Easy work for Stephens. He is going to walk through his ninja shit and place some power on him.

I hope Lil Heathen knocks the Dagestani out cold. Hype train derailed.

It's very possible. He has insane power, good anti wrestling, great cardio, very experienced and very solid boxing. Zabit's weaknesses are cardio, boxing and being inexperienced - in many ways, he is like Lando (great movement, flashy stand up and fun grappling) that did not get immediately thrown to the upper echelon of guys and has got to can crush for a bit, look like a super hero, but still had his holes exposed. I hope it is a five rounder.
 
Damn. That's true test for Zabit. Big balls on Jeremy too, giving the lower ranked guy an opportunity. Jeremy had to fight life and limb for his spot on those rankings. Should be a war!

Big step up in opponent ranking for Zabit. I was kinda hoping for Yair/Zabit tho. Jeremy is a straight forward type of a fighter. Should be easy work for Zabit considering his style.

His style of having a hard time knowing where the cage is when he's being backed to it and Stephens being pretty good at putting his opponent on the cage?
Stephens is amazingly inconsistent and a fairly overrated finisher but he will greatly trouble Zabit
 
Stephens has the stopping power to make it interesting.
 
I’m definitely a fan of Zabit but some of the hype here is ridiculous. He’s still unproven.

Stephens is gonna give Zabit all he can handle and then some. If Stephens can consistently pressure Zabit he has this fight imo.

Stoked to see Zabit finally get a big step up. A loss wouldn’t be a major setback and a win puts him right into the mix.

Yea, for sure. Any of those cans he has fought in past wouldn't last round with Stephens and Brandon Davis turned Zabit into a panic wrestler.

I don't doubt he will give Zabit some trouble considering his experience and heart but I am fairly confident in Zabit. Hope you'll both prove me wrong.

It's not that I don't like Zabit, it's that his hype for what little he's done is really out of control.
I do find it really impressive how well he can function with Hoe Rogan firmly on Zabit's nuts all the time.

Spinning shit really makes idiots out of fans.
 
I thought he was getting cut for his shenanigans post Habibi fight.

Or was that someone else?
 
I just don't see what is so special about Zabit. Grappling is good, but nothing special & his striking is pretty much on average level. I'll fully believe that Jeremy Stephens will show that there is levels to this game.
 
Zabit takes him down and submits him.

Truly nothing more to see here, folks.

be honest - are you trolling or just plain fucking dumb?

He's one of the most exciting fighters to watch because he's a FW version of Jon Jones - equally skilled standing and grappling
