Aspinall vs. Gane PBP/Discussion

[sonhow]

I still don't have a good read on how good Murzakanov is. He beat decent opponents but their name value is better than their actual skill level.

Now that he is in the Top 10, Murzakanov will be exposed soon by a bigger opponent who doesn't have a bad chin and is well-rounded.

It depends. Lhw isnt that deep. If Khalil isnt dead from Jiri KO I think he might beat him. But its Khalil so he might get koed as well. Thats the fight Id make.

I think we will quickly know who wins this fight. Volkov wont fold like Spivak but if Jailton is better or at least Blaydes fight level he should hit the repeated takedown.

But why do I feel Volkov wins this? Better for div if Jailton wins so hopefully Im wrong as Im not betting this one.

Jailton is much better than Blaydes once on the mat.

I agree with this. Brain says Almeida, but my gut says Volkov. It "feels" like Volkov will just throw an uppercut/knee on an Almeida takedown, and makes it look easy. That's why I hedged with a Volkov KO.

If Jailton is as good as he was vs Blaydes in that fight he wins. What I meant

 

[betterthanjones]

HOW TURN THE HAVE TABLES finish him in round 2 DRAGONUV!

 

[Guld]

Volkov -200 live. It's Volkov time! I think he won that round based on Dmg criteria and Almedia already looking lost/drained.

Jailton looks so weird. Like the pop is gone for some reason

Same as Spivak fight

Volkov rd 1. How the hell did Almeida get swept smh

he very good in rd 1, verry hard to beat him for the first 5 mins. superb accuracy with sneaky ninja type strikes, has bad gas tank after 1.5 rounds, eats too much kebabs for sure and doesn't train seriously for the most part.

FFS they gave Volkov 15 ss rd 1? No way lol.

 

[Guld]

Well, 1-1 now. That failed knee by Volkov after the standup was bad.
Near even live odds. Third round will be interesting.

 

[sonhow]

JAilton probably wins by just taking him down as Volkov doesnt stop the takedown but this isnt really impressive either way

 

[mkess101]

1-1.

 

[B.Goetz]

Almeida was +200 after the first round. Didn't put anything down.

 

[mkess101]

How does Almeida's gas tank look this shitty? He went at a higher pace for 5 rounds vs Lewis.

 

[Guld]

I cashed out everything. Probably Almeida 2-1, but such a risky way to do it (all control time, zero damage/sub attempts)

 

[mkess101]

Almeida 2-1 but not impressive

 

[mkess101]

Sig strikes plays cash easy.

 

[sonhow]

Weird how Volkov almost stopped fighting there. Thats really low effort to do anything in spaces.

Almeida 29-28 in one of the wors fights of the year
