What's the craziest most unexpected thing to happen this weekend no one sees coming? O'Malley losing? Topuria being submitted? Zhumagulov losing outright?
Massive disagree in regards to Sean's lack of power. The three opponents that made it to the distance with him have a combined 27 losses, and of those losses only 1 came via TKO, it being a retirement.
Add to that the fact that Kris has only lost via finish so far, not to mention that he's coming in on short-notice, and it paints the clear picture of what this fight is. If you can get stopped by Cupcake Campbell you can get stopped by Suga' Sean.

Topuria by sub imo. Then again, a club and sub isn't out of the question I suppose.What's the craziest most unexpected thing to happen this weekend no one sees coming? O'Malley losing? Topuria being submitted? Zhumagulov losing outright?
I get it, but that's pretty much my point - Kris is getting hurt by lesser guys than O'Malley, and, for all his faults, Sean is accurate and possesses better shot selection than your run-of-the-mill CES guys.I take your point.
Kris has been subbed twice and has two losses by TKO. The first TKO occured against Tony Gravely (UFC BW) in championship rounds; Sean and Kris are not going to championship rounds so you can take that for whats its worth.
The Campbell "TKO" of Moutinho was not actually a TKO. The referee, while Moutinho had top position waved off the fight because Campbell was elbowing Moutinho and the ref maybe thought Moutinho was concussed because he had been dropped a minute prior; but Moutinho nonetheless still had regained a dominant position when the fight was called off? It was an inappropriate stoppage, one that would not have been made in the UFC.
That was part of the reason why I said Moutinho may be able to go to the distance with Sean. Moutinho is very good at recovering if he is dropped. The fight after the Johnny Campbells "TKO" he was dropped in the first minute or two of the fight and managed to regain his composure and knocked his opponent out in the second round.
Im not bullish on Moutinho/O'Malley going the distance I just thought it was something that is being undervalued. Especially if Moutinho gets the fight to the floor.
But how can you say anybody is easy money when both fighters themselves have been nothing but easy money if you bet against them? I mean, is the argument who's the easiest money of the easy money? Lol.
I'm just kidding, but only partially.

McGregor gets DQd for a Tyson-style ear bitemcgregor by decision
Why though? Honestly asking.Before the fight card Topuria is trash talking back to Ryan Hall i am not sure Trash Talking and disrespecting Ryan Hall would be a good thing.
I wouldn't be that surprised if he got injured somewhere along the way and lost.
Why though? Honestly asking.
If anything it may only enhance Ilia's chances since it might make Hall be more aggressive and leave more openings for him to land something big. Not that I think Ryan's feathers will be ruffled, mind you.
I really can't see Hall giving a shit. Hall doesn't even have an ego. If anything he downplays himself.
I think Hall has the UFC experneice and Topuria trash talking to Hall like this before the fight card is not something i would have done if i were fighting i mean Topuria has just two wins in the UFC.I honestly for no reason other than that fact that Hall has been so widely dodged as a matchup recently, I think he smokes Topuria. Can't call anything technical about it. Just a gut feeling out of nowhere.
Thank you now you have me worried about the main even becoming a DQ lol.McGregor gets DQd for a Tyson-style ear bite
I think Omari, Yana , and Niko will be the sleeper picks.What's the craziest most unexpected thing to happen this weekend no one sees coming? O'Malley losing? Topuria being submitted? Zhumagulov losing outright?
Been watching film of Moutinho and I don't think he is as bad as most of the folks breaking down this fight have been making him out to be.
Admittedly, I am skeptical about how much of a "knockout artist" Sean really is, but the kid he is facing does not appear to be some glass-jawed fighter who will be totally out of his element.
I expect him to be spamming calf kicks and maybe shoot a takedown. Sean is going to have to catch him coming in, and even then I am skeptical Suga has enough power to put this guy out cold. Rather, I see Moutinho losing by decision as the most likely outcome, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets Suga down and steals a round .
I think some are still sleeping on Ryan Hall as well. He will be my pick. I already have him in a bet with the main event.I think Omari, Yana , and Niko will be the sleeper picks.
Don't know about Omari, Tavares has just been so damn good against grinding wrestlers for me to give the guy with a suspect gas tank and no course of action besides winging haymakers and spamming takedowns much of a shot.I think Omari, Yana , and Niko will be the sleeper picks.
