i think this ref could fuk up both these bitches lmao

I'm honestly a bit surprised that basically across the board (on all forums & chat sections,) almost nobody is backing Jared Cannonier.

Don't get me wrong...*IF* the fight gets to the ground, I obviously would favor The Joker to pull off some sort of submission finish. That being said, Jared Cannonier was a heavy handed hitter at heavyweight. Now, (for awhile now) he's down all the way to middleweight; and is seemingly built of pure rock/granite at this fighting weight. His confidence is as high as anyone's right now. Look, the J.H. is an INCREDIBLY ELITE MMA FIGHTER.

That being said, in this matchup, he's DEFINITELY going to be at a serious disadvantage in terms of power & strength. He's much more of a Nate Diaz style volume puncher. *IF* Cannonier lands a clean shot at even 70-80% power, I firmly believe Jack Hermansson is going night night. Even in the clinch and on the mat, I just personally think Cannonier will feel abnormally heavy & strong compared to what Hermansson is used to. Technique can and will always be of superior importance to strength & physicality. However, this isn't a pro MMA fighter vs an inexperienced bodybuilder/weightlifting guru.

Finally, what really bothered me leading up to this fight was when I heard Jack Hermansson say in multiple interviews that this fight w/Cannonier just didn't motivate him to a level anywhere near his normal level of motivation. He stated that (simply) because of the rankings (the now basically irrelevant number) next to Cannonier's name compared to his own...he was finding it difficult to get all that excited for today's matchup. Hopefully for his sake, fighting in his (one of) home country, maybe that will allow the home field advantage that are the home town fans...to provide that motivation he admittedly has lacked leading up to today. Thankfully

I'm not one of those individuals who feels ashamed or embarrassed when it turns out I was wrong about something, because that enables me to not have to worry about saying, "well...I was definitely wrong about that," if that ends up being the case. We soon shall see, but my money is on "the Killa Gorilla" to upset the "home town hero" by KO/TKO! Good luck to you ALL!

OSP looks massive and slow.. Big man though, not expending alot of energy so far. This fight still up in the air IMO..

**JIBBBY** · 09-28-19, 02:09 PM

OSP with the sub was hedged.. Wish I only played this..

The white midget shot his wad in the first 90 sec. OSP looks 40 lbs bigger. Imagine laying 300 on a MW fighting a LHW

Imagine making a huge bet on Tyron Woodley as a favorite over Usman.

Think most of us were. Not a good card for me made 3 bets lost em all

**Unwritten Law** · 09-28-19, 02:43 PM

Thanks for the head's up fellas. I should've heeded. I guess Khalil got intimidated yesterday at the weigh-ins and that carried over. He probably had too much fun in Thailand getting soapies on the side after training. Damn bad read.

**UncleChael** · 09-28-19, 02:47 PM

Gonna roll with Gunnar Nelson here.. +100

I think Rountree would have won if he had survived R1. Cutelaba seems like a one round fighter to me.

**JIBBBY** · 09-28-19, 03:08 PM

That last take down screwed Gunnar IMO on the cards.. 29-28 Burns should be the call..

**Hugo de Naranja** · 09-28-19, 03:09 PM

Another exact pick with Burns UD (29-28 x3)

Nice Hugo

How long did Burns take him down for? like 2 seconds?

Long enough to win the decision in the 3rd round.. Was 1-1 going into the 3rd round on my cards.. Nelson was fading late.. Judges got that right....
