I think Gastelum is winning the fight. I think Adesanya is underestimating everyone else and Gastelum is no joke.

Calling it now, Holloway vs Poirer will be FOTY.
It’s a close fight for me, but I’m favoring Holloway slightly because of his durability and chin.

Anyone else starting to like Cejudo?
He has embraced his awkwardness and is now making constant jokes at himself.
Before this I couldn't even listen to 30 seconds of him talking.

04-13-2019, 03:20 PM #10I wouldn't go that far, but yeah I agree he seems a little less autistic and more confidentOriginally Posted by Gainzzz
Besides that I might throw down on Gastelum winning, he is on a 2 fight streak, and is the perfect anti matchup to Adesanya
I mean thats an obvious matchup discrepancy but will it really play out like that? I can see Adesanya being "quicker" at first but then maybe won't stop the run through of Gastelum. Or it could be that Adesanya isn't THAT weak and can do enough damage from strikes to make it go to a decision, who in all honesty Gastelum could win too via decision if he puts the pressure on and can't finish.Last edited by KingSWRV; 04-13-2019 at 03:31 PM.

Mma Strategy,
Opponent hurt with body kick, should I:
1. Continue attacking the body?
2. Clinch and wrestle for the rest of the round?
It's #2 way too often.

While I do feel like neither Gas or Israel are the best in the division, I am pretty excited for that fight.
Kind of worried Israel just side steps all night and keeps distance to a relatively boring decision, but I’m hoping Gas can get inside and light him up. I just feel Gas deserves it more; at least he beat a very game Souza. Israel has bypassed all of the killers in MW thus far and Gas is the most favorable match up for him in the top 5 (not sure on current rankings) outside of maybe Souza
I’d just hate to see Israel win and somehow land in the title spot if Whittaker has health issues just in time for Romero, Souza, Weidman, and Moose to kind of fade off, and Rockhold be at lhw
Obviously Moose is w/ Bellator but he’s an mma staple nonetheless
MW as a whole is about to fall off hard

It's too bad that most of the good fighters in the division are pushing 40. It's sad that we can't see Jacare, Yoel, Anderson, etc. fight each other in their prime.Originally Posted by 441Forty

I was seriously considering betting on Gastelum but the size difference is too much imo.
I really don’t rate Adesanya that highly at all. I think Whittaker and Romero would decimate his bung hole.
Lol @ him mentioning Jon Jones

Millender's grappling was exposed last fight. If he hasn't cleaned that up he will lose the fight.

Same problems for Millender, too much time against the fence and doesn't have anything off his back, just sitting with his shoulders flat in half guard.
If you're not going to get off the fence your opponent can just chain wrestle for 5 minutes, eventually you will go down.

After the dillishaw incident they're still showing commercials with him in it, very confusing

Is there any good fights other then the main and co? Looks so weak. Googled the fight card before I came to this thread, and was in awe that that for those 2 main fights you'd think they'd have put some other goods ones. You had better preliminary cards hell even fight pass then this main card...

Dana White and others complain about boring wrestlers but continue to promote high profile fights for guys who can't wrestle. Self-inflicted wounds.
You inject a bunch of inexperienced kickboxers from the minor leagues and the contender series, and seasoned pros will just take them down. Get better mma fighters.
