big poppa pump Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I'm just wondering if I would prefer Islam to win the title by ground n pound, like he did last night, or if I would rather see him submit Oliviera? I think I want a little of both!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that Islam won't let that happen. I can see takedown, mount, ground n pound, transition to rear naked....but that's why it's a fight...we will see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most people seem to think Olives is the toughest matchup because of his BJJ, in reality, it's just thinking that he will be able to survive the round, right? Do we really expect a triangle/sweep from bottom, like these Dagestanis have never seen a high level BJJ player? Olives needs to keep it standing like every other person does if he wants to win.

agarcia34 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Really looking forward to the main event on Saturday. Big fight for Masvidal. Got the breaks beat out of him his last two fights. How much longer can he live off the Askren and Diaz fight. Feels like a win is very much needed for him. Main card got some really good fights on it as well. Holland/Oliveira gonna be a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least he’s the biggest threat to Islam on the ground and that’s exciting regardless of if you think it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Islam pushes him to the fence and CO jumps a guillotine or something stupid and ends up getting Felder'd again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 50/50 right now just because there really isn't any other options that make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooker was ranked higher but RDA at least has some ground game but he’ll be ragdolled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
