GDT: UFC on ABC: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov/PFL 7

[Tobias Kahun]

Nurmagomedov doesn't look comfortable with his striking, allowing Sandhagen to get to better on the feet.

He looks nervous.

 

[Taytro]

He looks nervous.

Wonder if he did legitimately hurt his ankle on that slip and he's not as comfortable transfering weight through it... Or this is just too big of a stage for him right now.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

3-0 cory.

I dont think Umar's takedowns should add up to anything.

I think he looked nervous before that slip.

Even if he loses here, hes got such a good group around him that he'll be in good hands.

 

[Taytro]

3-0 cory.

I dont think Umar's takedowns should add up to anything.

The pop up tweets are saying 29-28 Umar through 3. I have it 29-28 just because they've been so close that it's easy to see a judge giving at least 1 to Umar.

I wonder if im seeing a different fight, I could see it 29-28 for cory, but not 29-28 umar.

His takedowns have added up to nothing.

I also think control shouldnt mean much, if you sit on top and do nothing, you shouldn't win the round because of it.

It's one of those fights where I don't know if anyone has done enough to win any round so far, so it's understandable that people are it differently. That being said, Umar has looked good in the 4th.

 

[Avs_19]

I have Umar up 39-37.

I actually think he has done a nice job with some of those counters. He's hitting Sandhagen.

 

[Taytro]

Live odds are -1800 for Umar and DC said that Sandhagen needs to go this round so... I guess go consensus is that Umar is winning.

 

[Avs_19]

Good technical fight. Still room for improvement for Umar for sure and I have questions about his striking (especially power) but he showed he belongs at this level.

 

[Taytro]

Umar clearly won 4/5 and I'm confident the judges gave him at least one (or more) of the first 3 rounds so, I'll say Umar unanimous decision.

 

[CDJ]

I had it 50-45 tbh. Closest 50-45 ever but still not a sweat on the judges card. Umar seems to have a good idea of what he needs to do to edge out rounds. Smart fighter.

Dumas/Gaziev/Fernandes/Alvarez parlay cashed

I ended up chickening out on placing a bet on Tony, glad I did lol- that retirement was even classic Tony.

Alvarez is an awesome fighter, just has to keep making weight

Murzakanov fights like he knows the KO is inevitable eventually. Doesn’t rush anything.

Figgy-Yan would be sick. Can’t believe the former 125er was the first to drop Chito. The violence gremlin is mega legit

I know it was Tony but Chiesa looked not washed

Guram is a dog

 

[LandfiII]

Not a bad evening. Enjoyed it enough.

 

[16Skippy]

I like Belal and everything but I have to admit the funniest part of the card was when they showed him in the audience and he barely got a cheer lol

 

[Sheppy]

Tony had a pretty charismatic post fight and loud reception from the audience. I might be in the minority but I want the UFC to give him a guaranteed win vs like Mike Jackson or something. Let him go out on a win and actually encourage him to retire.

There is no guaranteed win for Tony at this stage.

 

[I am not exposed]

There is no guaranteed win for Tony at this stage.

His UFC legacy is going to be the guy with the most losses in a row in the UFC ever. It feels a bit awkward especially as they probably put him in the hall of fame.

Anderson Silva finished his career 1-7-1, it tainted his GOAT status but that's not what he's known for. Just like Tony, it definitely sullies his reputation but he's a former TUF winner, (interim) champ, was tied with KHABIB for longest winning streak in the division for a bit.

The guy has real accolades and I think his legacy will represent that. The tail end is a foot note and not at all indicative of his competitive career.
