[Mixed]

Awesome matchup. Got Rivera via size and experience.

 

[Dart Feld]

I believe Rivera will wrestlebox his way to a decision or late T/KO.

I think he'll get his jab going, pick away a bit at that lead leg, and keep Almeida honest with well timed TDs. Almeida is a fun striker but his defense is limited and his stance often leaves him open to double legs.

Either way it should be a pretty fun fight. Imo Rivera already has done enough for at least a title eliminator. Unfortunately, the way things are now Cruz is above him in the pecking order and the Dillashaw/Garbrandt fight is still trying to be made. He might have to fight again even if he wins tonight before getting a shot.

New set of rules tonight?

Nice

 

[chunglii]

No, Tyron, there is no "forward aggression scoring", no "takedown scoring", and no "takedown defense scoring"

 

[Willek]

Cruz laughed when Anik talked about Rivera's long winning streak.

 

[heavyarms21]

So they want Judges to score more 10-8ss.....
