I remeber when people where saying Gilbert was a good bet, 50/50 fight haha
JDS/Blaydes
I think JDS gets beaten badly here. Blaydes is very dangerous and has literally only lost to the future champion. JDS is at the gate keeper stage of his career, he can beat the mid tier guys but he's losing to all the top fighters he faces. His last good win was a fairly green Stipe and that was 6 years ago.
For a heavy weight Blaydes is actually fairly dynamic, he has an effective wrestling game with the cardio to maintain it, that in itself is a rarity at heavy weight. Some of the best guys ever in the weight class and the guys who have been good champions have the same weapons as Blaydes - Stipe, DC, Cain, all wrestlers with good cardio. Blaydes top control and pressure are probably the best in the division, usually when you go down you are staying down or very briefly getting up against the cage just to carry his weight and then end up back on the mat.
His chin maybe is questionable, but it's probably more his striking defence that needs the work. Blaydes is a real competitor and I see him coming back improved each time, and with a gameplan to use his most effective weapons regardless of it being fan friendly or not.
Blaydes by KO/TKO will be free money, ground and pound finish. Under 2.5 hits and probably under 1.5 also.
