UFC 223 Predictions

[Frankie Baby!]

(Sorry for long ass thread)

Al Iaquinta vs Paul Felder-A super tough fight to call, both guys always come to fight, and are great strikers. I'm going to pick Paul Felder via Decision, I just think he's going to be a little more technical, and always a step ahead of Al. Wouldn't be surprised if Ragin Al wins tho.


Michael Cheisa vs Anthony Pettis-An important fight for the Lightweight division, and for both fighter, For Cheisa, he needs to win this to move on from the Kevin Lee shit, and for Anthony he needs to win this to be taken seriously, and to prove that he's not a gatekeeper. I'm gonna go with Anthony Pettis, either by Decision or a late finish via Body kick.


Renato Moicano vs Calvin Kattar-I really don't know much about either fighter, but I know more about Kattar than I do about Moicano. I know that Kattar has great striking, and puts on a fast pace. So I'll go with Kattar by Decision.


Rose Namajunas vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk-Very very important fight, most people think that the first fight was a fluke, an that Rose got lucky. Joanna has said that her weight cut was the reason why she lost at UFC 217. If Rose wins, then she proves that the first fight wasn't a fluke, and she that she's the true champion. For Joanna, she wants to erase this loss, an prove she's the true champion. I'm going to go with Rose Namajunas, an I'm gonna take her to win by 2nd or 3rd Round Submission.


Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov-One of the highest anticipated fights ever in MMA history, and rightly so. Both guys are on huge winning streaks, Tony is on a 10 fight winning streak, and Khabib is on 25 fight winning streak. Both guys are mostly grappler, Khabib is a dominate grappler, who makes guys exhausted because of just how much damage, and pressure he puts on them. Khabib is probably Top 3 best grappler in MMA. I'm gonna go with Khabib, an I'm gonna take him to win by 3rd Round TKO. I think that he's going to have Tony up against the cage, and he's gonna be landing bombs on Tony, and he's just gonna smesh him.

Tony Ferg, round 5 TKO or decision.
Joanna Challenger, decision.
Kattar, decision, probably a split.
Chiesa decision. Imagine saying that a couple years ago.
Felder, decision. Would've said Al if I didnt think he was rusty.


Hope we have fun fights cause I see a lot decisions.

 

[liddellfan90]

Khabib via sub in the 4th. Nothing else matters.

I don't mind decisions as long as they're good technical fights/ brawls, or if it's like a Khabib mauling.

This isn't a long thread by a long shot, appreciate the effort. I'm sure I'm in the minority but I appreciate well thought out threads. I'm all for Gif response's here and there, but it can't all be one liners and gif replies. It's a forum where people talk about MMA, You'd hope people would have the attention span to read these types of comments, but it's usually the stupid didn't read Gifs to get likes when it comes to these and it's not even that long.

Good stuff.

[Uthred]

Woodley VS Thompson 3 main event.

Woodley VS Thompson 3 main event.

Get out

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

I think Tony vs Khabib goes the distance. It's gonna be close. Possible split decision. I don't like tony or khabib. But I respect their skills. I want tony to win more because he doesn't have the weight issues and injury issues. I have a feeling even if Khabib wins he's going to be injured and need surgery afterwards. Shelving him for 9 months easily. Then we have 2 contenders out.

 

[mrbaapt]

Iaquinta takes out Felder in a close decision.
Tony finishes Khabib late in the fight.
Thug Rose makes Jedrzejczyk tap to strikes AGAIN.

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Really struggle to see Khabib stopping anyone with strikes let alone Ferguson. I’ll take a fairly boring decision with a lot of boos/people leaving in the 4th round.

Joanna decision. Rose’s win wasn’t a fluke at all but I don’t see it happening again. I also really find a submission to be unlikely given Joanna’s takedown defense.

Chiesa decision but very tough fight to call.

Iaquinta via ragin’ decision
