Topic: UFC 234: Whittaker vs Gastelum Prediction and Info Thread - page 2. (Read 220 times)
As for the main event, Robert Whitaker have shown that he has the balls to fight the best in his division (including two against Yoel), but I wonder why Dana White has pass Weidman though, or maybe the winner will fight Chris next. Robert is the champ so we may call his great fighter for achieving that.
Hope you are not following Chris Weidman and his fights, after loosing his belt to Luke Rockhold he lost against Yoel Romero, Gegard Mousasi and Ronaldo Souza and you think that Dana White did not give him the title fight 
you have to win fights and earn the shot, by that theory Artem "The Goat" Lobov should fight for the title every time he steps inside the cage. 
Yeah I know, Anderson is cocky as well but he has the tools to back it up, until that Weidman fight, Lol. I watched Israel against Derek Brunson, he has the talent as I have said it reminds me of Silva himself, but he still needs to learn a lot if he wanted to stay long and be a champion.
Israel Adesanya might be a new kid in the UFC but he is a really experienced fighter who has more than 100 kick boxing and boxing fights under him , his striking is on another level as well as the timing and movement, his ground skills are to be seen as he never faced a great wrestler yet, he got a good defense but that is to be seen if he will be tested in the ground. 
More vids... You guys should watch the tapes (I like saying 'tapes', makes it sound old school. Lol) of their past fights and study them. It could help with your bets. And if not, then the vids could get you more interested in the event. 
So exciteeeed for Adesanya and Silva to throw leather!!!

Anderson should retire, reckon. He has nothing to bring and show in the octagon anymore. He is old.
@Travelmug. However, Anderson was also cocky. Watch his fight versus Chris Weidman hehehe.

First of all thank you for all of these amazing topics with links and all that, it is great help and sometimes even reminder.
I can't believe Anderson Silva is still fighting, he is 43 years old for Christ sake, nobody should fight until they are that old, it must be really bad for your body. He is not even that good anymore, he only won 1 fight out of his last 6, one of them was actually a decision to him but he tested positive for some stuff but in the end he is really too old for this.

Just like any other fighters who gets old, they wanted to fight because they wanted to prove they still have it, and wanted to stay relevant in the fighting business. But as you have, he's no longer that Anderson we know specially after he was caught with peds in his system.
I doubt he can continue with this for too long, hasn't he made enough money to just retire? Why is he punishing his body at this age? About the title fight, it looks as if both guys are not really anything special, they are not bad fighters for sure but they are not great neither, it will most probably be another boring title fight until we get some exciting one.

There's no doubt that Whittaker will be the huge favorite here. But this is a interesting and compelling matches. Robert as I remember broke his arms against the Romero fight so it will be a huge factor in this fight, this the hands heal already? This fight is still 50/50 specially that Gastelum doesn't need to cut weight which is one of his biggest obstacles. I wouldn't be surprised if Gastelum pull a surprise here.
I think Whittaker will win by late stoppage. No disrespect to Gastelum but Robert has fought one the best in that division, not only once but twice against Yoel Romero. He is in the zone right now and can be seen as unbeatable.
Hmm, we can't easily underestimate Gastelum. He prove to us that he is also not a weak fighter that's why he now have a shot to become a new champion. Remember, he knocked out Michael Bisping . Smells a fight woth full of surprises. (Honestly, I got surprised with his winning counter that time)Interesting to see Adesanya vs Silva. Israel is like a copy cat of a young Anderson, but Israel is very cocky. So let's see how Anderson will perform against this prospect.
When it comes to the style of of knocking out their opponents, I'll go with Silva. For me he is like a child playing with his yoys every time he fights because I can't even see the stress in his face, just chilling. However, he is now old so you can't blame me if I doubt him for beating Adesanya. 
Anderson should retire, reckon. He has nothing to bring and show in the octagon anymore. He is old.
I definitely agree that Anderson should retire at this point. He is already past his prime and there's no need to damage his reputation by fighting again. He don't need to proved anything and he is no longer relevant as new and upcoming fighters are rising. He is just being used as stepping stone.
