Will watch.
 
Don't know Ike but if he's fighting a guy like big Sherm he's prolly gonna win
 
Also, this fight is May 13th, not at 249.


Unless the thread title is missing a comma. Ike Villanueva talks UFC 249, Debut against Chase Sherman.

Villanueva's a scrappy guy with reasonably fast hands, but on the other hand he's a blown up middleweight who was a bit chubby at LHW, very hittable, getting dropped multiple times in recent fights. And now he's facing a true heavyweight in Chase Sherman who last weighed in at 250 pounds and who has sharpened his boxing skills in recent MMA and bare knuckle boxing fights. I think Sherman's size and straighter punches will be a major problem for his fast but loopy punching and Villanueva's getting KOed.
 
Been too long...

Yeah, I can't see much for Ike beyond 0-2 and cut to be honest. He'll lose this then get fed to someone like Khalil Rountree at 205lbs.
 
Luck sent to ya from NYC
 
title is very misleading, didn't see them weigh in today lol then seen the comments above.
 
Shermans chin is straight up in the air always, so I guess anyone can put him out cold if they land clean, even a MW like Villanueva
