5 rounds makes it interesting.
Russian journalist from vestnik mma reported that Moldavsky is out with injury and replaced by Vassell.
Goltsov will choke again.
Maybe. But Tim Johnson is a very favourable matchup for him, and he's at worst 50/50 against whoever he meets in the finals.
Lol two guys from the same team suddenly having one of them pull out
I'm very high on Loughnane and think that him and Khizriev is a tricky fight to call. I think both are competitive with virtually any 145er in the world. That said I am picking Khizriev because as good as Brendan is at defending takedowns Khizriev is exceptional at setting them up and will get him down when he's expecting an exchange.
He's just the best fighter there in my opinion. He's well rounded and adaptable. I think if he was to lose it'd be in the first round if Wilkinson can stay on his bike, stay upright and outpoint him.
Interesting. I think Impa is one of if not the best fighter in the PFL so I still think he’ll win but I’ll be interested to see!
Recency bias?
Keen to see what happens, I’m still going to pick Impa for bragging rights. The Nedoh fight didn’t to me suggest that Impa looked bad more that Jakob looked fantastic and showed real potential.
I said in the pbp 100% chance of a pullout.
Can't say I agree. I think he's improved from his UFC run and it's not just him fighting weaker fighters (he isn't even, it's not like he faced top UFC guys) but I don't think he's got the well rounded and adaptable game that Yagshimuradov does. I can see any of the 4 guys winning tbh, but my pick is Yags. Impa's a great athlete with power. That can get you far in this sport but I do think in most cases a highly skilled albeit less athletic fighter will win the day more often than not.
