UFC 275: Teixeira vs. Procházka

I have a very hard time seeing Allen, Kape, and Jiri losing. All likely win by stoppage, too.
 
I don't see why people are so high on Jiri. He gets tagged a lot and we don't really know what his ground game is like. It's probably not very good. We don't know what he will look like in the later rounds. His second fight with King Mo went to the 3rd and he looked borderline gassed. He is young (for LHW), aggressive, athletic, and has power.

I have also doubted Glover repeatedly in recent years and I think it's the bias we tend to have against older fighters. If we're being objective, I don't think he has ever looked better.

If Jiri doesn't finish in the first 2 rounds and slows down I can easily see Glover landing a takedown and slicing through him like butter.

It’s been a long time since Glover won that belt. He’s so slow now. I just cannot see how Jiri loses this if he isn’t taken down within the forst couple of minutes….

Long time inbetween fights for old guys is probably a good thing. Reminds me of when Hopkins was boxing in his 40s. Glover has been slow for a while now.

Because he’s an actual fuckin samurai - that said, agree with your analysis

Bontorin is really underrated. Bibulatov is a great win. He was dominating Kara France early on. His fight with Royval was razor close. imo this is very close to a coinflip fight.

Tend to agree Allen feels like a lock, but I thought he was a lock against Curtis too...

Jiri/Glover is going to be obvious in retrospect. Either Jiri blows through him, or old man Glover weathers the storm and finishes him on the ground.

imo line is accurate on Jiri/Allen. Kape is overpriced.

The Curtis/Allen line was more people not respecting Curtis than anything else. He's always been a very good fighter.

Bontorin has a very good chance if he can get Kape down, but I'm not sure that will be easy.

Curtis' win over Hawes, while strong on paper, was also perceived as extremely flukey.
 
Someone want to explain why Culibao is a 2-1 dog here? His lone loss is up a weight class to a very good fighter. He went to war with Jourdain, and handled his last opponent (who is a decent wrestler) with ease his last fight.

I can’t explain a lot of these lines but these juice lords have been getting lucky the last few weeks on them
 
I don't call many plays locks, but the main event not going the distance is as close to it as you can get in MMA. DK sadly had it at -500 at last check, but I actually thought it would be higher. I see no scenarios where this can possibly go a full five.

Only speaking to the Ngannou/Gane bout, lots of people picked Gane.. and by decision. If he was the one that was going to win, almost everyone felt it'd go all five. The Lewis fight, OK. This fight, no shot.

And there's plenty of people saying one's gonna get KO'd quickly, and the other's chin isn't great.. so not sure what to say.

Gone over my notes on Bontorin and I think his output on the feet is very low and probably will allow Manel to fight at a comfortable pace.

Don’t get me wrong I think this fight goes a max of 2 but -500 is grody

Goes without saying Bontorin can't win without a takedown.

Why’s the forum so quiet these days? It’s a shame. I love this card for betting and watching.

anybody see Zhang losing? I can’t

Well I still think Joanna is a better figther and can out point her in 3 rounds but how serious did she train for this fight? This is my main concern.

I know Chinese mentality. I bet Zhang trained her ass off for this fight.
