    Gonna bet a unit each on Jotko and Blachowitz. Watched these guys in Poland, good fighters. Good chance at least one hits and I make a small profit.

    Impeccable grammar.

    Nice to have a Polish insider on the forum. I like one of those plays but don't know enough about the other matchup.

    It remains to be seen whether Story is ultra-careful. I think he'll mix it up with Nelson at some point fairly early and the very first mistake he makes will be exploited. Damian Maia subbed him in the first round in their fight remember. Even if Nelson starts slow and loses the first round like he did against Zach Cummings, he'll time Story move in with strikes and grab a hold of him in the second. It's a matter of punches and strikes from there until he turns or gives up his neck. That's how I see it playing out.

    There's a good chance I'm overestimating Story's durability and smarts (I'm also having a hard time figuring out what his game plan/ path to victory looks like), but I've never thought of him as being sloppy or reckless; Maia submitted him quickly, and the memory of that fight might make him less inclined to throw himself into risky positions against another submission ace. Not saying you're wrong, though. GL

    Pendred is not very solid IMO - although neither is his opponent in this fight

    I wish people would stop betting based on nationalism. It's just silly.

    I can't imagine how it could be a bad idea to bet on someone because of their hype.

    Yet to be seen Napes.. 8 fight win streak.. Seems to still be improving and getting better with each fight.. Did ok on the TUF show a few years ago.. 1-0 in the UFC to date.. Works and trains with good fighters and camps around the world...

    Is he a stud? No he is not. I'd say his star is still on the rise though...

    Still wins this next fight one would think...

    Gunnar is from Iceland not Ireland and Pendred was pretty brutal on TUF and will get smashed as soon as he fights anyone decent.

    [QUOTE=MD;22705453]Umalatov isn't very solid? What?

    You for real? I was at his fight with Magny - unimpressive. And his fight against Thiago I found equally unimpressive (granted it would be hard to impress me in any fight with Thiago that wasn't an outright obliteration of him). He's got decent TDD and some head movement but otherwise throws a lot of stupid looping punches. You seen something I haven't? Admittedly I haven't watched any pre-UFC footage of him.

    Nah, not this time. I think Umalatov is underrated; his fight IQ is very high, and he combines it with an impressively well-rounded game. Napes seems to think he fights like Chris Leben, but he's very skilled, especially considering his lack of athletic gifts.

    Iceland has 300.000 inhabitants approx. Insane that they produce world class foot-ballplayers and ufc fighters. Its bizarre.

    Yee it is very interesting, and something ive thought about as ive witnessed more and more quality football players come out of Iceland. Has to be something to do with their character i guess? I mean they seem to generally have tht steely, focussed and very disciplined attitude and character. Take professional footballers for instance like you mentioned, its hard to think of even one Iceland player tht is known for being lazy, or arrogant, or outspoken and difficult to work with. And as far as im aware its not like they poured millions of euros in to creating top class facilities for young footballers. I think its fair to say now tht their National Team is as good as if not better than likes of Finland and Norway which is quite insane considering those two countries have 5+ million population!

    Agreed and that why this fight is a no play for me... I just couldn't pick a winner in this one and I capped this beast hard too... I did see that both fighters are EXTREMELY durable, solid chins, hard to finish so the over rounds bet looked like the best play to roll the dice on in this scrap... This fight I believe will be going to the judges scoring cards in the end.

    That was a strange fight. Musoke was able to take Kelvin down in the first but had no success after that. Kelvin demolished him in rounds 2 and 3.

    Are you sure he didn't say "wanted to take his head clean off" and Conor talked him out of it because it's one of his catchphrases? Along with "It's a beautiful ting" and "I like custom made suits"
