Hail Sabin Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 So who's on the Marlon Moraes Hype Train with Me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 This has all the makings of unfolding like Almeida vs. Garbrandt a couple years ago where it's suppose to be the crowning moment for one prospect and the other prospect comes through in a big way. People might be underestimating Jimmie Rivera, especially since he has went several months between his last two bouts (September 2016 to July 2017 to now).

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Jarred Brooks gave himself a Dick Murdoch/Shinya Hashimoto brainbuster and handed Shorty Torres a KO win in his UFC debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 After rough first rounds (really rough in the case of Nathaniel Wood), both of the touted prospects on the Fight Pass prelims get second round finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I think Tibau's long tenure with the UFC is about to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Sam Alvey is your average 80s Midwest territory prelim midcard babyface. Verne Gagne would've loved him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Arce is a very solid prospect at featherweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'm guessing that's it for Ellenberger in the UFC seeing as he is 1-5 in his last six fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 That was a super impressive outing from Arce. I hadn't seen much of the older Teymur bro but he made him look largely ineffectual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The hype video for Dos Anjos-Covington really made me want to see that fight, which of course was the whole point. Another example of MMA doing pro wrestling better than pro wrestling. Covington is an amazing heel and Dos Anjos came off like a super babyface who is going to put a repulsive snot nosed punk in his place. It was just so great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Gillespie's ceiling is extremely highly. Credit to Anik for bringing up having to wrestle against a murderer's row like Dake, Phil Taylor, and Jordan Burroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
