Mir's striking really has gotten better in recent years and he might be able to use movement to try and replicate what JDS did to Nelson but I think Frank's pride gets in the way and he decides to duke it out on the ground with Big Country. Roy NelsonĪ great match-up that will put the winner back into the title picture. Travis Browne might bloody the Dutchman's face, but everybody does and then they get knocked out of submitted.
#KIRBY BUCKETS SCRAWL AND BRAWL HOW TO#
Hopefully he has been putting on some muscle and learning how to jab because once he gets his striking tidied up and learns to wrestle he can be a serious threat to a lot of heavyweights. Don't forget that Alves has some of the best TD at welterweight and can remain cool under fire.
Probably the first, hopefully the second. The way he puffs his chest out makes me want to root for Alves, who will either take a decision from outpointing Story on the feet or activate beast mode and wreck him. I don't know why, but Rick Story comes off as an asshole to me. It won't be clean and easy, but Stann is coming into his own and will soon be a top-10 middleweight. I think some people are undervaluing Santiago in this one but based on the grit and power that Stann showed in his fight with Leben, I think I have to go with the favorite on this one. if he gets taken down, don't be surprised if those long limbs end up getting him an armbar or triangle from the bottom. While the speed and wrestling of Johnson will present some problems for Torres, his new-found patient approach will serve him well as he keeps distance and tries to pepper Johnson with shots. I'll never forget Boetsch rag-dolling David Heath so as long as he makes weight and still has some energy to spare (his first time at 185), he should be able to put his hands on Grove's suspect chin early.īantamweight bout: Miguel Torres vs. I'd be fine seeing Grove get fucked up here and he very well might. Tibau, the largest lightweight in the history of the world, will try to use his size and improved boxing to bully Oliveira around the cage but I'm gonna take the smaller guy locking up a submission in the 2nd. Glad to see more and more little guys making their way onto cards. McDonald should take this one in an entertaining fight.
If the 25-1 record looks padded, well, it is, but he should be able to take the W over Escovedo.īantamweight bout: Michael McDonald vs. Cole EscovedoĮscovedo's battle with staph five years ago took him out of the game for a while but he has been back and shown that the dude can still fight but he runs into a little Brazilian wrecking ball in the form of Renan. Let's look at the card:īantamweight bout: Renan Barão vs. I dunno if it's worth 45 bucks or not but it's been shown time and again that the cards you think you can sleep on end up being really good. Frankie and Gray got injured and now we are faced with another card a lot of people are calling weak.
