BREAKING NEWS - THIAGO SANTOS CAN NOT WALK AFTER SURGERY!

 

[Spycho]

Always refreshing to see teammates picking teammates and fighters picking fighters they lost to...

 

[Calipwnia]

Costa is a bad boy. But Yoel is daddy

Looks about right

TS is probably 12 years of age, don’t bully him too much.


Or.. nevermind. Go for the kill

That is factually wrong. I look at picks across multiple websites before every single card and let them slightly sway my baseline before I place my bets. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that very heavy favorites as picked by pros, MMA website staff, or even forum members, almost always win.

 

[Lateralus]

It's Costa's time....TKO in the 2nd

 

[Bartosh]

Costa struggled against Uriah Hall. Soldier of God will annihilate him.

Chute Boxe beats the Olympian

 

[r-harper-1]

I have a hunch Costa wins this .... Romero gonna age overnight

 

[Megatronlee]

Looks about right

That’s dan quinn

 

[Hirashin]

This event is coming in just 5 days time people. Not a single new picture from Romero?

This is a possibility and it worries me tbh. I have no idea where Romero is at physically and mentally, while we know Costa is peaking. If Romero loses it may be his last fight.

 

[Jabbathehook]

I would like to see Romero use a heavy wrestling game plan early on, as Costa was blowing hard in his fight with Uriah.

While Romero's wrestling is one of the best, his cardio doesn't allow him to wrestle as much as he wants. Romero had to learn to become a tactical fighter. But it is a good idea, I agree.

 

[DarkneT]

Hardest fight to predict in AGES

I do think Costa can get it done though

Yoel is an exception to human life but damn is he getting old
