UFC Fight Night: Hall vs. Silva

[piglord]

Fair point, but Fili tends to accept scrambles when grappling exchanges are forced on him. He's a pretty competent grappler himself, just not on Bryce's level. But I think Fili has some hubris and won't try to avoid any grappling like the plague (which should be his strategy).

Fili for sure is the better striker, no question. But Mitchell will know it and will sell out to force grappling on Andre imo.

yeah about the strategy part, one of my rules is that when i'm betting against a tenacious grappler, i always want my fighter to have rock solid fight iq - which i can't say about fili who just go into a blood and guts war with an opponent that has no takedown defense.

i do think fili is live stylistically but it's probably a reluctant pass for me.

What about Dustin Jacoby?

like jacoby to chop the flat earther's leg to pieces. i parlayed him with hernandez last week when the prices on both were more reasonable.

I think fili is a good dog but haven't made my mind up yet. Shades of cub vs kron. Maybe fili by dec?

Casey, strickland, green, holland (i know he isn't the most reliable but i don't think highly of muradov at all) and hardy should roll imo, have them on a small parlay.

Anderson vs hall is most likely going to be a boring sparring match but 5 rds is a lot of time. I don't see anderson getting a finish tbh, could possibly win a dec. It's either hall by ko or fgtd for me, but i think ill skip.

Next week i really like stephens as a dog vs allen. I think allen is good but stephens current streak doesn't do him justice. He' s still a tough fucker, always dangerous. Maybe im just a sucker for stephens at dog odds tho.

I don't know. Looks like one of those tricky cards for betting. No clear locks. Even Mr Greene might win against Hardy.

Kevin Holland is almost lock of the night IMO. Biggest bet in the card so far.

Lol he is far from a ,,lock" because Muradov has good output and can win a decision here.

Avatar bet. His output is .3 strikes higher per minute than Holland with a worse gas tank. Holland is an inch taller with a 6” reach advantage plus more experience facing tougher competition. Holland via sub or dec is my prediction.

I don't know about the out pointing, Muradov is pretty damn technical. Also, Holland reverted back a bit to his old ways in the last fight. He remains unreliable to me.

muradov is technical for sure but i like the 5 inch reach advantage and chin of holland. Muradov is mostly boxing based as well and is susceptible to leg based attacks.

I see Holland controlling the pace of the fight and taking the fight to the ground if he senses he can't win on the feet.

I'd agree

If you've watched most of KHs fights you'd understand he's never a lock against anybody. Sure he might win but a 'lock'? Even his last fight was enough to do that alone.

Don't be surprised if he makes you sweat your bet to a 29-28 victory.

Wouldn't surprise me lol

Can Cortney,,brick fight IQ" Cassey lose against this bum Priscilla?

What interesting he said ?

 

[chaimer]

How likely that we see Maurice Greene get KO'd by Hardy?

 

[Monster Meat]

Hardy is going to dominate

 

[Sono07]

What interesting he said ?

Fili thinks his grappling is better than Mitchell's. He said don't be surprised if he shoots for TD's.

 

[Red_2]

How likely that we see Maurice Greene get KO'd by Hardy?

Ah judging by his villante performance I'd say extremely likely.

I don’t think Fili’s overall grappling is better than Mitchell’s, but I do think that he might be able to land a brief takedown or two. It wouldn’t be my gameplan for him, but he has decent wrestling that is largely fueled by speed and timing, so I can see where he’s coming from. Obviously striking is where he should have the advantage though.

As fantastic as Mitchell has looked on the mat, I’m still not quite sure just how strong of a wrestler he is. I really like watching him go to work in the mat, but I pulled the trigger on Fili @ +145, hoping his defensive wrestling will be enough. I just can’t see a strong case for capping this as anything but 50/50. The small octagon is a legitimate concern though.

Reminder, we're in the small cage for the rest of the year
