What Went Wrong at UFC 251?
It would have been a success anyhow, but thanks to some wonky judging in Muslim Salikhov vs. Eliezeu Zaleski dos Santos, “Fight Islands” launching wound up a perfect triumph. Jiri Prochazka and Davey Grant scored massive knockouts as underdogs, Petr Yan got a decisive surface of his own, Karol Rosa controlled Vanessa Melo as expected, and Salikhov, well, he got his hand raised.
UFC On ESPN 13 Odds For The Under Card:
That will not serve him well versus Bergh, whos both decently capable on the feet and loath to squander time there when the takedown presents itself. Whether he drags Gonzalez to the mat of his own volition or capitalizes on the Mexican sluggers periodic reactive takedowns with his patented guillotine, “Ymir” figures to tap him in the past long.
Thoughts: Ricardo Ramos and Kenneth Bergh appear like affordable financial investments just based upon their considerable grappling benefits, which figure to bring them to success against unsafe strikers.
Bergh blew his weight cut, so hes out (information). Put Tim Elliott in there instead– Ryan Benoits been removed more than a dozen times in his last 4 battles.
While Lerone Murphy succeeded to fight through early hardship versus Zubaira Tukugov, “Warrior” still handled to take him down six times, continuing to land takedowns even at the point of total fatigue. Ramos, though not as devastating or heavy-handed with his wrestling as the Chechen bruiser, is a far much better submission artist and has the takedown chops to at least partly recreate Tukhugovs efforts. Barring some serious improvements on Murphys part, Ramos needs to own this on the mat.
Khamzat Chimaev (-335) vs. John Phillips (+275 )Ricardo Ramos (-155) vs. Lerone Murphy (+135 )Modestas Bukauskas (-230) vs. Andreas Michailidis (+190 )Jared Gordon (-145) vs. Chris Fishgold (+125 )Diana Belbita (-165) vs. Liana Jojua (+145 )Jack Shore (-700) vs. Aaron Philips (+500 )Kenneth Bergh (-150) vs. Jorge Gonzalez (+130 )
UFC On ESPN 13 Odds For The Main Card:
Santos ostentatious 15-1 record is almost totally fluff; a minimum of 9 of those triumphes came against winless opponents. She does have considerable height and reach advantages versus McCann, her failure to keep Mara Romero Borella from closing the range suggests that shell struggle with McCanns newfound fumbling prowess. As against Diana Belbita and Ariane Lipski, McCann ought to have the ability to pacify a rangy, aggressive striker with routine takedowns.
Thoughts: Molly McCann looks awfully undervalued from where Im sitting. The ladies have shown to be quality financial investments lately, so lets give “Meatball” our faith.
Parlaying her with Jack Shore, who is going to wipe out Aaron Philips, results in positive chances. Go for it …
