This commentating team is rough
Is tonight the night we see Blaydes do an intelligently timed takedown or is he getting chinned off some bad fight IQ?
Relevant HW main event, good caliber MW comain, some og names, plenty of good matchups. Solid fight night overall.
Blaydes is gonna get ran through tonight
earlier event so we can watch Davis x Garcia after 🙏
This card low key looks great on paper – can’t wait for a long night of unanimous decisions!
Nickal is going Suga Sean,Ian Garry path is he not?
All touts picking Semelsberger because “Wells might get tired”
I’m glad heavyweights never miss weight lol
Everytime I make the mistake of clicking link for weigh-in vid, I get depressed — nothing worse than seeing a dude feeling like he’s dying try to smile for cameras.
I think its a necessary evil given our present tech & market forces, but being the least bad option doesn’t mean it isn’t bad.
Now that Cachoeira’s fight is off, they’ll hopefully cut her.
Cut Cachoeira and don’t let her fight take place. 5lbs overweight smh
Course Karol Rosa is moving up to 145 yay…..
I seriously hope one Nunes retires in 2-3 years they just close the division. Women’s batamweight is already stagnant as is. UFC doesnt need the few batamweight prospects and up and coming fighters moving up to 145 to get a title shot (against the same person) faster……
Bobby Green one of the few unranked guys that I want to watch regardless of who he is fighting. Pretty sure I could watch him box a tomato can and still be entertained.
Even if its a complete mismatch either way, you know Bobby going to be trash talking, taunting, pointing out when he blocks punches, and firing off slick combos.
Not always easy to take in interview room, and I’m willing to bet frustrating as hell to fight if you can’t catch him, but always an entertaining watch for me.
Tank or Ryan?
War rani Yaya
It’s funny that the good Tafa and the bad Usman are fighting
Pavlovich is just a jacked white boy. Deal with it.
I’m convinced Pavlovich is a better version of Ngannou
I feel like Pavlovich has this one
Am I the only one surprised Junior Tafa weighs more than Usman? Mo Usman is built like a brick shithouse and from the pictures I’ve seen Junior seemed a lot slimmer than his brother Justin
Am I crazy or are the odds for Tafa higher than expected against Usman? I’m aware neither are their brothers but even then I can’t see Usman winning.
Rip Blaydes
Sergei vs. Blaydes might be the biggest (in terms of mass) HW fight of the year. If I’m not mistaken, both guys are at or very close to the 265 limit usually.
