I think NZ is somewhere between 8-11 hour time difference for Tim depending where he lives. Real dumb hes not there already, especially considering its a tough cut for him.

Honestly, as a dog, i'd like Nguyen anyway. I think he can soundly win the striking, and i'm not convinced Elliott is just going to score easy tds on him. Think it could be tough.
 
18 hr time difference what a fool.

My worry is what smolka did to ben on the mat tims td's are pretty darn good its his yop control thats lacking but im not sure ben's good enough to keep getting up abd he kept leaving his neck out there trying to get up against smolka

Bb is overrated and has holes in his game but I'm just not sold on old man hunt with a shot chin and about a 10 punch per round output being able to exploit him.

Initially I was on hunt but I really can't be that confident in him getting the job done. He's turned in some pretty poor performances as of late.

Honestly, so has BB. That Russian guy is as winning the fight for what, 4 rounds til BB slept him and Travis Browne should have finished him in the first when he was hurt and running. Roy Nelson dec was super close.

There is a strong possibility BB sleeps Hunt, but he also has a very low output and Hunt should be too good for him.
 
geez BB gonna have a 5 in reach advantage too

He only won for 4 rounds because he was laying on lewis. bb is so easy to takedown, and how often does hunt go for takedowns? The only one who have beat bb on the feet lately is travis browne, and he did it by staying on the outside and using his range really well. The way bb swarmed on nelson, who has a similar reach and build as hunt was crazy.

Hunt did not look good against overeem, I don't think he's motivated to win, he's in there for the 750k paycheck. Why not take another 4 losses your last year and retire with 3 extra millions in the bank?
I think the black beast will knock him out, probably from mount after getting it to the floor somehow

struve was coming off a win over stipe and was a top 15 rated hw when hunt kod him

Sure, but how's that relevant? Struve is awful at using his reach (not saying BB is the HW version of Jon Jones, but its still something Hunt has to overcome) and that fight took place like 4 years ago. Since then Hunt has been KOed 5 times, which includes a "beatdown of the year" candidate by the hands of the HW Champ over 20+ minutes.

If you wanna go into it a little deeper, what are BB's weaknesses that a fighter can potentially exploit? Well, he has low output, but so does Hunt. You can basically call that a wash. Hunt can't even attempt to exploit BB's ground game because he has a shit ground game as well.

Let this sink in for a second: Hunt has 3 wins in the last four years, and those are wins over Antonio Silva, Big Country, and Frank Mir. Antonio Silva is currently on 1-8 streak, Big Country has won 3 of his last 10 fights, and Frank Mir is 2-6 in his last 8.

struves background is kickboxing...i dont know how you can say he is awful at using his reach when he has a 50 percent connect ratio and the majority of his fighting takes place on the feet

i just made a comment that hunt has fought someone with a longer reach than bb; a much, much , much better striker in stevan struve.

bbs striking consists of gnp.

He constantly gets hit.If he knew how to properly use his long frame, his opponents would have a very hard time landing on him. You don't see the difference between how Jon Jones makes use of his giant reach advantage versus what Struve does?

hunt gonna best him striking. beast has poor wrestling. beasts takedowns tend to just happen rather than through him forcing them. hunt isn't going to put himself in situations where random shit happens as often as beasts previous opponents. hunt wins this often enough striking to still be a good bet taking into account the times he somehow ends up on his back.

5u hunt
 
All this bb hunt talk i dont get it you may as well go play red or black. Its not only a hw fght but a hw fight with loads of questions
 
I just hope you guys betting on Hunt aren't doing it because of being a fan boy. There were a few guys in here who were sooo confident in him against Brock, claiming that Brock couldn't land a take down on Hunt. Look how that turned out

I acknowledge Hunt can catch BB but at current odds, I'm going to be on the younger fighter who's TKOing everyone over the 43 year old.
 
MMA math crew checking in..


Alvey starches Kelly with a blitz
Brunson starches Alvey with a blitz

Brunson loses to Kelly 29/28 winning the 1st
Am I doing it right ?

That's true but at least bb finds a way to win and he's mostly finishing guys. he almost poops himself but still finishes Travis Browne

What's the verdict on Tim Elliott after his performance vs Mighty Mouse? He's got a spotty record in general, but that one round against Mighty Mouse just looked so damn good. Do we consider him a high-level grappler at flyweight?

struves striking defense is at 48 percent...13 and 14 percent less than strikers overheem and stipe. dos santos is also a striker and gets hit six percent more than struve

and why would you compare struve to jones, jon arguably one of the greatest lhws of all time?

thats like comparing cole miller to max holloway because they roughly share the same height and reach advantages at fw
