What do you guys think?
These are all pretty close.
‘Missed Weight’ Alves, aka Prime Alves, was a tough match for anyone. He was fast, hyper aggressive, and probably on some South Florida OJ. Usman and Colby would be tougher matches. Woodley wasn’t that dominant, he kept a lot of his opponents in fights, and didn’t use all that many takedowns. I could see this fight going, either way.
Kos destroys Till. It’d be very similar to the Woodley fight. Kos was fast and powerful. Underrated trash talk, too. Not witty in a Chael way, but very dick-ish. I’m sure it would grate on Til.
Fitch vs Colby Is hard to call. Similar fighters, but Fitch was a top fighter for a long time. We’ll find out a lot about Colby in his next fight.
Shields is a better grappler and wrestler than Nelson, inside of the cage and on the mat. He’s beat a much higher level of competition, than Edwards. Shields works him.
Maia destroys Hardy. Less than a RD.
Diaz vs Wonderboy, is closer than people think. I’d favor WB, but in his prime, Diaz was an amazingly gritty fighter. People will point to his fight with Condit, as a measuring stick. But, Condit was able to work angles and counter Diaz, and kept his guard really high. I’m sure WB would have a similar game plan, but Nick would keep coming forward. And if you come forward long enough, you’ll catch a guy, with his hands low, at some point.
These would all be fun fights. I’d love to see them all in a simulation.
