Either he wins and becomes the clear cut #1 contender after the rematch or a new 185 star is born.

He was my first thought, cant redo Brunson would be the most polite press conference lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) UFC - most of these wouldn't be close. Eblen probably beats Pereira if he can survive the shots and Mousasi grapple ****s Izzy but, outside of Cannonier-Tokov, the rest are walkovers.

beekay414 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Let's look at all the other divisions... Bantamweight Aljamain Sterling vs Sergio Pettis Sean O'Malley vs Raufen Stotts Petr Yan vs Patchy Mix Merab Dvalishvili vs Juan Archuleta Marlon Vera vs Magomed Magomedov Cory Sandhagen vs Danny Sabatello Rob Font vs Kyoji Horiguchi Dominick Cruz vs Leandro Higo Song Yadong vs James Gallagher Pedro Munhoz vs Enrique Barzola Ricky Simon vs Brett Johns BK's Verdict: UFC wins 8-3, pretty easily, but could easily be 11-0. Featherweight Alexander Volkanovski vs Patricio Pitbull Max Holloway vs Adam Borics Yair Rodriguez vs AJ McKee Brian Ortego vs Pedro Carvalho Arnold Allen vs Aaron Pico Josh Emmett vs Jeremy Kennedy Korean Zombie vs Mads Burnell Calvin Kattar vs Justin Gonzales Giga Chikadze vs Timur Khizriev Ilia Topuria vs Dan Weichel Movsar Evloev vs Lucas Brennan BK's Verdict: 11-0 UFC, maybe 10-1 if Pitbull catches a prayer or if McKee grapples Yair. Just unfair to Bellator here. Lightweight Islam Makhachev vs Usman Nurmagomedov Charles Oliveira vs Patricky Pitbull Dustin Poirier vs Tofiq Musayev Justin Gaethje vs Benson Henderson Beneil Dariush vs Alexander Shabliy Michael Chandler vs Sidney Outlaw Rafael Fiziev vs Brent Primus Mateusz Gamrot vs Islam Mamedov Rafael Dos Anjos vs AJ McKee Arman Tsarukyan vs Peter Queally Jalin Turner vs Gadzhi Rabadanov BK's Verdict: UFC washes Bellator, again, with their only hope being AJ McKee vs Rafael Dos Anjos or Benson grinding out a decision vs Gaethje. Welterweight Leon Edwards vs Yaroslav Amosov Kamaru Usman vs Logan Storley Colby Covington vs Michael "Venom" Page (lmao this would be glorious to watch) Khamzat Chimaev vs Jason Jackson Belal Muhammad vs Douglas Lima Gilbert Burns vs Goiti Yamauchi Stephen Thompson vs Andrey Koreshkov Geoff Neal vs Neiman Gracie Sean Brady vs Sabah Homasi Vicente Luque vs Kyle Crutchmer Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Jaleel Willis BK's Verdict: Edwards-Amosov and Belal-Lima are the only ones that may be toss-ups. Koreshkov isn't outpointing Wonderboy so that one kinda sucks. Neal-Gracie could be interesting. Think UFC wins 10-1 or 11-0. Light Heavyweight Jiri Prochazka vs Vadim Nemkov Glover Teixeira vs Corey Anderson Magomed Ankalaev vs Phil Davis Jan Blachowicz vs Ryan Bader Aleksandar Rakic vs Yoel Romero Anthony Smith vs Julius Anglickas Jamahal Hill vs Grant Neal Nikita Krylov vs Alex Polizzi Paul Craig vs Karl Moore Volkan Oezdemir vs Sullivan Casey Ryan Spann vs Karl Albrektsson BK's Verdict: This one gets fun. I could see Bellator getting close to taking this. Last 3 are toss-ups, Nemkov could potentially give Jiri problems but I'd pick Jiri, Romero is capable of beating Rakic and Bader could wrestle Jan (but he wouldn't because he has no fight IQ), so I'm gonna be nice to Bellator and say 6-5 UFC but it's probably really anywhere from 7-4 to 11-0. Heavyweight Francis Ngannou vs Ryan Bader Ciryl Gane vs Valentin Moldavsky Stipe Miocic vs Linton Vassell Sergei Pavlovich vs Fedor Emelianenko Curtis Blaydes vs Cheick Kongo Tai Tuivasa vs Steve Mowry Tom Aspinall vs Tim Johnson Derrick Lewis vs Marcelo Golm Alexander Volkov vs Daniel James Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs Tyrell Fortune Marcin Tybura vs Gokhan Saricam BK's Verdict: Well, they're heavyweights so prayers can and do happen. That being said, this is likely an absolute bloodbath for Bellator. Ngannou may go to jail for murdering Bader, Pavlovich vs Fedor's chin? Yeah okay. Blaydes would ride Kongo like a porn star. They may be able to steal Fortune vs Jairzinho but odds are Fortune gets sent to the shadow realm. Mowry would probably be the best chance for Bellator vs Tai. Just not an overall good look. 10-1 or 11-0 UFC depending on if Mowry can survive Tai's bombs and grapple him.

That being said, this is likely an absolute bloodbath for Bellator. Ngannou may go to jail for murdering Bader, I died laughing at the bold above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soggust Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 1 hour ago, JaguarCrazy2832 said: Chito v Sandhagen announced I don't know how that affects the division, but the fight itself is absolutely wonderful. Both incredibly high IQ fighters, and I LOVE Chito's front kicks, leg kicks and pressure in this fight. Cory can work really well side to side, so that favors him, but I just don't see Chito being matador'd all night long as good as he is. I think I would favor Chito -150ish if I was making odds, but I could completely change my mind tomorrow lol. I do wonder about the division. If Aljo fights Cejudo, who does the UFC have O'Malley face with Chito fight Sandman? CERTAINLY not Merab, right? Would they bench him until Late Summer / Fall '23 when the winner of Aljo/Cejudo is ready to fight again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsandBroncos Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Apparently he had a heart attack at work today. RIP Bonnar. Without him in TUF 1, I doubt the UFC is what it is today.
