He has

But he’s put on more muscle, which will slow him down/tire him out quicker. He still takes damage. Smith has legit power. He’s a huge 185er. And he’s tough.

+235-250 is a great price for him. The longer the fight goes, the more it favors smith. If he catches Santos clean it’s likely over.

-wants to fight tj since he beat him before
-wants new contract with this win
 
Man, I think Valentina could make 115 if she wanted that... At 130 it's not even a very big weight cut to get 115...

smith doesn't hit too hard imo. doesn't mean he can't get the finish cuz santos can be hurt. but santos could survive even if he is clipped pretty good. not worried about his power. still 185

Agreed, Smith says himself that he isn't a hard hitter. Of course if he lands a knee, elbow, or head kick that's a different story.
 
Smith has killer instinct. Even if he isn't the hardest hitter in the world, he starts to overwhelm once he puts it on. One of his best attributes used to be covering the range and surprising his opponents by that. It's similar to what Matt Brown has the capability of doing. With Santos who fights long anyhow, I don't know how well Smith will do standing.
 
My only plays for this card are Soto and Tim Johnson. Iuri has looked like dogshit in his past few fight and is on his way out. Tim Johnson is gonna show Golm the way of the 'merican wrassling I hope. Golm seems unproven, beating bums in brazil then the biggest UFC HW bum ever in Columbo.
 


shev and santos buy twitter followers
 
smith just got outstruck for 2 rounds by 5'9 40 year old lombard and got the finish in r3 because lombard becomes a punching bag in the later rounds. i think santos is going to bust that ass.

smith also cuts from 230 at 6'4 he should be at lhw. no wonder he always looks so laboured.

He might not look like he does but trust me, that big boy punches through you and if he connects clean like he did with Lombard he can put Santos out

Worth the play imo. Santos -150 was good but at the current price I like smith

He starts slow but he finishes strong. Perfect for someone like Santos, who has too much muscle and can’t maintain the pace he sets. He isn’t exactly a defensive dynamo either

I like Santos, but I have to play the odds on this one. Just a gut feeling . Not like the Kim fight last week. That fight screamed massive value to me.

Idk. He looked pretty damn good in the second round against Marsh and Meers. I kept looking for any signs of slowing and he almost seemed to get stronger
 


Love me some bullet

I thought he looked good as well. Didn’t think he got stronger though.

Kind of like dober, when you throw 100% power and you take shots you are just going to slow down. Dober looked like he was in quick sand in the 3rd rd. Don’t think Santos is that bad though

But we will see. That’s why we call it a gamble

He starts slow. He dropped Lombard at the end of the 2nd rd

He is huge. He does a good job of pacing himself but sometimes that doesn’t fare well if you go to decision
 
Some red flags for Johnson from Ukrams video interview cliffs notes
