UFC 328: Chimaev vs. Strickland | Newark

Taira is a -200 favorite. I was expecting him to be the underdog. Seems like Van and Cowboy are the only ones who think he really won the belt.
Well yes the man’s just came off destroying Brandon Moreno, the first man do to it actually, Van got destroyed by Charles Johnson and was rather fortunate to win the belt against an injured champ. Anything can happen over 5 rounds against a fit, younger fighter like Van, but I’m confident in Taira submitting him.

Now that I’ve said it though, I’ve probably jinxed myself now and Van will confidently defend his belt.
 
I wanted to ask, if Charles did not lose the first 2 rounds (because i thought it was a comeback KO)
But.. i thought.. "FHB your memory is SO BAD.. look at the scorecards first"
It's split across all 3 judges :D
2-0, 1-1, 0-2
Don’t take the judges side, they’re useless anyway so don’t take notice of that. I have to be honest I don’t really remember the fight. It’s unfair of me to mention it as Charles has proven to have good conditioning and obviously hits very hard cuz he did the exact same when behind against Loner Kavanagh. He did that before they knew about the power he was obviously hiding. Vans already done well since that loss, but I was just pointing out how he can be underdog in this fight and with what Taira done to Moreno, and the fact that he’s 18-1 with a high finishing rate is the reason. Nothing against Van. I was just pointing out why he’s +200 and I get it.

i really can't remember either.
I know, i said "fuck, Van is SO good" in every fight i can remember.
So i thought, i said this before Charles knocked him out.
No idea anymore.
But Van is the real deal, no matter how he won the belt and Taira is as well.
It's just such a clash of styles, that i don't know how beautiful the fight will be, but i am thrilled.

I will also be thrilled, when Pantoja comes back and i hope he wins the belt back, because he is a monster as well.
