Cummings looks drained, seems like he he tried pretty hard to make it, he was the last to weigh in as well. I'm also on Yakovlev now. Still expect a competitive fight.

is it me or are more people missing weight since early weigh ins?

I saw a stat the other day, can't remember the exact numbers or whether it was for fight pullouts or missing weight, but there has been signifcantly less since early weighins

I feel like this too but I think it's just because the last 3 or 4 weigh ins have had SO many guys miss weight. Not mention the guys that missed weight by crazy amounts like Alves and Gastelum last week.

I am actually pretty impress that between this card and the Brazil card, there was only 1 guy that missed it and it wasn't by something like 8 lbs.
 
I am all on the Timothy Johnson DEC line but anyone else a little worried after seeing Volkov weigh in at almost 250lbs?

He is the biggest I have ever seen him (think he usually weighed in at like 220 lbs in Bellator) and I think might make things a little bit more difficult for Timmy and his takedowns.

don't worry about Volkov defending takedowns.

The lowest he weighed in Bellator was 225lbs in his debut but over the years he's been slowly filling out his frame. He's been between 240-243 in the past 2 years, however Johnson has bullied more powerful opponents and I'm fairly confident he can do it here too. If Volkov can keep the distance and use his front kick up the middle early on and establish his range it will be a very different story.

Yeah Alves and Kelvin prob made it seem worse than it actually is.

It's hw so anything can happen disclaimer, but volkov is awful at keeping distance. I watched his penultimate fight and the guy rushed him in r1 to get the clinch and you could see it a mile off but he still couldn't avoid it and ended up clinched against the ropes. He has really poor cage/ring awareness and no ability to fight out of the clinch, defend takedowns or get up from the bottom. Weighing more if anything is going to slow him down and make him even less likely to be able to avoid the clinch. More weight does not make up for piss poor td defence or change the fact he has long gangly legs to grab hold of.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have fantastic takedown defence or amazing clinch work but like you said it's HW and anything can happen. I'm on Johnson DEC but I think people are underestimating Volkov a bit too much.

Also, Smoldarev is far from a slouch.

Yeah Smoldarev was 2-0 going into the third round he could easily have put volkov on a 3 fight skid if he didnt fall into that triangle.

If it's a stand up fight tim is in trouble no doubt about it but surely tim comes in and wrestles path of least resistance and all.
 
McCall injured again? Is this serious? b365 still not removed the fight from the card and i am considering to close my bets with McCall
 
@Sham5916910 has betsafe ever fucked you about? I'm trying to withdraw cash they didn't let me bet with (limit) and they emailed me saying it's been rejected because "my latest deposited amount has not been turned over while playing any of the products we offer"

wtf are these cunts doing? i didn't take any bullshit signup offer
