Fun fact: Woodley absorbs less strikes per min (2.70) than Wonderboy (2.84)

No really, I wouldn't pick anyone against Wonder Boy at this point, Maia might be his toughest fight. But not Woodley, even though he's the champion I would pick quite a few guys against him. What has he done in the last two years? He won a split over a out of shape bum version of Gastelum and then landed one punch against the very hittable Robbie Lawler. Woodley is dangerous and I wouldn't be shocked to see him get the KO but he's not going to outstrike or outwreslte Wonderboy for 5 rounds.

Why do you think he's so unbeatable? He's beat two elite fighters who are both light years out of their prime at this point

I don't think he's unbeatable I just think he's the best. Pretty obvious why I think he's the best though, know one has been able to figure him out yet and he is in his prime right now. If you wanna waste your money on Woodley go ahead, I don't think I can convince you not to.

But if I'm wrong you totally have the right to be like "told you so" I have it coming.

"No one has been able to figure him out yet"

Bruh

He's fought 2 good fighters, both way out of their primes, and is 5-1 against average-to-good fighters in the UFC

I love how much you "over" use the AS gif....it just gets better and better.

We should probably listen up when BrickTop gives advice ....his record is amazing.
 
I'm not betting on Woodley BTW, I slightly favour Wonderboy and think the lines are right but Wonderboy is not the easiest pick on the card and is being overrated a bit

Sorry but you're overrating Wonderboy. He's great but he's not the GOAT ffs. You're putting too much stock into him beating the ghost of Hendricks and a gunshy Rory. One's talking about retirement, the other is now in Bellator

His most impressive wins are over Whittaker and Cote. He's been dropped by Ellenberger and he's been hit by everyone. He's nowhere near as elusive as someone like Cruz

Rory is in Bellator due to contract issues. He lost the last fight on his contract so lost all his bargaining power. Let's not make out that Rory is now a bum two fights ago he almost became WW champ. Did we see the best of Rory against Lawler? Possibly but saying Rory is over the hill is pure speculation. He looked pretty good to me in the WB fight but WB was a bad fight for him prime or not hence why I was huge on WB in that fight.

I obviously disagree, I don't get how you don't see it. You are overestimating Woodley and underrating WB. All a matter perspective though. WB + JJ +110 is a solid play.

It'd be hard to imagine Rory ever getting to the title again if he stayed in the UFC. Lawler changed his life, shattered his nose (which is still giving him recurring problems) so he went to Bellator for easier competition and more money. He didn't look good in the Wonderboy fight at all. He was gunshy. The only thing he went for is a hail mary iminari roll

How am I overestimating Woodley if I'm saying the line is right

Hendricks was actually much more competitive vs Kelvin than I thought. WB just blew Hendricks away. Who knows if that had anything to do with Hendricks being past his prime? It was too quick and violent to know.
