Anders pressure? Like he did to Machida? I don't believe in Anders pressure...Its a tough case for Elias to point fight this dude for 3 rounds. Anders gonna put that pressure and imo score enough to edge the scores. As far as finishing chances I think we can all agree that Elias finishing Anders would be a shocker. Anders gas tank is not a concerned to me. Thiago had him rocked and smacked to the body, other than that his gas tank has looked good.
Anders and Max lines seem to good to be true rn.
Theodorou kind of struggled with Kelly and Smith, two old guys that aren't athletic or dangerous.
Anders looking in great shape at the weigh ins, saying all the right things in interviews.
I think if Ander's comes out and does what he says he's gonna do, he'll win this fight
He pressured against Santos, so there's that. He's still very green so you should expect improvements from earlier fightsFighters always do what they say they’re going to do.
Forget what they’ve actually done in previous fights. That’s irrelevant
For me this match up all comes down to how Anders performs, he hasn't been consistent. Theodorou tries to do the same thing every fightFighters always do what they say they’re going to do.

It builds my confidence that he's acknowledged in multiple interviews that he needs a decisive win in Canada and he needs have higher volume.
If Anders fights like he says he will then I think he wins
Meant to say rocked obviously. I'm fully aware he was never KO'd my pic is literally of Edgar. He was getting hurt like mad all the way back fighting guys like Gray Maynard then countless times since vs Benson Henderson, Stephens etc. He always had a good chin but it was ability to just survive no matter what while hurt that was actually notable, same thing defending subs like that kneebar in his debut. He was always vulnerable but never quit.Frankie Edgar was never KO’d or TKO’d in his entire career until Ortega did it. How could you not have known or heard that fact already? It’s been stated dozens of times by every analyst under the sun.
Pretty sure Till Woodley was close to even for memory, Bisping GSP too was pretty even.5d has the fight at -110 for a bit now. I can't remember the last time I saw even money on a main event. Anybody with a better memory remember? Maybe Aldo/Mcgregor?
I hear you on his stance problems and movement, but to say he’s not athletic? Gotta disagree, clearly both guys know what they gotta do, I just think Elias running away tapping anders here and there for a win is less likely than anders either wrestling, or pressuring and getting a stoppage or a decison.Anders' stance is too hunched and just plain not athletic. You can't close the distance fast enough and cut the cage off on opponents with that stance. Not only that, you have to throw some punches to make them give up real estate, it's a multy prong approach. His stance is too defensive for to be used to pressure.
so many, garbarandt/dillashaw 1 and 2, till vs woodley, romero vs whittaker, thompson/till, ngannou/miocic etc.5d has the fight at -110 for a bit now. I can't remember the last time I saw even money on a main event. Anybody with a better memory remember? Maybe Aldo/Mcgregor?
His stance is not athletic, not him. His stance is not good for sudden bursts, quick movements to either side, he pretty much can't use kicks in that stance too, it's just not balanced.I hear you on his stance problems and movement, but to say he’s not athletic?
Yep, hoping the main event will be epic. the main card is sunday afternoon in my time zone around dinner and putting kids to bed time. I told my wife I have a work meeting so am going to the pub where there are no distractionsAnyone else got butterflies for the fights, or something like it? This card has got me pretty anxious.
