It's all good, my point is just that hyperbole generally isn't all that useful. Calling a good fighter like Lerone Murphy "ass"...cmon. Maybe Edson beats him. Maybe Murphy isn't as good as some think. But he's obviously a pretty solid fighter.

He's "ass"? I like you dude but damn you working the serious hyperbole lately in crowning the Cuban dude that flamed out last week as a striking savant and now this. Just take it easy LOL. Murphy might not be a future champ but he damn sure isn't "ass".

I know he's not as persistent as Mitchell, but he will definitely look to mix it up. That's the point. It gives Edson more to think about. Lerone is a million times the striker that Bryce or Makwan are. Edson won't have a pure striking match here. Nor will he have a fight where he only has to...

Sort of, difference is that Murphy also provides a grappling threat and Giga provided none. Edson's offense is neutralized when he has to fend off persistent grappling. Thugnasty showed that. It doesn't mean Edson still can't be dangerous, but the accumulated damage scenario you're talking...

Unstoppable? Giga fought at the range and pace that Edson wanted and picked him apart and finished him. Murphy will mix up striking and grappling and will absolutely try to make Edson uncomfortable. That also will of course give Edson chances to do what he did to Billy Q. But Murphy won't...

Clipped him with one good punch and landed a clean knee that definitely got Lerone's attention. But Murphy dominated the fight, and Culibao is no cupcake. A different ref may well have stopped Edson/Youseff in rd1 and we wouldn't have this fight. (Was the right call not to stop it, but Edson...

30-27 Woodson was terrible.

To be clear I wasn't necessarily talking about this case, just in general.

I predict a boring sparring match.

-500 Wow. Who the hell is playing him at those odds as though CDF is a bum??

IDK about that, but I know I like him as a dog vs Buckley.

Yeah imo his TKD creds don't mean all that much. His attributes are speed, power, and aggression with his striking. At HW, that can definitely carry you quite far. But he will need to round out his game a lot to really make a run at being elite.

Maaan...I can't agree at all. Pavlovich has plenty of power. The TKO's aren't cumulative damage TKO's. He puts guys on wobbly legs or drops them then tees off. Tom has a good chin is what I've seen. Blaydes didn't really land anything clean though. I agree Pavlovich isn't as dynamic or fast as...

I mean, that's MMA really. Your striking can make your grappling look better, and vice versa. The guys who can blend them and make opponents guess are often the best in the world. GSP was kind of the pioneer of that. Came up a striker, made himself a world class grappler...boom. Robelis will...

Lotta super high level TKD guys to beat out to make the Cuban national team LOL? He's fast and powerful, but he wings punches the same way you described Ngannou. Aspinall's boxing is leagues better, and Aspinall has the same speed. Maybe more. Plus, it's MMA and Tom can grapple so... Edit...

I don't know this specific area but the idea that American (or Aussie, whatever) tourists are hands off for cartel violence is patently false. It's probably mostly true IF an area isn't being contested at all between rival cartels. If one has an area locked down, it's likely accurate to say they...

I'd be shocked if Despaigne allowed himself to be clinched without disengaging and throwing bombs. He looks reckless, and against really skilled guys he's gonna get countered and put away. But I don't think Waldo is the guy. And I definitely don't seea scenario where he's able to go deep into a...

The way Despaigne fights? He's trying to take off his opponents head with everything he throws. I cannot imagine he'd be able to even stand up if somehow the fight goes past rd 2.

So far Underdog one play: Despaigne over 49.55 FS + Woodson under 57.55 FS---$100 to pay $300 Edit: Despaigne FS bumped to 55.55 already. I wasn't the only one that saw how off that was.

I guess I've just yet to see Borschev show in a fight that any of the TAM grappling pedigree has translated. He just seems to look so lost in terms of how to avoid being controlled. Hooper has filled out a little, and obviously is gonna be hyper focused on making Slava grapple. I don't have...
