95% of users on tapology have Islam beating Thiago.

Islam is a -820 favorite.

Im not going to promise a win. I’m not going to promise an upset. But the odds and pick % do not accurately reflect this fight.

Thiago is superior in every way on the feet. And he’s a submission threat from any grappling position. Don’t sleep on this man.

When it’s that much of a favorite gotta put som vcash on the dog. Ha
 
I'm not bro, suprised at the odds... I do favour Islam by a fair bit but also think Thiago is a live dog.

I agree, kinda feel like this is a trap matchup for him.
 
I don't think it will matter too much, Islam's grappling is just too dominant. When that happens the striking kinda goes out the window, like vs Dober. He was losing badly to Michael Johnson in the striking too before he pulled a sub, he's primarily a grappler, only has 3 (t)KO's in his entire career and none in the UFC. Bobby Green outlanded him 2-1 every round. I'm actually not convinced his striking is better than Islam's. Maybe his best chance would be some weird sub, but against these Dagestanis, and from the bottom, that's a tough ask. It will take someone with good tdd and maybe some stopping power to stop Islam.

Maybe the line is inflated, but not far off. I wouldn't put anything on Moises.

Thank you!

Moises is dangerous and thats why it would be impressive if Islam finishes Moises who have never been finished in his caraeer.
 
He's a striker with bad TDD. This fight is tailor-made for Islam.
 
-820 is probably too high to accurately reflect how the fight will go, but Islam should dominate Moises imho. Moises has to try and clip him and stun him, otherwise he’s fucked.
