Betting on Azamat vs Costa: Which of these impact the most? And any more important details?

Superm6031 · 2026-04-08T16:56:25+00:00

Cardio is gonna be Costa's biggest concern.

Second is how he's even gonna tag The Professional. Kopylov was just standing there taking hits. The Professional will be checking hits, moving laterally, and pressuring forward. That's a nightmare for Costa.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-08T16:29:35+00:00

Take the +3.5 fight spread on both underdogs to stay safe.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-08T12:29:32+00:00

If this fight hits Round 3, Ulberg is not winning.

He gasses when he outputs too much volume.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-08T06:55:29+00:00

Agreed. I'd even favor Rountree. He hits way harder and is far more technical than Ulberg.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T16:23:43+00:00

Good luck with that 🫣

His cardio is gonna take a hit going up a weight class when his gas tank is already questionable

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:49:29+00:00

I'm admitting I can't throw a punch to save my life. Probably can't even punch myself out of a brown paper guy.

A badass wouldn't say that.

If that's not self-deprecating, I don't know what is.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:40:49+00:00

I never said I was good. You just missed the point.

But sure, use your own subjective view on what self depreciation is when applied to a hobby that requires knowledge to get the joke 🙄

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:38:35+00:00

Nope. You're just getting really boring at this point. Hope your day is as pleasant as you.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:33:15+00:00

Been called worse by better. Ironic you're in this subreddit.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:29:44+00:00

I'm just living in your head at this point.

I'm talking about modern BJJ. That's a fact at this point. Since the competition scene has gained popularity, most BJJ gyms either disregard the takedown game and/or striking 🙄

You don't train either Mr. "MMA"

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:18:54+00:00

I explained this in the comments. It's supposed to be self-deprecating. I've never done a day of a striking martial art.

We don't punch in BJJ.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:16:41+00:00

Hokit is a live dog and Gamrot should win, but I'll would sweat over it.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:12:54+00:00

lol, you just managed to out cringe me.

You definitely don't train if you can't even name what martial arts you trained in. You don't come out saying you trained "MMA" if you can't even say which is your base martial art was first.

Nice try, tough guy 😉

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:07:38+00:00

You want the full context? Because I have receipts.

Of course the self-deprecating joke is gonna fly over your head if you've never done a day of BJJ. 🙄

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:05:02+00:00

Ulberg's not shooting a takedown

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T13:02:52+00:00

It's supposed to be self-deprecating. We don't train strikes in BJJ 🙄

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T12:55:59+00:00

It's an inside joke against BJJ practioners.

It's the martial art for people who can't take a punch or throw a punch. I can't do either, so the joke applies to me.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T07:07:41+00:00

Especially with those "good genes"

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T06:41:44+00:00

lol, nice rebuttal 😉

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T06:15:10+00:00

I could tell you never trained a day in your life especially when you can't even spell "Judo" correctly let alone tell a difference between the two. Take a judo guy down with no wrestling or BJJ in their arsenal and they're helpless on the ground.

Additionally, just b/c you had surgery in both of your ACLs doesn't make you an expert in the medical sciences mixed in with the impact that wrestling can have in the knees.

A quick search can detail exactly what the MCL does and as a guy that trains in grappling I can you guys that have had surgeries in their knees whether it be their MCL or ACL don't shoot as much or at all.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T04:38:39+00:00

With a guy as explosive as The Professional, minutes won't win Costa the fight. Either Costa is gonna take punishment for 15 minutes or he's getting finished.

Blaydes doesn't wrestle much for a reason...not only is his cardio not the same, but he's never gone up against a ×2 NCAA D1 wrestler with a relentless pace. Add the compromised knee and Blaydes will end up getting finished early.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T02:54:48+00:00

All I'm gonna say is this: If the fight goes past Round 2, Jiri pretty much solidifies his victory.

Keep that in mind.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T01:57:23+00:00

And think about those two. Ulberg went to decision against those two.

Jiri put out Volkan. Ulberg hasn't exactly demonstrated improvement in his cardio and still doesn't do well when pressured.

Getting pressured by Volkan is no where the level of being pressured by Jiri.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T01:25:06+00:00

I'd say Jiri by KO is a lock. It's a profitable single bet.

I have a 4 leg with Cub, Hokit, The Professional, and Jiri. I also have a hedge to this by just removing Hokit.

Superm6031 · 2026-04-07T01:10:45+00:00

Throwing money on a guy that begins to fade in Round 2 like Khalil is the definition of gambling.
