@trading_axe Don’t see a scenario where a 37 year old Gaethje who couldn’t finish Chandler or Fiziev manages to cleanly knock out Topuria (his only hope)…
Anyways, Khamzat by utter dominance every minute of every round
I don’t recommend you guys copy this,
It’s actually one of the silliest bets and the only way to actually profit is by max sizing.
If you lose, you lose it all.
There’s no salvaging any of it.
And if you win, it doesn’t even compare to the loss potential whatsoever.
But at the end of the day,
It’s one of the most confident bets I think I will ever be able to take in the UFC.
Pillow-hands hypersensitive Strickland vs High-T terrorist energy Chimaev.
Guys genuinely think:
What are some of the freest “THIS IS 100% A WIN” layups you’ve seen in the UFC?
When Khabib and McGregor fought,
We knew Khabib would win,
But I wasn’t supremely confident because McGregor was still ELITE and one of the best at the time.
When Topuria fights Gaethje, I still wouldn’t “all in” on Topuria,
Topuria will win, but Gaethje’s “still got it” just as good.
Chimaev vs Strickland?
I can’t 3D model a single scenario in my brain where Strickland does ANYTHING.
He’s going to get ragdolled badly.
It’s like sending a lamb straight to the slaughterhouse.
If Strickland had KO power, I would never do this.
Does Strickland have better endurance and could possibly outlast Chimaev with teep kicks and 1-2s?
MAYBE, if they were just strikers.
However Chimaev’s dominant grappling will be a long day for anyone trying to go the distance.
Btw the numbers are without commas because the provider did that change - idk why.

@straub_wally@GlobalWresOrder Great time to be a fan. Watched a lot these kids grow up seeing them excel on a national stage is a lot of fun! These kids all love to score
🚨GWO thoughts after the 2026 NCAA Tournament:
1. I predicted PSU would get 4 champs, and that’s exactly how many they got. (Very illogical for the fans to say they would get 6-10 champs but I digress.)
2. David Taylor supposedly is making $1Million to coach at OSU, but he’s probably underpaid! 2 years in a row they have completely stolen the show at NCAAs despite not winning the team title.
3. Large number of guys who seemed to be LOCKS to All American, but did not. I suspect many of them will be on the move in the portal.
4. I expect Bo Bassett to absolutely DEMOLISH the NCAA next year at 141lbs‼️ I could see him scoring bonus in every match.
5. Shoutout to IOWA Wrestling - after a disasterclass of a season, they walked away with 7 (!!!) All Americans. They deserve a lot of credit for that performance 🤝
6. Rough outing for Cornell, based on their history - I would expect them to bounce back next season 😳 Meyer Goat was incredible becoming a 3x All American with no redshirt 🐐
7. NC STATE Wolfpack back to back years with an NCAA Champion (2025 Robinson - 2026 Trumble)‼️🐺 Special things happening in Raleigh, NC
8. GABE ARNOLD IS A FUCKING LEGEND!!!!
@straub_wally@GlobalWresOrder Bo is something like 5-0 against Vega/Seidel they all grew up wrestling the same tourneys. “Demolish” is an accurate assessment
Everybody defending Jax getting the 1 seed is simply biased
He did not earn the 1 seed and now people will think it’s okay to only wrestle the 2nd half of the year
Yea I’ll just never understand oliveira disrespect, guy has only lost to Islam and illia plus a split decision vs arman in the last god knows how many years , literal pound for pounds and a number 1 contender with giga grappling/wrestling
It’s not uncommon for late August birthdays to hold off the first year they’re eligible for kindergarten. June/July birthdays do this too. The cutoff is technically a few days after his birthday so he could’ve started a year earlier but plenty of parents make this choice.
It’s not uncommon for high level wrestling talent to be held back a year in middle school for athletic development. You can argue it’s dumb or unfair but it’s incredibly common. His next opponent did the same exact thing. Many of the best kids in my area did it as well.
When you add both together it looks egregious but both decisions are reasonable and common practices. His August birthday exacerbates the issue. Kid gets a ton of hate for it when he’s not even a full year older than most of the other top seniors. Jaxon Joy is 21 didn’t hear much about his age after that one. I’m not even a Bo glazer I just think the whole age thing is overblown - everyone except Levi Haines does it
I hate this Jax should be in HS BS. No he shouldn’t. He’s 19 years old. A month older than Marcus Blaze. He should be a freshman (still impressive) in College (right where he is). Not a high schooler
March birthday turning 19? Sounds like he reclassed…
I’m not arguing for or against the practice just pointing out how common it is. Bo can’t control what month he was born. August birthday commonly the oldest in their class + 1 reclass same as Harer (and 50 other guys in this tournament)
@BrosandThrows@Mike_Litorus___ His finals opponent is also 19 already. Not arguing with you in theory but idk why Bo specifically gets so much hate when it’s pretty common for high level talent
@Mike_Litorus___ Not in HS when he turned 19 in August. Will be 2 months from 20 when he graduates. Shld be wrestling in college right now. To me the records he sets in HS are junk. He wrestled an extra year when he was 19 going on 20. Still a stud but the age thing is garbage
@lBattleRhino I remember it used to take at least a 3 point drop before everyone started sharing cintrini doom porn this market may never actually go down in a meaningful way again in my lifetime
I was bullish risk assets until citrini told me ai may cause rising unemployment and condense some sectors of the economy, hadn’t considered that, just sold everything I own
They acted like Merab vs Yan 2 was up for debate, DC loudly disagreeing with those scoring the fight for Yan after the first 3 rounds
Like Yan NEEDED the fifth round to win, that was a shut down performance for Yan. Anik spent all fight calling out blocked shots Merab "landed"
I just watched back UFC 323 #UFC323
THAT WAS THE WORST COMMENTARY JOB I HAVE EVER HEARD WHAT THE FUCK WERE ROGAN & DC WATCHING IN THE MAIN EVENT & YAPPING ABOUT DURING THE REST
No wonder I have a football stadium worth of people listening to my commentary instead
DISGRACEFUL
@SmithSmit8@THATBOYMMAGURU Again, the rules determine the winner and the UFC, as an entertainment company, can alter the rules/scoring to promote entertainment. The sport of wrestling has changed scoring rules to make it more entertaining. It’s within their power and necessary to save the sport
@cigenjoyor@THATBOYMMAGURU Again, main goal is to win not to entertain.
I think you want your son to be like Merhab and Islam not an "entertainer" like Poirier and Gaethje.
In sports, there are winners and losers.
Don't make Islam Makhachev vs Ilia Topuria
Makhachev would win and ruin the most entertaining fighter in the sport by laying on top on half guard for four minutes every single round
We can't let inbred freaks ruin every division #UFC322
@SmithSmit8@THATBOYMMAGURU I’m not even a JDM fan and fully expected that result so, cool? Just wish I didn’t waste my time watching it… If you love watching dudes lay on dudes by all means I just don’t get why people defend this type of “fight” so hard. Technically impressive? Sure. Entertaining? No
I watch/have done a lot of grappling and most forms have mechanisms to prevent sitting on top of your opponent or at minimum don’t heavily reward it i.e. stalling/no points just for sitting in half guard etc.
“Just stop the takedown” yeah ok well the issue is Islam is an ELITE takedown artist. I give Islam his props he uses a formula the rules allow for and is elite. Funny enough if they continuously stood them up I still think Islam would be elite as he is a highly skilled striker/could easily take a guy like JDM down again. Islam winning isn’t the issue but the rules allowing him to win in the manner he did is. It’s not entertaining and he’s not really trying to finish/strike/progress because he can win on position alone. Ain’t nobody tryna watch that
@cigenjoyor@THATBOYMMAGURU watch ju jitsu/grappling..seems you are unfamiliar with that art. Islam is more so establishing grappling dominance when the fight is taken to the ground. Also fighters have 5 rounds?? Maybe stone walling the take down would prevent the supposed half guard stalling.
