What is Ferguson's path to victory? Just can't see another outcome than Khabib taking him down and having his way with him. Can't see Ferguson preventing the take down.
About time to post a thread I thought since it's the event after the next one. Arguably this years most anticipated fight in Ferguson - Nurmagomedov.
I think Felder @ +120 vs. Iaquinta is interesting. Felder with three wins in 2017 (all finishes with elbows, damn). Iaquinta with a win over Sanchez almost a year ago and before that had a two year lay off. Hard to know where Iaquinta stands as the fight ended with a quick KO. Before that Iaquinta won a controversial split decision over Masvidal in 2015; almost all the media scored it for Masvidal.
On ufc 209 I was very confident in Tony but right now Im switching to Khabib. He is a monster and I cant forget how Kevin Lee mounted Tony.. if he could than Khabib will that too
There’s a huge difference in fighting as 1.5 favourite or as 3.0 underdog. Ferguson last fought as underdog against RDA and it was a very different approach than against Vannata, Barboza or Lee. It could work well for him as motivator to fight smart, not just to impress.A fair point for sure. Tony makes mistakes off his back when he's too aggressive.
But...despite Lee landing solid gnp Tony jumped right up at the bell and was clearly the fresher of the two guys. His durability and cardio are insane, and have to be taken into account.
Odds are gonna get even better for Ferguson as the fight draws near....I may make my first bet of the year here.
I think you could wait 2 rounds before betting LBing Ferguson, honestly. That's what I plan on doing, anyway.odds could get really good on ferguson in the first two and a half minutes after being taken down.
and those odds would be really good on ferguson if he survived the first round suffereing minimal damage
Lauzon should win this, he will be bigger and have the grappling advantagethere i was hoping gruetzmacher would be +300.

Agree, I'm taking some Gruetzemacher +140. He looked good standing against Davi Ramos and Lauzon looked so fucking shot in his last fight against GuidaI don't think I can trust Lauzon as a favorite as this point...I think he's pretty much done. He could easily have been 1-4 in his last five (Held was robbed). His last really decisive win was over the corpse of Diego Sanchez.
Tony escaped the mount and recovered to guard before the bell rang too. Just rewatched that ending, Lee did not land many clean shots at all, Tony took most of them on his forearmsA fair point for sure. Tony makes mistakes off his back when he's too aggressive.
