So crazy excited about Gunnar Nelson vs. Gilbert Burns

[Danis_champ]

Man hope that fight goes to the ground. This will be a very high level grappling fight. Can't wait to see it. Glad Thiago pulled out this is much better match up. Thanks Thiago. Both guys have really heavy top game and it would be interesting to see their bottom game too.

I would have liked to see a more prepared Burns as he took this fight on short notice so his cardio may be questionable.
But it has the makings of a killer grappling match and we can only hope it doesn’t lead to the ol’grappler kickboxing match.
Fight gods bless.

I’d go with Burns winning about 2 out of 3 times, not a good match up for Gunnar. Short notice fight, though, so we’ll see. That could edge it for Gunni this time.

So it has been about 10 years since these guys have been relevant in the grappling world??? I have Burns, undefeated at WW.

Lol that's 3 posters now with the same AV. Am i missing something?

 

[Fraz]

Neither fighter has done anything for me lately, I'm hoping it gets cancelled tbh

 

[HelloJapan]

Agree, 100%. This match up is waaaaay more interesting to me. Fuck, it better hit the ground. This is one of those fights where it should just start on the mat. I'm pulling for Burns.

Is multiple people using that avi a meme?

There's that new poster/troll using it as well as the original poster to use it. Weird

 

[randomg1t]

this is almost guaranteed to be a shitty kickboxing match.

 

[tekkenfan]

holy fuck this could eb a great match gilbert has a great bottom game gunner likes to flat pass from top should be insane if they dont make it a lame kick boxing fight

 

[Notoriouslefthand]

Just found out that Cutelaba is fighting Rountree Jr on this card. That should be one round barn burner

 

[Fahcough]

There's 2 teams playing football this weekend and both kickers are awesome, I hope it's nothing but field goal attempts.

Who the fuck hopes for boring ground shit. Hope one of them gets KTFO brutally. So do the ratings.
