Thatch vs Siyar

[bbandit925]

The main event of the prelims may possibly steal the show. Thatch, who all of you should know, is supposedly one of the best strikers at welterweight (in the gym), Siyar, is brawler with devastating power. I am happy that this fight is finally coming together.

Siyar can become a very dangerous threat at 170 pounds if he works on his ground game, but he won't need it against Thatch. Siyar is said to have begun training at Jackson and Wink for this fight so we already know he is coming in with a masterful gameplan.

Anyways I got Siyar by second round ko from a power punch, what about you guys?

Thatch via TKO in the 3rd.

It is very possible, Siyar hasn't fought for quite some time so he may be rusty. However, Siyar has got a granite chin so I still think that it will most likely go to Siyar.

Thatch has been over-hyped by training partners if you ask me.

He was beating the breaks off Benson before he got submitted, he'll pick him apart on the feet then finish it with GnP.

So, do you think that because Thatch will not have to worry about being taken down in this fight, we will finally see Thatch's real stand up game?

Maybe, he's coming off 2 losses so he will have the urgency to win in impressive fashion.

Isn't Erick Silva weak now with the new testing?

weak I don't know but yes last fight he was chubby and gased out pretty quickly. can't imagine that happening again.

IMHO, (Minus the 30 second finish of Paulo Thiago which was crazy), Bahadurzada has had a very disappointing run in the UFC. Only, three fights in four years (I think he has pulled out of four scheduled fights since joining the UFC) and looked like crap against Dong Hyun Kim and John Howard.

He desparately needs this one. To a lesser extent, Thatch as well.

Siyar looked bad because he got taken down. However, Siyar is now training at Jackson and Wink, rather than some European MMA gym (which likely does not teach grappling very well). Siyar will take one to give one, and he is much more of a heavy puncher than Thatch.

Until this fight I had completely forgotten about Siyar fighting for the UFC. He has had Dom Cruz level of activity. That said I think it's a coin flip fight. Give me Thatch by decision.

Damn I wish this fight had stayed on the Pittsburgh card.

Given the lineup changes down the stretch, that card was not too bad.
Now the London event on the other hand.... Some of those fights (undercard and main card) were dreadful.

Me too dude, Thatch was not cleared from injuries though that is why it got pushed back
