The #UFC276 card is undoubtedly stacked tonight with a slew of big names and a few veterans trying to go out on their sword. In all, this should feature a ton of exciting matchups and different #MMA styles.

I think @stylebender wins this, but the matchup is tougher than his fights against Costa, and maybe even Whitaker. The mistake that others have made when trying to use #wrestling against #Izzy is they focus on the takedown aspect. To beat him, top pressure and control are key. #Cannonier has wrestling skills, but I don’t think he has the ability to hold him down.

After the #MainEvent I like the #underdogs on much of the #MainCard. I think #Holloway is too good to beat three times, and thought he won the last fight. I think his volume wins it for him. I think the #Strickland fight plays out much like Izzy’s; he’ll get some takedowns, but his penchant for staying on the feet gets away from him here. This fight was a literal tossup, but I think the former K1 Kickboxer gets it. I think Munoz is too physical for O’Malley, but can’t make a mistake against the dangerous young fighter. I stand at 155-95 for the year.
