Manila Card:
Magny v. Huge Guy Lim
Mousasi v. Costa
Mousasi should kill Costa where ever the fight plays out I think. I'm thinking that one will be completely unplayable.
I hate the Magny/Lim fight. I like Neil a lot but Lim is a really bad match up for him. And calling Neil a MW is fairly off base. Lim is a completely massive WW, likely the biggest thinking about it. But Neil is very thin. He's probably not cutting from much more than 185.
Mousasi will be about -300 or -400 here.
Probably will play the sub or decision prop. I
Costa left Serra Longo mid 2013 - he is under the Bellmore Kickboxing banner now (so yeah with Menace Bermudez and LaFlare who are also at Bellmore and Long Island MMA - not been with Bombsquad in a while as far as im aware) - allegedly not at Serra Longo due to Weidman. Costa doesnt really train with LaFlare much tho, LaFlare and Bermudez have actually been at Blackzilians training recentlyLaFlare isn't exactly a great wrestler. Effective but not that good. Maia will expose this at a later date but back on topic. Plus Costa is at Serra Longo while LaFlare is at Bombsquad unless I missed something.
I hate the "Well fighter X trains with fighter Y so his skill Z should be great" mentality. It seldom works. Carlos Condit trains with GSP. He should have a great sprawl right?
