Interesting ass fight

I tend to lean Luque. I think he has a submission game to keep Chiesa honest in the grappling, he can hit some D’Arce chokes and anacondas. I think he’s much more of a force on the feet

 

[Chaels Arms]

Ray Longo said on the Anik and Florian podcast they are expecting Merab vs. Moraes in September and Yan v. Aljo in November.

That could be good. I would rather the winner of this get a title shot instead of Colby.

Demian Maia asks to face Nate Diaz in final fight of his career

I know White was talking about how it’s probably Maia’s last fight but I don’t hate this idea

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Big step up for Merab

 

[bov]

Moraes appears to be on the way down. If Merab looks like he did against Stamann, I think he exhausts Marlon after a few minutes and takes the W. Great matchup though.

I think Luque is well-rounded enough to not get ragdolled by Chiesa, I lean towards him in that one. Could see it being a grueling battle with a close decision too.

Usman/Colby would probably be in August/September anyway - maybe even on the same card - so no need to wait around.

I would think Edwards is ahead of Luque/Chiesa anyway.

Yea if he wants to keep busy and fight that soon that's great, I'm all for it. But if we had to prioritize I wouldn't put Colby at the top since all he did since the first fight is beat a washed Woodley.

literally only two ways this fight goes

Good fight but it will be interesting what they do next for Moreno now.

Good fight but it will be interesting what they do next for Moreno now.

Probably still gets the winner. It is only 1.5 month away and Moreno seemed like he wanted to take some time. He was obviously in a war in the first fight and said he was basically in camp for 6 months. He said something about spending time with family and eating bad food in the post fight presser. So I wouldn't be surprised if he's fine waiting until November or December for his first defense.

Good for Filthy Tom Lawlor!

 

[CDJ]

Magomed Magomedkerimov with the tribute to Oleinik making Curtis Millender go limp with an Ezekiel choke. Well done

A rare 9-8 round in the first of Sordi-Spohn (imo)


Edit: Preposterous that they didn’t give Sordi a 9-8 in a round he outstruck a guy like 150-4 but ok

 

[CDJ]

Somebody needs to be taken out back for Tibau getting that decision

 

[bov]

Not saying I agree with the decision, but Rory looked bad and didn't do anything worth a damn outside of a brief takedown. Deserved to take an L with such a lackluster performance imo.

 

[CDJ]

Brutal.

 

[Avs_19]

At least it didn’t cost Rory too badly because of the format. He’s still in the semi-finals and has a chance to win the tournament.

Didnt have that as the last leg of my parlay or anything

I'm more surprised that 2 judges gave Tibau round 1. Thought 1 was definitely Rory and I gave round 3 to Tibau. Round 2 was competitive enough, yes Rory got the early takedown but after they got to their feet, nothing special happened .

I had it 29-28 Rory but honestly have no problem with the decision, guess I'm in the minority though. Hopefully it lights a spark because I thought he looked pretty damn bad.

giving Tibau round 1 was criminal

I mean what are we doing here?



it’s stealing.


One of the judges is the guy who had Gastelum 30-27 on Till. Dave Tirelli deserves the worst in life
