That was good to see. I did not expect Maia to win tonight but in hindsight Maia does well against primary strikers.

Yh I mean I expected him to get the finish if he got his back. That's the last place you want Maia to be cuz not many can survive too long with Maia on their back. But Lyman also kept backing up and thats exactly where Maia wants you, with your back to the fence. His wrestling is strong there.

I am surprised Moicano is the favorite against Aldo tonight. Moicano is on the way up but 3 round Aldo is undefeated in the UFC.

That said, I think Moicano wins by decision. Moicano should keep range and outland Aldo.

I would like to see Aldo face Pettis next, I feel he matches up much better against him.

Amazing! Aldo is still going strong after all these years.

I have been getting it wrong all night so far but seeing Aldo win is always a happy time.

Did not see Moicano getting finished tonight.

Yh man...Aldo still got it. Dang so far you've been wrong with all your predictions. Please bet against Moraes so he can win lol.

Re: UFC on ESPN+ 2: Assunção v Moraes 2

0-4 so far.

That makes me nervous in picking who I pick next- I don't believe in jynxs but I have been on a bad streak tonight.

I think Moraes continues his streak tho tonight and will win by finish. I don't know if it's by his signature lead head kick, but I think he gets it done.

Assunção if he wins probably wins by decision. I feel for him as Assunção is probably one of the most underrated fighters around. I don't feel he gets enough respect but he definitely gets a title shot if he wins tonight, same for Moraes.

He's got enough to win except for a title. Get another win and decide what he wants for his last fight. Go out with a win or take a chance and fight for the belt.

Moraes with the finish!

Great win for Moraes. I did not expect him to sub Assunção, especially in R1.

Can't believe Moraes finished Assuncao in the first round. Cejudo and TJ is most likely next but Moraes deserves a title shot.

Yeah Moraes broke into that next level with that win. He’s officially an elite UFC fighter, among the best p4p in the world. I’d favor him over TJ, for sure. I’d say Moraes is the best in the world right now at 135, quite comfortably. Obviously he has to actually fight TJ to prove it, but that could be a year or more the way the UFC operates. When it does happen though, Moraes will snatch that W. I’ll call it now.

Walker is also, IMO, the best 205er on earth rn. It’s not just his athleticism, KO power, and explosiveness (which are all unmatched at 205). It’s his technique, creativity, crisp movement. Dude gets in this super low stance, lands a hook kick, then spins with a backfist and knocks him down, and lands “god mode” GnP (the kind of punches you don’t see much in MMA, where they go from ceiling to mat with explosive power). He’s a FORCE, and as a complete MMA nerd, I can say with the utmost confidence he annihilates anyone at 205 until he gets to Jones or DC. I even think he destroys Gus, quite easily in fact. I think his offensive attack just penetrates right through Gus’ defensive guard.
