I wasn't that impressed by Abel last night, he was pretty hittable (Idk if this is a word) and he turned into an ADCC world champion on the ground. Abel is on a two fight winning streak (3, with an included DQ by Gleison Tibau.) If he wanted to test his grappling some more, he should try it vs Khabilov, who is also working his way up, coming from wins vs Wade and Parke (who is now cut.) It would be a good test for Trujillo.

Who do you think would win this fight?

I am biased and think that this would be a reply of Nurmagomedov vs Trujillo, as Khabilov is still a better wrestler and grappler than Trujillo ever will be.

I am also supporting Felder vs Taisumov and Rashid Magomedov vs Trinaldo!
 
not a bad prelims fight.

why not!
 
Makes sense. I think Khabilov would win a decision.
 
This is a good fight too, anything to see Trujillo lose. It is good to see him and Stephens lose.
LOL... some serious hating here. I APPROVE.

I like the way Trujillo is mixing things up and not just being a one dimensional brawler. But his grappling is not on Khabilov level.

I love Rustam so why not? Make it happen Dana.
 
I'll take Khabilov, but thats because I don't think Trujillo looked that good last night
 
I like those as much as any. Both fountains of potential, but, well, yeah.

Khabilov probably tosses him on his head, but Trujillo has shown enough skills to... do... something...

Felder vs Taisumov is interesting. I'm still not sold on Felder at all, but then, I suppose I shouldn't be sold on Taisumov either. Make it happen, I guess. Should be a fun fight.

Trinaldo deserves a bigger fight than Magomedov. Dark Tibau has like 10 wins in the UFC, beat Park, Pearson, and Medeiros back to back to back, he should be getting a name opponent in the top ten. Where are bobby green and michael johnson at? Let him fight one of them

Magomedov is awesome, and honestly, I think he deserves to be so highly rated, but he doesn't have nearly enough UFC credentials to justify being so highly rated right now. He should fight Leo Santos or someone. Honestly, Standard Tibau would be perfect to gauge where he's at. He probably loses that fight, but I think that would sort out his place in the rankings for a while.

155 is just too fucking good right now. There's like 6 title fights that we knead to see in the next year, man. Fucking shit I love this division.

That just might give Trujillo PTSD.
 
I hadn't thought of that one, I'd be happy with that fight. Rustam has really hit a wall though, nowhere near as aggressive as when he first came to the UFC, but I can't stomach Abel.
 
Good fight but Abel just had too problems with grapplers like Rustam (i clearly noticed that yesterday against an unknown fighter like Jordan Rinaldi who made his debut in UFC). Maybe Rashid Magomedov is a better option because is an agressive striker just like Abel.
And i chose Rashid because i know you're a fan of russian fighters ;)
It would be like Nurmagomedov vs Trujillo, and Magomedov would crush him, it would be fun. But yeah, I am from this country, so I am a big fan of my country's fighters)

He was never really aggressive, he just over matched his opponents and had a close fight with Masvidal. I think he is hitting a stride, he is slowly getting better, his performances vs Parke and Wade were measured and tactical, he has got his confidence back.
