TJ Dillashaw vs Marlon Moraes who wins ?

[KevinLee]

Who wins if Marlon fights TJ for the belt in this battle of dynamic kickboxers ?

way too early

Moraes is probably a underdog going
In to the Rivera fight

 

[ShreddinMMA]

I'd pick TJ at present.

His timing and ability to adapt is rather absurd. It took dance master Cruz to even throw him a little.

In to the Rivera fight

I got Moraes by knock out over Rivera. He trains with a very similar and better wrestler in Frankie Edgar for years. He also trains with Zabit Magomedsharipov and Edson Barboza. TJ vs Moraes for the belt after Moraes beats Rivera.

I think Dilly is more likely to execute his gameplan than Marlon is his. If Marlon wins, it'll be one of those bink bonk trading in the pocket KO's.

 

[The guest]

Why would TJ fight him ?

They are in the same division. He prefers calling out FLW instead. Before even defending his belt.

 

[Workaholic]

I really like Moraes but Tj works him right now

Jimmy is a very crafty guy, he held his own against alameida on the feet

By no mean is he going to delegated to panic wrestling

This fight is going to look a lot like the assucencao fight

Sig bet ? The Assuncao fight was very close. Both landed basically the same amount of blows on each other. It was a split that could've gone ether way. Similar to TJ first fight against Assuncao. Jimmie is a different type of fighter than assuncao. Moraes will pick him apart while avoiding his takedowns.

Did they book Moraes vs. Rivera?I'd have moraes as the favorite against Rivera for sure.
Moraes would definitely be the underdog against TJ, but I think he's one of the tougher challenges for TJ in the division.

Moraes vs. TJ would be interesting as fuck.

It’s not offical yet but moraes stepped up on twitter and Rivera accepted

I don’t see why the ufc wouldn’t pull the trigger

Oh shit, for UFC 219?

I like the matchup for Moraes, but he's a pretty big BW, so I don't think cutting to 135 3 times in two months would benefit him. I don't know....that short of a notice changes things for me.

Rivera gave him up to the 138 limit. So the fight will be at 138 since its short notice.

Still, it's risky as fuck. Like I said earlier, I'd favor Moraes with confidence, but in a short notice fight I'm not as confident. Still rooting for Moraes, though.

He been in fight camp for two fights and barely got hit in the Aljo fight. I think he will be good to go come fight night. Dude is a lean mf and doesnt get to out of shape. He will make 138 with no problem.

 

[Superzorro]

I think Rivera beats Moraes. But that doesn't mean Moraes wouldn't be a bad match up for Dillashaw. I'd personally rather see the Rivera / Moraes winner fight Garbrandt.

Who wins if TJ fights Marlon? We ALL win.

at this point in time , I think TJ smokes him Baroa style .
