UFC 250

I invest in the report button instead ‍♂️ Threads would be better without this guy's pointless spam that never contains any level of reasoning. Add the fact he wastes space because he can't understand Units and half of each thread becomes needlessly skippable. It puts legit cappers off being here, we'll be better off once he's gone
It would be amazing to clean these threads up. I've tried and even pleaded with other posters to just not engage, but ppl cant help themselves (myself included). I can only ignore for now but I wish ppl would take a hint and at least TRY and not be so annoying. Unfortunately saying that, they only get worse.

This is why we have to report users who waste space. The solution isn't to ignore them because then they'll just keep talking nonsense, it's to forcibly remove their ability to post in threads

Baseless calls with nothing to back them up. Even when you try to reason (as opposed to "X is motivated therefore he'll smoke Y"), statements like "Good wrestling and decent stand up should give him a win against old Formiga" are so simplistic and lacking in substance that not only do they not help anybody make an informed decision, they don't even give enough detail for anybody to have a discussion.

You provide nothing of value yet take up half of all threads. This is the last comment I'm making on the topic because I don't want to waste space like you do, but I implore anyone who sees these comments to report Wiktoruspro so the threads can actually be about MMA discussion again
 
Really starting to lean Garbrandt. UFC likes him. Theyve given him a perceived pillow fisted opponent, can he capitalize? Hoping for -130ish or better to find out but he should have speed and power advantage. He has good boxing, new coach to fight calmer? Hard to say

Dunham probably has better than a +220 shot. Burns was pick em in his last fight and is pretty inexperienced

I like Formiga usually but this is a tough one. Already expressed Hooper confidence. Ive never really rated Magny but hes a level above Martin isnt he?
 
I like the Garbrandt by dec. prop x 4.33, Assuncao has only been KO'd once and I am thinking Garbrandt will take a bit more cautious approach this time (yeah wishful thinking lol). I think Garbrandt will win more often by dec. than by KO.

Yeah. Was actually thinking that the other day, hoping the GTD'd be like +200 or something. Garbrandt/Munhoz was actually pretty slow paced for the first 3 minutes before they went apeshit.
 
Love the over 1.5 rounds at -150 for main event, Spenser is tough as hell went the distance with Cyborg, ate some big shots and never dropped.

over 2.5 is 1.85

dont like it at all, Nunes punches harder than anyone and finishes most opponents in round 1, I don't care how tough Spenser is if she gets hit flush a couple of times on the chin she is going down. Nunes round 1 x 3.4 is a much nicer bet imo. also nunes to win in rds 1,2, or 3 x 1.7 is ncie.

Nunes has historically been essentially R1 finish or bust, too. Pennington was R5, but mostly happened since Pennington's eye exploded since Nunes' volume wasn't really doing a hell of a lot.
 
Sandhagen/Aljo is really interesting. I think Sandhagen can make Aljo uncomfortable on the feet with his persistent jab and volume. He can slip a lot of what Aljo throws with his hands and Aljos kicks are relatively meaningless for damage. On the flip side I think Aljo can put Cory in TERRIBLE spots on the ground.

Agreed. That is one of the most exciting fights on the card.

Might be tough to get Cory on the ground though in the first place and these two may elect to stand and bang. Also, apparently Sandhagen doesn't have bones in his arms because he somehow escaped an armbar from the 3rd circle of hell a few fights back.

Gonna be a badass fight though. 100 pct.

Tony martins game has always been pressure, clinch, takedown. His striking is C level and his cardio isnt that great. The biggest knock on tony is that he seems set with his style. We havent seen any expansion or improvements in his approach to fighting except his cardio, which was even worse when he was at LW.


Magny on the other hand does keep improving. Magny will also have a S E V E N inch reach advantage going into the fight. Magny is the better striker. Magny is stronger. Bigger. Magny has faced much better competition than Tony, and I cant believe Magny is only -130 on some books.


Magny is a guy im all in on.

There is a reason bookie gives you 4.33 for decision, Broe. Garbrandt has 9 wins by KO and only 2 by decision. And when we take away the outlier of a performance vs Cruz, he didn't look impressive over old and unathletic Briones. Or in the Brimage fight, until that knockout. He's not a round winner, he can't control the distance or the pace of the fight, which is essential if you wanna win decisions. If he had giant athletic advantage or wrestling advantage it would be different. He can't stay on the outside and win decision like Sandhagen, not against Assuncao. KO or bust.

All in for a guy who's already a favourite and he's not exactly fighting a can is not too wise. I'll steal a comment under the video UFC top finishes: Magny Magny is a mid-level boss fight in the UFC, massive stepping stone. You better come prepared. Your average welterweight doesn't beat Magny. It's usually a guy with a very special toolset, or some A-level athlete who can just overwhelm him with power. Rocco is neighter, but he's still very good fighter. All I'm saying is I like Magny, but I like him more as an underdog or at pick em at least.

I think you are a bit biased against Rocco Martin... Magny has more “tools” such as his size, experience, and possibly cardio... However, Magny has been a top 10 gatekeeper for a while for a good reason. Rocco is relentless compared to Magny and if he has any success chopping his legs, it’s Roccos fight to win. I think Rocco is more motivated to win because Magny is the gatekeeper while Rocco has a chance to break into the top 10-15
 
I would say that Sterling is the better grappler and has the advantage there but Sandhagen isn't a fish out of water, he spend most of round two against Assuncao in grappling transitions, even had his back taken at points and he survived and reversed and got into good positions himself at times.

Sterling maybe a little more tricky to deal with on the mat doe to his long limbs but Assuncao has excellent grappling and Sandhagen will have only improved since then.

Does anyone know the actual factual details of how Sterling has been training during quarantine? New York was tight on lock down from what I understand? He looks in amazing shape but I'm curious if it's had any effect.

Apparently Ray Longo will not be in Sterlings corner for this fight due to his concerns about Coronavirus, this leads me to think he probably hasn't spent much time in the gym with him either, but that is speculation on my part.

Sandhagen we know has been at a great camp through out with consistent training being at Elivation who are on a great run of wins
 
This is a little scary for me too having him in both of my big parlays heading into this weekend but Clark's gastank isn't exactly amazing either. Alonzo also seems to pick his shots pretty well and not throw literally everything into them. Clark's defense isn't stellar and I liked the tape against Craig watching Alonzo sprawl when he went for the takedowns. His are obviously nowhere near as good as Clark's but the size differential should be pretty massive. I then look back to the way he fought Ryan Spann and he just seemed really terrified of getting lit up and not really bringing the fight to him. Spann trains with Alonzo as well if I am correct and Alonzo has been fighting for 10 years now so its not like he's got some shit for brains IQ. I could be justifying my own play on Alonzo though so any thoughts on this fight are super welcome at the moment and appreciate the post.
Watch Meinfeld/Jolly and Clark/Rodriguez.
