You guys have convince me to stay away from Kape. He reminds me of Jordan Griffen. Gives up too many rounds, just does the bare minimum. Pass for me.
Interesting that all the media members had him winning. It came down to the third, and for 90% of the round he just kept eating clean hooks to the face. He didn't react at all due to his chin being granite, but those are clean sig strikes. With like 30 sec to go he landed a flying knee and opened up a bit, so im ok with him losing that round.Remember though that everyone thought Kape won his last fight, check the media scores. What would the odds be for Kape here if he didn't arguably get "robbed"?

“Oh shit hey Donald Trump”
I don’t necessarily think it’s the damage that’ll catch up to him as he really hasn’t taken an excessive amount despite his long career it’s more the fact he’s at the age where his reflexes and fast twitch muscles he’s so reliant on start to decline. As a Bobby Green fan I hate this fight for him and it really doesn’t make a lot of sense from a matchmaking perspective.

Simmons d3 wrestler . Munoz knows this. But the selling point for Munoz is his faster hands and nice kicks. He beat Nate madness imo if he didn't stop kicking him in the nuts. Munoz has good bjj too to keep Simmons from laying and praying.
Bad judging, Munoz had him down for 10 mins of the fight and out landed him in every round. Nate barely landed anything and was back pedaling. You’d think they’d give Munoz points for agression.The scorecards for that fight were 29-27 unanimous so even without the nut shots we would have lost 29-28. Maness is a better fighter than Simmons I would say, but Maness also got taken down easier than I think Simmons would.
You make an interesting point about the kicks, I do think Munoz is better at range.
It's hard to gauge Simmons striking because he was put against a long, rangey kickboxer Chikadze for his first fight who would KO Munoz as well most likely.
Lastly, isn't Simmons the bigger guy naturally or am I wrong? I want to see them at the weigh-ins.
think the fight will be close
Why?
Green is decent and can pull out impressive performances now and then but Fiziev is an animal and might be a future contender. I honestly think he beats most of the top 15 right now.
I tend to agree. I think this line is wide.I’ve got a unit on green ml +240

Green is solid all around. He could take Fiziev down. A lot of things can happen.Why?

You misunderstood again.
I never said Edgar would give him his toughest fight in the UFC. I was saying Jose Aldo did.
Tying in to the point 38 year old Frankie edged Pedro out, I think Jose will do so comfortable.
Sorry I guess he didn't say he would beat him but "toughest fight yet" is also laughable.
Either way, I think y'all underestimating my baby boy Luque. Dude's too dangerous imo
Is it really an advantage? Osbourne has a wrestling backgroundIn regards to Osbourne vs Kape, we could see Kape's chin get tested early here. Kape seems to be more of a slow starter, and Ode comes out strong right off the bat. Ode packs some power (he is moving down a weightclass[!]) but Kape has got a chin on him.
Kape's wrestling will be his biggest advantage, and hopefully he uses it early.
I remember Kelleher getting a pretty easy TD against him, I think Kape would be able to do the same.Is it really an advantage? Osbourne has a wrestling background
Yea he did. Going off memory I think his wrestling looked better than expected vs villarealI remember Kelleher getting a pretty easy TD against him, I think Kape would be able to do the same.
