For those of you who legit have Chiesa picked vs Tony...

[Tony Ferguson]

Please explain why? Lol

I think with champs like Tate and Bisping, people are taking the whole "its MMA, ANYTHING can happen!!" theory way too far

Yes its true but I think people are really telling themselves now "the underdogs def going to win" even when you can't see said underdog winning in any logical way vs said opponent, instead of "of course underdog CAN win, but its not logical to pick them to win this fight" (reason why they're the underdog)

That being said.. in what way do you Sherdoggers see Micheal honestly beating Ferguson?

He has close to the worst stand-up in the entire weight class and he's a slow starter, Tony should embarrass him on the feet

And just because he got lucky & subbed Dariush doesn't mean he's submitting Tony fucking Ferguson

Dariush was clearly winning that fight and even though Micheal's dangerous, he's only really dangerous when he's on your back and I just cannot see anyone @ 155 doing that to Tony right now, dude is on fucking fire

So yea, tell me what you guys who think Chiesa's winning this fight think he's winning it by?

I have tony picked for sure, but Chiesa has some slick subs up his sleeve so dont be surprised to see a upset submission victory.

 

[trident]

Chiesa has some moves. This fight is not close to being straight up Tony's.

 

[kenCs]

Lol this guy's name is Tony Ferguson. Shouldn't you be training instead of shitposting.

 

[Loko3]

Well a lot of people on Sherdog picking Tony to win have some strange usernames - so I've been leaning Chiesa as a result.

 

[McGrubie]

Chiesa wins via brutal one punch knockout.

 

[CrimsonFan]

Tony is slick but he has a glaring hole in his game. His take down defense is super questionable and Chiesa grinds out wins using his wrestling.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

because Chiesa is top 5 backpacks in the game

 

[JonnyboyATL]

The fight game brah, tis a fickle whore.

Chiesa could very well Sub Ferguson.

"Michael Bispingesque in his finger pointing skills is he, Joe"

Can't sleep on Chiesa, the guy has legitimate skills. If he gets Tony's back, he's probably in deep dookie.

I never said he got dominated on the ground.. I said he doesn't have good TDD

I also never said I thought Chiesa would win, I was just trying to explain to TS why people like his chances.

Yup Chiesa is a G with his ground game, if he takes Tony's back he's going night night.

Still got Fergie though he's got a lot of momentum
