SilverNBlackFan Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 If Cannonier loses, Ariel saying ufc would probably book Izzy-Jan Blachowicz over Izzy-Whittaker 2. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What chances do you guys give Justin this weekend? decent, idt he is gonna stop the takedowns more than most guys but khabib in pretty much every fight stands up a decent amount to preserve energy, most dudes are also super tired at that point tho lol and focused on stopping the TDs instead of striking. if justin can go zombie mode per usual and stay aggressive striking he has a good shot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) i think it will also be pretty bad for justin if khabib gets on top (and he's not able to scramble out quickly,) doubt justin has high level bjj. if i were to bet on it I would bet khabib via submission Edited October 23, 2020 by 11sanchez11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. If he's going up to 205 he should fight Jon Jones. It's the biggest fight they can possible do outside of Khabib/Conor 2. And if they do that fight it gives someone time to earn a true #1 contender spot at MW and doesn't hold up the middle weight or light heavyweight division. Because if Izzy does fight and beat Jan, what happens after that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The UFC removed Leon Edwards from the MW rankings. Maybe we see him fight Chimeav next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't even the champion in Bellator when he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big poppa pump Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think Justin is a "live dog" as they say in the betting world. lol It may appear that his only path to victory would be a KO, but I think if he strings together some rounds where he keeps it standing (for the most part) he could get a decision.  I just think the more likely scenario is that Khabib either submits him, or keeps him on the mat for the majority of the fight, and wins a decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking at betting on him, take him by finish (most likely KO). If he wins the fight, it won't be a decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any way he wins a decision. If it goes 25 min, it won't be because they are on their feet. Then again, I would've bet my life on Stipe/DC not going to a decision in the smaller octagon, so who really knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he's looking to retire soon, a Conor rematch would be a HUGE payday to end his career on and might even be equal to or more than his total career earnings combined. Money talks but he's not exactly controlled by the almighty dollar the way alot of people are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
