chupecabre - These are both terrible fighters. Lobov should take it.How the fuck is avalia terrible?
Ryan and artem had been training together before their fight, if it wasn't for that Id imagine Ryan woulda tapped him.
artem has the most one dimensional game, keeps Hands down and does the slip and counter with his T. rex arms. It drives me crazy watching him get the best of fighters and them unable to adjust.
Dashabox -stand and wangMorgz -
Artem is very predictable, yet still very fun to watch. Definition of stand a wang"Stand a wang" That is an erection isn't it?
I'd say, as long as Conor counts him as a friend Artem will win, win or lose.
Depends. Will Artem keep it flowy?
I have not seen Avila fight, and Lobov isn't great from what i have seen of him.
I like the team vs team. They should have added Shields vs Nelson to the card
On the MMA Hour Lobov said Avila had a dad bod. Helwani asked, what if he is a dad? Lobov responded, he's a Mexican from the 209, so you know. I look forward to Chris' response on Saturday.
pud12 -Lmfaoo @ that photoThe Principal - How Artem is still in the UFC, I have no idea.No idea? Really?
That kid no showed ariels show today
This fight will be so wild, the SBG - 209 feud is interesting, but technically it's awful.
dowthebow -I like doritosBojack Horseman -Artem couldn't give a shit what a bunch of cheeto fingered keyboard warriors think of him...DisIsDeRiddumOfDeNite - Artem is a terrible fighter.
Hopefully artem doesn't Google himself or follow the ug.
I'd imagine that might ding his confidence a bit.
Hope to see Artem win and stay in the UFC, always has one goal, to knock the other fighter out. Makes for exciting fights
El Toro _ Brocks Boxing Coach - That kid no showed ariels show todayWho cares? Fuck Ariel and his show, that weenie.
Artem will knock this fool out cold
Aikijiujitsu -Lol yes, like 8 years ago with a two weight class difference Nate tapped Ryan.Brabatross -Two pretty bad fighters. Ryan Hall couldn't tap Lobov, Avila isn't going to. Lobov by KO.
Nate Diaz tapped Ryan Hall in pure jiu jitsu so it's possible Nates protégé can tap Artem.
Aikijiujitsu -Also I don't know what Avilas ground work is like, but he could definitely tap Lobov... Lobov was smart versus Hall, in that when he got to a bad position he just stalled and defended, knowing if he tried to escape he'd have to open up, and get choked.Brabatross -Two pretty bad fighters. Ryan Hall couldn't tap Lobov, Avila isn't going to. Lobov by KO.
Nate Diaz tapped Ryan Hall in pure jiu jitsu so it's possible Nates protégé can tap Artem.
evidencee - I have not seen Avila fight, and Lobov isn't great from what i have seen of him.Shields is so boring he makes a Jon Fitch fight seem exciting
I like the team vs team. They should have added Shields vs Nelson to the card
I got Lobov based of experience and I haven't seen Avila fight
Artem is exciting as hell. He's green and wins his punches but he's a ton of fun.
I think this is a fun fight and plays right into the diaz vs McGregor saga.
Avila looks good but highly unproven. Artem can knock out a horse if he lands. Super strong guy. Considering skills and technique, I'm going with Avila.
