Nice to see that you agree on Gordon. I'm big on him also. I saw him at -120 and thought he would be closer to the -200 range.
Fishgold might look okay for the first 5-7 minutes, but I think he is going to succumb to Jared's high pace. I'm only slightly concerned about a Fishgold early finish or an ugly more unlikely split decisiony type win. Although Gordon has been T(KO)ed in 3 of his last 4 fights, there's no shame in losing to Chucky Olives, CDF, and J. Silva to a lesser extent. Fishgold is not on any of those levels. Also now that I typed it out, he isn't Brazilian like the other 3 either lol. I'd easily take any 3 of them over Fishgold in a heartbeat. Anyway, like you said Fishgold only has 2 TKO wins. One against a 0-3 guy who has all losses by TKO and one to Marcin Wzrosek which came via gnp. Although Gordon might be chinny, I'm having a hard time seeing a FIshgold TKO here. As for a Fishgold sub... I firmly believe Gordon has the grappling chops to avoid one and check this one out - Damn near every opponent Fishgold has subbed has been subbed MULTIPLE times. Some with several sub losses. Like you said, he won't be getting many subs at this level.
Hell yeah. Also worth noting Silva literally tore Gordons hamstring off his pelvis at the end of round 2. He didn't tap, then came out rd3 completely immobile still trying to get the KO.
