RNMKR Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hello, I'd like to share picks and analysis for the UFC 214 fights ( you guys seem a lot smarter than sherdog and what not ). Personally, in the 3 Title Fights I am picking DC, Maia and Cyborg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 What is the reason by picking DC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Those picks seem questionable. Especially DC lol. Maia too, he's got a good shot but I think Woodley has enough wrestling pedigree to stop the TD enough and mash him up in the standup. Cyborg just wins against anyone though.

I thought the same about the Woodley thing, but if you realise how big Maia is for the weight class and how he took down Chael Sonnen, whom with all do respect to Woodley, has not necessarily better, but amazing and stronger wrestling (based on size alone) than him. That fact about taking down Chael was the nail in the coffin for me ( that Maia can take down Woodley ) and if Maia can take him down, Woodley is about as good off of his back as my little brother. Maia 1st or 2nd round sub. If Maia somehow can't take him down, then Woodley wins, whether it's by brutal KO or like Silva vs Maia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNMKR Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 What is the reason by picking DC? Their performances since then, can speak for a lot, but Jones has only fought once and it was after a long lay off so I'd like to do him justice. He is however, coming off another long lay off and if his striking is anywhere as stiff as it was against OSP then I believe DC, as he said himslelf, runs through him. I honestly believe Jones' best shot is on the ground, since that seems to be where he's improved the most and that seems to be where he's most comfortable now if you listen to some of his interviews after the Hendo grappling match. Also, DC's striking has improved drastically, not necessarily in the pure skill of it itself, but his ability to close the distance ( his main disadvantage against Jones / what he needs most against him ) and his dirty boxing. In the Gustaffson fight, he did a fucking amazing job at closing the distance and unveiled these slickk uppercuts in the clinch that were busting Gus up and troubling him and I honestly believe that ( the ability to close the distance and uppercuts / dirty boxing in the clinch ) is what caps it off for him.

MasterLeader Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Maia will not take Woodley down - so your points are invalid. I'm going Jones, Woodley, Cyborg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I feel like If Maia takes down Woodley, and he might actually get a few tds in the course of the fight, Woodley should be able to keep him at bay and stave off any submission attempts or anything too serious. If anything Woodley loses one debateable round to Maia on account of a late TD and being controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Woodley loses one debateable round to Maia on account of a late TD and being controlled. Well maybe he will not even take him down but it could be similar to Mia and Fitch fight.

stpierrecanada Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm super excited for this card, the whole thing is stacked. I'm torn on the Jones/Cormier and Maia/Woodley although I'm leaning towards the favorites(Woodley & Jones). Cyborg should score no later that a 2nd round KO and I feel Lawler hits to hard for Cerrone's style for 3 full rounds, Lawler 3rd Rd TKO.

Rambo Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Woodley could curl Chael Sonnen. I don't have a lot of faith in Maia getting him to the ground. I don't like Woodley, but the only thing I dislike more than Woodley are brazilians... and while Maia generally gets a pass, he's brazilian, so I gotta root for the American. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
