Why my heart says Hill and my brain says Poatan

[Fatback96]

My brain says pick Poatan because he’s the better polished striker and will probably destroy Hill if he can land the leg kicks. Also Hill is very sloppy with his punching and leaves his head out in the open for the taking.

For some reason though, my heart is telling me Hill will KO Alex. I think it’s because the guy is so reckless and yet has a great chin, he can afford to throw sloppy punches in close range whereas Alex doesn’t have the best chin.

Not saying Hill is some crazy KO artist with insane power like some of these sherdoggers in here, but I think he’s very effective because of his chin durability. He took some crazy shot from Santos and Glover and acted like nothing happened.

Definitely not how you’d teach someone to fight, but hey it works for now lol

 

[USA!USA!]

I feel like people are underrating Hill - getting disrespect because of the layoff, his stupid comments, and his body

He is a good fighter

Having said that, I think its going to be a tough road for him against Poatan.

 

[KevinTheCar]

Alex has a solid chin at 205. people for some reason dont understand that

hill's the best that the division has to offer beyond anko and johnny walker on a random sunday. this is a great fight on paper. if poatan beats him,anko,and johnny walker, then they are virtually zero threats to poatan in this division for awhile.

 

[humdizzle]

Its gonna be Poatan

who has Hill fought. I mean really think about it.
- 42 year old Glover to a decision. 42 !!
- Walker has no chin
- Santos knees are gone. he's 1-7 since 2019.

Dude just happened to get a call from dana and jumped into a favorable matchup.

Look like in da h8rdem eyez Jamahill finna add a 1-dimensional kickboxer to his resume needs to be tested by D1 Godzilla fam bro need to quit 'n the real competition Poatan finna knock him out but if that ain't happen bro still teh sux

Heart ain't wrong fam. Jamahill is destiny. KO rd 3 don't listen to the 6ixdog h8rdem.

It was harder than I expected to back one or the other on my Tap card, I do think it's a close one.

I don't think Jamahal is quite at the same level as Pereira, and his injuries made up my mind for me.

I think we're one and done in terms of rounds, or at least I hope so.

 

[Poirierfan]

If Hill is healed then watch out. I suspect not though. @Jackonfire pointed out yesterday how it's a little too fast to be coming back from an injury such as what Hill sustained.

There's A LOT of that, so I'm with you. But Hill has had (a few) great opportunities, taken them, and won when he had to, so good for him. He had a super easy road to champ imo, but that's not his fault.

 

[DatSamboKid]

I'm on the fence about it. I believe the way Hill handles Pereira's calf kicks will play a big role in determining how the fight turns out.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Who did it better?

 

[Odoylerules4lyf]

Who did it better?

Poatan, by virtue of Strickland not having had that happen to him tons of times the way Walker has.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Yeah idk, I feel the opposite. Heart says Pereira and logic says Hill, I see it as Alex being older now... has proven to be hittable and maybe not so durable anymore. Hill on the other hand is younger, more durable and is hungry. This fight for me is 50/50 and I am going into it expecting Hill to lose until he lands a big counter and finishes Pereira...I hope I am wrong though as I love seeing Alex win.

 

[Wreckless]

Such a weird fight to have as your UFC 300 main event.

I know it wasn't their first pick. Probably not even their 4th or 5th option. But still wish I could care about Hill.

Not sure who I would pick to win this fight, just hope for a good scrap and a spectacular knockout.

Definitely a tough Hill to climb.

 

[UFCFantasyMVP]

Head says Poatan... but I have a weird feeling about this fight. Seriously thought about puttin' a little money on the underdog, but those odds are surprisingly close. Kinda wanted to put somethin' on Aljo as well, but those odds have gotten way worse over time for anyone favoring Aljo. Might just avoid betting on this card. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Holm win and since she's a huge underdog, that may be worth a play.

 

[Khaosan]

Wait, Hill actually has fans who aren’t blood relatives?

I'm not sure which is harder to wrap my brain around.

Hill winning this fight or being able to comprehend what you just wrote....

You would have a higher chance at winning playing the prop bet of if Kayla makes weight.
