I think he suffers the same problem as Lesnar in that department, like Lesnar is a very good wrestler and his standup has improved, but not improved so much that it's good enough to hang with any of the top strikers in hw. Rashad over Davis easily unless Davis has improved vastly in the standup department which I don't think he has, like he's definitiely improved each fight he has had, but it's not to that point that I think he outstrikes Rashad or any of the top strikers in lhw or even hang with them(like Etim did with Barboza for instance, even if Barboza outpointed him, Etim still hanged in there). Belfort over wand any day of the week, only thing wand has going for him is he has better conditioning. Seems ridiculous that she's +200.ĭon't know anything about woman fighting so not gona comment. Tate tho has strong wrestling and just subbed a champion who is a very good grappler in her own right. I haven't actually seen Rousey fight though. Rousey vs Tate is because Tate is primarily a grappler and Rousey has an extremely strong sub game and should have excellent TDD from her judo career. ELite prospects like him sometimes make big jumps between fights, so it's entirely possible he just comes out on a different level than we've seen. The big caveat here is that Davis is still so young in his MMA career. Better technical striker, better chin, Vand can't take punishment, Belfort has plenty of power.Įvans is just better than Davis everywhere except for wrestling credentials-wise. Evans mma-wrestling is really good, and he'd have to get taken down to lose this one in my opinion. Is this line mostly hype? Or is it that Tates strengths matchup poorly vs rousey?Įvans i really like, but thats because i probably underrate Phils wrestling for mma. I think hes possibly overrated, but how can current Wand survive this? Vs. Posted in EDF thread but seems some of you don't go there.īelfort looks like printing money. Aldo will annihilate Korean Zombi or Hioti and Cruz is going to once again outpoint Faber.

GSP will most likely win vs Condit or Diaz, Jones will destroy whoever they put infront of him now, Anderson Silva, if it's Mark Munoz, he's going to get picked apart and if it's Sonnen, I think he AS takes it too, his ribs where damaged last time and prevented him from fighting full capacity, but idk if it matters so much when it comes to TDD. Some of the upcoming title fights are evenly matched, like there's been some title fights where you know the contender isn't going to win, Griffin vs Anderson, Maia vs Anderson, Okami vs Anderson, BJ Penn vs Sanchez, BJ Penn vs Florian, Koscheck vs GSP, Hardy vs GSP, Aldo vs Faber, Shields vs GSP, Rampage vs Jones and so on.īut this time, we got serious contenders in Bendo and Reem. I feel the titlefights upcoming are more evenly contested than what is most often the case. Yeah they're all obviously favorites, but big underdogs to all win their next fight.
