Thank you! I've been a fan of Zane and Connor (and before them, Connor and Patrick) for years and years. Those guys and the old Sherdog roundtables hosted by Jack and/or TJ and featuring Jordan Breen are the standard I try to live up to - at least in terms of preparation; I know Keith and I get a little goofier than they usually do/did.

Depends on the size of the Octagon. Anything smaller than a regulation American football field and I'm going with "no."

He could run miles around that Octagon

Ulberg has learned on the job. He needs experience and cage time but keeps lighting dudes up. Eugene Bareman was trying to get him to throw his cross but he didn't have the confidence. The one time he threw it, he dropped Jung. I think he'll have another hiccup or two, but he might be a future champion.

@ 1:20:00 tapology shows hooper as 5-3 in UFC, not 7-3. If you include his DWCS, 6-3. Despite this small error, the point still stands. 5-3 is a lot of UFC experience.

Nice catch. I'll have to amend my notes on him.

Lot of tightly contested bouts. Shout out my underdog if it hits. Charles Johnson: One of the most talented and athletically gifted flyweights on the roster. When he puts it together and shows up with the right mentality there's not many guys that can beat him, probably no one can beat him in a 5 rounder as shown when he fought Brandon Royval, he was breaking him in the 3rd round. He is his own worst enemy, so if the Charles Johnson with low output on the feet and lazily giving up takedowns shows up Jake Hadley is winning a split decision with his boxing and sub attempts on the ground. If not Charles should embarass him and send that inbred goblin back packing to the UK and out of the UFC. Goff: Love his pressure, tenacity, grit. Trey Waters's durability is not going to hold up for long at 170, seeing a guy like Goff who pushes an endless pace and infamous for upsets, I highly recommend taking a stab on him asap, just got him at +123 and the lines only closing in Hooper: He's cooked on the feet but his tall wiry build could really help him drag Slava Claus down with like an upper body BJJ takedown and tap him out Caceres: Crafty unorthodox vet that can't be replicated, I don't even think he knows what he's doing in his fights half the time, he just uses his experience to adapt and go with the flow but sometimes to his own detriment. He could do what Julian Erosa did and catch a sub on Woodsen late in a scramble, I still like Woodsen to stick to his game and outbox him CDF: Easy Underdog. I don't see how Rebecki wins, CDF is impossible to hold down scrambles like a cat in a bath. Striking and power very underrated. I have loved this guy since he upset Mairbek Taisumov in Abu Dhabi, over 90 degrees and just put a beating on him on the feet. Mixes up his combinations and kicks in weird angles with a high volume. Don't think the calf kicks are going to be a problem for him as CDF constantly switches stances Alonzo: Has shown to be a very underrated grappler, has become more cerebral on the feet as far as defense goes but still raw and stiff. Hits like a truck though so if he catches Ulberg its gonna be brutal especially if its out of the 1st round. Unfortunately, I do think he gets caught first Ulberg's just too accurate.

@sherdog

Ай бұрын

Love the takes here, Bob. Johnson is definitely better than his record in the UFC so far, or maybe it would be more accurate to say that he's clearly capable of more than he's shown. Goff: full co-sign. Keith and I both picked him to spring the slight upset. Hooper, it's almost a coin flip. I picked Slava, but if Hooper can get him down, especially early in the fight before he's too beat up, Borshchev is borscht. Caceres is a live dog too, for some of the same reasons as Hooper. CDF, I would have agreed with you wholeheartedly three years ago, but that incredible tenacity and slipperiness on the ground just seemed to evaporate during the Dariush-Gillespie-Gamrot losing streak. If that was due to those three just being that good on the ground, and Rebecki isn't up to the same task, Ferreira becomes a much more intriguing underdog (and as I said on the show, I would love to be wrong here).

44:20 Goff was in a car accident. Based on an interview with korean John and AllStarMMA youtube channel. I think there was other ailments as well. Dont remember the exact quotes of the interview.
