Solid as a Rock Fighting Championship: May Madness

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the UFC bound fighters from Denver's "Team Elevation" these past months. The only caveat is we don't get to see much because all their fights have all ended in the 1st round.

That could be about to change with Bennett vs Faletagoai.
At first blush this fight has the look of a barn burner.
Faletagoai is undefeated, Bennett is 23 secs from being undefeated.
Both train at quality facilities with quality people.
However upon closer examination, Faletagoai's flawless record looks a bit anemic as only one opponent had a winning record.
I give the nod to Mr Alaska, he has fought better people and he trains at high elevation, which should pay dividends if this fight goes the 5 round distance.
Bennett by Decision.

Paxton vs Graff - You have to admire the resilience of Graff. His last three fights have been 1st round defeats, once to Kunneman and twice to Bennett. Now he's fighting perhaps the toughest of the three fighters from Denver in Logan "Warverine" Paxton, a Division 1 wrestler who has three 1st round finishes in his short career. The only victory that went the distance was against a Olympic Wrestler!
I see a barrage of elbows and knees and Paxton wining by a round 1 - TKO.

McAfee vs Martin - Of the two Martin has been much more active and if the old adage is true "The best to prepare for competition is to compete" then it's Martin by Decision.

Stegall over Miller
Mumford over Soler
McCleskey over Cowell

I see Kunneman vs Simpson has been added to the card. 

With age and momentum is on his side, Kunneman stays undefeated with another 1st round finish, this time by submission.

This is going to be great. Bennett by decision.

Faletagoai vs. Bennett
Benjamin Bennett, TKO, R3
If Bennett is gonna fight in Alaska, at least he is fighting the best comp available. Hes not an insane prospect but I am a big fan of his, would love to see him in ufc

Simpson vs. Kunneman
Jonathan Kunneman, SUB, R1
Kunneman comes from some wrestling background. He trains at team elevation and has looked pretty good thus far
