Cody is still young, but can he recover from this? The guy doesn't fight smart.

Man idk tbh. He's even expressed some mental issues after the TJ losses in a few interviews i've seen. He's young but I mean if he wants to keep winning, at some point he has to realize that swinging for the fences doesn't always work...especially when both guys are wearing 4oz gloves. It's also the best way to shorten your career.

(#6|+230|$3.3x|3/10)

Robbie Lawler < Ben Askren
(#0|-250|$1.4x|7/10)


Lawler can finish this fight with strikes. He has decent TDD and possesses an accurate straight left.
Askren is known for his Olympic level wrestling and is expected to outgrapple Lawler. Chain wrestling will be integral.

Prediction: Askren by DEC.

___

Result: Askren by TSUB at 3:20 of R1.

I got Askren by dec too, but if Robbie does win its gonna be him finishing Askren by ko/tko cuz he couldn't get any wrestling going. But yh I feel he'll have to chain wrestle to get Robbie down too...the td won't come easy.

[johnmangala]

Holy **** what a slam by Lawler. That almost finished Askren!

Askren is hurt bad.

[johnmangala]

Insane comeback!

Askren wins by technical submission. Bulldog choke.

Apparently Lawler wasn't out. I am not sure yet.

[WarMMA]

Wow. Horrible ending man. That was turning out to be such a great fight. Lawler almost finished him...that could have easily been stopped when Lawler was landing those bombs from top. One thing I can say though, Askren can take a freaking beating man wow.

(c|-160|$1.6x|6/10)

Tyron Woodley > Kamaru Usman
(#2|+150|$2.5x|4/10)


Woodley has a piston like straight right and has great offensive and defensive grappling. Very well rounded and known to circle often to pull in his opponent and dictate location.
Usman's best chance is his wrestling base and cage grappling. However, Usman has good conditioning, improved striking and will look to mix.

Prediction: Woodley by R4 TKO.

___

Result: Usman by DEC (50-44)
