I just don't know how you guys can be so confident in Johny Hendricks after this and actually believe that missing wait will not affect his performance. Indeed, he didn't drain himself in the sauna, but he is 5'9" tall and cut up make 185 pounds. This is the guy who for 170 pounds his entire MMA career until one fight ago. He wrestled collegiately at 155 pounds! For him not to be able to make 186 pounds means he didn't train worth a shit. Now Boetsch is on my perma-fade list, but if you think he is so bad that Johny can just roll out of bed and beat a fucking grizzly bear that used to fight HW then hats off to you. It's dog or pass in this situation.

Granted Boetsch is limited in his athleticism and his capabilities because of it, but he still trains hard as shit and is just a nasty monster who can grind his way to ugly victories. Everyone in the UFC is already good, and if your rain dance like the top 20 you're damn good. You cannot just expect to eat pancakes and sausage and steak with your eggs and expect to give yourself the best chance for victory against a guy who across town is training his ass off with wizard Matt Hume.
I think it's a misstake to assume that Johny hasn't trained just because he's fat. You can easily train your ass off and still be fat if you eat like a pig, which im sure Johny does.

This. GF brought up the same sort of argument against Hendricks prior to the Lombard fight and he looked just fine there too

With that being said, I'm happy w my Tim decision play right now lol

Exactly. Even if just his hormone levels are really fucked up, wether it's because of prior steroid use or because of overtraining etc, he might be unable to lose fat. There are several high level fighters who Im sure train their asses off and eat correctly, but still are "fat".

If you train 2/3 times a day and your body functions correctly, you are supposed to eat a shitload of calories. You cant get fat by accident. Im sure in Johnnys case it's a combination of several things.

I thought he looked the same if not better than he did before the Lombard fight.

Is Boetsch still training with Hume ? I thought he left that gym..
 
Hey guys... late as always but early thoughts.

I pick Chiesa over Lee.
While Kevin is a better athlete and probably more skilled fighter, Chiesa is bigger, more durable and can find openings anytime. Take the Dariush fight for example. Beneil is a solid contender at LW. He was beating the crap out of Michael until he slowed down and only took Chiesa an oppening to sub a legit BJJ black belt.
I dont think Lee has the cardio to go 5 hard rounds with Chiesa.

Hendricks vs Tim.
Come on! Tim is a nice guy but I think Hendricks is several levels above him. Red flag, Jhonny missing weight at MW. Does he even trains? Fuck. Tim is not skilled but a though guy. I think Jhonny is way more skilled and he can even "out-though" Tim at this point. Should be an easy fight for Hendricks.

BJ-Siver.
BJ +185? Im all over it. Damn. Siver is scrappy and BJ looked like he did not belong in the last few fights. But Siver is coming from a long layoff, a suspension and looked bad at the weigh in. Though cut for sure.
BJ looks in shape for him (he will never be shredded, lets face it). Matchmaking has been terrible for him but this is a winnable fight.

BTW... Damn Guida looks TST!
 
2.5u on BJ Penn now :eek: never thought i would say that in 2017 lol

on his dec line too +545 still avaliable on betsafe
