Grant/Maynard...I love it.

Nurmagomedov/Trujillo will be violent.

I agree Head isn't bad. My point is that Pyle just didn't look like his usual self in that fight. He definitely didn't look like the guy who murderlized Hathaway and put Funch in a bodybag.

Could be because Head is a good striker and he wanted to be cautious. If I remember correctly he was staggered by Head before he knocked him out. I just rewatched part of Gunnar/Santiago and I may have underestimated him. I saw him before in the third round when he was a little more tired and thats probably why he looked bad.

I just watched a promo video for this and JDS was talking about how he intends to takedown Hunt. I can't wait to see the line on JDS by submission.

I don't think he subs Hunt. Hunt seems to have a knack for slithering out of bad positions (obviously straight armbar to McCorkle as an exception). Plus I've never even seen JDS attempt a submission.

[trotterz]

Pretty sure hunt was subbed in a couple minutes by a middle weight not too long ago

[zY|]

Actually that was 4 years ago. And I think McCorkle subbing him is far more damning than being subbed by Mousasi. I guess JDS could sub him, I'm sure he's plenty competent on the ground, but I doubt he's secretly some surprise ground wizard. That's just not his game.

[poopoo333]

Mark Hunt might take JDS' pants down in the middle of the octagon and start sucking his dick until JDS taps.

[edman5555]

I dont think mccorkle is really that great to be honest. Jds is supposedly a black brlt in jiu jitsu.

[edman5555]

Looking at Dennis Bermudez to take down Holloway and dominate him there..poireir tapped him out super quick. He was a white belt in bjj at the time. I know because i read it in an interview.
Bermudez was an all american wrestler. He should be able to get holloway down.

[edman5555]

I am also thinking Cerrone should win..

[poopoo333]

Cerrone and Noons will be close imo. I'll be on Noons.

[Svino]

Looking at the 5d odds, I think I like some favorites here. Namely Teixeira over Te Huna at -280, Story over Pyle at -170, and Maynard over Grant at -200.

Story is a better (and tougher) fighter than the guys Pyle has been knocking out. Maynard will probably be able to work his old wrestling game on Grant, who has historically weak TDD. As with Pyle, Te Huna's win streak has come against guys that don't seem to be anywhere near Teixeira's level, whereas this is probably a step down for Grover after Rampage.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, Glover is going to win easy.

[Vandelay]

ORiginally I was liking Hunt over JDS, but this late arrival to the US is probably gonna suck for him. Wish he would have gotten his visa sooner

[poopoo333]

Cain/Bigfoot under 1.5 rounds is +155
