PFL Finale:

Cooper (-155) 1u to win 0.65u

Khabib, Conor, Tony would be tough test for him. I would absolutely like to see him fight Tony, just a classic battle, also is great payday. Max is still very young he could fight in both divisions if he's healthy.

-1u on Cooper. Nice performance by Magomed.

I think Holloway would lose to Khabib but beat Tony in a close war and definitely beat McGregor.

Do you think Max would match up well against big 155'ers like Kevin lee?

Lee would be interesting since he’s a solid wrestler and Max has faced a lot of strikers recently. I think size wise Max will do fine against any LW but Lee is definitely a tougher style matchup than someone like Iaquinta or Felder.

Considering we have a 3 week layoff til Dillashaw v. Cejudo I started watching UFC vids on youtube and came across an interesting one of top matches that need to happen in 2019. What do you guys think of these potential fights?

Whittaker v. Adesanya
Kron Gracie v. Ryan Hall
Zabit v. Zair
Khabib v. GSP (would this have to happen at a catch weight?)
Cain v. Stipe

My initial leans are Adesanya, Zair, GSP and Cain; assuming his injuries aren't lingering. I have no idea about Gracie/Hall though.

Cheers!

dillashaw going to smoke him

[bjpenn85]

dillashaw going to smoke him

Thats my thought also. Track record of dillashaw is spectaular + the way he wins. Cejudo is to basic. Im not sure Cejudo would have cracked the top 10 in bantamweight, beating nr 1 should be a tall task

Killashaw going to destroy cejudo. I doubt cejudo can hokd dillashaw on the ground. Standing dillashaw should pick him apart.

[Hugo de Naranja]

dillashaw going to smoke him

I think so too. Cejudo will have to LnP and I don't think that will work against Dillashaw. Dillashaw has a BIG advantage standing.

I think dillashaw will be too long and quick and can keep cejudo at bay and stuff the takedowns. Cejudo 0% chance on the feet. Maybe head kick ko?

i think he could crack the top 10 at 135 but he wont be a champion there imo.... dillashaw is one of the p4p best skill wise he has it all and im 99% sure hes also juiced before which helps. has a killer mentality as well and pushes his body to the limits i see him being champion for a while.. Moraes / Cody have the best chance only way i see TJ losing is to somebody with big KO power thats fast enough to clip him

Agreed. I actually scored both of the Split Decision Losses to Cruz and Assuncao for Dillashaw. Only fight that he clearly lost was his UFC Debut against Dodson.

Do you think so? You believe Cejudo would have beet Pedro Munhoz, or Dodson? Maybe Dodson due to inactivity, but Munhoz, meh i dont know. Agreed, i do think TJ will remain as long as he doesnt get clipped.

[firekillex]

I thought he definitely won that Assuncao fight, that guy gets blessed with splits all the time.. i think hell lose to Moraes more clearly this time imo...
The Cruz fight i was watching with a Cruz bias id have to rewatch that fight, i do remember TJ was killing him with leg kicks but then stopped throwing them for some reason which most likely wouldve won him the fight...

Like i said the only way TJ is losing is by KO imo, nobody at 135 will outskill him for the nearby future, need somebody super fast with a ton of power like Cody/Moraes

and regarding Cejudo at 135 id actually like to see how hed fair against those top 10 guys, im sure well be seeing it soon since i think 125 will be cut... Cejudo vs Pedro or Lineker would be a good test

one of the best cards ive ever seen... we all know some people will pull/ get injured but man this is stacked

[CasaBonita]

Holly shit thats a good card

If u have to choose between Jones -1000 vs Smith o Adesanya -1000 vs Silva
Whats your pick?

[firekillex]

would never take anything over -250 in sports but id definitely choose the Jones -1000 over Adesanya
Smith has nothing for Jones , at least Silva was a great and can still hurt you with something crazy

[Hugo de Naranja]

I agree with Fire.

I gotta jump into Namajunas at that price, anybody knows if the judges are Brazilian? Thats very important imo

I'm excited to see my boy David Teymur back in action soon against Charles Oliveira. Oliveira is by far the most dangerous guy Teymur has ever faced.

hard to gauge Oliveira he either looks like a top 5 potential dark horse or looks like he has 0 heart and doesnt wanna be in there

Very hot and cold. The type of guy I love to bet as a big dog and love to fade as a big favorite.

[firekillex]

couldnt agree more lol

and WOW gaethje vs Barbosa announced.. thats gonna be fight of the year potential
either Edson is gonna pick him apart and destroy him with tons of damage , or Gaethje will survive a couple rounds of damage and pull off a gritty late win imo ... should be fireworks

also Pettis Vs Wonderboy at 170 ... cant see Pettis winning that one

Woha. What a fight. Barboza is pretty good at back pedaling now, after everyone last 2-3 years have tried to put pressure on Barboza. I think Barboza getting accustomed to getting pressured. Dont dare to put a bet on this fight, but leaning barboza.
