UFC tmr

its something

**sosawestbrook** · 06-20-20, 01:05 PM

play #1: Justin Jaynes +275

don't know much about Justin Jaynes but he is coming off a string of KO victories and looked solid at the weigh ins. I'm gonna fade Frank Camacho here who not only missed weight but really wasn't even close & just looked drained at the face offs. he has also lost the last three of four fights. the size disadvantage for Jaynes is a concern but I think his path to victory starts with getting out of the first round clean & then outgassing Camacho in the subsequent rounds.

play #2: Tecia Torres +185

Tecia Torres is coming off four straight losses but all of them are against some savages. in fact, all five of her losses in the UFC are against the cream of the crop. she matches up against Brianna Van Buren who is now making her second appearance in the UFC. this is one of the few times that Torres isn't terribly outsized against her opponent & in fact she looks to be the bigger, stronger fighter in this matchup after watching the face offs.

play #3: Josh Emmett +132
play #4: Josh Emmett/Shane Burgos U2.5 -130

Shane Burgos is a hard-nosed boxer who pushes the pace constantly with his impressive cardio. on the other hand, Josh Emmett is more of a calculated fighter who picks his spots well & looks for that powerful right hand to put his opponents to sleep. this should be an all out war especially considering the dynamics of the cage. its a power vs precision matchup and for that reason I don't see this fight going to the cards. either Burgos lands a flurry of blows against the cage or Emmett punishes him for getting overconfident with his boxing. though I see the latter as the more likely scenario. Burgos is simply too hittable. one mistake & Emmett will take his head off. should be a very exciting fight.

play #5: Roosevelt Roberts & Curtis Blaydes parlay -137

Roosevelt Roberts is one of the more intriguing prospects in the sport to me. he exudes maximum confidence yet stays extremely poised in the octagon. his skillset is well rounded and his length will be a problem for most fighters in the division. I see him having his way with Jim Miller who's only real path to victory would be via submission. even though this bout is at catchweight, it'll still be a pivotal fight for Roberts as he begins his journey through the ranks of the lightweight division. then we have Curtis Blaydes who is simply the most skilled heavyweight outside of Francis Ngannou. he trains with Elevation Fight Team which is one of the more prominent camps in the sport. all those guys have ridiculous cardio & well-rounded offensive skillsets. I just don't see Blaydes having much trouble here & think he will have his way against Alexander Volkov.

ALL THE SMOKE x THE KID

**sosawestbrook** · 06-20-20, 01:56 PM

HAPPY SATURDAY. I'm currently listening to Prince & munching on fresh fruit. this is how I start my day when I know later on two souls from the same planet will throw vicious blows at each other for entertainment purposes. it is important to take a step back sometimes and really see this shit for what it is. world has been a crazy place lately. I feel like the matrix has come from beneath us and swallowed the ground whole, replacing it instead with a sea of evil. lots of panic and frenzy in these corrupt waters. fellow brains not producing any logical thoughts, just ones backed with pure emotion..a recipe for absolute disaster. luckily, I think sports as a whole is the boat zipping somewhere along the horizon heading our way. Kobe said it perfectly..sports is the best metaphor for life. it is LIFE, in a sense. hold tight, the souls of our favorite athletes soon come to our rescue.

Curtis Blaydes is way more skilled than Francis Ngannou. Ngannou just has unreal punching power.

for sure. just wanted to make it clear that Francis was in his own lane.

worst possible start for Roberts he absolutely did not want to be on the mat that early.

not at all. most of his wins are via submission. he just got caught in that early scramble and Miller capitalized. it happens. I'm keeping an eye on Roberts going forward. I like his skillset & athleticism in that lightweight division.
