News BANGER ALERT: Elves Brener vs Myktybek Orolbai set for UFC 301

[WoozyFailGuy]

You'll may remember Orlobai as the Kyrgystani who neck cranked Uros Medic as a late replacement. Guy has good striking and a real Just Bleed style.


I've got Elvis in this one just due to him being the bigger guy, but this is a fight that i'm betting does not go the distance.

Brener is one of the newest JBG disciples in the UFC, having brought the VIOLENCE in all of his UFC appearances till now, knocking out Kaynan Kruschewsky, TKOing Kutateladze, and going to war with Tukhugov.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Holy shit Elvis Brener with the serious hair transplant.

Looks like AI generated genghis khan soldiers

 

[Prologue]

 

[fortheo]

After being 3-0 in the ufc and finishing kuteladze, I thought the ufc would give Brenner a bigger step up. I guess they're waiting till he has to renew his contract.

It disturbs me how UFC doesn't give a fuck about protecting prospects from countries whose economic standing doesn't make them out to be much of a potential for significant financial gains.

These two guys are killers. I wish UFC looks out for guys like these with 1/1000th protection that guys like O'Malley gets from them.

 

[Danis_champ]

Looking forward to Orolbek fight, seems like a good prospect.

Orolbai better than some top 10s in ufc.

I've noticed this, too.

I agree that this is very early for these guys to meet, but it's a stacked division in general when it comes to up and coming guys and I feel like it's a great test of where Orlobai actually is. I've thought he was undersized for 170 and would be a much better fit at 155, the guy is strong as an ox.

Orolbai better than some top 10s in ufc.

This is 100% true.

I've noticed this, too.

They don't care. If Mokaeev wasn't fighting out of uk, they prob fed him to albazi already.

I never been on mokaev hype either, people seem to realize now, they always realize things late.

But yeah, it's very fucked up if you ask me.

 

[fortheo]

Orolbai better than some top 10s in ufc.

So was kuteladze, according to a lot of sherdog and ufc commentators lol.

Regardless, I was just saying that I thought they'd give elves someone a little more established to help him continue to climb up the division. Orolbai is good, but largely an unknown. This just isn't how I'd manage their careers.

It's a fun fight though, so I'm not that mad.

Yeah, don't really like this matchmaking.

Of course the fight should be fun, but holding Brenner back like this seems kinda mindless.

A rare miss for a few that should be a banger.

It's just not fair. Both these guys prob better than some top tens in ufc.

It's a high risk low reward fight for Elvis currently, but I feel that whoever wins this will have this win age very well.

At least we get to enjoy the fight. Both guys are vying to break into the top and now in their primes? Rare we actually get to see a high quality prospect fight these days.

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

Oh wow, that's a must-watch fight for me. We all saw the insane Guram upset by Brenner, but also Orolbai neutralized Medic a weight-class up on short notice with great wrestling chops.

he also has some fisticuffs up his sleeve:

Having to take your official UFC photo during post hair transplant recovery.. hilarious..

It feels like Brazilians keep getting put in these kinds of positions, endlessly taking low reward fights.

Caio Borralho was in this position, too.

Credit to them for taking these fights, but I'd like to have seen Brener get the chance to add a name to his résumé considering he's already beaten Zubaira and Kutateladze. But like you say, wins like these usually age well, and it makes Brener the man.

Jared Gordon or something like that would have been better. I originally asked for L'udovit Klein, and that would have worked too. Or Fares Ziam, someone with a bit of clout and a decent record.

"I'm going to knock hair out, bitch". His hair will look like shit too, similar to Costas. Merab is the only one I recall who's pulling it off half decent and it's because he had a very small hair transplant to fill in the left and right side recession but he didn't actually try to lower his hairline or densen his hair, just even the recession. And it still has that puffy thinness that doesn't quite match the non transplant hair and you can see the lines form where it's thinner and junk. Brener was too far gone.

guys like guram are hard to project. For me anywys.

That's why it's not fair. Both prob better than some top 10s. Where guys like O'Malley gets softballs all the way to the top.

It's a great fight.
