Borgata Grille - GayBred - Andrei’s kryptonite are heavy handed KO artists. His entire career, he’s been dismantled by heavy hitters. This is not a good look for him.
Way too early to call Tai a KO artist when his resume consists of two undersized winless fighters in the UFC, a few nobodies in Australia and a 5-2 Australian boxing record.
A KO tomorrow would be a good step in that direction though.
So coz he hasn’t kod a named fighter he isn’t a ko artist?

It’s increasingly difficult to KO guys at a higher level. They have better fundamentals, defence and footwork. Mark Hunt is a proven KO artist because of WHO he has KO’d. Up until this point Tai has shown it against lower level fighters but it is possible he can do it at this level, just not confirmed yet.
I will be rooting for Andrei and Rashad. I hate seeing the UFC try and build fighters by giving them legends on the tail end of their career. I understand why they do it I just wish they were a little more respectful of those guys and we got more Vitor vs Machida type matches between aging legends.
If we the Arlovski that keeps his distance and uses his head movement, it’s possible. Hell it would be nice to see him at least try and use a little of the Sambo skills he came up with.
I know nothing about Tui’s cardio. The problem of course is Arlo’s chin, as even if that big boy is complete gassed in the 3rd, he could knock Andrei into the living death.
I quite like Overrem over Blaydes too. Another older fighter coming in as an underdog that should win.
I have a semi-classic parlay with Holly as the lock, Oliviera as a sort-of lock, and Arlovski. Something like +700 on Bodog... Arlovski was +200ish all by himself, which are great odds as far as I'm concerned. If Arlovski dances for 3 rounds I think the odds are even, so +200 is not bad... +700 is a bit hard to pass by, depending on how you see/saw Oliviera.
Arlovski is one of my all time favorites, hope can get a win

Holly as the lock? In 2018?
Against the right fighter, yep. Locks aren't always world beaters. Sometimes they're just better versions of their opponent.
