UFC 288: Aljamain Sterling vs. Henry Cejudo fighters picks

[@lonewolfMBI]

Since Brandon Shaub said Aljo wins, I'm gonna have to pick Henry to win.

Really? I might also change my prediction in that case and chose Henry because i was also picking Aljo to win.

I was already think Cejudo is taking it, but now that Mighty Mouse says it, i'm even more confident he will win. Mighty Mouse can analyze this sport like few.

Mighty Mouse has been training with Cejudo too... aint no way Aljo is putting up a tougher fight than DJ. I got my rent on Henry

@@LastbutNotFirst we will see who is the casual this saturday, i am not even fan of Aljo but i recognize him being legit champ

[@lPL4Y3R.0N3l]

If henry hasnt fallen off he should comfortably win this fight. The only thing that will keep Aljo in the fight is his physicality, but it wont last. I also feel like if Henry hurts him at all on the feet he will not let him get out of the round. Henry is a very good finisher. I just don't see anywhere aljo wins this fight

[@patricknez7258]

Solid analysis imo

[@lPL4Y3R.0N3l]

@@patricknez7258 only thing I see is maybe calf kicks if Henry's heavy on that front leg still. Similar to what Marlon did

[@yeyo6521]

Sterling is long & has range. Even Petr Yan ate alot to get in, not as easy as it sound on the feet + Sterling has unorthodox striking (legs to set up strikes & takedowns). If anything after that Patchy Mix fight i'm scared. Sterlings knee can meet Cejudo's head at will

[@solstice5767]

What I got from MM: "knowing what they need to do in the midst of battle and executing it at the right time". IMO, Cejudo has more discipline and experience, but you never know. Perhaps Aljo has enough athleticism and technique to compensate for that.

[@MikeySkywalker]

I always wonder how people like you know who is more disciplined. Do you know Henry and Aljo? Do you train with them? You can analyse their fighting, but to comment on shit you can't possibly know about is so weird.

Very smart of Cejudo if he gets this done because Sterling and Suga are both big for 135 so if he could beat them it’s good practice for going up another weight. Sterling looks like a 145er. I’d like to see Sterling and Ortega Grapple.

From Henry's constant beat up face during fight camp my bet is that he's game plan is a stand up game with heavy striking and spralling,

[@cincinatus90]

Listen to Aljo at the end of the video, that's what cemented Henry as my pick to win this fight. Listen to Aljo talk about his own wrestling skill and how he truly believes he is on the same level as Cejudo. He's facing an Olympic gold medalist and doesn't think there's a space between them. He is delusional and it will cost him the fight. Getem Henry!
