I like Holley too for the record. Zoro is in the wrong weightclass, drains him self way too much, thus have no chin at all - And generally refuses to use his great BJJ. Not favoring him or anything, but at +250 I will gladly take it.
Hey Thanks Jeffsplsgo good to hear I'll join in the fun as you guys seem to of done your homework! .
I did a bit of a mini cap of the Nastyukhin/Kawanago
Nastyyukhin will push Kawango's shit in . Total squash match. My writing isn't very good so will dot point
Nastyukhin
* Trains at Russia top team - not a renowned camp but has a few pro's around his weight training there. Also there is a video of him on youtube with him training at Tiger Muay Thai looking like he is taking this very seriously
* interviews with him he seems very driven with a win in this match he will almost certainly get a chance at Aoki's belt . Motivation seem to be pretty high
* Stats 25YO, 5"7 kind smallish LW
(EDIT FW)but seems very strong
* Punches hard as fuck very very nasty, defensively a bit meh but may be more of a lack of respect for his previous opponents striking.
* Every fight of his ends in the first round (4/tko/4 sub)
* Only loss was his first fight (by sub) back in 2010
* Said on the ONEFC broadcast that he is a pankration world champion
* Opponenets record is very shit with records of 1-0 , 3-2 , 0-1 , 0-1 , 0-3 , 0-1 , 0-1 , 5-4, 14-5 . Combined 23-18
* He was an underdog in his last fight (+150)
Kawango
Rob Lisita KO'd him.. I have seen Rob fight at AFC cards he aint that great believe me.
* Inactive fighter 2 fights in 2014 and then didn't fight until 2012
* Obscure Japanese gym that he trains at with not many Pro's at all
* Not a terrible striker but not as good as Timmy
* Taken down easy by Lisita (An Aussie taking someone down??)
Prediction Nastyukhin by KO first round and then he gets his shot at the Belt -
May be worth looking out for his Title fight as he will be a pretty decent dog to Aoki more than likely. I didnt see much tape on Timmy's TDD apart from one old fight of his in Russia where he did defend a takedown against the fence competantly.
Bet Not much value at the unibet odds of -400 but he is a rightful favorite . Dont know if you fellas can get odds for the under? if so that seems very likely.
Sorry No real sexy bets for this one but I will add Timmy to the Holley play to boost it up a bit
