UFC Vegas 105 “Weekend Rock”… What are you?

UFC Vegas 105 is less than 24 hours…

This weekend will be from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada (Saturday, April 5, 2025, April 5, 2025). No in the main event. The ultimate fighting championship (UFC) featherweight candidate of 8 rank, Josh Emmettreturning to octagon for the rapid increase in British stars, Lerown Murphy.

We have launched a new series called “Weekend Lock” on Mmamania.com. Here we share a bet that you feel you can slap in Sin City when the chaotic dust settles down. Also, I’d like to hear what readers think (it’s you!), so please tell me what UFC Vegas 105 bet lock you’re most confident in the comments section below (full UFC Vegas 105 odds here).

Just a little housekeeping before we move forward. Unfortunately, all the great things have to be finished, and when I chose, I suffered my first loss in this series at UFC Mexico City last weekend I drew it well Be defeated Manuel Torres. I got so cheeky that I chose the weak in the 50/50 battle (oops). And I was going to do it again (Davy Grant) This weekend; but his match Daniel Santos It was discarded during the official measuring early this afternoon (more on this) and needs to pivot.

We’ve been 3-1 so far, so let’s continue…

In the middle of the UFC Vegas 105 lineup, SmackDub is a battle between two Octagon veterans. Brad Tavares vs. Gerald Munchart. And perhaps the middleweight showdown is directed towards the judges’ scorecards. This is our “weekend rock” (-135).

Firstly, Tavares has not achieved an octagonal finish since 2018 and is now suspended. Krzysztof Jotko Via Technical Knockout (see here). It’s six years for the mathematics wizard between us. And it’s unlikely he’ll stop “GM3.” Khamzat Chimaev (see highlights) or Joe Pifer.

yes, Reinier de Ridder I kicked him out on his final outing, but it was a three-round meme fight.

Tavares is not a finisher, but the same cannot be said about Meerschaert, who holds the record for most finishes in the UFC 185 pound history (12). However, his way of finishing up his enemies depends on defeating them and strangle them. The problem is that Tavares has probably the best takedown defense at 185 pounds and has never been submitted in 30 fights.

So, what we have is two experienced cage fighters trying to cancel each other for all their intentions and purposes. Tavares cannot knock out “GM3” but Meerschaert cannot submit Hawaiians.

Someone on Twitter thinks it’s a little different – check out the following breakdown:

Grok Ai also added this:

The middleweight conflict between Brad Tavares and Gerald Meerschaert could end early due to contrasting styles and vulnerabilities. A submission specialist with 35 stoppage victories in his 37-18 career, Meerschaert boasts the most submitted victory in UFC middleweight history. His recent performances, including consecutive submissions, win Brian Barberana and Edmen Shabajan It highlights his ability to harness grappling opportunities in 2024, especially against scrambling enemies. If he could close the distance and drag Tavares to the mat – despite Tavares’ historically strong 80% takedown defense, showing signs of decline with age, but Meerschaert was able to lock the choke or armbar within the first two rounds.

On the contrary, Tavares, with a record of 20-10, is a good technical striker with endless aerobic exercise, but after three knockout losses since 2019, his jaw has become suspicious. Although Measschart is not a knockout artist, he can wobble Tavares early and get a finish if he catches him with a strike key king. Given Tavares’ recent 1-4 skids and Meerschaert’s tricks to find the finish, this fight could end abruptly if you misuse your opponent’s weakening or defensive lapse before the final bell.
