UFC on FOX 19: Teixeira vs. Evans - Page 2

Yea I'm prob reaching a bit too far in osp and rashad comparisons.

For me, wasn't mainly that rashad was a bit afraid to get hit. More that he just didn't seem to have any confidence in his timing and couldn't let his hands go. And at his age, it's more often an actual development as opposed to a one time thing. Bader is a bit quicker than Glover and does feint a lot more tho which maybe threw shad off so I guess we'll see right away how comfortable he is

Rose line cratered, she look bad at weigh ins or something?

Both Rose and Tecia looked good at weigh-ins.

Still at school. Feel free to tell me who won each fight and why. Any updates are appreciated. Gonna miss the first 5 fights.

Dos Santos > Akhmedov via 3rd round KO - Good fight, cardio and chin were the main differences, lotta bombs were winged

Ferreira > Bamgbose - As expected, Bamgbose dropped him and almost finished him in the 1st but because he couldn't do it and then got taken down, he gassed and then was basically worthless and couldn't throw anything decent without getting taking down again. Instead of actually trying to finish it Ferreira stayed in guard and just pitter-pattered him to death for a decision.

I'm not surprised the line on Rose vs Tecia crashed, odds were pretty wide for a competitive 115 WMMA fight between two girls who probably won't finish each other (maybe Rose gets a finish but it's not super likely)

Dodson over Manny in 2 seconds. Cut off the cage, landed a straight left that rocked Manny and then landed about 30 bombs in 3 seconds. Wow. Easiest fight in UFC history.

Bangbus ruined several DK teams. What a bitch.

Crap why didn't they put those fights on the TV card
Weak

Graves > Brown via round 2 RnC

Missed the first couple minutes.

Wrestling and a very solid top game vs a pretty crafty but green-looking guard from Brown. Nice win for Graves.

Someone on bovada slamming court mcgee. Dropped from -165 to under -130 in 1 minute (ponz)

Yah same. He's one of the most explosive single-strike hitters I've ever seen but has zero actual technique or ground game and he's had a while to show improvement and I see pretty much none. Shame.

Almost home. Gonna be home just after Court/Ponz is over.

Dam ponz throws some hard clean strikes. Yea buddy, that line drop had me worried

Yah, excellent performance. He's been getting better and better. Super impressed with his composure, TDD, and strikes breaking out of the clinch to go along with his power and leg kicks.

He's great. No shame in his loss to Lorenz Larkin. He's got top-5 potential.

Yea very nasty powerful non telegraphed leg kicks

Fading corriea pretty hard here

Seems kinda close, bethe up 2?

Very close, I think I give it to rocky

Congrats. That was a total toss-up. I'd probably have scored it a draw if I was a judge. There's no legit argument to make for one or the other clearly winning it. It was so close.

Beth vs. Pennington was a fun fight. I expected Beth to use her new wrestling skills offensively, not just defensively.

Anyway, on to the real fights.

My DraftKings teams.

1. Dodson, Graves, Swanson, Teixeira, Santos
2. Bamgbose, Dodson, Horcher, Teixeira, Santos
3. Bamgbose, Dodson, Graves, Ponzinibbio, Torres
4. Correia, Graves, Nurmagomedov, Teixeira, Santos
5. Dariush, Graves, Namajunas, Ponzinibbio, Teixeira
6. Bamgbose, Graves, Ponzinibbio, Teixeira, Santos
7. Bamgbose, Dodson, Evans, McGee, Santos
8. Bamgbose, Evans, Graves, Nurmagomedov, Santos
9. Bamgbose, Gamburyan, Nurmagomedov, Ponzinibbio, Swanson

Michael Chiesa gets your back and it is absolutely over. I've never seen anyone even come close to getting out and Beneil Dariush is one of top BJJ guys in MMA. That's incredible.

Hes one of those guys who can beat a ton of guys that are way better than him but can also lose to bad matchups - a wrestle-boxer w/ good cardio like Michael Johnson would smash him.

Total wild card.
