#37How do you see Rory winning though? Will he keep it on the feet and out strike Saff or will he look to take Saff down?
Agree 100% that Rory should not be -500. Normally when I see a -500 I can tell straight away why they are this price but I am struggling here.
I'm not convinced that Rory would have the cardio to implement a wrestling heavy game plan against Saff for his first 5 rounder. So if this fight does stay standing can Rory out strike Saff for 5 rounds?
Lots of question marks for this fightComment -

#39Love the dialog - I do think most of you guys are thinking about this fight in the wrong light though with all due respect.. It's not gonna be a boxing match for 5 rounds fellas..
Rory is a GSP clone, he's going to take down Saff at some point in this 5 rounder and or just grind on the guy in the clinch.. Keep it simple fellas and don't over think it.. Striking sure Rory will hold his own with his reach advantage, ground and grind is gonna be all Rory period.

#40Can someone explain to me why these dudes at MMAOB are on Chavez? I am still wondering what he is even doing in the UFC and thought Zumba Tuguhoff showed some decent talent in his first outing. Am I missing something here?Comment -

#41Saff is very technical on the feet. Makes few mistakes. He doesn't have enough power to put anyone on their ass nevermind put them out with one shot. His takedown defense is very solid. Its improved greatly since his fight with woodley. He's got very good cardio and he's a tough focking kid. But Rory is on another level. The odds are off IMO. I cap Rory at -300. I don't believe saff will beat any of the top 5 guys at 170 and I do think Rory is a top 5 guy and the guy who will eventually hold the title. This will be a very good fight. Much closer than the line indicates but ultimately MacDonald should take a UD.
I pretty much already broke this fight down in a PM convo with bj so cant be bothered to repeat. your analysis of the fight is spot on.
Rory has reach advantage is taller, faster, has more power and is more creative with his striking. he can mix in takedowns aswell.
Rory should win and look good doing it. hes coming for that strap.Comment -

#42Also, anyone seen anything on Jan? I didn't spend a lot of time looking but all I could find was highlight reels in Polish which don't give me shit. Kinda like Latifi but don't like betting against dudes I never seen before. Does he actually have any talent or is Latifi gonna bulldoze him? I know Remy Sokoudjou put him on the stretcher with leg kicks and Latifi was throwing some nasty leg kicks in his last fight. If anyone got clips or links to Jans fights would be much appreciated.Comment -

#43More interesting match ups to me are Assuncao vs Caraway and Gunner vs Story (not same card but fock it)
More confident in Assuncao. should outclass that phag caraway.
Gunni worries me he needs to be more aggressive and stop relying solely on submissions.
If he fights at the same pace as he did with Cummins and cant get the sub he will lose via points.
What do you guyz think about the Assuncao / Caraway fight? interested to know.Last edited by marzwoody; 09-29-14, 07:32 PM.Comment -

#47Kavanagh is predicting a first round TKO for some reason but yes, I have money on Nelson by sub +190. Story is a tough test but the fight being 5 rounds means Nelson has a long time to find a choke. He probably only needs one grappling exchange to finish this.Comment -

#48Couple of decent reads to get the ball rolling with this card... Liking what I'm reading from these bone heads at Combatpress lately...
This article and slide show covers both events... Short reads as always from bleacher report.. Probably worth a look in.. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ghts-53-and-54Comment -

Erm no he diden't. Perez who has terrible wrestling and ground game decided for some reason to try and take Caraway down, ended up getting subbed. is that impressive?
This is why i don't read these kind of predictions.Comment -

#52Carey: "Caraway looked impressive against an aggressive and crafty Erik Perez earlier this year,"

If you notice my fight predictions often differ from the links that I post up.. Take what you need from each read is my thinking.. Or just don't read them if you are confident and informed already on the match ups..Last edited by JIBBBY; 09-30-14, 05:39 PM.Comment -

#53Oh, I hear ya Marz... I surely don't agree with what most MMA writers say word for word in many of the article reads, but I am able to grab some key facts, current tips on the fighters, their current training camp info, etc.. All helps.. I read many articles and post up the ones that I think are worthy..

#65Agreed Rockster!!! Likely to unfold like this... Rory is not going to be out worked in this one especially once he takes this fight to the ground.... Rory has more ways to win this fight..
Educ8d is the man on this forum in the last month.. Perhaps he proves us both wrong though..
Odds are too crazy high to play this fight straight.. Maybe even to high to play straight in a parlay at this point also.. Just not worth it..Last edited by JIBBBY; 10-02-14, 12:41 PM.Comment -
