I’m no Pereira fan but this fight is gonna be pretty easy for him. Sergei is super mediocre. I was watching his fights back and he really doesn’t have anything other than a wide sloppy overhand. His defense is not good at all and his chinny. Decision with Biggy Boy. With Waldo. And he got schooled by Volkov. Pereira’s gonna counter him bad early and ko him.
ESPN mma just dropped a list of the top 30 fighters under 30 years old.
This has got to be one of the biggest pieces of trash I have ever laid my eyes on.
The biggest offense is probably this - putting usman at n2 ABOVE ilia topuria??? I want whatever they're smoking.
Some other terrible picks:
Gable steveson (why even on the list) at 22 above mokaev, mcmillen etc
Ian garry below hokit, dakota ditcheva and morales
Go look at the list for yourselves cause it's actually so atrocious
Meta rankings are stupid.
How does a win over a washed Figgy on a 5 fight losing streak land you at 7th in the rankings? A 9th or 10th wouldve been more understandable.
Also Barcelos is at 15th AND below Payton in the rankings.
Anyhow i think Talbotts next fight should be Sandhagen, if Yan wins then Petr Vs. Sean 2 should be done and if Merab wins then Merab Vs. Song since nobody wants to see the Merab-Sean trilogy
Underdog picks for Allen vs Duncan
This card is alright, has some fun fights on it, here are my underdog picks since I see a few here I think will win
1. Jai Herbert - going with Herbert by rd 1 ko, yeah Matheus Camilo knocked Nazim Sadykhov out his last fight but I am not sold on the skills of Camilo, think Herbert’s experience gets him the W
2. GM3 - lol unironically I’m picking GM3 by rd 2 sub, Julius Walker ain’t even good, only win is over Cerqueira and despite his losing streak I think GM3 can get the dub
3. Niko Price - the last dodo bird is back out of retirement! Despite being 2-8 in his last ten fights I think he will knock Leon Shahbazyan out in the first, as Shahbazyan showed nothing in his debut and all losses are knockouts
What are your picks?
