UFC Fight Night 133: Dos Santos vs. Ivanov
July 14, 2018
Boise, Idaho

Main Card:
Junior Dos Santos (18-5-0) vs. Blagoy Ivanov (16-1-0)
Dennis Bermudez (16-8-0) vs. Rick Glenn (20-5-1)
Zak Ottow (16-5-0) vs. Sage Northcutt (10-2-0)
Randy Brown (10-2-0) vs. Niko Price (11-1-0)
Chad Mendes (17-4-0) vs. Myles Jury (17-2-0)

It is hard for me to go against JDS but I have to pick Blagoy here.  I think he is the more well rounded of the two.  I think a lot of people will be shocked and impressed with his debut.  I hope I'm right on this one.

I wouldn't be surprised. JDS has proven his striking defense isn't good and he hasn't looked good in years. JDS could win but I wouldn't be surprised if Ivanov won in dominate fashion. I hope he wins as he would be great as a UFC title contender and I don't want to have to hear about bullshit "Octagon Jitters". I do agree that it's hard to go against JDS cause you never know as he has one punch power but we'll see.

I agree. I don't want to hear about Octagon Jitters either, LOL. If he finishes JDS it would be even better.

JDS just basically out boxed Blagoy the entire fight. I thought Blagoy would get JDS against the cage more in a clinch where I felt he would win the fight. He did that only once for a short time. That's where I felt he was better rounded for this fight but it didn't happen.

Sage was impressive this time out. He had a nice finish win on this card.
