Darren Till vs Derek Brunson

[TJ Dillashank]

Imma have to say Darren Till by KO doesn't throw too much but has power and Brunson's chin isn't the best. I could see Brunson taking him down and landing GNP for the dec but IDK if he can take down Till. Till is precise and has timing but very low output so that's what I'm worried about for this one.

Also Holland vs Shahbazyan

Darren till is a guaranteed win almost . Highly doubt Brunson can finish him and he doesn't have the cardio to wrestle someone like till for 25 minutes especially after till lands and does some body work . And your right he's looked slow and dosnt have much power anymore(never really did but it's worse now) .

Shahbazyan . Can't really justify this pick I just feel like Holland is gonna extend his losing streak .

You trying to scramble my brain yo? The fuck <Lmaoo>

Till, probably UD, as he seems to lack true KO power.

Most likely Till by decision, but it's definitely not impossible for Brunson to crack him and finish him on the ground.

But Edmen is fighting Nassourdine Imavov? Kevin Holland is scheduled to fight Kyle Daukaus meanwhile.

I think people are underestimating Brunson. I'm usually quick to start writing off fighters after they turn 35, but I think Brunson still has some time on the clock. He's got a nice little streak going and other than being a bit chinny, I don't see how Till beats him. I see Brunson being able to control the clinch and get his TDs.

MW Till has a much better chin than WW Till.

On a side note, a light on his feet Till with better boxing fundamentals could probably be champion.
Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever see that, though.

It’s an interesting fight. I personally think that Till going 5 close rounds with Whittaker is more impressive than any of Brunsons recent wins considering Brunson has 0 top 10 wins in his last 4. If Till keeps it standing he will win but that’s a big if.

You guys are underrating Brunson or overrating Till or some combo of both. I think Brunson wins. Till has 1 win at MW. I got Brunson by TKO after wearing Till down for a few rounds.

Lol how shitty is the UFC nowadays that this is the first thread talking about their upcoming main event? Crazy

Brunson's last 2 wins were over top 10 guys.

Till is in that very strange place that Gastelum is in where he's so close to the top guys but he keeps losing. I tend to favor the guy who's been winning, but you may be right. He's certainly right there with some of the best guys in the division.

brunson wins a UD

 

[Kos Fan]

Brunson's last 2 wins were over top 10 guys.

Holland was pretty badly exposed his last 2 fights and isn’t top 10 anymore and I’m not sure he’s even staying at MW. Edmond fell out of the top 10 as well.

It's an interesting fight, but I favor Brunson.

Till at 185lbs is still an enigma to me. He's 1-1 at MW, and both fights were fairly close. He eked out a win over Gastelum, who seems to be on a career down-swing, and he lost a close one to Whittaker, who's been building back up since he lost the title. In other words, it's very hard to tell how good he really is compared to his peers.

Brunson, on the other hand, is a flawed but very proven competitor at MW. He's had highs and lows, but overall he's a solid top 10 guy in the division. For my money, I think he could become a top contender or even champion if he improved the mental side of his game.

I'm not betting on this one, but if I were, I'd put it on Brunson.

Guaranteed win?? Brunson is on a 4 fight streak, and Till is 1-3 in his last 4. Brunson by dec is more likely.

 

[Been_Creeping@2k12]

Brunson is getting Till out of here. Never been on that Till hypetrain

Both were top 10 when Brunson fought them, you said that Brunson hasn't beaten any top 10 fighters in his last 4 fights so I corrected you. What happened after isn't relevant to their ranking when Brunson fought them. They aren't top 10 anymore because Brunson beat them. I don't know why people bring up current rankings instead of rankings of the fighters at the time of the fight.
