Wasn't that a doctor stoppage because of a cut?Schev was TKO'ed by Carmouche early in her career if I recall correctly. I think she looks to avenge that loss. I like the FDNGTD prop.
Luque fight on paper seems like a slugfest but both men have been durable in big fights before and both know what power is coming at them. I wouldn't be surprised to see a feeling out process round 1 and then maybe some banging after round 2. I like the over 1.5 here.
Viana was all the hype before she lost to Aldrich and for good reason. She should bounce back here.
GL all.
Wasn't that a doctor stoppage because of a cut?
Given their styles and the fact Shev had a plethora of MT experience going in, I think it would be safe to assume she probably got cut open by an elbow on the ground or something. Idk I feel like some people are overstating that. Like liz did this to her...Wouldn't that go down as a TKO doctor stoppage though?
I don't think anyone really knows what happened just that doctor stoppage thing is what the internet youtube guys have been saying
Piechota was completely dominant for his first 2.5 UFC fights before gassing out in round 3 vs Meerschaert. And Meerschaert isn't a bad gatekeeper, beat Giles, deserved the win vs Holland. He has only been dominated by rising contenders Santos + Hermansson.
Piechota is well rounded, can finish on the ground or standing up. Seems like a pretty good prospect if he just learns to manage his cardio better, and he has had over a year off to regroup and improve since the GM3 fight.
Vieira OTOH is super green, has been training MMA for only 3 years. Looks like he cannot strike at all, and while his wrestling is improving it's still massively unproven vs any real opponent. Nemchinov was 10-0 but fought suspect competition, and now Piechota is a huge step up in competition.
I can't fathom laying juice on Vieira. It's questionable whether he can take Piechota down and hold him down. Against Jacob Holyman-Tague he needed like 5 takedowns bc the guy kept getting up, and he had recently been subbed by this scrub so his grappling D is almost certainly bad: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/48380-darcy-vendy
And every minute standing up may be painful for Vieira. Piechota is going to be the better striker, likely by a huge margin, and he should be a huge KO threat. If there is any turbulence whatsoever getting this to the ground, Vieira bettors are going to have sweaty palms.
I personally believe Piechota is the better prospect who is more developed as a complete MMA fighter, and should be the correct fave this fight. Everybody laying juice on Vieira is getting drunk on extremely expensive hype. He is massively unproven, and BJJ isn't a good base if it doesn't come with striking and wrestling.
Sure Piechota may gas again, or maybe this time he doesn't or maybe he gets a 1 minute KO and it doesn't matter. Regardless I don't see any clear reason to favor Vieira outside of hype, this is my fave bet this week.

Shout out to my girl Thug Rose. Rip.
Carmouche beat Shevchenko by second-round TKO (retirement). In Round 2, the fighters went to the ground, and I Carmouche caught Shevchenko an up-kick. It sliced her eye wide open and Shevchenko’s eye wouldn’t stop bleeding. She wasn’t able to answer the bell for the next round. Shevchenko wanted to continue but the physician opposed.
I do agree, in mma, Rodolfo is unproven, no argument. But his TDs and wrestling are not merely improving, as you say, they are actually quite good. His cardio seems to be alright too. Then he has world class bjj. That will be more than enough against a guy who is willingly going to grapple before getting tired and who becomes a nail once he is tired.
Oskar Piechota is a legit blackbelt too he was on adcc in abu dhabiThese are some big assumptions here. There is zero concrete evidence that Vieira's takedowns are good. Maybe they are mediocre and his past opponents have just had really bad takedown defense as low tier MMA fighters often do.
Also wouldn't assume that Piechota, who has KO power, is going to willfully grapple the BJJ specialist. He doesn't seem that dumb.
I wouldn’t say “zero evidence”. But I’m not going to die on the low tier, regional fight hill.These are some big assumptions here. There is zero concrete evidence that Vieira's takedowns are good.

Also, fwiw, Piechota had shoulder surgery during this layoff.Piechota was completely dominant for his first 2.5 UFC fights before gassing out in round 3 vs Meerschaert. And Meerschaert isn't a bad gatekeeper, beat Giles, deserved the win vs Holland. He has only been dominated by rising contenders Santos + Hermansson.
