I feel an upset tomorrow.

[Bradillac]

Not sure why on paper this should be easy for Islam when he just struggled with Poirier and Jack just dominated Belal. Would anyone seriously pick Dustin over Jack? I feel like Jack is better than Dustin in every aspect of the sport.

On paper this looks like an incredibly competitive fight.

 

[don't ask]

The upset has already happened. Sunday's Rodtang/Nong-o has been scrapped and I'm upset about it.

oh shit, is this for real? I was looking forward to that

 

[WINGNUT]

Good luck, i hope it hits

thanks bud. it would have been 3600 or something but i got a %33 odds boost for a 100 dollar first bet signing up for mgm bet .
even tho its a 5 pick parlay, i think that payout with those picks is pretty good and not even unlikely to hit. def not out of the realm of possibiity.

You don't have to wait till tomorrow kiddo, you can talk about it now. It's not about who's right or wrong after the fight. It's about the comment you made that doesn't make sense, as I showed you with several examples, and I can go on with 50 more.

The point is the MMA is not consistent in the way you interpret it to be. Sometimes the better fighter will get finished over a lesser one by the same opponent, and sometimes not. To say it like it's some written rule or exact math is what doesn't make sense. MMA is a sport with so many variables that anything can happen. So it's not just about Islam vs JDM, it's a general thing about the entire sport. How Islam vs JDM ends up has no impact on that statement.

Ha, ha, kiddo, cute. Thank you, it’s been decades since someone called me that.
Look, I understand what you are saying, but I’m not impressed by JDM as most people here seem to be. On the other hand, I know Islam is elite and has faced better competition so far. Also, the way I understand it, most people replying to my comment are under the impression that Islam is going to get hit flush, while I just don’t see it. I realize he’s been hit flush before, but I just don’t see JDM doing it. Belal is a blockhead with no finishing ability, who is (in his own words) levels below Islam and Khabib. I don’t think JDM will seriously challenge Islam, but like you say, it’s an mma fight so anything can happen.

The only upset outcome would be a no contest.

I don't think you can call it an upset in a pick em fight.


Maybe if JDM takes Islam down, outgrapples him, and wins via RNC we can call it an upset. Or if Islam knocks him out with a liver punch at the end of a crisp combination.

This is mma’s version of Crawford v Canelo except Islam will retain finishing ability via submission. He also won’t be the smaller man by much. Double champ within 4 rds. The Dagi’s have been preparing for this for literally years.

 

[chiefwiggum]

Size matters

Jdm isn’t a big guy. And has t finished anyonr oitside burns.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Khamzat struggled with Burns but utterly dominated DDP, brother

It’s almost as if styles have something to do with how a fight plays out

 

[asdf122345]

I don't think so OP. Islam will be a double champ tonight.

 

[TOMFDJYEDH]

Islam is going to make it look easy.

So you’re basically making a prediction on the fight lol.

It’s about to get going. I am predicting a close decision here, don’t see either finishing the other. No winner from me though, too tough to call

 

[Superzorro]

Islam is going to run through this kid. I feel bad because he just got the title and they're already throwing him in there with a killer. But it is what it is.

 

[Dandy Chiggins]

Islam will take him down and wear him down.

 

[asdf122345]

Look like OP prediction won't come true. Easy easy takedown by Islam.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

He's one and one so far so at least one

Sorry brother.

 

[Number 8]

Whoa, how did you know?

It was a domination. Boring, but JDM didn’t have a chance. Sad to see, tbh, but alas.

So you were looking at the toilet paper after all.

I expected more from JDM, really did. But in hindsight, looking back at his fights with Burns and Hafez, makes sense.
