Brian Ortega has stated himself that he had accepted a fight at 155 lbs for the Sphere. Might play into him having a tough weight cut? Who knows. I completely forgot that Alex Pereira broke his toe at/around UFC 300. It's funny as Conor is out with a broken toe. I have broken a toe before, and it didn't affect my movement (I was boxing at the time and wasn't as lazy as I am now), so that doesn't change my pick. To be fair, mine was no where near as bad as Conor's which does look nasty
Nice content as always, bro! Sorry for the long text but here we go... This time i'll disagree with you about doesn't pick Jean Silva. I don't see Jourdain's as a good fighter like most of the people see him. He's just a exciting fighter with a bit of technic that likes to go into wars and nothing else. Everybody talks about his fights and wins on ufc, his experience and i get it but his wins on the UFC are not high quality opponents, just low/mid level guys (maybe his best win is over Kron Graice, who can't strike well, just have a solid Jiu Jitsu game, and Ricardo Ramos that fight was a joke, Ramos basically gave the guilhotine to Jourdain the same way he did in the next fight agains Erosa, the same mistake in 2 fights in a row. We can talk about the fight against Erosa too, because Erosa gave one or two knockdowns on him, and that guy doesn't have the same power that Jean's have). Jean's got the power advantage, for sure, and i think he's way more agressive and technical than Jourdain, if Jourdain wants to go to war (and he always want it), Jean will put him to sleep. The only way i can imagine Jourdain winning this fight is holding Jean on the fence, on a boring decision, not a k.o or submission, but yeah i think Jean will win this because he's way more agressive and got a pretty good cardio too (you can see it on his fight in the contender series). I got Jean at +270 and i put 880$ on him, now he's +200 here in Brazil so yeah, i'm very conffident on him winning this fight!
I can’t bet against MVP if Garry can somehow conquer the pocket then I might be scared with perirea he’s to fast for jiri ain’t no way he losing he’s been training so he should be good also Lopez for the W
Jiří is aware of his mistake, I think he will adjust his tactics and give Pereira 4.5 rounds, he is 37 years old, worse cardio, basically his KO is based on Jiří going crazy and only countering, it depends on Jiří which way will marry . We'll see.
Mannnn I really really disagree on your Tsuruya analysis, I think he is far more dominant, faster, and stronger in the grappling department than Taira and I can see a first round sub here all day. Taira’s style is slower, more methodical… which definitely has its upsides but Tsuruyas success in this fight will be a lot closer to what Nascimento did to Carlos. I can see a twister, considering what Rei did to that Indonesian guy on RTU, or even a rnc since his back control is excellent. I truly believe in Tsuruya he has shown unbelievable levels of dominance and control for as young as he is and beat that AKA plant Climaco by Dec which reassures me of any potential cardio issues since he won the third round of that matchup
I think he's definitley more of a latent talent than Taira. His wrestling is truly special and he makes it look effortless. He was able to dominate a guy like Climaco in the first round even off of weird wizzer throws that happened with an ease that made it seem like Climaco was fighting a guy twice his weight. He has a lot to gain from experience though, fight iq and conditioning are a work in progress, but the kind of wrestling pace he puts on is Chimaev-esque.
Didnt we hear this same song everytime Ortega is fighting a solid striker? "Holloway is going to ko t-city", "Volk is going to ko t-city", "yaïr is going to ko t-city"... ppl are approaching this fight like they did with Poirier vs BSD, the new guy is going to flatten the ufc household vet. Wasnt Ortega the first fighter that gave Frankie Edgar his first KO, a former ufc champ with an iron chin?
CJ, MB, PT, RS/VdO (RS), MA-B, RT, GR/MW (GR), AF, MVP, MBS, DL, RD/AS (RD), AP/JP (AP), $80 in $5 slips, should have a winner! Any leftover, sprinkle onto BO in the DL fight for kicks-and-giggles. ArtemMMA is way better than the WWP shills who cover for their losses and still try to sell premium, whilst "@"ing their own subscribers.
I feel like Alex has good defense, but isn't that durable. There's been multiple instances where you can see Alex getting hurt, but he finds a way. Jiri is more of a berserker than a Samuari in my eyes, absorb damage and plot forward.
Some brazillian coaches are manipulative gamers. Ask the ref ahead of time if it's legal to punch a tittie then go for it. Silva will be looking for the liver kick. But it's the type of fight the announcers will be disagreeing who won based on control vs damage. Bueno hits hard but gets controlled for lengthy periods. Macy should use her length rd 1 and go for control later. Macy should be the favorite if it goes like Buenos last fight.
Idk why but I’ve had a suspicious feeling that he’s going to beat Alex. All logic says he looses but something in the air feels like he’s going to win. Like the mma gods have foreseen it. I’m throwing $100 on him! Haha

jiri will probably get tko'd again, jiri's chin is just up in the air for pereira to hit for a homerun

They should take the bueno silva fight off the main card and swipe it with pyfer’s fight

I’m also thinking the ortega vs lopes fight might start of slow
Apparently brian said that he will eventually move up to 155 how do you think he will do at lightweight?
@@DantheMan31799 now that you've commented it I've just read a report saying he accepted a fight at 155 for the Sphere. Interesting
I’m thinking tolbert and pereira and lopes can go over 1.5 rounds but it’s a tricky situation
Alex is a ko machine I’d be careful, I’d switch it with Ian v mvp round 2 to start bc they definitely playing it safe
