[jjwvic]

All these people who got michael Johnson was it just some super small bet? None of my books have it. No point if they limit you that much

Yeah I feel that. His mentality is exactly how I wish everyone approached the game- he is simply good for MMA. Shows up to fight every time.

Those leg kicks are from satan.

Even if I wasn't a hardcore fan or a bettor Justin is one guy I would pause the ball game to watch.

I hope Drakkar is a huge dog. I think he can make this ugly and being the stronger man in the clinch. His striking SHOULD be serviceable enough to get on the inside and tire him out.

i think he will be, everyone is going to parlay diakiese up.

He does train at MMA Lab so I'm confident he will come in with a similar game plan. The Frankie Perez fight showed that Diakiese still has holes in his game although he did move to ATT since then.

Justin Gaethje's clinch low kicks.

Low kick vs low kick, I still got Barboza.

Love MJ as the dog here.

 

[Slohog]

Think Klose should've gotten a gimmie or two before this fight, dude is talanted but fairly raw.

 

[Sham5916910]

MJ has already said he's gonna pressure Justin to shut down the low kicks. It's exactly what he did to Barb.

I don't trust MJ to stick to a gameplan after he grabbed onto a guillotine on fucking Khabib.

 

[Xenophon Hendrix]

I believe I'm probably in the minority. When I watched the Justin Gaethje vs Luiz Firmino fight, I wasn't thinking, wow, what a great fight! I was thinking, this is a disgrace.

 

[Shoulder]

MJ always messes up something and if he gets into a brawl Justin will end him.

Gaethje was getting tagged at will by Firmino, and likely lost the first 2 rounds. Even in a brawl I think Johnson has a good chance.

I took shots on firmino both fights.. and he probably lost every round they fought...

But a side note: firmino can CRACK, he's not a bum.. but yea, mj is higher level

You are thinking of Palomino, Firmino was the guy Gaethje fought on NYE in NYC.

Yes, guilty, absolutely mixed up names. I assure you I know both guys ridiculously well, hehe

But absolutely correct mixed up there

I had to double check when I was writing the post too haha. I think Gaethje kinda fights to the level of his competition so we might see him up his game vs Johnson in comparison to his previous fights.
