Who Here Thinks Hermansson can Beat Whittaker?

[LetThemBleed]

Hell yeah I'm hoping for a Marvin win, IDGAF if its a flukey rolling thunder KO in the last 5 seconds of round 5.

I think Izzy is going to wreck him, but ah well.

Yeah unfortunately I think you're right, Marvin's got a solid chin on him though so he might make it to a decision whilst coping a battering, any luck he exposes a few flaws that Whittaker can take advantage of. Hopefully if Adesanya wins however there's zero shenanigans coming from his team in particular that dbag of a coach, trying to push Till to the front of the line if he wins one fight against Brunson.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Hermansson has terrible striking defense, Whittaker chews him up

 

[LetThemBleed]

If marvin wins, the entire UFC middle division becomes a joke. A guy like brunny,lol, could come in be a UFC champ.

Israel needs to win ( probably will) and Whitaker 2 needs to happen..... for the sake of legitimacy of this current class.

Good thing the Bellator MW division is a serious competition with genuine elite MW fighters like Lima, Rory, old Machida etc. Be nice if Mousasi actually faces a genuine elite MW opponent next, lost to the only genuine MW talent he fought in Bellator.

 

[HockeyBjj]

We've seen what happens when Hermannson can't get it to the ground and Whittaker has some of the best takedown defense in the UFC.

This.

Hermanson's best chance of winning really is some sort of imanari roll to heel hook

 

[The_Renaissance]

Nah, Whittaker finishes him I reckon, it'd looked similar to the Hermansson/Cannonier fight.

Eh, Marvin isn't a bad fighter, he is very well rounded. Plus, Whittaker snatches the strap up easily, restoring the legitimacy of the division lol.

Yeah, Eugene seems like a real dick.

And yeah, the more wear and tear and tape on Izzy and gameplanning Whittaker can do the better. I hope Izzy doesn't get enough time to improve his ground game though.

Here's to hoping Marvin takes Izzy down and subs him in a round cause of Izzy's shitty BJJ.

Lol rather long winded way to say no you haven't come to terms with it yet. Don't worry bud, you'll get there one day. As for the Ngannou fight, congrats you got one right, pretty sure you said he'd beat Stipe the first time too though so eventually with enough guesses you were bound to get one correct one day.

As for your fighters evolving argument Hermannson's striking looked awful against Edmen, and he struggled against Marvin whilst Whittaker's arguably never looked better in his most recent outing with Gastelum. Is there a possibility that Hermansson could win, well yeah no shit it's a fight after all strange things can happen, most people are simply saying Whittaker would rightfully start as favourite and there's good reason to be confident in him should such match up ever eventuate.

I still dont know whst you're going on about and ,lol, " getting one right " is a far cry from my actual breakdown of let's say the last 20 fights.

I see the narrative is changing now- " confident that he'll win " is a far cry from the way you idiots are talking. For now , I agree until I see an opening line and then break down the possible variables that are ahead of me - not behind me.

I'll continue to educate u.....and maybe MAYBE one day , you'll understand someone who knows what hes talking about ( not holding my breath).

You now can continue to be a " me too" person.

A " me too" person? So now you're conflating talking on the internet with sexual assault, why do you always have to make it creepy af? I've told you this before bud, no shame if your boat floats that way but mine doesn't.
As to the non super creepy part of your rather deranged post what narrative change? Yes people are very confident the Reaper would win in this hypothetical match up, I am too, increasingly so based on the two fighter's respective last performances.

What are you talking about you fool. IM not comparing belllator to UFC s middle division. 185 in general is not in a good place. This where you start fabricating things I've never said.....and , yes, Mousasi beat up the 205 sized Rachel Lovato. This was for a mma world title. She shouldve never left London with belt. You should actually watch fight.
Agsin, this has nothing to do with anything except u being exposed for your lack of mma acumen.

Do you want me to say that hermansson has absolutely zero chance of beating Whitaker? Is that what you want ?

That wont happen cause I'm not an idiot and I understand the way this game works.

Dude, why even bother engaging with me ?
You're in way over your head ( lol, with me)

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Which sherbros are picking Hermansson if this fight gets booked?

<{cruzshake}>
I honestly like Jack, especially for a grappler, he’s entertaining and violent, goes for finishes versus just controlling his opponent, I digress...

IMO Bobby Knuckles starches Hermansson, he does it quick and convincingly... I’m thinking 2 rounds tops

Lol Rachel Lovato, at least that's new. It's just another coping mechanism however bud. You explicitly said if Marvin wins the belt the UFC MW division becomes a joke, I'm just pointing out the equivalent Bellator division is already a joke.

Lol- your interaction with letthembedumb speaks volumes with mma fans ( not all but most ).
I'd pick your battles more wisely. I give u permission to respond but I wouldn't if were u( I have nothing agsinst u for now)

At least I can spell the word against. Wouldn't really be calling anyone dumb if I were you.

Theres no reason to point that out.....and mousasi ( still one of the top fighters in world) will be in a lose lose scenario no matter who he fights. He probably has a couple good years left in him, we'll see how it plays out.Hes only been doing this for 18+ years since age 17.....and clean .

You need to be educated on true long lasting greatness....not just gegard. It's the kind of rarified air that nobody reaches ( as far as sucess / every top promotion).

This isnt about mousasi or Bellator. You made your opinion and I agree theres not much going on in bmma 185. DUH. ..

I'll still take todays Lima over Usman ....and I'll put my money where my mouth is ( you wouldnt understand- u still cant grasp the fact of certain fighters evolving )

Great reply. Yes, while typing a post the s is near the a. You truly are a piece of work - friendo or " mate"

Lol you take yourself way too seriously mate, I'm just laughing at some of the dumb shit you say regarding Mousasi and acting like you're an MMA savant is kind of hilarious. Case in point saying you'll put your money where your mouth is by saying you'd back Lima to beat Usman, what's the likelihood of that fight happening anytime soon? Tell you what I'll show the same bravery as you I'll put my money where my mouth is I'll back Whittaker to beat Mousasi. When both sets of fights happen (never going to) the winner of our high-stakes wager can collect the non-existent millions of dollars in prize money. Deal?

Just trying to make a point , mate - that there are some possibilities outside the UFC that can be top 3 - champ.

I just gone done ripping down walls for months about Chandler....and years about Oliveria. I was right on both counts ....people know ( I dont need or want people backing me ). Its what I do .I go down my own path and make my own opinions.

What point about Chandler? He didn't win the belt and if the UFC matches him up against Gaethje, which Just Bleed God willing they do, I think he's getting brutally knocked the fuck out. Oliviera's been on a tear the last 3 years since losing to Felder in 2017, props to the guy and to you if you said post Felder fight he'd be a champion but I don't think he'd beat Khabib and I don't think he beats Dustin.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

It never crossed my mind that Bisping could KO Luke in their rematch to steal the belt,
but when exactly that happened I learned to never doubt a fighter's ability to finish another fighter.
