BullsandBroncos Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I'm rooting for Black Beast hard but my gut tells me Gane is going to go fundamental heavy and piece up Derrick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i fully expect a 50-45 decision. Makes me wonder how exciting he’d be vs Francis too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonStark Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Someone is gonna have to talk me out of betting on RDA vs Islam. I feel like his kicks and ground game will be a big test for Islam, and he's probably going to be huge plus money to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like his kicks and ground game will be a big test for Islam, and he's probably going to be huge plus money to win. I literally came here to post about what a terrible fight I think this is because I believe there is essentially zero chance for RDA in this one. IMO this is a clear duck for my man Benny Dariush, but I don't blame him. RDA has lost 4 of his last 6 (primarily by being grappled) and even Kevin Lee was looking good in the wrestling prior to gassing iirc. Islam is arguably a better wrestler than all of those opponents (there are arguments for Usman/Colby maybe, but I still think I'm taking Islam). I imagine taking this fight means this will be the last or second to last fight in RDA's UFC career =( because he will be 2-5 in his last 7 and already has gone up in weight. I like RDA and I don't think he will be a complete pushover, but I see no path to victory for him. Even his striking is most effective in close range (dirty boxing/clinch) which is a spot he won't want to be vs Islam. He's not a rangy enough striker to give him a chance on the feet, IMO. The money line is a fair point and you may have value here if it gets outrageous, but I certainly don't feel confident about an upset.

I feel like RDA is gonna be like +300 and it's really going to tempt me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I actually had a sentence about how I felt like islam was like -200 in my mind, but I deleted it. I think if it gets to +300, I might be tempted myself =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it ends in similar fashion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 This would be cool. Would have to go head to head against college football at that time frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
