How's everyone doing today?

Time to see what Joel Alvarez has to offer.

 

[BaruchSpinoza]

Went for the ITD on Ismagulov vs. Alvarez. Alvarez appears to be very aggressive on the feet. Should be interesting!

Same, played it small though. Good luck Baruch.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

Still at work right now, but closing shop. Should be just the right timing.

 

[molest]

And thats why Ismagulov will probably finish him even though he didnt finish Georgees.

 

[TrueAscension]

took first fight ends ITD as well

Anyone got live bet on these bum fights?

Not looking good so far

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Anyone got live bet on these bum fights?

Probably just for the main card. Maybe the prelims if you're lucky.

 

[ill800]

You wonder if this guy Alvarez is, a little slow

 

[Bodybuilder]

Blame Bruce. He introduced Alvarez as a striker, even though 14/15 wins by submission, no big deal.

 

[EndlessCritic]

hey alvarez, maybe if you're down two rounds you shouldn't just sit back and try to counter which clearly isn't fucking working.

how pillow fisted is ismagulov? he couldn't hurt gorgees either.

 

[wigglestick]

Yea I shouldn't of took ITD on this one lol, wonder what ismagulovs decision line was

 

[EndlessCritic]

hardy thinks ismagulov should go for a takedown? lol?

 

[Soccer Steve]

Isma clear, but looking a little tired and reckless in the 3rd here.

 

[ill800]

how did this guy get a fight in the ufc?

 

[DevilsPt2]

I think Hardy is right about Ismagulov fighting someone really aggressive to bring the beast out of him. If his opponent wont push him he wont push back too hard it seems. Had 5u on his ML so still works for me.
