Ranking Every Upcoming Title Fight By How Close They Are
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- I own no images in this video. With the title fights we have coming up in the UFC, some of them are obvious picks that makes the fight not so intriguing, and then others involve fights that are super close which make the fight super intriguing. I ranked every upcoming title fight purely based off of how close these fights are
- Спорт
Never underestimate Pantojas ability to make every fight super close somehow
Royval was dominant
But also, it makes every one of his fights a banger. Lol
He auto adjusts to his opponents level
@@lulzywizard7576 it does lol
"You saw what he did to Johnny Walker", he and half of the division
He’s an odd ball I don’t get how you loose too figgy but beat Islam
You lot were saying the same thing about Islam when he was about to face Charles and his best wins were Drew Dober, Hooker and Bobby Green. Yet you never put your money where your mouth was because Islam was a whopping 3/1 Favorite then and now Ankalaev is currently a 2/1 favorite over Pereira..
Why do people act like ankalaev is this top line grappler he had a 31% takedown accuracy and averages 3 takedown attempts a fight.
Because light heavyweight is an abomination of a division. Literally no one except for Ankalaev is half decent at grappling and it’s just filled with one dimensional guys.
@@Boogieman618 This is accurate Jan has halfway decent grappling as well but he is all over the place when he fights.
@@Boogieman618 Ankalaev took Krylov to a decision and has 0 subs, Jan submitted Krylov in the first round and has many subs on his record. He has atrocious grappling defense but he is much more dangerous on the ground than Ank
@@Boogieman618rakic is a pretty great grappler too
Exactly and people are saying he has power but the example is johnny Walker out of all people lmao
Day 4 of asking hoppero to merge 2 unranked fighters in a division to win the belt
A Payton Talbott-Raul Rosas combo would go crazy
You’ll get it
❤
@@isaiahwalton4418 imagine Shara and Bo nickal
That yousri guy who fought pereira in glory is fighting in DWCS if he gets into the UFC at MW he'll be a bad matchup for everyone
I personally think Islam vs Arman isn’t that one-sided and is actually one of the more competitive title fights
I’m a fan of arman so I hope he could pull it off
Islam doesn't like rematches and its probably gonna be islam by whatever in r2
Yea idk what Hoppero is on about
I see your point but I think that Islam is a better striker and wrestler than Arman, but I agree that it is not as one sided as people might tend to think
@@cacouillefripouille i wouldnt say he is a better wrestler than arman he is a better grappler than arman but just wrestling arman is better plus arman showed very impressive stand up vs oliveira i dont think islam will be able to take down arman but i dont think arman would want to take down islam this will be probably a stiking fight and i mean i think it will be close
If Ankalaev's name was Henry Smith, nobody would be picking him over Pereira. His grappling is so overrated - not a single win by submission in his pro career
You people will just be angry when another white man wins yet another belt
People just pick him because he's Dagestani
alex knocks out ankalaev in the first round. I'll come back to this.
Doing tricks on it
@@Don-zh2sb what? just what I think. Inbred is overhyped.
Specially after Ankalaev said he would beat a glory kickboxing champion in the standup. He is gonna get CHAMAed and will start wrestling for his life after the first calf kicks.
Dude if he couldn’t do it to jiri who’s literally a striker twice in the first round he’s not going it to ankalaev
@@po1arz352it’s harder to KO strikers than non strikers ya dumb dumb
Islam vs arman not so obvious in my opinion
Ya I was surprised that was in the obvious category. I think Islam will smoke him, but I have seen mma UA-camrs say they think Arman would win. The reason I think it’s an easy Islam win is that I don’t really see any area where Arman could create significant offense. Arman has good grappling but not good enough to really generate any offense against Islam. And same with the striking. Arman is a great striker, but Volk and Dustin are better strikers and they had difficulty generating offense against Islam. There’s just no area where I see Arman doing enough to win 3 out of 5 rounds, and I don’t think he could finish Islam unless he gets a lucky punch.
It actually is. I would say Arman is easier for Islam than Dustin and Volk. No real advantage for Arman
Probably should’ve switched Leon V Belal and Islam V Arman, I feel like Leon is the obvious winner and Islam should be Arman but it’s atleast a challenge
Honestly I think Alex will make it look easy. Another first or second round KO for the LHW champ
He made jamahal and Jiri look easy because they are dumb and tried to fight in the pocket with alex, magomed is well rounded and will shoot takedowns, also has better defense than anyone alex fought other than izzy
@@seanc7990Ankalaev just publicly stated on Twitter that he will not shoot for takedowns and will stand with Alex for the first few rounds....
@@O.R.O.B.O.R.O.SJan said that last time and took Alex down multiple times so never know
@@O.R.O.B.O.R.O.S I doubt thats Ankalaev even twitting cause hes not the type of guy to say stuff like this
@@O.R.O.B.O.R.O.S Its not even ankalaev saying that bro cant even speak english
If Stipe is 90% the guy he was before leaving then it's a VERY hard fight for Jon
The things is, he probably isn't. father time waits for nobody
I really wish people would stop using knocking out Johnny Walker like he has and iron chin and only goes down when he blasted clean
How isn't Islam vs Arman even fairly close. Their first fight was competitive and Arman was on short notice.
Still Islam won unanimously even though he had staph and food poisoning.
Also, Arman was a big Khabib and had footage of Islam’s fight in the UFC while Islam had no footage of Arman at all.
Pereira destroys magomed idk why people think it will be close
😂
UFC should hire this man for matchmaking
I think Jones vs Stipe will be closer than people think. I still have Jones finishing him but Stipe might even take a round, kinda similar to how Holloway vs TKZ went where everyone thought Max was gonna walk though him but was competitive
It’s not that Islam is that much better than Arman. It’s that there’s no area where Arman has a real advantage, except less to lose.
Islam struggles in the last 2 rounds, Tsarukyan has a chance
Don't sleep on periera's grappling defence. Unless ankalaev is on his best game it's gonna be a knightmare for him to defeat periera
We’ll see if training with glover pays off.
@@Boogieman618A lot of UFC fans and “experts” have pointed out that Alex didn’t start kickboxing till 22. And he’s only been in the UFC since 2021. His ability to pick up combat styles is incredible
@@thomasthellamas9886that and Ank really isn’t the grappler people think he is, he’s very lackluster there and he his only example of power is on johnny Walker out of all people, I personally think it’s the dagistan hype. Plus he doesn’t deserve a title shot either because he got a draw against Jan and his most recent win is johnny Walker ranked 7th
Realistically he shouldn’t but I think dricus is probably gonna beat Izzy by UD. I just think his best days are far behind him and his title reign of boring decision after boring decision after bullshit robbery after boring decision after bullshit robbery has all caught up to him, so this will probably be his last fight if he doesn’t win.
Dricus really gonna goof his way into a W
I actually would prefer that,I like DDP more
Just wanted to say I love your videos always looking forward to watching them after work
if ilia knockouts max ima be soo pissed
He will submit him...
When*
@@carlosvg2286 where were you before 298 blawg
Jones win over gane doesn't mean a damn thing,wrestled a guy who never stepped on a wrestling matt and is now ducking well rounded young guys 😑
Ankalaev has never submitted anyone in the ufc and had weak ground and pound and ur saying he’s a threat to Alex on the ground😂. He may be able to hold down Alex for a few seconds max
Saying ankalaev beats Pereira is crazy
Dont understand why all of you guys think Jon Jones is gonna win.
-Stipe is a wrestler him self and have advantage on power, so he wont be afraid of Jon's grappling.
-Jones barely have any boxing, his striking is only using his height&reach advantage to kick knee and poke eye.
-Jones barely knock out anybody by his punch in LHW, he got even smaller chance to do it in HW.
-A powerful boxer is a big threat to Jon, that is why he is hiding from Anthony Johnson and only move up to HW after Ngannou left
Stipe is not afraid of Jon Jones' grapple, have better boxing, and heavier punch power. He will knock Jon Jones out before the fourth round. Jon know it, so he fake the injury to hide from Stipe last year
stipes 43, coming off of one of the worst ko losses I've ever seen, he has a limp these days and Jon is dirty af and ready to poke them eyes and use them needles. I doubt stipe wins because Jon rarely, if ever, takes fights he cant win. I mean bro ducked short notice fill in fighter chael sonnen
dc, chael, rampage, rashard. all wrestlers and all have better wrestling credentials than stipe. stipe 1st wrestler he fought, he was knocked out by him. and it took dc to be 40 and 41 for stipe to beat him
Gustufsson is a Swedish boxing champ. jones beat him twice. boxing is only 1 part of mma. but Gustufsson was a much better all around striker than stipe because he has elbows, kicks that stipe doesn't.
jones never had 1 much ko power and stipe doesnt either. stipe has 1 ko which he knocked someone out with 1 punch. jones never had to but never needed it
jones still has the reach and the fight iq. stipe has been dropped many times and jones has never been dropped.
@jakelongstaff4102 stipe is 41. jones hasnt had an eyepoke in over 7 years. stipe and dc had an eyepoking festival but I guess you didnt want to bring that up.
@@GoodStuff1992 hasnt had on in 7 years???? Hahah nah bro maybe 4 at a push
@@GoodStuff1992 yes but those guys you listed except rashad were all old and semi-washed or fully. Plus midt were middleeweight sized will everyone you listed being about 5’11”
Saying Islam v. Arman is obvious winner is wild.
It's fairly close.
Dude I hope Ankalaev can't walk after fighting Pereira. The first of the Dagis to fall.
People are so delusional that they believe Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic is ever happening. I am willing to make a bet that this fight ain't going to be this year at least
You're underestimating Tsarukyan
Max could finish ilia tbh
😂😂😂
Maybe if Ilia is breathing out of his mouth and stands still to let Max plant his feet and throw with everything he has.
No he won’t , Ilia destroys him
@@nestorramirez5605 nah
He couldn't finish volk 3 times yet he can finish a guy with better chin and ko power? I don't understand the insane cope of max fans everywere, it's so pathethic to look at, if topuria loses this fight it will be a massive let down for sure
What is he gonna do to alex? The man hasn't done much on the ground 😂 he's not gonna submit nor ground and pound
Whats he gonna do to Alex? He will BEAT Alex lol
@@JayDee-w3d doubt it lol
@@say_official_ty why not? He's already been knocked out cold, and got a gift decision against a 40-year-old Jan. He's definitely beatable.
@JayDee-w3d he got knocked cuz he had bad weight cut against Izzy. I'm not saying he's unbeatable
@@say_official_ty he got knocked out because he got caught. No excuses.
Holloway/Topuria is 50/50. 50% chance Ilia gets knocked out and 50% he gets tooled for 25 min straight
Why everybody doubting ilia hes probably the most well rounded fighter
Tbh Islam vs Dustin was a reality check for Islam. He's not khabib. One judge even had fight level on points after 4th. Arman vs Islam is a lot closer than most think.
Next Alex vs anklaev. Another fight where just being a dagestani means getting extra points. He's not that good at wrestling and he's calling for a knockout. Won't be surprised seeing his head getting bounced off the canvas.
Stipe vs jones isn't one sided. Stipe if he's who he was, then jones would be slept. Easy.
Lastly, adesanya vs du plessis. Another where if experienced guy(adesanya) is as good as his former self then it's a done deal.
i mean but arman is very good also you cant compare them bc of their first fight because it was armans debut adn he took it on 10 days notice and the arman fight bc we can agree arman has better wrestling but not grappling so this will be amostly standing fight which is why you also cant compare them by their fight agaisnt charles when arman has very good wrestling offensively and defensively but no bjj and showed good striking vs charles so id say this is a fairly close fight
Islam took that fight on short notice as well and was previosly hospitalized before that fight. Also agree to what? Islam out wrestled him in their fight and arman can't even beat gamrot in wrestling. Also good striking? It was decent at best.
Islam is a better grappler, striker, and edges him out in wrestling. we saw both of their performances against charles and islam definitely did better while Arman was almost finished multiple times
@@loser9208 did he thought in their performance all i got is that arman and islam is a better striker and wrestler than charles and i agree islam is a better grappler but arman was only 22 and that was his debut on 10 days notice he definitly improved more than islam since their last fight also i would argue that gamrot is also a better wrestler than islam hes not as effective on the ground but id say he is a better wrestler than islam
Arman and Islam is definitely in the 50/50 section, you’re underselling the fight.
Their fight 6 years ago doesn’t really prove anything, rematches happen all the time with different winners. Edwards lost very clearly to Usman in their first fight then beat him decisively in their next two. McGregor lost to Diaz decisively the first fight then beat him the next. Stupid reason to pick someone
Their performances against Charles also aren’t good indications of anything, styles make fights. Strickland lost to Pereira, Izzy beat Pereira, then Strickland beat Izzy. How did that work?
As far as grappling, maybe you’re right but Arman def has better wrestling from a takedown perspective and Islam isn’t a diverse submission artist, he just gets subs from chain wrestling which he won’t be better at than Arman. I actually think there’s a better chance Arman succeeds in taking Islam down, especially considering Islam severely struggled to take down Porier who has non functional hips
The striking is interesting, but it’s clear that Arman is faster and more powerful. The only way Islam can win striking exchanges is by closing the distance, which I don’t think he will be able to most of the time
Styles makes fights? Except for the fact that arman has a damn near identical style to islam he isn't any different. Islam is just a better version of Arman
How?
Islam out-wrestled arman in their fight and went on to outgrapple everyone he ever fought including all time greats like charles and volk. While arman was outwrestled and outgrappled by gamrot
Islam is a better grappler, striker, and edges him out in wrestling. Plus we saw both of their performances against charles and islam definitely did better while Arman was almost finished multiple times
"As far as grappling, maybe you’re right but Arman def has better wrestling from a takedown perspective and Islam isn’t a diverse submission artist"
He doesn't need to be. I know your an mma casual but their are only 3 submissions which are really used in almost every mma bought. While islam so far has used 6 unique submissions
"he just gets subs from chain wrestling which he won’t be better at than Arman"
He's better than arman than that. A dehydrated and weakened islam outwrestled volk while arman was outwrestled by gamrot. Also he doesn't mostly use chain wrestling most of his submissions have come from knocking people down then jumping for their neck. Which as we saw in the charles fight arman leaves his neck wide open
" I actually think there’s a better chance Arman succeeds in taking Islam down, especially considering Islam severely struggled to take down Porier who has non functional hips"
Islam was confirmed to have staph in that fight and still outgrappled porier while arman again was outgrappled by gamrot
"The striking is interesting, but it’s clear that Arman is faster and more powerful"
According to what? Arman has been outstruck by every striker has ever fought and charles himself has said islam's punches were harder.
@@loser9208 Ok, let’s go through everything
“Arman has a damn near identical style to Islam”
Right off the bat, that’s just completely wrong. Arman has a much better ground and pound game than Islam for one whereas Islam tends to go for more submissions; Arman is also a more explosive wrestler. In the striking, they look very different also. Arman does a very good job from the outside with kicks and outside punches whereas Islam fights in a more traditional boxing style. For Islam to outstrike Arman, he would have to close the distance and he hasn’t shown the ability to do that with any strikers of that style. Islam is more of a counter puncher if anything. You guys just think “Muslim looking guy with funny beard” = Same style
“Islam out-wrestled arman in their fight”
Who cares what happened 6 years ago? Fighters change. This is such a stupid argument tbh, Usman outstruck Leon in their first fight then got outstruck in both subsequent rematches.
“Arman was outwrestled and outgrappled by gamrot”
Gamrot would also outwrestle Islam. Gamrot is by far the best wrestler in the lightweight division and I think PfP right now as well. He’s a multiple time European champion and ADCC veteran. He also has unlimited cardio (a big weakness for Islam).
“Islam has used 6 unique submissions”
You misunderstood what I said. By diverse submission artist, I mean you find submissions from many angles. You can find it through the striking (like dropping someone and submitting them), off of your back, wrestling, etc. Islam mostly does wrestling, control, and then eventually a submission maybe. Charles Oliveira is a perfect example of a diverse submission artist.
“A dehydrated and weakened islam outwrestled volk”
First of all, I’m tired of this dehydrated narrative which Muslim casuals started espousing and making up to account for Islam’s poor performance in the first fight. Both Islam and Volk had the same time to dehydrate and they both weigh the exact same (180 lbs) offseason. If Islam was dehydrated, it’s his fault. I swear, it’s a new thing every time Islam has a lackluster performance. Staph infection, dehydration, his d*** got stuck in the laundry machine, etc. If this keeps happening, there’s no reason we won’t assume it’ll happen again.
Secondly, Volk is a striker and still fended off nearly all of his attacks. Islam similarly struggled against Dustin, a retiring striker with non functional hips, failing most of his takedowns.
“He doesn’t mostly use chain wrestling”
What are you even talking about? There are basically two times where this didn’t happen and that was Charles Oliviera (because Oliveira’s jiu jitsu prevented that from happening) and Thiago Moises. All of his other subs are from wrestling. He’s not gonna manage to submit Arman, there’s no chance.
“Charles fight Arman leaves his neck wide open”
You call me a casual, saying dumb shit like this? What does it mean to leave your neck wide open? Get caught in submission “attempts” from the greatest submission artist in the UFC? Ok buddy
“Islam was confirmed to have staph in that fight”
Another poor excuse unfounded in reality. Yes Islam had staph but he also got the infection not even a week out from the fight and he wasn’t on any antibiotics. Staph infections suck because of the antibiotics and affect performance that way, which just wasn’t the case here.
“Arman has been outstruck by every striker has ever fought”
This isn’t even remotely true. If you look up Arman’s record, in terms of significant strikes, there is only one person who has ever outstruck him and that’s Damir Ismagulov by 2 significant strikes. Arman has outstruck everybody else on the feet. He outstruck Oliveira on the feet by over 3:1 in significant strikes, KO’d Beneil in under a minute, outstruck Matt Frevola, OAM, Christos Giagos (who he KO’d) (these are the only strikers he has ever faced).
“Charles himself has said Islam’s punches were harder”
He never said that
“Plus we saw both of their performances against Charles”
We also saw a different Charles fight both of those fights. In one of those fights, he was reckless, bull rushed at Islam, and fought the way he normally fights against strikers not realizing there’s a totally different stylistic matchup right in front of him. In the other, he was super careful on the feet, took very little risks, and just lied on his back waiting for a submission opportunity. You just can’t compare the two. Oliveira choked Dustin by the start of the third round whereas it took Islam a war and a desperate 5th round last minute submission to get it done. So now Oliviera is better than Islam? This logic is stupid
Lol i on the other hand think most people are picking Pereira to win the fight
Arman and Islam I would put in the 50/50 categori for sure
How?
Islam is a better grappler, striker, and edges him out in wrestling. Plus we saw both of their performances against charles and islam definitely did better while Arman was almost finished multiple times
@@loser9208holy casual now wonder you call yourself a loser
@@loser9208 well style makes fights like how Strickland beat Izzy. So Arman does have a chance and I do think Arman wins that fight
@@BradenCasper Islam is better than him at everything and charles himself said arman has no chance of beating islam. So how
@@loser9208 well how bout this. After Arman and Islam fight we’ll both come back to this comment and prove each other wrong. Deal?
Wait.. Islam v Arman obvious winner? Islam is not invincible and Arman is much improved. Much closer to 50/50 category… don’t feed too much into the narratives brotherrrrrr

Arman was 22 when he fought Islam on very short notice. Gave Islam one of the toughest if not the toughest fight of his career. He’s improving at a faster rate than Islam is and is a nightmare matchup. With a full training camp I’d put my money on Tsarukyan to win
Arman was also very clearly robbed against gamrot. As u saw gamrot got smoked by dariush meanwhile Arman destroyed him easily
@@KevDeh1 Toughest fight in his career?
Islam landed 4 takedowns on arman, while arman landed 1 on him and he outstruck arman and got a UD. What fucking fight did you watch?
This was also a short notice islam who just came out of the hospital. Faster rate yet he lost to gamrot and was almost finished by charles.
MMA isn't for everyone. Watch another sport
@@KevDeh1 Not a robbery. Styles makes fights and as we saw arman loses to more technical grapplers.
I think Ankalaev takes Alex down for the last minute of the first round, then Alex comes out and KOs him in the 2nd
I don’t even think Ankalaev will be able to get a clean take down and get the back or top position
Pereira last 2 performances have been so good. Last year i was thinking ankleav would win but pereira is just something else but we’ll see
Honestly, if Walker survived round one with Ankalaev, then I say Pereira wins the scrap
HOPPERO , LIKE YOU SAID A CLOSE FIGHT BETWEEN MAX HOLLOWAY AND ILIA EL MATADORKY GOT MAX REGAINNING DA TITLE .
No Aspinall vs Blaydes 2??
Day 17 of asking hoppero to make a video on his top 20 best mma fighters of all time
Erceg was just underrated, Moreno and Royval were the legit 2 and 3 in the division. The division is just closer at the top than you’re expecting. All three fights were rightfully close.
Idk imho adesnya ddp is more close than topuria max. Like adesanya is overall better but when tf he fought last time i think he is not in form yet
last time izzy fought he did exactly what he usually does and even had his highest output ever, its just he was fighting a guy who's nearly unhittable
@@jakelongstaff4102 idk sean isnt so good imho, but im pretty sure that ilia has really good chances against max. I dont see max winning ilia in close distance and ilia is really good in shortening distance
@@user-iz4zo4lq4r tf you mean sean isnt good lol. To an untrained eye sure but he’s extremely good and we see that everytime he fights except the pereira performance
@@user-iz4zo4lq4r true but if ilia gets in close he opens himself to two of maxs best weapons, the spinning back kick and uppercuts up the middle as ilias swinging or digging to the body. Even knees (which ik we dont see oit of max much) and the occasional straight’s as ilia enters the pocked etc. ive seen max get outboxed by one guy and it took the dude 3 fights too do it convincingly
Shavkhat Rakhmanov vs Leon Edwards???
Build a card for sphere
izzy can short-ranged fight (he countered-attack whitakker and alex) , ddp gotta work hard on grapling (i think ddp is really flexible , strong and well stamina)
135 145 155 170 and 205 are all super close title fights honestly
replace 170 with 185
I would have put belal Edward’s down to fairly close. Belals cardio tends to be his best asset and we didn’t see him long enough fight 1 to judge this one. Both fighters seem to be way more developed I’m almost seeing it as a brand new fight. Islam for some reason my first inclination would be to put him should win not definite although I get ur reasoning regarding skill for skill comparisons
Yeah no one think Stipe would win. The dude hasn’t fought in almost 4 years. Like whats the point in the fight. I know Jones is inactive as hell but he is the younger and better fighter so he should win.
For me
Lightweight bantamweight and specially featherweight shouldn't be close. Ilia is levels above Max imo.
I have 50-50 between DDP and Izzy
Y no Tom Aspinall he is the REAL ufc Heavyweight champ
he is until the real champ enters the cage for a fight.
I actually think the bs HW title fight is less of a sure thing than the real one. Meaning Stipe has a better chance against Jones than Blaydes has against Tom.
Sean eats Merab
Cold take, ank doesn’t deserve a title shot
"You saw what he did to Johnny Walker" shouldn't be brought up knowing what most of the lhw did to this dud 😂
Should've been "You know what this stoic person did to Prochazka"
Ilia clears
Merab is 100% boring. Shoots 100 takedowns a fight and doesn’t nothing with them. Also I think islam arman is closer than you think even though I have islam winning
Merab is a worse version of Sterling. O’Malley will smoke him
Alex will sleep Magomed 100%, ESPECIALLY if he follows thru wit his promise to not wrestle the first 15 minutes (if he makes it), which I believe he will try after striking for prolly like 5 mins wit Alex
How is the Islam fight an obvious winner at all? It genuinely should be close given the first Volk fight and the stylistic matchup
Dricus isn't the worst champ. That's Pantoja.
Saying look what he did to Walker as if that’s a feat?
Where Blaydes vs Aspinall?
Where would you guys put Aspinall vs Blaydes?
i think Aspinal is the obvious winner
@@ryanzhu9313 nah, it's fairly close bro. I actually think Blaydes is a tougher fight for Tom than Jon would be stylistically.
@JayDee-w3d if blaydes uses his wrestling, he would win
@@GoodStuff1992 If he doesn't get knocked out again. He couldn't take Pavlo down then got knocked out. If Tom fights smart he will win. Like I said, Jones is an easier style for Tom stylistically.
Great video but I have to disagree in a few areas.
I think Max will comfortably beat Ilya. He’s long, has good takedown defence and an iron chin. It’s a nightmare matchup for Ilya.
Arman vs Islam will be razor close. MMA math doesn’t work, so Charles shouldn’t be used for the eye test. I see Islam edging out a decision.
Merab will almost certainly dominate Sean O’Malley. If Henry can’t stop his wrestling surely Sean won’t. He doesn’t leave his chin up in the air like Aljo. He’s smaller and faster making him much harder to hit. Just look at his domination of Yan. Yan is the best striker in the division. He wins vs suga if that fight is 5 rounds.
People on the Alex hype train need to take a step back. I love Alex but he isn’t a grappler. Jamal Hill and Jiri are gift wrapper matchups for him. Look at how Jan was able to control Alex. Alex’s knockouts are insane, but he better hope that left hook lands or he will certainly lose.
Alex's grappling has vastly improved since Jan
Makhachev vs Tsarukyan is much closer than people think.
bru if ankalaev wasnt dagestani nobody would be picking him to beat pereira bro literally has no subs in his career and people still glaze his grappling
Because grappling isn't just subs. He outgrappled Jan and all his opponents which is why people believe he will outgrapple alex
Injured gilbert burns. I don’t remembers burns coming to the fight injured
Belal will beat leon, come back to this comment mfs lfg
Belal might beat Edwards fr
Hollaway eats topouria
Damn, how can you speak so fast
du ples did not beat strickland ngl
Arman beats Islam, jaw dropped when you said obvious winner fr
How?
Islam is a better grappler, striker, and edges him out in wrestling. Plus we saw both of their performances against charles and islam definitely did better while Arman was almost finished multiple times
ankalaev fairly close?? lol
Islam and Jon are surely not “obvious winners”
I believe in stipe
Ankaleav is so overrated. Who has he beat? Johnny walker, the mans who chin is literally paper? His two good wins are Ozedemir and Johnny walker. He lost to Jan and Paul craig, his TD avg is 31%, and his striking is miles worse then Pereira. Pereira has improved his takedown defense, is a BJJ black belt, and his striking is getting better and better. Ankaleav is no Jon jones, he's not going to take him down and pummel him, he's going to get caught multiple times and Ko'd.
Ank is a "nightmare matchup". 0 sub wins in UFC btw. bro is not beating Alex
grappling isn't just subs. He outgrappled Jan and all his opponents which is why people believe he will outgrapple alex
Anyone else here a oven beeping the back?
volk's son won the fake madeup toy belt and now everyone thinks he will beat makhachev, ilia, leon, periera. he hasnt touched a championship belt since 2019 calm your tits down
I said Stipe'd beat JJ a year ago... I still think he has a chance 😅
Bro how is Islam Arman in obvious winner
Leeun edwards
Ddp aint the worst champ rn
Ilia is going to destroy max and it’s not close 😂
I will be happy for a weak if Jon Jones lose
Dricus TKOs Adesanya with a spinning flying knee to the toe
Belal will 50/45 Edwards
Stipe Miocic will beat Jon Jones
and Tom Aspinall, and Alex Pereira, and Marcin Tybura
W
I wish bruddah
I don't like O'malley but if he put aljo with his wrestling to sleep, why he is not doing the same to Merab???
Yeah Merab isn't finishing O'Malley out, Suga has five rounds to clip him. It will be more of a test of Sean's takedown defense.
Merab is a way different fighter than aljo. He’s a more versatile and athletic version of Aljo because of his insane cardio. Yan couldn’t clip him because of the takedown threat the whole fight and Sean debatably loss against him.
The difference between Suga Aljo and Merab is that Merab actually beat Petr yan didn’t rob him or DQ him😅
@@joeswanson5486 Weird how Aljo had 3 defenses but I never felt like he was the legitimate champ at any period of time
@@Boogieman618Yan would have a harder time keeping Merab at range though because he’s short, unlike suga. Also Yan plants his feet a lot, Omalley is always moving
ankalaev is the light heavyweight curtis blaydes. he'll find a way to lose lol
Lol casual. Saying Arman vs Islam has an obvious winner and Leon vs Belal shouldn't be close is outrageous 🤣🤣😂😂
This guy has ridiculously stupid takes sometimes
@@user-zh4op9ji6n what is Arman’s best win? And how was Belal doing in the first fight?
@@thomasthellamas9886 Oliveira and Dariush. Both Top 5 opponents and one of which he slept in under a minute. Also who did Ilia beat until he fought for the title? Still slept #2 pfp Volk
arman is not an obvious winner😂 he is a grwat fighter but this fight is challenging for islam for sure
man I love your content but you are saying things for 4-5 times every minute....
Ilia vs holloway is clear ilia sleeps him easily
Not clear it’s going to be very very close
I disagree with the “Islam beat Oliveira easier” Oliveira 10-8ed Dustin the 2nd and finsihed him in the 3rd earlier than Islam but look at Islam vs Oliveira
Yea mma math
Except for the fact that charles almost lost against rd1 dustin. While staph infection islam won all rds and outstruck dustin.
Plus we are talking about two dudes with a similar style (arman and islam) who both beat charles. Charles himself claimed islam is a much better fighter than arman.
Jones vs Stipe is so ridiculous, no one wants to see this fight. Such a waste of time.
bro is actually running out of ideas
