There's a chance that beast actually comes in with a strategy and looks to tie hunt up against the cage and put him on his back.

Wouldn't be wise to play the striking game with hunt

The over might be the smartest play here

Over is good for me too

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, but are you implying that chins can 'heal' back? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of scientific consensus about the myth of the chin, so I doubt anyone in this thread can either deny or confirm that. When people generally talk about chins it's just a whole bunch of layman's inference.

What I can say is that every punch that lands is a different scenario. Different velocity/shape/angle/weight, did the fighter see it coming or not, genetics, perhaps things like weight-cutting, etc. Implying Crocop's chin somehow got better again because he started racking up wins after his UFC stint, is circumstantial evidence at best, and that's still kinda stretching it. Might simply be a case of the right punch not landing on him post-UFC.

I also think people tend to overrate the idea of having a 'good or bad' chin, imo it's much more a defensive issue, than a genetic one. Nobody is supposed to take trauma to their brains, anyone will eventually get hurt by a punch. Arlovski got put put out cold by Fedor because he took a calculated risk (which exploded in his face) by running face first into the overhand of a very explosive, very dangerous mofo. Against both Sergei and Rogers he backed up in a straight line with his back against the fence. Those are all much more examples of bad fight IQ, nobody should rely on the perceived strength of their chin against heavy hitters like that.

Same goes for fighters like Pat Barry, makes for super exciting fights though!

I'm saying what you're saying..it's volatility for the most part..that is until you literally cannot take anything without getting dropped flat.
 
Pearson as a dog against Hooker doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Sure Pearson has been racking up some losses but its against top 155ers. Hooker is Pearson's easiest opponent since Sam Stout. You can't compare Daniel Hooker to Brooks, Masvidal and Ray. At worst this is a close fight for Ross.

Aldrich vs Jeon
I'm impressed with Aldrich, she has a pressure heavy game, high volume, and great movement. A complete game. Struggles with wrestlers, but based on Jeon's record I doubt thats her gameplan. I couldn't find any tape on Jeon. Aldrich is a very tough debut fight for anybody(let alone short notice), so I'm very cofident in Aldrich. Jeon's only 19 and beat a couple cans.
Result: Aldrich, lean decision because WMMA but I wouldn't be suprised if she finishes.

Unless JJ is placing lead in those gloves the odds on her KO'g anybody should be 100/1

True, I was thinking more a rear naked choke or maybe TKO(although those girls cant stay in mount for more then 10 seconds.)

Lol @ chan mi jeon fights. At 19 she def has some potential, but just lol @ these opponents and fights.

Aldrich sucks so bad though. Might put o2.5 in my round robin, nothing else worth entertaining

I'm absolutely loving the o2.5. Jeon showed solid composure and sub defense against that ridiculously tall Chinese guard specialist. She also seems to never go for submissions herself, constantly pitter-pattering ground and pound. Aldrich has very good composure as well, and should be able to deal with it. Both have nothing in the way of power on the feet. Would be shocked to see a KO. Playing it for 2u now... only thing stopping me from going bigger is Jeon's inexperience.

Went ahead and parlayed Moraga and Steele, both their opponents are terrible and have big holes in their games but it's hard to feel confident when you're betting on John Moraga and Dom Steele. Always regret a loss but I'll regret it more here because I know I shouldn't bet guys like Moraga and Steele.

Granted I only did a quick search but couldn't find much that felt relevant, and I'm not gonna place a bet based on fights that took place years ago.
 
Confused about several things:

Firstly, how do debuting fighters typically fair in their first UFC bouts? Several on the card here, case by case for sure but I'm guessing there's a general trend. In this instance we're looking at Chan-Mi Jeon, Ashkan Mokhtarian and Luke Jumeau

Second, how much of an advantage is it fighting in your hometown? Does this make any difference whatsoever? Here we're talking Dan Hooker, Luke Jumeau and Mark Hunt

Third, and perhaps most importantly, I've noted of late that fighters coming back from long layoffs tend to be... well... shit. Specifically Nico Musoke and Jessica Aguilar, but I'm sure there are others as well. Is this a common trend in MMA fighters regardless of how good they are (excluding Dominick Cruz), and if so, how much time between fights should scream alarm bells? Again, a couple fighters on this card affected by this, namely Kiichi Kunimoto and Vinc Pichel
 
Guys like Jameau and Mokhtarian are only fighting because they are local, neither have any business being in the UFC, they can't wrestle and they suck.

WOAH NOW

Let's not pretend like Aussies are local to New Zealand. Cunts get stabbed for even inferring that over here

Well Jameau is local but Mokhtarian is not, my bad. I'm with you, people calling Australians New Zealanders and vice versa is super disrespectful, someone needs to educate these fools.
