UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Teixeira

[MidgardSerpent]

Seems like this is Murphy's retirement fight.

Guess she has a hell of a trend to buck if she wants to win. This is what I could find from the last 3 years.

Walker by heel hook 3 fights in a row!!

Honestly, having a good heel hook at HW makes a lot of sense. Most are not quick or athletic enough to extract their knee out or get away. On the flip side though, leaving yourself open to be punched is a huge risk. But I honestly don't know if a lot of the HWs are agile and coordinated enough to do that while having their legs attacked.

Oh absolutely. Honestly...being a really good sub guy at HW period seems to be a recipe for success. People just expect big guys to stand and bang. The ones who figure out grappling have a major advantage. Werdum, Mir, Barnett, Nog...at one time you had grapplers sprinkled through the top ranked HW's. Now? Spivak, Almeida...and....? And Spivak is sort of a default top 10, he's there because there isn't anyone else. If Walker can get a couple more subs, could be something there.

Hoping that Matthews uses his wrestling here, Chidi was impressive in his last fight even with the missed weight but the gameplan is there for Jake use his wrestling and grappling to control and hopefully win a decision or even submission, but that depends on Jake using his submission game we haven't seen in a while.

While at the gym, I was thinking to myself how Tallison Teixeira is following a similar pathway as another heavyweight, and then I remembered who: Shamil Gaziev

Gaziev finished a scrub on DWCS and then was given a layup in his UFC debut when he finished Martin Buday. Gaziev was then put into a main event against Jairzinho Rozenstruik on a fight night card where he got tired after he was unable to get a quick finish and then quit on the stool in-between R4 and R5.

Akin to Gaziev, Tallison Teixeira also finished a scrub on DWCS and was then given a layup fight in his UFC debut against Justin Tafa. Teixeira's second fight in the UFC is in a main event against Derrick Lewis in the main event of a fight night card.

Shamil Gaziev was 12-0 prior to losing to Jairzinho Rozenstruik. 11 of those 12 wins were ITD and most of them were in R1. The one fight that was a decision was a split-decision. Gaziev closed at -210 against Rozenstruik.

Tallison Teixeira is 8-0 and all 8 fights are finishes in Round 1. Teixeira is currently -250 against Lewis.

They don't fight the same.Also,Gaziev was known to gas prior to that fight where he losed badly cause of the cardio issues.Teixeira's cardio is unknown but he carries less fat than Gaziev and it it's a wild guess he'll slow down.

 

[WT3]

I got Jake and Lewis to win. did a parlay a little over 30 dollars for around 225 dollar payout. I know not much money just felt like making the fights more interesting by putting some money on the line.

Correct. I was just focusing on how both Gaziev and Teixeira were/are being pushed into a main event in a similar manner.

I'm on Tallison Teixeira R1 O9.5 SS -115

 

[WT3]

Because if you think there going to win and combine them then you get a better return on your money.

Turns out I knew what I was talking about great fights.

 

[mkess101]

Nah, I'm very confident he fights for a title within the next 3 years.

I famously compared him to Victor Webanyama before he fought Tafa:

Heavyweight is complete trash, it doesn't take much to be elite there.

It is obvious he is an outlier when you consider his extremely young age as a HW and where he is already at at this point in his career, as well as the unprecedented athleticism/ finesse he has for a HW of his size.

Not that it means that much, but look at what he looks like.



He just looks like somebody.

I think he looks like an NBA player

This is what I meant. While I agreed with you and thought Texeira would win, it wasn’t a spot to have such supreme confidence. A HW fight with 2 KO artists means pretty high variance. And like I said we hadn't seen Texeira yet against anyone decent.

Hopefully you used good discipline and didn’t go super heavy on him.

 

[LordHellraiser]

Lewis by KO. He'll weather a little storm, where TT gonna get excited, and in the space between the blink and a tear, he'll be wide eyed and blank

Hey @DalchaLungiambula still laughing?

You like to dunk on me and portray like you're some prima Donna making money in a game others can't.

You're a fraud.

Keep sprouting from your soapbox. I'll keep making fun of your kind and making real money in real world while you suck your own dick and fan your own flame.

I lost 6000 on him.




I'm going to chase on Crute/ Holland parlay.

I need this next one to win, my partner gets angry and is unbearable to live with when I lose money
