McGregor and Khabib will be in the mix.
Ortega and Stephens too.
Whittaker to beat Adesanya.
Thiago Santos to put Jon Jones' lights out please.
And lets see how Velasquez returns.
@MiketheSnow @Duluth @MajorRage Yeah if Cain comes back anything like his best he clears out the division. Then super fights Jones.
For me, Jones is probably their golden goose now. He can go between LHW and HW if he wants to.
I think Thug Rose has done great to get where she is but I just don't think she has enough in her game to stay at the top.
Adesanya is my favourite fighter right now but I'm still not sure he is "the" guy to stop Whittaker.
Woodley is about as charismatic as a piece of chewed gum. Unfortunately, he just doesn't have anyone who can go with him. Even if Covington were to get his shot there would be maybe one round of feeling each other out and then quickly finished in the 2nd or 3rd rounds by Woodley.
I too think Ferguson will Bruce Lee his way to taking Khabib's title. Then I think Khabib will walk off to Bellator or some mediocre Russian fight promotion. As good as he is, he does not fit the WWE persona they want in their fighters. Nor does he speak English well and as we have seen with so many Brazilian fighters, you have to be able to speak to get uncle Dana to give a shit about you.

Wow Cejudo by TKO, not many were picking that. He's looked great over the last 18 months.
If he fights TJ at 135 it's hard to complain if the UFC does kill the 125 division
I'm not sure I believe TJ when he claims that was an easy cut.. some of the pictures earlier in the week did not look healthy
Cowboy Cerrone looked the best he has in years. He called out McGregor after the fight.. that would be a good payday for Cerrone. Conor needs a win against a name and it would be an entertaining fight

From the old guys who made the fight to the old guy who announced the fight to the old guy who reffed the fight to the old guy who watched the fight, Cowboy we salute you

Dillishaw stopped too soon. He came back from worse twice against Garbrandt

Plenty of life in UFC old dogs.
Some great bouts this past weekend.

A few kiwis fighting this Sunday. Shane Young and Kai Kara-France are on the prelims.
Adesanya vs Anderson Silva is the co-main event
Then Aussie/Maori Whittaker defends the belt against Gastelum
Hopefully all the locals win and that sets up a Whittaker v Adesanya fight. That would have to happen in this region.. then there's a minuscule outside chance of a title fight being held in Auckland

@Duluth Anderson looks in very, very good shape. This is dangerous as shit for Israel but he should come through.
I think Whittaker loses the belt personally. There I said it.

Gastelum has a good chance with the speed of his power punch
I think Whittaker will hold the title though. I think he'll fight cautious until the championship rounds. I'm one of those people that questions Kelvins conditioning

Whittaker Goooonnneeeee!
Was taken to hospital with abdominal pain last night. Has a hernia.
Izzy is the main event.
Feel for Gastelum. It’s a long way to come to not fight.
What percentage of cards actually happen as originally announced these days? It feels like every single card loses at least one of the main fights.
-
Both of the Kiwis on the prelims win
I thought Kai Kara-France might have lost that decision. I think he just got edged in round 2 & 3, very close rounds though.
Great chin from Paiva, I can't remember anyone else taking clean strikes from Kai so easilyThe Young fight was entertaining. The UFC will push him.. they'll like his style

Good call. Israel won, but that was the best best Anderson has looked for a while.
Fun fight. This would have been a good card with one more fight..

Great fight.
Israel's toughest challenge to date.
