Banger Alert:

 

[Pious Augustus]

Ibo looked like a beast in his last fight, I'm picking him

 

[Ares Black]

Well that sounds violent

 

[Thesnake101]

No defense in this fight, should be fun.

I don't really know. Ion looked good his last time out, but it's hard to make anything of that because his opponent was a random Brazilian can-crusher making his debut. Conversely, in Ibo's own debut he went life-and-death with Anton Turkalj in what was primarily a striking affair... that's an awful look. The guy went back-and-forth between windmilling looping punches and telegraphing heavy calf kicks, with no other element to his game.

So did he find his stride after a shaky debut? Or was his last opponent just that bad? Hard to say. Concerning this match-up, I'll give Aslan credit in that he stuffed 8 TDs from Turkalj who is a decent grappler. Ion is a better wrestler and has more punching power than Anton if Plan A fails, but even so if Ibo can successfully sprawl Ion out then it's his fight to lose on paper... but Cutelaba is the way more proven commodity despite being super inconsistent in his own right.

Random. I was just thinking about cutelaba earlier today. Always down to watch that goon fight

Pure violence

Banger Alert:

Almost impossible to care about the outcome is it not?
Banger of a fight though!

 

[wh4tttt]

Wonder what kind of weird shit Ion will do in this fight.

 

[legedema]

wow , that's a good one

 

[The_Renaissance]

Banger. Cant remember how Ion got off against Erslan in his last fight, though. Maybe take Aslan by TKO.

I an so amazed Ion is still in ufc. I love his attitude but he's so short for the division and no offense one dimensional. Actually fraction dimensional. He just seems to wing it. If he used wrestling and gnp that'd be something and I've seen it. Its clear some of his high wins and aggression have kept him afloat. I've seen some headscratcher fights of his though omg

Zero hate I swear. I hope he evolves

 

[CroCopsLHK]

And my sentiments are similar to Johnny Walker. They are so inconsistent and can't seem to break into the top

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Battle of the apes. Looking forward to it.

 

[Brigfa2]

The great Turkish hope

 

[nintey]

I'm still baffled that Ion is still in the UFC. But he's someone to always root against so I guess that works.

Someone is getting smashed up in this one

Who knows with Cutelaba.
