I dont really rate beating Albini and the Ghost of Arvloski, who both looked awful in those fights.
Overeem is a few steps up from his previous competition, and has significantly better grappling chops. If this was to go past round 1, I think Overeems experience comes good.
Also, as someone...
WIll LB Diaz, liking Wonderboy, I think he will frustrate Luque. Also will likely bet Gillespie, he seems legit, and as others has mentioned, Lees cardio may not be up to scratch.
And he got taken down by Vettori. 3 times. I agree that people are maybe overestimating Izzys wrestling defense, just like I may be overestimating Whittakers wrestling offense.
The more I read into it, the more I like Schilling. As others have mentioned, if hes been working with Cerrone full time on developing his MMA game, hes a great dog.
Larkin I'm a little less sure of. He can be flaky at the best of times. Need to watch a little more tape.
So, we reach the conclusion I mentioned. That the striking matchup will be significantly closer than people think. I don't have an opinion either way outside of that.
Yeah, but I rate Mcgregors striking miles ahead of Masvidal. 'Decent boxing' vs one of the best strikers in the history of the UFC (I say that begrudgingly), all Im saying is the striking (in my opinion) will be significantly closer than what people are saying here.
Just because Dom says that...
Masvidal has fought a five rounder (and lost) once.
Again, Diaz beat Pettis 30-27, quite clear. If you want to argue a guy who didnt fight in 3 years didnt have ring rust, knock yourself out. To me, that is the definition of ring rust.
Agree to disagree here, and wait for the fight to happen. Will happily eat crow if Im wrong.
Also, look at the first round of their first fight, when Diaz came in on 7 days notice? Cool.
Come on, you cant be fading Mcgregors striking that much? He (statistically) outstruck McGregor both times, and 30-27'd Pettis despite the ring rust. I think he is somewhat competitive on the feet, but obviously the ground is his domain.
