UFN 125 - Anders vs Machida - Brazil

[ill800]

im already 3 units deep on dodson at -142. watched munhoz against font and came away very confident in dodson. Like everyone else fear his lack of volume and bias judges

Font was putting it on him until he got caught

 

[ill800]

Brooks is a great wrestler and Fig got up every time. Morales is as weak as piss and Fig has excellent body lock td's and is a strong fly.

How is morales weak?

 

[Sham5916910]

How is morales weak?

Physically he is. In his 5 rounder he was slammed from the body lock every round like a rag doll.

 

[Card]

Got a new contract and more money, I'm really happy, I thought I won my last fight, even people in the back thought I won, I'm willing to travel, I think that's why they gave it to me, I think they see something in me, I have to be alot more aggressive, now I have to use my wrestling aggressively, use my wrestling, you'll see that in this fight, really go for the finish, I train with Gilbert Burns, he didn't even want to go to the ground with him, I'm not worried about BJJ, I don't think he has anything for me on the ground, I will TKO him in the second, he'll punch himself out, I won't go to 145 again

I would disagree that he’s “weak as piss”

A lot of that was technique, fatigue and giving up bad position.

He’s got #legitsu

 

[Card]

Interviewer says this arena has air conditioning, it's my time now, he's powerful, I respect him, but I will take him out, he's worried about my heart

 

[MT6ix]

Yeah. I'm feeling this is either going to be a KO1 for Dodson or Dodson's third straight contentious split decision. I bet on Munhoz to upset Font, but that fight was all Font till Munhoz caught him with a hook and managed to dive on the finish. I think Dodson's just too disciplined for him, and Munhoz's best shot at winning is either an epic brainfart from Dodson or Dodson choosing to throw fuck all volume.

I agree, bad matchup stylistic for Munhoz, he is going to press forward and get hit with counter straight lefts from Dodson and I like the talk of Dodson saying he is going to be more aggressive in this fight too.

Only really way I see Munhoz winning is catching a submission in a scramble but Dodson doesn't have much of a neck to grab. I just hope we don't see a Elkins/Michael Johnson scenario play out again.

How are you playing the fight?

shevchenko fight sitting at 1.7 for U2.5 ... one of those rare times a womans doesnt go the distance?

 

[molest]

I really like Munhoz here, when Dodson gets pressured he performs real bad, Moraes had the most success when pressuring with kicks.
Munhoz gonna pressure all fight and win a decision unless he gets koed.

The guys Dodson has lost to are two high level strikers and one huge power puncher (Demetrious Johnson, Moraes and Lineker), Munhoz doesn't fall into that category, doesn't use angles and doesn't move his head.

Munhoz in the majority of his fights is getting outstruck on his feet and in some cases light up until he comes from behind and lands a submission ala Brian Ortega. There is going to be a big disparity in the striking game on Saturday. Only concern is whether Dodson just decides to sit back and just counter or if Munhoz can snatch a submission.

 

[ADD]

I don' like Dodson here. I'm sure he will find his way through Munhoz quite poor defence with his fast hands darting in and out, but Munhoz will have his moments to and I think Munhoz will make a fight out of it standing. Munhoz have sharpen his boxing and looks more and more comfortable on the feet.
Rob Font is a good boxer and he did good against him.
If Munhoz get his takedowns minutes can go with Dodson beeing in uncomfortable positions and my prediction is 29-28 decition to Munhoz.
1u ML Munhoz

Ehh, Shev is a decision machine in her UFC career, her kickboxing career also.

+odds on this would be the way to go though.

To be fair Dodson has been saying that for his past few fights

Also, I think he arguably won the lineker and moraes fight

I dont tbink the fight were one sided. Font have a very good jab that he found early success with but if you fast forward 2min Munhoz were the better man for the next 2min.

I thought font was beating the crap out of him aside from eating a few shots

 

[danareem]

Took a 0.5u stab on shev to win by decision or in round 3, +137 betfair.

how many guys have taken down john dodson?

he couldve won the lineker fight...even stopped him...its just not in him to step in the pocket and risk getting kod to secure the ko

like what dillishaw did against garbradt

He's as frustrating a fighter there is. He has the tools to beat Pedro badly. But this could totally look like the Lineker fight

his footwork might be his achilles.

if he didnt possess such great footwork he might have become a different type of fighter
