UFC 138

[SPX]

Paul Taylor has a ground game?

I'm pretty sure he took Lytle down at least once, if only briefly.

Maybe I need to take another look at Njokuani's ground game. Not sure what would benefit him by taking Taylor down.

One brief takedown? Oh I see!!!!

Benefit would be: to steal the round, stay on top, take advantage of Taylor's horrible T3D. Taylor's only chance is a KO imo

[SPX]

I was more contrasting Lytles T3D to Njokuani's, dickhead.

And I'm not so much arguing for Taylor as I am arguing against the line.

I guess I've just lost too many bets that should've won.

Jesus fucking Christ!

What is that?!

Thats the face I made when Melvin got dropped and choked out last month.

[SPX]

I negged Melvin after that performance.

UFC 138 loses Taylor-Njokuani; Diabate-Perosh promoted to main card

Figures. Taylor always pulls out close to fight time since he dropped to LW, -300 that this is weight related

[poopoo333]

^^nvm apparently he got whiplash in a car wreck

If Perosh holds @+300 I will be happy

[Svino]

I think the Perosh - Diabate line is probably about right.

Perosh has decent bjj, but weak standup and takedowns that are not as good as they need to be. I would say he has never beaten a good opponent, and probably does not belong in the UFC at all.

Yes, Diabate is kind of one-dimensional, and we know that one-dimensional grapplers beat one-dimensional strikers, but I think these guys are on different levels. This fight is going to be brutal -- most likely outcome is Perosh leaving the cage on a stretcher.

damnit 5dimes. break the lnes already so i can unload on caraiso

Che Mills is going to beat Cope isn't he? Cope is impossible to take down, but Mills has been in there with way better strikers (Marius Z) and won.

I don't see anything on this card. I like Munoz, but his line seems a little pricey to me. At this point, it is Leben or nothing.

Looked at De Fries/Broughton... nothing to see. De Fries has won all his fights by submission, Broughton is tough to finish though, and has more experience. Tought to know what will happen there.

I think Cariaso should have an advantage over Vaughn Lee, but there is not much to see on Lee. Cariaso is pretty tough and well rounded though. But I am not really confident enough to bet it without more info on Lee.

I am looking hard at Edwards. Maguire is a wrestler with no wrestling backround, I don't know that he is going to be able to get on top of an actual wrestler in Edwards. At that line, Edwards migbht be worth a play. Here is Maguire:

Thoughts on Jason Young pulling out an upset? I think he did good vs Poirier

Haven't looked at that one. Omigawa is durable grinder though, how was Young's td defense against Poirier? I didn't see the fight.

[Vandelay]

Kinda liked what i saw out of de fries. Doggedly pursues the takedown similar to how jake shields usually does. Not bad on top either.
