Countdown to Demetrious Johnson vs Ali Bagautinov

Demetrious Johnson is the best fighter the UFC has. He should be the one Dana and the MMA media should be harping on about artistry in the cage and being on another level, and history in the making, not Jones and Rousey.

Ali Bagautinov is a worthy challenger but I don't see him beating Mighty Mouse at this time. He's just too quick and too skilled. I don't even think the fight will go the distance. Even if Ali survives the early rounds, I see MM stopping him in the later rounds. Ali's a 4.5 to 1 underdog though so there's money to be made if you really believe in him.

Not buying into the hype of the week if that is what you are getting at. I have been saying that he is the best ever since I have seen him shooting for double leg takedowns on the opposite side of the cage that his opponent is on. Also his ability to fight at a high pace for twenty five minutes and still do aerial hurricane kicks immediately afterwards is another reason.

No, I'm not saying you're buying into any hype. Might Mouse is a great fighter.

I'm just taking Ali B in this one. I've seen all the available web vids of his Russian MMA fights, Combat Sambo, & his professional boxing match. This kid is goood everywhere. He's been holding back & fighting conservatively in America. He's got nothing to lose this weekend.

I'm taking Ali as the underdog. What can we wager Hamilcar???

hope ali takes the belt

I'm game, bud, but I have no idea what we are gonna wager. Your call.

This fight is tough to call. Ali has strong grappling and big power but Demetrious is one of the most well rounded fighters in the sport and already the greatest Flyweight of all time. Speed, wrestling, strong defensively, varied striking attack, newfound power.

This might be the best technical fight we'll see all year.
