Paid Members Egg Shen 2,355 Posted April 7 Paid Members Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) 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: Edited April 7 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members wandshogun09 7,781 Posted April 8 Paid Members Report Share Posted April 8 He seems a nice enough guy but Phil Davis being the shape of a Toblerone always unsettled me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimufctna24 1,614 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 (edited) 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. Edited April 8 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Egg Shen 2,355 Posted April 8 Author Paid Members Report Share Posted April 8 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members Egg Shen 2,355 Posted Tuesday at 08:42 PM Author Paid Members Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:42 PM A rematch between Raymond Daniels & Peter Stanonik has been added to this. You may remember the rematch ending after arguably the most horrific low blow in MMA history. Great card this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
