Agreed. I think the Shalorous line is mispriced.

Assuncao and Shalorus look like the best bets.

I don't know, I'm rooting for Shalorus (he fights outta Austin and that's where I live)

But he’s never really shown anything but big right hands and an iron jaw. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes out there to brawl, and if he does I think he gets out pointed. Provided of course that he can stay away from the wrecking ball right hand.

Provided that Varner can stay away from the right hands that is.

Shalorus doesn’t really have big punching power. He swings for the fences with every punches but he doesn’t put his weight into them so they end up as just really powerful arm punches.

Shalorus is one of the most elite wrestlers currently in the sport.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a takedown-centric gameplan from him, and I can’t see Varner stuffing the takedown or threatening from the bottom. Shalorus UD.

It would be smart, I don't know how he's gonna perform against somene as good as Varner.

It’s a big step up in comp for him, on paper I guess he should be able to go out there and take Varner down and beat on him maybe even submit him. People without losses fuck up my picks, you just don’t know what to expect.

Ride the Tiger!
