Yair Rodriguez vs. Zabit Magomedsharipov Official For UFC 227 in Los Angeles

[SKITZADACTYL]

zabit via being more complete, holy fuck this fight is going to be ridiculous lmao.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

Legit WW Zabit fighting a FW…

yair isn't exactly small, they're both tall lanky FW's, yeah zabit is bigger but it won't be too crazy.

zabit definitely isn't a WW.

zabit definitely isn't a WW.

Zabit is 6’2, that is even tall for WW standards let alone FW. He has a horrendous weight cut to 145 and regularly walks around at 175. Killing himself to fight at 145.

 

[Ares Black]

This fight could set a record for spinning shit!

Damn. Dana going HAM for LA

guessing there might be a hang up with the date

if he's walking around at 175 then he's a LW.


yair would be a good sized LW as well.

Sherdog is an odd place. At first Yair was ducking but now that he has accepted the fight he shouldn't have.

UFC 227 lookin good

 

[Kintaro]

Holy shit. If gsp and rockhold fights are on that will be hell of a card.

Just need cain, nick diaz and jon jones on it in addition, and after watching it i can die.

WTF lol dude had to go to war with Kyle fucking Bochniak... Yair dusts him

Fap fap fap

Yair is going to demolish him though, such a long layoff & Yair is a hard-worker, i expect to see a whole new fighter & one that's on the next level, Zabit is going to get embarrassed.

Someone really wants Yair to get beat up.

 

[bryank]

Holy shit I love this fight... don't sleep on Yair just because of the Frankie fight, seems like most of this thread is.

Bad fight for Yair to take. He's going to drop to 0-2 after like a year of inactivity.

Mmmm. Who knows what or why he took that year off - but I'd have to assume he spent time addressing certain weaknesses on his skill-set/grappling.

Training drills is where fighters mention they improve on certain things. Don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for a fighter to take time off or in Yair's case where he also took some hefty damage in the Edgar fight.
