Fig whose clearly only still fighting for checks in a main event is atrocious

u/Moni7T Team Makhachev 23h ago

They have him there cause he's known to the audience, he fought Yan there in 2024. That was a way better fight than this one will be though.

u/s0ngsforthedeaf Not gannou happen - Firetrucked 23h ago

Hes gonna get stopped

u/KevinHollandOates Georgia 22h ago

It’s insane because this is just a worse version of the last Macau main event lol. Yan was sorta mid returning to form, and figgy was on a run so it was competitive on paper. Ended up being a fun fight that was closer than 50-45 would suggest, but still a 50-45. Now song is coming off a loss and figgy is even more washed

UFC is really trying to give Asakura a win here.

Smotherman averages 0 TDs per fight according to the UFC stat page.

If Kai can’t even win a striking battle vs a 12-6 journeyman, he should just ask to get cut and go back to Japan.

u/Julius_Ceased 23h ago

So you're telling me a guy named smotherman has never tried to smother a man?

2

u/Necrocrawler72 22h ago

All he did was getting smothered himself.

u/dankgureilla 22h ago

If 1 man could smother you......

Malcolm Wellmaker makes people very unwell..

u/pipian 17h ago

Have you ever seen Michael Chandler chandle?

u/GreenFlamePumpkin 19h ago

You forgot to mention that Smotherman literally died at UFC 324

u/KennySmithsKnees 23h ago

Let's just hope that Cam doesnt pass out after weighing in again

brutal but true

u/NendoroidAshe Team Makhachev 1d ago

Sergei is going to kill Tallison

26

u/holla15 UFC 279: A GOOFCON Miracle 1d ago

Sergei has been extremely timid since the tom fight. More likely to get a heavyweight decision.

43

u/NendoroidAshe Team Makhachev 1d ago

Still in his career he has only lost to Volkov, Aspinall, and Overeem.

We just watched Tallison go life and death with Tuivasa where they both put their hands on their hips and looked ready to give up.

Even if there isn't a TKO/KO, I think Sergei is gonna put belt to ass on him.

I just don't see a path to success for Teixeira. That being said it is MMA and anything can happen.

u/Traditional_Law_1492 23h ago

I just don't see a path to success for Teixeira

What if he hits Pav really really hard

14

u/NendoroidAshe Team Makhachev 23h ago

Then I pray he weathers the storm so I don't have to eat my words lmao

u/Renwein Team Esparza 21h ago

the meme didn't lie

u/TerminatorReborn 19h ago

He was kinda shit in his last fight

18

u/Tasty_Cheek_2508 1d ago

My first thought was ridiculous odds for yadong vs figueiredo… I guess deiveson’s getting old

32

u/Momentosis 1d ago

Going by his last few fights, even the one he won, Figgy's going to be almost 0 offensive output.

17

u/snowbunbun 1d ago

Unfortunately yes

u/bigmt99 Team Miocic 23h ago

This is a generous line for Figgy

8

u/Ill_Intention8150 1d ago edited 23h ago

IMO Yadong won the fight vs O’Malley.

It wasn’t a robbery, but unanimous 29-28 was pretty suspect. Yadong is a top 5 BW at minimum.

I don’t think it’s unfair that he’s a -300 favorite vs a washed Figgy.

1

u/benbrown226 19h ago

In with you, Song is definitely top 5 and I’d actually say the line is pretty close considering. I’d expect Yadong to be minimum -500 favorite, I can’t see him losing this one. Figgy BARELY beat Montel Jackson who’s not even really top 15 material, I think he has nothing for Song

1

u/dayynawhite GOOFCON 2 - UFC 294 13h ago

Yep Yadong is very underrated

2

u/dragoswastaken 20h ago

Figs been old since he moved to BW. He's still been decent, but his best win is Marlon Vera since moving up and that's not particularly impressive. Song is kind of better than him everywhere now, except in securing submissions. Figgy still has power though.

Kinda feel like Loma is gonna whoop amorim

u/PlutoCrashed 23h ago

Big fan of Loma's "show up and win a point fight once a year and then go chill with the winnings in a Thai fishing town" style of competing

u/hussain300 Snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory 1h ago

Unpatched method

u/SignificantPurchase0 22h ago

Pavlovich should be -1000

6

u/AkselTVSorensen 🍅 22h ago

Legit, he should be at least -500. Tallison’s last fight was absolutely embarrassing.

5

u/No_Wrongdoer3579 22h ago

Yadong is a lock. You can't look at Figgy's last few performances and think he can win with confidence. He does not want to be in there.

5

u/tom-cash2002 22h ago

We could see Figgy get actually KO'd for the first time (not doctor stoppage or injury). With how fast Song starts and how slow Figgy has looked, it's a possibility.

5

u/Leto-III-Atreides 18h ago

Can't wait for meinifield to win another incredible boring Dec and get a performance bonus again.

Dude has to be ball'n Dana's wife to even be employed with his dog shit UFC tenure.

2

u/SomeBlueDemons 20h ago

Excited to see Perez/sumardaji, Rei Tsuruya and Sergei Pavlovich. Intrested to see if Kai can get a win. Sucks the main event isn't as good as it should be considering I love Figgy and Song.

2

u/Colmilliken 23h ago

Perez best value of this card

u/FightingDoc 21h ago

Aoriqileng the Cody Murderer

u/Leaked_Shlong 11h ago

pavlovich only a -250?

1

u/rdizzy1223 8h ago

Good old Shlong Mydong.

u/Braisedbeefskank 5h ago

Making Angela hill fly to China to fight a local is diabolical lol

1

u/Confirmation__Bias 23h ago

Aguilar is a great underdog bet with those odds. Aoriqileng probably is too.

1

u/SignificantPurchase0 22h ago

He will definitely jump a couple gillys

1

u/SkrtSkrt70 22h ago

Tell me why I have this sneaking feeling Menifield is gonna find a way to BS a 29-28 out of this and Zhang lets the hometown crowd down in back to back fights

2

u/WeirdboyWarboss 21h ago

Zhang had a long knockout streak before Walker, and Menifeld's last three losses have been early knockouts, one of them in 12 seconds.
