wasnt Perry only inactive in his last fight? or is it a recurring issuenot really but perry is so inactive and telegraphs his shots

Diego is a new fighter, the Lauzon fight changed him. He is going to look to wrestle and grind a lot more than he used to now, because he realized that he can't keep taking shots.

Not a chance, get ready for him to be like -200Do you guys think that Barberena might be the underdog again?

I disagree, Diego is the same guy he's always been, the Held fight was just a combination of the right circumstances. Held was a good style match up for Diego and the altitude in Mexico city favoured Diego heavily in that fight. Diego is a much better wrestler defensively than offensively, I don't think he'll take Iaquinta down.Diego is a new fighter, the Lauzon fight changed him.

Unfortunately, this "new" Diego isn't necessarily a better fighter. And if he can't get the takedowns then he will be in trouble
That's true but Proctor hasn't fought in over a year and coming off a first round tko loss. Barberena's W over Alves was a statement, his stock went up that night but of course he was still a dog vs a top prospect like Covington. Proctor has never beaten anyone good, I just can't see him being favoured over Barberena unfortunately.Please no... I still have hope, because Bryan is very underrated and he has been the underdog in all his ufc fights
Would it really be that surprising if Alvey lands the better shots throughout three rounds and wins a decision? Or even gets a KO for that matter (I'm aware that Leites has never been knocked out)...I remember that Boetsch had Leites in trouble a couple of times. Leites is superior on the ground of course but Alvey has solid TDD...and for all his faults he does throw with some real power. Leites will have to watch out for that counter right.
You're right, he could definitely stay on the outside and outpoint Leites, I need to watch tape but I think Leites will have better striking and much better grappling. Alvey is very low output too and I just have no confidence in him winning.

I wanted to bet Diego in this fight cause he's such a big dog and I know Al Iaquinta is coming off a layoff, injury and the contract issues. But Diego looks like he has his own problems, seemed a lot healthier heading into the Held fight.
leites has much better bjj but are his takedowns really that great? he looked miserable trying to take down jotko. he took down camozzi easily but chris has a gaping hole in that area of his game.
i can see this fight playing out on the feet and i really have no idea who wins it. alvey's output is diabolical and leites looks to land bombs.
Call me crazy guys but i think Lobov takes it.

Has he got that much power? He's never really put anyone out in his whole career, big ask for him to do it now against a guy who's only been KO'd once in 31 fights, and that was to a prime José Aldo.He has a puncher's chance, and that's it. Cub is significantly better in EVERY area of MMA. The two thing you can clearly say are positives for Lobov are that he has power and that he (evidently) has good sub defense (surviving that long with Ryan Hall on your back isn't easy). Otherwise Cub is just light years better.
