Who ever wins the Triple C v Aljo fight gonna move up and get that super fight vs Volk
Posted on 4/30/23 at 9:59 pm to StraightCashHomey21
I could see Cejudo doing, not Aljo.

I could actually see Aljo doing it too, he's not going to fight Merab and I think Merab wants a title shot.

O'Malley is still out there at 135 for either of those guys. Lots of folks want to see him get ragdolled like both of them can do.

Aljo already said that’s his plan to get a super fight

Volk would destroy Aljo

Aljo def wants to fight omalley. He talks about moving up but he also seemed a little worried about the current top guys in the 145 division.
If cejudo wins i also see him fighting onmalley next. He also expressed interest in fighting volk.
I know prelim headliner is supposed to be s great spot but i think drew dober should be on the main card. Who has had a more exciting 2 -3 years than drew dober in the cage? Id much rather see dober vs frevola than fricking kron gracie. Honestly rodriguez vs jandiroba will prob be more exciting thank kron gracie

O'Malley is a big money, big attention fight and they both know it. They also both know they would likely destroy O'Malley, who is still somewhat of a paper tiger and a product of the UFC hype machine.
Interestingly, Bryce Mitchell, who is also in this card, was also getting a similar push and then he was seemingly just buried by the company after his win over Barbosa. Very strange how that happened.

Burns is the man. Quick turn around, tough opponent but I like him here as the more dangerous finisher.
Excuse the random thought but Gilbert gave Khamzat all he could handle in one of the best fights in recent memory and judges gave Chimaev the UD. Sandhagen completely dominated Chito Vera a few weeks ago yet won by split decision. Judging is beyond suspect right now.

Will be interesting to see how Cejudo looks after so much time off.

I thought gilbert won the chimaev fight. I think belal wins this one.

Before that happens look for a Big $$ Fight with Suga Sean.

Bryce lost his last fight to a dude who is on a big streak. Can't remember the name but he ran through Bryce pretty easily.

topuria. I like bryce but I dont know how far he can go without better striking and probably working with a reputable gym with good training partners.

not bad odds on these two
aljamain by submission +410
cejudo by tko +400
kinda crazy as I would think the odds of aljamain submitting cejudo to be higher than cejudo KO'ing sterling.
I like both of these bets. sterling is alot better than people give him credit for and could easily latch on to cejudo and give him trouble on the ground. sterling is gonna have a significant height and reach advantage also. I could also see cejudo doing real damage on sterlings legs with kicks and being good enough to keep it standing and destroying the legs or wearing down aljo and getting the tko. I am very intrigued by this fight as I think both guys have super high fight IQ .
no prop bets out for anyone else yet on fan duel.

Big fan of his as well but I don’t think he’s that good honestly

nah he doesn't want to fight his boy who is the #1 contender

Only care about this card to see Kron fight since I’m close with a few of his Black Belts and have trained at his school in LA before his move to Montana. I’m sure Rickson and Nate will probably be working his corner as well and it’s always neat to see Rickson.
