Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 7, 2021 Paid Members Posted April 7, 2021 Was slow on the uptake for 256, so i got 257 up earlier. 2 Grand Prix quarter finals on tap for this one: Main Card: Vadim Nemkov vs. Phil Davis Corey Anderson vs. Dovletdzan Yagshimuradov Veta Arteaga vs. Desiree Yanez Paul Daley vs. Sabah Homasi Prelims: Julia Budd vs. Dayana Silva Jay-Jay Wilson vs. Pedro Carvalho Viktor Nemkov vs. Karl Albrektsson Saul Rogers vs. Mads Burnell John De Jesus vs. Alfred Khashakyan Julius Anglickus vs. Gregory Millard Raymond Daniels vs. Peter Stanonik Steve Mowry vs. Shaun Asher Lance Gibson Jr. vs. Marcus Surin Grachik Bozinyan vs. Denarques Jackson More to be added to the prelim card id expect but i like that main card. Nemkov/Davis is a rematch from 2018, i dont recall the bout of the top of my head but Nemkov won it via split decision. Yagshinaradov is the wildcard of the whole thing. He was the ACA 205lb Champ and is riding a good win streak, i expect him to be a bit of a beast. Weirdly he opened as a favorite over Anderson when this was announced but that's switched now, Anderson is the betting favorite. Paul Daley has unretired too, which is nice.

The decision was fair imo. Nemkov won rounds 1 and 2, but got tired in round 3 and allowed Davis to take over. Nemkov reasoned in an interview recently that he gassed out because he committed to a slam in the second round and this drained his reserves. He says he's since learned to manage his gas tank more efficiently. Still, cardio is still the biggest question mark lingering over Nemkov and has been since his Rizin days. Davis' body isn't what it used to be at 36. He therefore doesn't grapple in fights as much as he used to. That bodes well for Nemkov, as I don't think Davis is likely to beat him in a straight striking battle. I'll be shitting myself on the night, but fuck it, Nemkov to win on points. This is easily my favourite MMA photo of recent times:

jimufctna24 Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Apologies in advance for the utter gibberish I will probably post on here at 5am should Nemkov win.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 7, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted April 7, 2021 feel free Jim, everyones allowed a mancrush.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted April 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted April 8, 2021 He seems a nice enough guy but Phil Davis being the shape of a Toblerone always unsettled me.
Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted April 8, 2021 I have never seen a built-up body like that where the traps are smaller than the delts. Looks like he has shoulder implants.
jimufctna24 Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Julius Anglickas is one of my boys. I assume he will be an alternate for the LHW GP should he beat Millard. As will the winner of Albrektsson vs Vadim's Brother.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 8, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted April 8, 2021 This card is pretty loaded througout the prelims. Im not sure what happpened to this weekends 256 card, they've neglected that one a bit.

I think the Saul Rogers vs. Mads Burnell fight was meant to be on either the 255 or 256 card, but was pushed back to this card for some reason. This card has also lost Romero vs Rumble and Pico, so it could have been even more stacked.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 13, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted April 13, 2021 A rematch between Raymond Daniels & Peter Stanonik has been added to this. You may remember the first fight ending after arguably the most horrific low blow in MMA history. Great card this.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 16, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted April 16, 2021 final prediction on this then? the co-main event i have no idea? Yagshimuradov is such a wild card i aint gonna make a prediction, those ACA guys are no joke though. I could see Davis winning the main event too (sorry Jim). The first fight a split decision over 3 rounds, those Championship rounds could make all the difference. Nemkov has never gone beyond 3 rounds and this will likely go long. I want Nemkov to win it though. The final lineup/running order, get on this one early, first couple of fights are quality.
