    Johnny Walker -150

    Isn't this a gift? I see this guy becoming champion very soon. I don't see him being beat for a long time. What am I missing here?

    One of these guys is going to make it look easy. Either Walker knocks Anderson out with a big strike (likely a knee or elbow) or Anderson has his way with Walker in the wrestling and grappling. I think you may be underestimating Anderson's offensive wrestling and cardio here. Walker often gets tired when fights go to the later rounds and he isn't an elite takedown defender or bottom grappler.

    Yeah I think skill for skill, Anderson is actually way better. It's just his bad chin versus Walker's big power that concerns me. Still, I don't think there's value in Walker ML here.

    Agreed. Anderson if he doesnt get KOed i think this will look like Ryan Bader vs Anthony Perosh.

    Must not forget that Corey Anderson made Glover Texeira look like a fool.

    Anderson said he is not walking around 210, but around 230, and that has supposedly made his chin a lot better, so this may actually be a a situation where his chin isnt really shot, but lack of adequate hydration/CSF has contributed to the KOs, thats theoretically.

    I think i would need to see Anderson not having chin issues for several fights in a row, but there might be something to this as his chis has actuallly seemed better.

    U know Luke Rockhold was also of the same opinion so we need to see this

    I disagree--- he has his own style/goes for the kill/and does not fight scared....is he less "skilled" overall....sure.....but he is still a very dangerous fighter....athletic and fights smart as well...

    I make some assumptions here and i guess youre right. Until he has proven that he can do more than KO people in the first round i should limit myself to define him as a fighter with a lot of finishing capabilities but which skill is unknown in almost any category besides that one skill.

    Happy now?

    lol yes--- and I get your point 100% same guy KO'ing everyone also went 3 vs Silva.....if the wild shots don't work, his skills will start to be exposed...and the more I think about the fight I'm leaning your direction.....people are expecting too much out of walker here...

    Its really hard not to get swayed in the direction of the KO artist. Easy pass.

    This is ufc 244...oh i want to go for bago, damn lewis may KO him. Arlovsky,nah probably KO in first round. Anderson so much better than walker nahh..may get KOed to another dimension. Most binary card ever!

    Johnny Walker just might be the most overrated fighter in mma. Not only is his TDD suspect, but he doesn't have great getups or land good offense off his back. He does have good power (and he very well could land one on Anderson here), but his odds of winning the fight decrease exponentially the longer it lasts.

    He could be a regional scene champ but UFC? Jon Jones would absolutely wreck Johnny on the mat. Walker's only chance at beating top tier guys is by catching them early.

    "Bro, Walker would wreck Jon Jones. Jon Jones went to a Split Decision in his last fight. That means he sucks."
