Brendan Allen and Sean Woodson are legit imo. Got to see both fight in Boston, very impressive. Allen was in a war with Kevin Holland and submitted him, Woodson pieced up Bochniak


Woodson has ridiculous length at 145, wouldn’t shock me if he’s the all time reach leader in the division. I don’t think he’s that far off of Bones reach

Edit: he has a 79 inch reach, Bones is at 84.5....so a bit of a difference. But the point remains- absurdly long for the division



we all know the main event will bang

Gall and Perry are both pretty annoying.

 

[CDJ]

I think we’re getting a Perry KO

Main event is obviously a banger. I think Poirier is a better fighter in every aspect of the game, but Hooker will keep it competitive and is tough as hell. My only question with Poirier is his motivation level. Is he demoralized after not only losing to Khabib, but really getting smothered other than a guillotine attempt? The only thing I don't like about this fight is Hooker's mean mug on the poster. Dial in back, Dan

 

[Deen]

Poirier is going to box Hookers brains out. If Hooker doesn't pull a crazy kick to the temple, he will get dominated on the feet.

Chick fight with nobodies (I guess Hansen since she’s 20 and a 10th planet student)

1. Everyone starts somewhere + covid considerations.

2. Sometimes I feel like they like to give one high level fight (this main could easily work as a main card fight on a PPV) for free and the cost is maybe seeing some lower level talent along the way.

Have Zalal winning 29-28

 

[ZDH]

Pena
Woodson
Allen
Poirier

 

[ZDH]

Have Zalal winning 29-28

And all 3 judges scored it that way.

 

[Avs_19]

Nice work by Hansen getting that submission.

Lets see what Boser's got now. That was a tough match up against Gane last time but he did take it the distance, which is better than anyone else has done.

 

[ZDH]

oh damn

 

[CDJ]

Wow Boser

he’s in great shape, good for him

 

[I am not exposed]

Nice knockout!

 

[Avs_19]

Okay, Boser. He showed some real speed and quick hands there for a HW. Landed a number of shots while Lins was out on his feet and slowly falling down.

Way to represent Edmonton. Bonnyville to be accurate but we'll claim him too.

 

[CDJ]

Lins won a milly in the PFL tournament


What kind of tomato cans they got at HW? The Strikeforce Grand Prix it is not lol

 

[CDJ]

Fun little fight here

 

[CDJ]

Excellent stuff from Khama Worthy

 

[bov]

That was a really good fight, Worthy is way better than I thought

 

[CDJ]

Will Chope has the longest reach in featherweight history. He was 6’4 and made 145 WHAT IN THE SHIT

he got one fight in the UFC- he got beat by Holloway. Tough break lol

 

[I am not exposed]

Sean Woodson is a strange looking person

 

[Byron Bitz]

Woodson got dem Kevin Durant arms
