Well Eh. We kinda left this UFC 243 card just finding out more about some young fighters.
Robert Whittaker vs Israel Adesanya
Whittaker was trying to not get picked apart on the outside, so he was trying to rush in. He got caught several times doing that, but he continued, tried his luck and got knocked out. If I’m in the Cannonier camp I’d be trying to fight Whittaker. Adesanya will likely face Borrachinha next. Got this pick right
Al Iaquinta vs Dan Hooker
I forgot about the physical tools that Hooker has in his arsenal. He used those physical tools to keep Iaquinta away, and just out-pointed him
Tai Tuivasa vs Sergey Spivak
Spivak really wanted to get that scarf hold submission on Tuivasa, he ended up locking in that Arm triangle choke. Tuivasa is a Mark Hunt clone, and How do you beat Mark Hunt? You take him to the floor.
Luke Jumeau vs Dhiego Lima
There are so many holes in Jumeau’s game. This fight was….. ehh….
Jake Matthews vs Rostem Akman
Akman had no urgency. Did his corner tell him that he was 2 rounds down?
Yorgan De Castro vs Justin Tafa
I picked De Castro to lose because he wasn’t that impressive on the Contender Series. Tafa is heavyweight with three pro fight. Eh…
Callan Potter vs Maki Pitolo
Both fighters are meat
Megan Anderson vs Zarah Faim Dos Santos
Gave Anderson a newcomer. That’s about it
Brad Riddell vs Jamie Mullarkey
Both guys are talent. Wrong coin-flip pick
Nadia Kassem vs Ji Yeon Kim
I dont know why I picked Kassem. She gets punched in the face, and she closes her eyes and turns away! She’s on the lower-level of low, and that referee almost screwed up Ji Yeon Kim’s win
Khalid Taha vs Bruno Silva
Taha is looking technical and is getting better
4/11 picked correctly. I’m not really disappointed because, UFC 243 was so soft
