Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Ali Bagautinov Set For UFC Fight Night Manila

[Hardkore]

Great fight. Ali via horsepower.

Lol I like the first part, we'll see about the second

 

[Hardkore]

He was doped to the fucking gills bro!

Well he got caught for epo, as you know it's a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells, but he never popped for steroids but a guy willing to use epo probably wouldn't blink twice using gear.

He probably has cement wraps in his gloves like Margarito did.

I'm gonna tentatively go with Kyoji.

tentatively? if you're not calling a sub minute stoppage by flying armbar or flying axe kick, then idk why you even bothered to post here bruh

Shit you're right man. Horiguchi by flying hadouken.

Agree, Ali won't be able to catch Guchi. Also Ali will eat counters every time he comes in to clinch with him. Speed, footwork and movement will be the biggest factor in this fight

Ali doesn't really come in to clinch; he's more of a reactive takedown/clinch artist. He typically plays possum against the fence and waits for his opponent to come to him and uses their forward Momentum against them to either shoot a double or spin them against the cage. Ali is also great at catching kicks....guess who kicks a lot-- kyoji.

that's what I like to hear, and if it doesn't happen, you best be ready to bump this thread with 15+ explanations as to why it didn't happen

Glad they're keeping the former title contenders away from the others. Horiguchi wins a UD.

Penn/Lamas
Lewis/Tybura
Kyoji/Ali B

That's the main card set, just add an Asian fighter coming off a win then fill the prelims with shoddy fighters off the Asian scene and a few new, low-level signings and it's a bog standard Asian UFN card.

Fuck ya. Both of these guys had their moments against Mighty Mouse. Kyoji did surprisingly well on the feet
