PBP Bellator 297: Nemkov vs. Romero, Fri. 6/16, 6 PM ET/3 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

Pettis has the speed advantage. Don't think Pitbull can play the counter game. He's got to be aggressive.

Pitbull looks a bit lethargic, maybe hes drained from the cut.

 

[TWAK]

stanky leg

 

[kevo1295]

Pettis should come back to the UFC

 

[europe1]

Bantamweight has turned Pitbull into a Puddlebull!

Before everyone shits on Pitbull if he loses here, he's definitely lost his speed advantage dropping down and he's been at the top for a long time. Fighters do eventually slow down.

pitbull has been tentative for a while now. It's part of why I was confused as to why so many people were acting like Pettis was going to get murked

Oh he's been a calculated, kinda low volume type guy for ages now. I definitely felt like this had the potential to be a bad fight for Pitbull, I don't like this move down in weight.

Pettis's jab and body work have been money this fight.

 

[neandertal]

That was almost Paulo Filho like lol. Where you at

 

[Sixstring]

I am a damn fool.

Hell yeah! That's him - nailed it.

 

[AmonTobin]

Pettis doing an excellent job mixing it up. Never know what he's throwing next.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Pitbull has stopped kicking. Only thing working is that counter right at this point. I think he should change levels more often and make Pettis think. Being slower and having the reach disadvantage here is making a huge difference and probably something he's not used to.

 

[JoeRowe]

Pitbull doesn't seem to havethe strength or energy that he was hoping to have

 

[Substance Abuse]

Also, if I'm Pettis, I wouldn't open up too much, as everything he's doing has worked to this point.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

tyron woodley-esque performance from pitbull here

 

[Poirierfan]

Big John always talks about straight shots getting there faster, that's literally all he knows.
