Pretty surprised assuncao got bet so much. Expecting that line to even out
Like EZ, I am very surprised by the masvidal love. We got a guy who has spent the past few years losing split Dec to middling opponents vs a guy who has only lost to the best for the past 6 years.
Can a masvidal supporter please break it down for me beyond "he will pressure him". For example, who wins the grappling, how does mas handle the kicks etc. Does anyone recall Masvidal ever effectively working someone to the body?
I already bet Cowboy but am interested in your thoughts on picking Masmasvidal needs to get a bit longer before i drop an atomic bomb on him.
Weird line, weird fight. I thought RA looked like he had a lot of ring rust vs TJ.
It seems like sterling should be able to muscle him around in round 1 right?
I am not saying I plan to dump a ton of cash on Mas but I do lean towards him winning.
Basically Cowboy struggles when his opponent brings continuous forward pressure. Cowboy does best when his opponent just stands in front of him at kicking range...
Mas has evolved from being that passive guy that dropped close decisions. I think he understands now that he needs to be really aggressive to get the nod or better yet get the finish.
From a psychological point of view I think Cowboy is headed toward being a gatekeeper kinda guy that takes tons of fights but never gets the belt OTOH I think Mas is actually seeking to ascend.
All that said its a close fight and I won't be surprised by Cerrone getting the nod.

Lets say Cerrone can't handle the pressure and is getting walked down. I think at this point he might actually be able to hit reactive takedowns (this def needs to verified by tape footage). You think mas' tdd is just too good?
Really? I thought he looked pretty good considering he had a two year lay off and was facing the best. I had a big bet on tj and while he defo won it was a lot more competitive than lineker was. Sterling is not that good imo his standup is trash just spams kicks.
Mas throws a powerful body kick pretty sure he hit larkin and berger with it. We all know cowboy loves a liver kick. Mas is a mare to takedown and hold down too. He knows hes been too passive and came out very aggressive against berger. I wouldnt call benson or larkin middling opponents either.
