If Hafez struggle to take 6.2 Gall down, he will gas in the 2nd.

Hafez won’t gas out, he’s on too much EPO. Dude has inhuman recovery speed; he looks death gassed 3 minutes into every fight, gets a breather, and keeps going

@AyyLmaonnaise

I don’t think hafez is very good in general; the line wouldn’t be higher than -180 if the JDM fight didn’t happen. He has some very good skills but doesn’t really know how to fight. Makes a ton of fight iq mistakes and is really bad at finishing fights. He should beat gall because gall is an unathletic punching bag, but I also don’t trust hafez very much. He had very close fights with some terrible fighters on the regional scene

@oneeye I agree, I don’t like hafez. Dog or pass for me, but gall is too **** to trust with your money. I’m just going to enjoy the fight and collect info from it

Gall is only known for beating cm punk,and after beating the other guy who beat cm punk..Hafez had a good performance with jdm,but we need to stop overrating fighters after a loss

Hafez is a lock.

strickland costa

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 530 Points   |   Tied for 4280th

Thoughts on this matchup? I feel like Costa will make it a tough fight for Strickland but will get outpointed to a decision. was watching an interview of Robin Safar who recently beat Sergey Kovalev and was a sparring partner for Strickland rate his boxing pretty highly, saying he's very awkward but has good defense and pace even for boxing standards. I also don't think Costa has the power to deter Strickland, but then again Strickland doesn't offer much off the backfoot either which could be a problem when facing someone with the pressure of Costa.

@bornmenu 
i fell like it would be awesome for costa to beat strickland,but awesome things doesn't happen very often.
In a 5 rounder ,If you bet costa here,bet him by ko that's his only chanche imo.Strickland will take over the fight with his cardio and pressure in the later rounds

49-46 izzy and a split decision with DDP i think is good enough to beat costa..but in mma anything is possible that's why we love the sport
