Buckrock101 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 UFC london is looking amazing. all the top british prospects getting on this card it seems. only thing is I hate the Allen-Hooker fight. don't get me wrong, it's an amazing matchup. but I'm from New Zealand and have roots near Suffolk, where Allen's from, so I'm a huge fan of both of them. silently hoping this fight falls through so I don't need to watch one of them lose.

I cannot wait for that fight, i think Olives takes him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he doesn't want to regardless of what happens in that fight. tbh I hope Bobby Knuckles beats Izzy to humble him even more but who knows what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Knuckles is my favorite fighter, I hope we're both right. I don't either but if he fights someone like Jiri and lays on him the whole time like he did Woodley, I could see him winning something like that but taking someone down that big is harder for sure. I can totally see Bobby Knuckles taking him down similarly to how Jan did. Izzy suddenly didn't learn how to grapple or wrestle. Didn't happen. When Izzy leans backwards to avoid a shot and leaves his hips stationary, if Bobby is smart he'll shoot and keep Izzy down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunson is probably the best wrestler at Middleweight and he couldn't get Izzy down. Jan B was able to lay on him but he was also like 25+ pounds bigger. Whittaker should definitely mix in the wrestling this time around, I just don't think he can keep him down like Jan did. Im hoping for a better fight this time around, but I just think Adesanya is a bad matchup for Bobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan saw a weakness that left Izzy's hips exposed. Brunson and Vettori kept shooting for takedowns in the clinch. It's much easier to defend those takedowns from the clinch rather than leaning backwards trying to avoid punches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Bader stinks......I thought he lost last night, but regardless, he would get abused by the majority of the heavyweights on the UFC roster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
