Karolina Kowalkiewicz's decision line (+500) seems very wide there is definitely value imo. Lucindo is too low volume and lacks the punching power to cover this line.
A below average finisher yes.
Pereira went three years without finishing a UFC fight, four straight opponents, who after fighting him proceeded to get knocked out a collective 7 times.
I don't see how its even debatable tbh, based on the current evidence, but maybe he has turned a new leaf...
Pereira prior to the Petroski finish went over three years, four straight fights, without finishing an opponent. Those opponents since fighting Pereira, excluding Khaos Williams, have gone 4-7 collectively in the UFC and all 7 of those losses are knockout losses. So Pereira is literally the only...
Update: Took his first professional loss after death gassing against an enormous very durable opponent. He chased the finish in the first round, appeared close at times, but ultimately was not able to secure it despite his best efforts. Imo this is just a bump in the road and will serve him well...
The knockout was impressive imo because of the opponents frame, they are enormous for a 125er, and Lee still knocked them out with a single punch. The reason it matters in this spot imo is Makoto has never really had had striking defense to begin with and is now, for potentially the first time...
If Makoto doesn't get the fight to the ground he is going to get knocked out. His opponent Jung Hyun Lee is a very good striker, great athleticism, and fights with a lot of confidence.
clear dog or pass
You want time stamps of Lipski, who has not been taken down in her last three fights, getting back to her feet during her last three fights?
seriously?
You are making the error of presuming her getup game is the same as it was 3 years ago, which is the last time we saw her be put on her back, thats a faulty assumption imo given the clear gains she has made in her takedown defense.
There is no real way to be confident in either due to the...
I would not play her below +500 because there is a strong chance imo that she is at both a striking and grappling deficit. She is definitely going to be outmatched on the feet, by a wide margin, and will be similarly uncomfortable to how she was in her last fight due to the speed and...
Not by a longshot.
Padilla is the better grappler and Llontop demonstrated less than adequate takedown defense on the regionals against smaller fighters.
I don't expect Padilla to ultimately win but he definitely has a path to victory and its through takedowns, control, with GNP mixed in (he...
Oh I know, Hackett is for all intents and purposes drawing dead, I just meant this was the best option for an "incremental test" (even if not one at all in reality).
A fighter with a skillset similar to Maycee Barber could present problems imo is what I meant.
The only times Ditcheva has ever looked vulnerable imo were during cage wrestling sequences. Clinching her on the cage fence and winning minutes, and potentially rounds, off of control is really the only way to beat her without being a specialist.
Hackett displayed solid cage wrestling during...
Tagir Abdullabekov
PRO MMA RECORD
5-0
Abdullabekov is a 27 year old fighter on a five fight win streak. He is a naturally gifted athlete who can comfortably pick opponents apart on the feet or utilize his grappling to neutralize the offense of opponents. He is very much still a developing...
O'Malley would definitely be favored to beat Mix, theres absolutely no doubt about it, but that does not mean he would win or that it would not be competitive.
Topuria would be a massive favorite against all three (over -400).
Edwards would be a heavy favorite over both of them (over -300)...
Not a single one of these fighters is considered an all time great.
Real talk, Benavidez was the #2 guy during the infancy of a developing division, his skills are nothing special compared to the Flyweights of today.
Which one of these wins makes Benavidez at least the flyweight GOAT without...
I'm surprised the general sentiment is that the referee saved Haney from getting knocked out.
The cleanest punch Garcia landed the entire fight was the right hook in the 7th round, after a clinch break had been ordered, and while the referee was restricting Haney's movement; effectively...
