Haha! Even the announcers were like... Yeah, this guy is going to get torched.
 
How do you see your guy Jared Cannonier doing in his debut tomorrow?

TKO in the 2nd win for Cannonier. But really I could be completely wrong. Cannonier hasn't really fought anyone as athletic as himself, and despite Jordan not looking like an athlete, he really is. Cannonier is really fast though.

I think it all comes down to if Jordan wants to use his wrestling or not. He's been content with slugging it out when he probably shouldn't.

Jordan has some weird fight IQ. I've really given up predicting what he'll do. If he lands clean on Cannonier, he wins. If he takes it to the ground he likely wins. If Cannonier lands clean he'll win, and if he takes down Jordan, who knows. I'm placing my bets on Cannonier's speed, his fist will reach Jordan's face quicker.

Jordan's pretty under-rated IMO, some fans think he's a jobber which he really isn't.

He's definitely Cannonier's biggest test and Jared looked TINY at the weigh-ins. He needs to drop to 205, win or lose, for me.

I'm taking Jordan via submission, 2nd round.
 
Who are some of the best SHW fighters? The only one legit SHW I can think of is Huggy bear, but names outside of him Tim Sylvia, Hong Man Choi, and Lungu is a legend in his own right

Justin Willis weighed in at 290 for his last fight in Japan. Mike Gordon had a 4 fight win streak at one point. Gheorghe Ignat weighed in at 310 pounds. Chaz Morgan fights SHW. Mighty Mo.

That's about it though, it's a dying weight class since most guys who weigh in over 265 will cut to HW once they graduate from the amateurs.
 
ugggghhh thought Rich Chou was a HW genius. Blagoi Ivanov released according to Jason Floyd. He's a top 15 HW theres absolutely no logical behind that. He isn't even boring either.

The hell? That's ridiculous. Even though he's coming off a loss, the UFC should make an offer on him.
