How you think he handles Nakamura. That dude is explosive from his highlights, and hits hard. Vera seems like a good grappler but I just found out he's 36. UFC doing him a little dirty here. If he wins though!!

Ufc doing him dirty for sure. Love the guy but Nakamura seems like a lock.

You training Vera (presumably involving submission defense)
along with the strange issue of Rinya not always being direct about going for submissions
makes me think: Rinya by decision.

Nakamura seems like a lock.

Rinya seems easily to be the lockiest lock to get locked tonight.
Not the least bit of a bold conclusion to say that though, as it is widely thought to be so (obvious due to Rinya's odds being so bad).

I'm gonna put at least 20 milly on him, maybe more. He'll now break his toe in round 1...

BS... You're just being modest. You taught Steve Seagull that front kick. He taught Andy Silva, and slighted you on the credit.

KDR "teaching kids"

Honestly... not far off. 4-6 year olds bjj classes were chaos

bjj classes

When that alleged BJJ expert, 3rd degree blackbelt
so easily tapped to a basic armbar last night,
was thinking how KDR would never accept that. Maybe not even from the new, basic fighters trying to make it in LFA.

Speaking of LFA, it certainly is a more appropriate place for Elliott and Woodburn. Too much bummery even for UFC early prelims. Elliott barely could deal with Woodburn and thinks it's his "greatest moment"

Something big for Rinya probably is a good idea, as long as it doesn't require anything ITD.

If by some absolute fluke hail mary miracle @KDR by RNC got caught in an arm bar, WOULD NEVER HAPPEN, he'd would most certainly go the route of ricky bobby and make that frenchy break it. Never tapping.

Fact.
"I'll never tap" almost never is literal when fighters say it.
But once in a while it is real.
Mokaev and then KDR.


Finally, something good from the prelims (after the fouling stopped)
