Zak Cummings vs Gunnar Nelson

[ZeroZ]

Zak Cummings is a big welterweight who used to compete at Light heavyweight.. Zak is a strong wrestler who has only 3 loses in his carer included a lose to Ryan Jimmo at light heavyweight and Tim Kennedy at middleweight.. Gunnar Nelson is considered a small welterweight and sherdogers have been making there feelings heard that he should drop to lightweight.. If Gunnar Nelson will win next saturday will those voices calling for him to drop weigh class vanish or is Zak not considered skilled enough? Yan Cabral a bjj black belt had trouble taking Zak down in the last fight do you see Gunnar having the same trouble aking him down or do you think we are gonna see Gunnar wanting to trade against him with his striking which is probably Zaks weakpoint..?

Gunni and Conor are two G.O.A.T.S that trains with each other.

I dont even know who Cummins is, TUF guy ro something? but lose he will. Gunni is a futute champ. As long as he doesn't get injured again.

 

[SimonNova]

Gimme fight for Gunnar.

 

[BionicCommando]

Gimme fight for Gunnar.

I would've thought that easily pre Yan Cabral. Now I'm picking Gunni but perhaps by a tighter margin that previously expected. I doubt that Cummings gets blown out the gate.

Yeah i agree with this, Cummings is a pretty tough dude. Likable too.
Gunnar definitely has the more diverse skillset.

Cummings is not easy to put away. I do believe that Gunni will find a way to win, but I

Gunnar looks two weight classes smaller than cummings. I do think that Gunnar can pick him apart on the feet and win a decision though. For anyone wondering, Gunnar only cuts 5lbs to make welterweight. As he said in his interview here

Zak will have nothing for Gunnar

 

[coldtruth]

People are really overlooking Cummings.

 

[DeformedGravy]

Cummings was very impressive against Cabral. With how big he is and how good his sub defense is its not unreasonable that he could get the upset here by bullying Nelson.

 

[Catsmasher 5000]

Nelson by whatever he wants

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Zak is derailing the hype train.

 

[Jar of Flies]

Cummings is under rated. He has a chance all be it a small one

 

[LGVB]

I gotta admit Zak surprised me a lot since TUF but I think Gunni is gonna outclass him.

I really don't understand this match up. Maybe I think highly of Gunnar but I have a feeling he will win in both stand up and on the ground.

For me total mismatch and maybe just a fight to get Gunnar nice showing in front of his (near) hometown and one more in win column

 

[Gnarwhal]

really wanted to see gunnar vs laflare

 

[ebartlett84]

Gunnar Nelson is going to have his way with Cummings.


Complete mismatch.

 

[TheWolfsHowl]

I think Gunnar takes this. He's got too much skill to let a size difference matter.

Well. Zak is an injury replacement so I don't really blame them. And Zak is a really cool guy, I actually waited on him a few days before this fight was announced. He mentioned something about getting back in there sooner than expected.

Anywho I think Zak can take this but maybe I'm biased.
