UFC 305: Du Plessis vs. Adesanya

[B.Goetz]

Anyone else think Dricus is the more likely to fade cardio wise as the fight goes longer? Especially if he's trying to implement a grappling heavy gameplan. Not even making a judgement on the Strickland fight that he held up well in. Just factoring in that the events in Australia give the fighters less hours than usual to rehydrate from weigh in to fight time, and he is a pretty large middleweight.

Depends on how successful his grappling is. If he's too heavy and strong for Izzy, Izzy might be the one to fade first. This might be a good one to live bet.

Ohh I forget KKF's actual name is Kai haha. Yeah he's live. I have Erceg under fantasy score in a lot of Prizepicks lineups, it's one of my main plays. He can win the fight and not cover the score, I think they set it too high.

what number did you get for erceg?

I got Luana Santos at dog odds, but I think she still has value in the -140 range. She should get the fight to the ground at will with her Judo, and has a good chance at getting a sub there. I don't think she'll be in any real danger in the striking, which is probably a wash.

What's more likely, submission or tko on Santos?

Driscuss will fade then will suddenly get fresh again - rinse and repeat. The "normal" stuff doesnt apply to this guy. I think he just knows how to fight in perfect "rhythm" and attacks with bursts in perfect moments.

The last 24 hours have been mad. But I can safely say that the current saga with Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya is coming to a close. I just got off a 30 minute conference with the agents of Dricus and Israel. Deal was sealed last night after being reviewed by the agents of both parties. Contract valid until June 2031. Payments will be carried out in 6 installments. Medical tests done. Personal terms agreed. Add ons included. As we all know, Adesanya has accepted the contract proposal months ago. There was a lot of tension between the agents of both parties.

Yeah, this is true. Even when he looked dead tired he can keep the high pace. Also, he throws punches and moves in a way that is very taxing for the cardio, yet it his opponent who slows down more.

DDP is truly a weird case from multiple points of view.

Lots of late money coming in on agulair, niccoli is -180 now

 

[mkess101]

what number did you get for erceg?

Under 89.5

What's more likely, submission or tko on Santos?

Sub, IMO. I don't think either happens, though. O'Neill has a brown belt in BJJ, FWIW.

Dricus Du Plessis defeats Israel Adesanya via SUB (neck crank) Round 4 1:37

He predicted the finish by 1 second off what it was and Du Plessis choose to go for the rear naked for some reason, despite the crank being the more logical option.

But otherwise another inch perfect call by @Georges Hefner again

 

[DalchaLungiambula]

Georges is giga sharp.

My dude did it
