UFC 186 (4/25): DJ vs Horiguchi

[Cammo101]

I agree DJ couldn't grapple with Soa at all. He'd have to land a couple weak strikes while running for 25 minutes (and hope the judges come through for him). I think DJ getting his hand knocked off is the likely outcome.

Surely Soa won't be making the 125 pound limit to make this a title fight. I imagine he'd only have to avoid the big punch for 15 minutes.

No, but it's the main event on a Fox Sports card. 285 pound catchweight.

Are there any UFC LWs or WWs you would not favour over DJ?

Would probably take DJ over Brendan O'Reilly.

Soa is insanely strong, DJ wouldn't be able to try and take him down because he'd just get manhandled. He'd need to stay outside and just jump in and out with shots, hope to not get caught and let Soa gas. Outside of that he gets killed. I dunno how you stay outside a 17 inch reach advantage though.

DJ attempting to take down SOA would be a huge mistake. Not only would DJ not be able to do it, he'd probably just get smashed Travis Browne/Barnett style while DJ is hanging onto a leg.

[Cammo101]

I'd imagine DJ would stay on the outside and try to Dominick Cruz his way to a decision.

He couldn't reach Soa's head to punch him.

[REDDzone]

Listening to John Makdessi on mmahour. I had no idea he and his brother were behind fear the fighter (now notorious for not paying fighters). He is trying to say he isn't sure if he is the president of the company or not. What a joke. Pay the fighters nutjob.

[cowboyronnie]

-Soa would just grab him and then murder.

-Ironically, you couldn't pay most people to wear a shirt with a slogan as douchey as "Fear The Fighter".

I scored it for Laprise, but it could have easily gone the other way.

[REDDzone]

Is the rest of the card worth watching? I couldn't get through the co-main.

Nothing particularly exciting really.

[Marcus]

nobody impressed with Thomas Almeida?

i find myself hating the fans at a DJ fight more often than not. The guy is masterful and the boos still rain down. so frustrating.
