I've obviously watched his fights. Would you consider going 1-2 in UFC impressive? Sure Bags and Borg aren't easy match ups but he got dominated by Borg and I think you need to rewatch the Bags fight if you thought it was "super competitive", he lost every round in that fight too. And the Sanchez fight was very competitive until he Herrera got the KO. You are obviously on Herrera so I understand you defending him.

I'd have Herrera going 2-1 or better against Ben 10's comp.

I'd have ben 10 going 1-2 at best. Possibly 0-3 against hereras comp.

There's a reason the odds are so close.

If we're playing MMATH here Louis gave Ben 10 a beatdown then lost to a non top 100 flyweight in the first round.

That was a huge upset tho. Don't downplay how good Smolka is. Plus Ben 10 nearly finished him in the 1st
 
Ben Nguyen, Richard Walsh, Jake Matthews, Tyson Pedro, Robert Whittaker, Kyle Noke, Daniel Kelly, Damien Brown, Alex Volkanovski

I see the argument for Kelly... Camozzi has lost pretty much every fight vs grapplers (except when he faced the ghost of Riggs). Camozzi is slow with bad footwork and loves clinching, which is the judo wheelhouse. And you can assume that the line will always underrate Kelly because of the dad bod.

Jake Mattews, Damien Brown and Alex Volk are all 155ers but they all look like they are in different weight classes. Matthews is a massive 155er

Was all over Pedro to begin with, even more confident now.

Can you share your thoughts about this fight? I would love to fade Roundtree but not a lot info from Pedro. I have not even found her age or reach and only 1 fight in youtube against a 0-0 guy.
 
I'm on Ben, but not with a ton of confidence. I think he's generally the sharper striker - he's faster, throws better combinations, and has a better sense of stuff like feinting and exiting on angles. Herrera is fairly poor defensively and often resorts to running back in a straight line, which could be dangerous against someone with Ben's ability to cover distance. Ben has a worrying habit of overextending and letting his head drift over his feet when he shifts forward and Herrera is a decent counter puncher, but not a great one and I think Ben's ability to feint and disguise his entries will make it difficult for Herrera to counter. Herrera also seems to be a slow starter - he looked pretty bad in the first round against Joby before he found his timing on simultaneous counters, and that could be dangerous against Ben.
 
I feel like Brunson will overwhelm Whitaker at some point with his striking or GnP. Really like Whitaker, but think Brunson is fulfilling his potential and will have a significant wrestling, size and power advantage, while also being far more athletic and explosive fighter.

I will be aboard the Kelly train and throw a unit on his DEC line. He is a tough SOB and think his Judo can play a big factor and win rounds from top position.

Haven't been impressed with Walsh and think Meunier wins, but won't play his current line.

Like Hooker to win a DEC against Knight. Think Hooker lands the bigger shots while Knight pushes forward. Also think if it hits the ground Hooker will be on top.

Herrara/Ben - agree with the forum, think its Ben early or Herrara late. Could easily a split if it goes the distance, with Ben winning 1.5 rounds and then Herrera controlling late.

Think Tuck outclasses Brown tbh. Not impressed with Brown at all. Tuck is inconsistent, but not sure Brown wins on Tuck's bad days.

Haven't researched other fights as much but like Noke as a dog, Volkanski as parlay fodder (depending on price) and Pedro sub.
 
So far it sounds like me and Brick Top are on the same guys.

Done a breakdown on it in the earlier pages of this thread buddy.
