UFC Fight Night - Waterson vs Rodriguez.. Maybe? Offical discussion

I question Ribas fight IQ after her last fight. The path to her victory is clear: Taker Hill down and win. But I have a feeling she might again decide to keep it standing and lose this time on points.
 
  • Zarrukh Adashev (125.5) vs. Ryan Benoit (129)

    * fight is off.

I'm not going to lie, I haven't taped Rodriguez that much. I will in the next few days.

Does she fade in r3 at all? Or does she always finish strong?

I need to go back and rewatch her fights with Torres/Aguilar/Carla.

I remember Carla taking her down repeatedly, but can't remember how her gas tank was.

Marina's cardio is very good; she doesn't tire at all, even when being taken down and kept there for long periods of time. Which she will need against Waterson, whose own cardio is good as well. I definitely missed the window of opportunity here. Rodriguez was worth a play at around -160, if not a big one, but at over -200, there's not quite enough value for my liking given how tough and smart Waterson is, and a few questions about Rodriguez.

what the hell happened to Tafon Nchukwi, I don't recognize his face at all ? Is this the same guy lol?
 
yeah, even when he was walking to weight ins and faceoffs seemed to me kinda off. (Tafon)
 
Damn, I'm big on Gregor, and Fereirra missing weight by 4.5lbs is huge.

If he tried his heart out to cut to at least 157 and couldn't continue, that would be one thing.

But this seems like one of those, "I'm not going to make weight, might as well not drain myself any further".

Not sure what to think here, either. Part of me says, damn that's a big difference. The other part of me thinks there could be less wrestling than we expect, and that Gregor will outstrike him.

I feel it's more this guy is going to tenaciously pursue me so I'm coming in without depleting myself at all

He looked rough though. His coaches helped him off the stage. I put money down on him but wondering if I should cash out after this...
 
Park had staph eh.

Also I had no idea Daukaus was that much taller than Hawes.

Some interesting twists here.
