Hey guys - In the vid now on the front page Hacran Dias mentions you lot (Sherdog forum) - skip to near the end to hear it

Who you got? Cub or Hacran and why?

If people could visit the link that would do me and Hacran a huge favor! More visits the better. Also share! Okay - enough post whoring from me.

I think this is a tough fight - I'll give my breakdown of how I think it goes down later

Cub by UD

Cub has a chip on his shoulder from frankie. I think cub will dominate

Depends which Cub shows up. Judging by his past few fights I think Hacran can UD him.

 

[toe hold]

Pulling for Swanson, but IMO, Dias is a tough matchup for him.

Could go either way.

I won't be surprised to see dias grind out a ud, but I really hope cub tko's him.

Cub. Always Cub.

So what happened with the Holloway fight?

I have Hacran by Sub or UD.

Wow! Cub has given us some GREAT fights. This is a BANGING highlight. Really enjoyed watching this.



For me Cub is the more dynamic fighter. Hacran takes a while to get going and when hes on full tilt his offence is still not as persistent as Cubs - although it is "high level" technical with extremely good head movement and decent footwork both going forward and backwards its still not as dynamic as Cubs. Cub is far more unorthodox and aggressive - I think if Cub wants to win he has to push the pace and work the body and legs - I don't like oblique kicks but Cub would have success with that type of offense including spinning kicking attacks to the body and spinning hand attacks to the head - anything to get through a solid orthodox defence with a good counter game held by Dias.

Saying that - watch this highlight...



I see Hacran avoiding damage on the feet and getting the takedown and grinding out the win on the ground. He is a very strong wrestler who is a Nova Uniao blackbelt and has been for a while now - (what that means is he is used to lighter training partners being very creative and aggresive on the ground)- but he uses his ground game in a very methodical approach - moving through tie ups and great natural wrestling mixed in with heavy GnP. Being controlled by a strong wrestler who can think in three dimensions (position, submission, striking) is going to make it a tough night for Cub

We never know - I like both these guys - If Hacran was not someone I have spent time with and respect highly I would certainly be supporting Cub - but irrespective of that I think the betting odds are wrong. Hacran by submission or decision in the third

So what happened with the Holloway fight?

I completely space that holloway subbed him.. My bad. That being said hacran is no holloway... Hacran only wins against cans and cub is still somewhat elite
