My all-time favourite fighters are Paul Craig, Jack Hermansson, Deron Winn, Diego Sanchez, and Max Holloway. Funnily enough, my all-time favourite jiu jitser is Vinicius Moreira and my all time favourite former footballer is Eryk Anders. As you know, they meet this weekend in what promises to be a can't-miss, all-action fight for the ages. So I thought it appropriate to share my breakdown for everyone...
A large Brazilian man who says he practices jiu jitsu, Vinicius Moreira will bait his opponent with a mirage of actual striking defense and allow them to punch his head at their pleasure. Exactly to plan, the unwitting opponent will watch as Vinicius relies on his terrible durability to drop him to the floor. Then, like a spider waiting in his web, assuming his brain maintains enough consciousness (or wisely employing the Fencing Reflex if not), Moreira will become a tangle of limbs and trickery. The question then becomes: is his opponent foolish enough to follow him there?
Enter Eryk Anders. Much to the relief of lazy broadcast teams with air to fill between fights, Anders is a former college football player. With his playing days now behind him, Anders is currently a mixed martial artist. He happily utilizes a mix of fortunate genetic athleticism, crude toughness, and general low intelligence to both win and lose fights. In the face of technical adversity - he was once rendered harmless by an opponent tapping his lead foot up and down - Anders will bite down on his mouthpiece and simply do nothing for an entire bout. He also might knock his opponent out in the very first round. He may even get knocked himself. You just never know what you're gonna get with Ya Boi! But seriously; you actually do not know what you're going to get.
After reading all that, you will not be rewarded with any prediction on this incoming shit show. May the deity you choose to believe in have mercy on you if you choose to wager money on this.
This is beautiful
