Murzakanov is the only hypetrain here. People who think him or Allen have a chance at winning are delusional

I thought the chicken wing and chicken breast analogy was cleaver.

Listen, I know Volk is a great fighter and anyone that goes up against him looks like they lost a step. However did you see Maxs last fight against Volk?  Max was way behind Volk.
Max has been in the UFC 11 years with 26 fights.
Let that sink in.
You may love Max Holloway
but
that is a lot of mileage at the top.  He has been in many tough fights.
Allen on the other hand, 8 years with 10 fights.
He is younger.  He is stronger.  He hasn't been busted up by the game. He is a skilled 19-1 fighter.

We won't have to wait much longer for the result.

Imo volk would do the same thing to allen. There’s levels at 145. Everyone saw how close volk made the islam fight; respectfully there’s nobody at 145 close to his level currently

I don't think I've seen a post get 1 up vote with 17 down votes in, a long time. How did you get unbanned? I thought it was permanent. Tapology's infamous bastard is back and getting into his groove again.

Holloway vs. Allen
Max Holloway, DEC
I have mixed feelings on this one. I feel that Arnold is the better all around fighter here but he won’t have enough volume to win a 5 round decision versus Max. I think Allen would win a 3 round fight but not 5. I see it being 3-2 Max. Allen taking the early rounds then Max taking 3, 4 and 5

@flying_frontkick

People took what I said the wrong way.

There is a reason people have massive weight cuts.  Big weight cuts help a lot of fighters when fights.
Simple.
At the top level, a size advantage could mean everything.
Some Tapology members went and made it sexual.
I don't understand why they went that direction but that's a conversation they can have with themselves.

I don't have anything else to say here until fight night.


BTW it's good to see old-timers posting.

@ModestMan

I'm not a great picker, but at 18, his opposition, and the fact that he was talking about winning belts in three divisions, I didn't look over the opponent he was facing even though he seemed tailored for Rosas, I thought his camp (Duke Roufus) would be prepared for such a one trick fighter. 

Yanez losing sucked, but he'll be back. He needs to work on his defence, even Tony Kelley cut him, but I like Font so these things happen.

Yeah and the back & forward that Yanez had with Costa lived in my head rent free everytime I tried to pick him, I just couldn’t imagine Font not hurting him bad after seeing Costa put paws on him the way he did before getting finished and Costa and Font are leap years apart in skill. Remembering fighters recent fights is very important. Yanez will be back though, he’s eager and will learn from that

And I actually liked Christian for that fight, it was the weight cut and missing that pushed me away from him. If it wasn’t for that I would’ve leaned on him some for sure. When it’s 2 skilled fighters with good camps the technically sound & calm fighter will win almost everytime versus the bat out of hell fighter

I don’t get why you saying people are salty that Yanez, Perreria  and Font won when you the only one to mention it, really seems like you trying to brag about picking underdogs, and in my opinion, I don’t think Yanez and Perreria look bad, they just got caught , And Raul Rosa did look bad, but he’s also 18, 

And for the record, I pick Izzy and Font, and bet C-rod,
