Yeah ok, I’d watch. Not really sold on Movsar rn.

 

[The Siege]

Wow, surprised. Movsar is a dog for this, he's #5 and he's risking his rank against a dangerous Lopes. Maybe he saw something in the Dan Ige fight that made him more confident.

Book it, Dana.

Another Russian racks up another body

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Mosvar and the other guy with 0 striking I confuse him (the one with like 30 amateur fights) with are both unimpressive to me

 

[fortheo]

Movsar running from the funk.

Stamina probably.

 

[Lights Out 101]

Bro would better hope he gets the finish.i think Belal has more fans than him at this point.

 

[Joinho10]

Pointless rematch not like Lopes will do any better. Movsar-Aljo is the fight to make.

 

[Elegant]

Lol at the recency bias

Lopes has a complete opponent change at 4 hours notice after the weight cut games, still wins but was tired in the 3rd, now he's a bum lol

Lopes with a full camp beats Evloev decisively

 

[kkthx]

I'm not down for this rematch.

Based off what? He had an strong first round & then Evloev took the next 2 rounds. Give some credit to Evloev too for having to adjust to facing an opponent he wasn't expecting to fight. You could definitely expect Evloev to have a better performance as well with a full camp to properly prepare for Lopes.

I think most of Sherdog would agree that Lopes is a much more exciting fighter to watch, but there's no reason to favor him over Evloev on paper in a rematch. Could still win the fight of course.

 

[HHJ]

now he's a bum lol

Nope! MMA fans got no fuckin gratitude.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Based off what?

he took the fight on a weeks notice clearly unprepared? and still lost narrowly?

pretty reasonable to say things could be different with full camp and time to prepare

Right but it's a two way street, Movsar doing a full camp with Lopes in mind in a possible rematch would also produce a better performance from him. I think people are getting a little too caught up in the personalities and styles given how much more of a fan favorite Lopes is than Evloev.

Lopes is exciting and we've seen him blitz a few lower tier guys like Tucker, Sabatini and Yusuff, but it's still it's quite a stretch from that to say that he would "decisively" beat Evloev who is 18-0 in his career and 8-0 in the UFC. Lopes wouldn't even be the betting favorite for a rematch.

 

[Khaosan]

I think Lopes finishes him. I'd love to see the rematch.

 

[Xoleth]

It should be a good fight, but pointless.
Evloev needs a top win to get a TS.
Also, Evloev finishing someone? Come on!

 

[CobraCobretti]

Evloev and a finish? That's something you don't see everyday

 

[Conan the K-9]

Decisiolaev wants a taste of that undeserved bonus money again.

 

[NoSmilez]

We get to see this inside the sphere
