Dricus fight

Him crying over Dricus trash talk whilst also being the most out of pocket fighter in the UFC is why I don’t like him anymore, I’m OK with being an *******, just nowadays all these ******* are crying when people say something back which I just hate

@pasha he does have good power, but that shot did not look like he threw it very hard. Regardless of that strike, I thought zds looked slow dodging the punches of rinat, and for what it’s worth rinats striking is not that good; he is just aggressive and very powerful. Even when he was tired he was still landing a lot, and I just feel that a craftier striker like brown can cause some issues; he has deceptive power himself. Hes also 37 so its not like his chin is getting any better

@pashaboyer The robbery was in reference to the DDP fight. Not saying I agree it was a robbery or even the majority do. My mistake if I made it seem that way, I agree with the points for Costa to win a unanimous decision.

@jeffferson Im not sure, it seems really hard to tell what kind of energy efficiency and cardio we will get from Costa. I think Sean has a style that if you just let him jab you he builds a lead that most can't close. Costa has to do something similar to Jarrod cannoier.

MMA decision had Dricus winning 3 rounds to Sean 2 rounds, But 57% of people think Strickland won, It’s because Strickland won 2 clear round, Dricus won 1 clear round, 1 semi clear round and 1 10-10 type round

That fight was a split decision type fight, wouldn’t cry robbery either way

@DamienHandel420 Im not sure if this was in support or not but I agree it was close. Do you give any credence to the UFC higher ups/judges not liking Strickland?
