My expectations for UFC 252 tomorrow

Miocic-DC 3: Stipe will find a win despite himself in a fight that is just as entertaining and dumb as the first 2 were.

Chito Vera vs O’Malley: O’Malley wins the first 7-8 minutes, possibly even knocking Chito down early but Chito rallies and wins the last minute or so of the 2nd and takes the 3rd outright. O’Malley wins a UD that is seen as controversial by people who either hate his hype or love Chito.

JDS-Rozenstruik: JDS is basically in his late career Fedor stage. No jab, no set-ups, just SWANGING that right hand over the top. I see a late stoppage for Rozenstruik if he doesn’t get KOed throwing naked leg kicks.

Dodson-Dvalishvilli: this is one of my favorite style match up: crafty counter punching vet with elite TDD vs cardio machine wrestling wrecking ball. I think Merab is going to give Dodson the type of fight he needs to win and win big, but Dodson is getting old. If he get Merab out of these in the first, I wonder if he just shuts off for the rest of the fight and loses his workrate. Still taking Dodson.

Burns-Pineda: I think Pineda is the first dude to get signed off back to back no-contest wins but desperate times I guess. I honestly don’t have a read on this one cause I haven’t watched any film on either guy. Picking Burns because I think Pineda will engage for too long in grappling exchanges with him.

Stipe Miocic takes the UD over Daniel Cormier.

From what I could tell, the plan from the AKA camp was to slow down the fight and stop DC from reaching for Miocic’s hands to take away the bodyshots and keep DC in the fight late. Problem being, DC doesn’t win slow paced kickboxing matches with longer opponents. Unfortunately, DC’s eye closed via a combo os right hands over the shoulder and an eye poke in the third round. For Stipe, the plan was to crowd DC to take away the right hand when DC was trying to throw off the break and to move around more. For whatever reason, Stipe stopped going to the body after round 2 which was infuriating. Still, it was enough for him to hold on to the decision. And DC walks away from the sport.

DC deciding to turn down the volume and aggression in an effort to have more gas down the stretch? But DC isn’t going to win a low volume kickboxing match from range against someone like Stipe.

And we get an eye poke.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik KOs Junior Dos Santos in the 2nd round!

JDS gets stopped backing up along the fence yet again! Sometimes, you just never learn. All in all good fight between the two big boys. Rozenstruik game in prepared for the JDS jab. Trigger leg kicks whenever he threw that jab or when he tried to throw that winging overhand right from lowered stance. Rozenstruik was able to string enough strikes together to put JDS’ back to the cage and catch him with a pair of hooks that rocked him. JDS drops, gets back up and gets immediately dropped again. Great performance from Rozenstruik.
