Cyril Glover (0-2-0) is a Pro MMA Fighter out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. View complete Tapology profile, bio, rankings, photos, news and record.

He had one defense in Kunlun fights. The intended trick of this question is that the promotion is listed by its full name on his Tapology profile. The full name is Far Eastern Modern Pankration Federation and you'd have to look at a specific event that he fought on to see that it was also known as Kunlun Fight

1u on Movlid Khaibulaev (+115) in PFL tomorrow. Second time betting him so hoping to make it 2 for 2.

**PaperTrail07** · 07-25-19, 10:14 AM

Yeah I looked after and didn't find shit lol.

PFL card just seems like 90% russians loll

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-25-19, 05:42 PM

Added:
Movlid K. (-105) 1.05u to win 1u

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-25-19, 07:25 PM

Haven't seen the fight yet but it looks like my 2.05u bet on Movlid Khaybulaev (+105) pushed due to a Majority Draw after Movlid Khaybuleav nearly stopped Harrison in R1.

**firekillex** · 07-28-19, 12:57 AM

BJ Penn vs Nik Lentz....
just wow

Yeah Movlid dominated Rd1, had it gone 5 seconds longer it would of been a ref stoppage. The other 2 rounds were close IMO, Harrison might've won but there wasn't much output. With the scoring system I can understand a draw although Movlid did the most damage.

Yeah would have been nice for Movlid to get one of the closer rounds in R2/R3 but a draw is not the worst outcome. I'll take the push here and look to be him in the future.

55/45 Covington so I am on Lawler.
50/50 Guida vs Miller so I am on Guida.
55/45 Gaethje so I am on Cerrone.

Probably an 85-90% chance that Nik Lentz wins this one.

I give Lawler a way lower chance than that. Tell me more.

I feel that Lawler has fought better competition and has a huge experience edge over Covington. I don't think he is quite faded yet, but Covington looks a little sharper overall. Lawler was close to beating Askren and just got in an unlucky position. All of Covington's finishes were against fighters with limited experience, but it is true that he has won almost all of his fights being 14-1. I am just not quite convinced that Covington should be a -225 favorite yet.

Interesting. I think Lawler can finish early but otherwise I think Colby wrestles him all fight. Down to do some BetPoints on it if you want.

**Sanity Check** · 07-28-19, 11:26 PM

Lawler looked good in his last fight. A big part of that was Ben Askren's striking defense and standup being horrible though. Ben Askren is one of the most hittable guys at welterweight with zero power in his punches/kicks/knees/elbows for anyone to be concerned with. Big part of why Jorge Masvidal was able to land that knee so easily wheras he probably couldn't do it against a more seasoned opponent.

To get an accurate depiction of Lawler's kickboxing you might have to go back to his fight with RDA where his striking accuracy was far lower against someone with a more well rounded game.

RDA beat Robbie Lawler. Colby Covington beat RDA. MMA math says Colby should probably be the favorite here but like they say styles make fights.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-28-19, 11:45 PM

Should be a good fight. Covington has a lot of similarities to Askren but is a worse offensive wrestler/grappler with better striking defense.

Bellator maybe. Scott Coker is a better person than Dana and they've worked well together before.

**jacharron17** · 08-02-19, 08:55 PM

70/30 Over 2.5 for Clay Guida vs Jim Miller. I see it going the distance, some value on the Over.

My opinions have been kind of shit lately so I'd probably lose the betpoints on this bet. Maybe I'd bet it going the distance which is how I see it playing out. A 55/45 Covington decision, which has some value.

I think Covington Decisions Lawler so I'll pass.

Call me crazy but I'm thinking Dominick Reyes is going to smash Chris Weidman.

Am I being premature here?

I agree with you. Don’t think you’re being premature here.

**firekillex** · 08-06-19, 12:02 PM

will come down to if Weidmans chin is better at 205
Reyes a bit overhyped imo .. but if Weidmans chin is shot itll be a quick night

Seems shot to me. KO losses to Rockhold, Romero, Mousasi, and Jacare. (Three on the feet, 1 from GnP). Also got dropped hard by Gastelum.

yup i would tend to agree , only thing that would give me any faith is he cut a ton of weight and is moving up... huge weighcuts definitely dehydrate the brain and make you more prone for being KOD .... i said the same about Rockhold but his defense/ cardio just looked terrible against Jan... Well see how Weidman looks , i wonder where the odds will be

just crazy because you see Weidmans last 5 he has 4 losses but i would say he was winning almost all 4 of those fights or at least tied in rounds and he got caught ... but yup once the chin is gone you can get hit by anything and its a wrap.. i think Reyes is overrated but he does have power thats for sure

**Sanity Check** · 08-06-19, 06:05 PM

Weidman had neck surgery ^ (visible scar beneath his chin). Don't know if it could affect him the way Yoel's neck surgery seemed to transform him into a different person after the Feijao fight.

Weidman had some negative things to say about Reyes wrestling in the Volkan fight (giving up his back getting to his feet) not certain if that will factor in.

zabit vs calvin kattar...
been on the zabit train for a bit now saying he is the one to possibly dethrone Max...
but damn i HATE this matchup... very very tough fight with not a big name , very weird how he went from Ortega to this???

at least Yair, Ortega have names but this is just a no win situation unless he demolishes Kattar which would be super tough , that guys a very lowkey dude in the divsion with a ton of skill

Where do you think Bookies will line it?

zabit #5 and kattar #11 and zabit has the hype probably be -200 or so range
of course he should win and he has all the skills but damn how does he go from a good stylistic matchup against #2 which if he won hed probably get a title fight... to #11 kattar whos tougher stylistically and hell need another win after this for a title shot

**Baraldsson** · 08-08-19, 04:51 PM

Anybody got any strong opinions on the Pettis vs Diaz fight if it goes ahead? When it was first announced I was leaning towards Showtime but I'm not so sure anymore.

If Nate comes in properly motivated then he's not going to be easily beaten. Also have a feeling he won't stay as underdog forever so might be wise to get a unit or two on him before his odds shorten too much?
