[Harlekin]

Caio ain't a ko artist, but somehow I see him getting a TKO.

 

[Blastbeat]

Oh hell yeah that's a great fight
RDR is still top tier, I just think he was way too active and that's why he couldn't make it work vs Allen.
But I could see Caio winning a decision

 

[TITS]

UFC has officially washed their hands of The Riddler and are now giving him unwinnable match-ups. They'll probably feed him to Robocop or Costa after he loses this one.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

As hard as it looked for Caio to get to Imavov, he's just the more intelligent and stable fighter here.

Good fight, but it's gonna be tough for RDR.

 

[Buurtvader Ali]

Let's go Reinier

 

[TriangleMonkey]

This be a good fight as long as RDR has repaired his cardio issues

 

[The_Renaissance]

That's a fight I'd never considered and I like it a lot. Borralho should win.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I like both dudes but I feel this is in the favor of Caio here, he's the better striker and is no slouch on the ground either, so RDR is going to have a tough night ahead of him..

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Caio should have the defensive grappling to stop the TDs and RDR can't strike for shit.

 

[Koala]

Real nerd vs fake nerd

 

[JKS]

Borralho will take this by UD. He's not easy to take down and he's got the better stand up here, and he's durable.

 

[Oscar Madison]

RdR's last fight crash and burn was awful to watch play out -- like a nature video, except he wasn't eaten by his opponent.

Caio facing an unknown RdR makes this interesting.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I wonder how Caio vs Whittaker would go..... RDR was able to stand with whittaker enough. maybe caio the same?

This is a good one.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Good match up, should be a competitive fight. I know the cool thing to do right now is shit on RDR due to his last performance, but I'm still not convinced that he didn't have something wrong with him going into that fight. I give full credit to Allen for winning a dominant performance, but RDR didn't look like his usual self after round 1. With that in mind, I think I favor RDR. Borralho is very well rounded, but he showed next to nothing against Imavov. I'm not sure he's dynamic enough to ever be champion. I'd love to see him prove me wrong though as I do enjoy watching him compete and he's also a very likeable dude.

*Edit* Sorry wrong thread

Maiquel Falcao fought once and defeated Gerald Harris and then the UFC cut ties with him. He then fought for Bellator for a while as well as other promotions but he got into some bad stuff outside the cage and died I think at age 40.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Does Caio have cardio? If so, him

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Nice matchup, idk who wins this one

 

[Spath]

This be a good fight as long as RDR has repaired his cardio issues

He cuts a ton of weight and I don’t think it’s getting any easier with age and mileage. I think he should fight at LHW where he might not have size advantage, but at least he wouldn’t need to kill himself making weight.

I see Caio fighting a smart fight, keeping it standing and moving his feet to stay out of harms way. Borralho via dec if it’s a 3 rounder, late finish (TKO) if 5 rounder

 

[VinceArch]

Awesome fight.
