is public so high on zahabi because he is firas's brother?
Is Volkanovski really on this card??? UFC.com has him listed but sherdog doesn't have him listed and a line for him obviously hasn't been released.
I'm 2-0 on people named Volkan so far I'd like to make it 3-0. But I suppose I still gotta check out who this Quinones guy is.
Interesting. Lombard just got viciously knocked out by Hendo, is probably off the juice, only really has 1.5 rounds in his tank before he slows down to a snails pace, and hasn't finished someone since 2013. Yeah Hendricks has looked like crap but it's been against Magny, Lawler, Wonderboy, and Kelvin
Yeah I thought so. The o1.5 threw me off initially and I realized this wasn't supposed to be the main event so I wasn't sure
Right but look at the Magny fight- he couldn't finish it, gassed, and Magny took advantage. Hendricks isn't a cardio machine like Magny but how fresh do you expect Lombard to be if Hendricks is able to take him down and ride him til the end of the round? Again, both have red flags. But lombards is a lot bigger imo and he's a favorite so yeahlombard almost killed both magny and henderson before getting stopped himself
getting kod by hendo last year is nothing to be ashamed of. even at his advanced age dan was still able to ko boetsch and almost stopped bisping.
Well, i don't think we will see Hendricks worse at MW unless he just doesn't give a fuck about fighting anymore. He was very obviously draining himself way too much at 170.
And I can actually argue Lombard is very predictable. He's not going to be a cardio machine in this fight. Hendricks, for all his flaws and boring style, can still take a punch and has one of the best wrestling pedigrees to fall back on (I acknowledge it hasn't completely translated into MMA, but still).
Can anyone find Gavin Tucker's fights? Hate newcomers who are hard to find tape on. Thinking Sicilia could be a good dog when Tucker beats nothing but bums, but need to see him fight.
Have you found his fights?The kid is a killer. Great ground game, good killer instinct and isnt afraid to mix it up. Wont be surprised if he finishes Scillia. Scillia being promoted to Brimage's spot of being fed to dangerous up and comers.
Hendricks is just a predictable theoretically. He's going to be fat,
Even though it's a weight class up, because he's going to eat like crap and not take his camp seriously. Hendricks, can take a punch but he has no power in delivering punches. And his wrestling has gone to crap.
I'm not advocating Lombard but I'm not sure how anyone is acting like Jonny is a sure bet.
Look at the weigh ins- Hendricks doesn't look flabby, he just looks like his body won allow him to make 170 anymoreHendricks is just a predictable theoretically. He's going to be fat,

What is your point? No bet is a sure bet. Given what we know and the odds presented to us Hendricks is the smart pick.
Best video i found of him. Nothing on fight pass. Seems to be a short powerhouse with nasty hands and great Bjj. Not gonna put anything on Sam here.Can anyone find Gavin Tucker's fights?

Are you sure you watched tape about the right guy? No disprespect but Ricci is a bum. He is 34 and his last 9 fights went to a decision. Kennedy walked him down Glenn style easily and kicked his ass. You have to grind Felder or be a better striker than him to beat him. Ricci is not even close to that. Everything Ricci does plays into Felder's strengths. It's a gimme fight for Felder to get him back on track.I'm on Ricci at +275 for 1.1u.
This is going to be a close fight. The way I see it is Felder is the more athletic guy, and might be able to hug on the fence due to being physically stronger and solid experience in that area recently against guys like Trinaldo and Burkman. But Ricci has serious value. He is likely going to throw more volume, Felder is a great style for him (guy who is likely to stand in the center and doesn't have very good footwork), I think his fight IQ is higher, his accuracy is higher, and his defense is better. I'm actually really impressed with Ricci's defense, hes not a guy whos easy to land a powerful shot on at all.
I can't believe Felder is this juiced, and I pray no one in here is going to play him loll. I'm not expecting a big difference from ml to Ricci by decision when the over is -270, but i'll consider adding if there is. Felder is not going to have an easy fight at all here, I think this reeks of split decision and I like Ricci's chances of squeeking it out via cleaner shots landed and likely more volume too.
I would be pretty surprised if Felder dominated this. Kennedy was a horrible matchup for Ricci, he was more athletic and was able to just get right into Ricci's face all fight. I think he could prob do the same to Felder. Don't overvalue an over rated fighter like Felder, -365 is waaayyy off imoAre you sure you watched tape about the right guy?
