McGregor better start dieting. Not sure how effective all those big beach muscles will be in a fight.

Islam is a massive favourite but fuck it I’ll pick Volk to win. His tdd will hold up, he’ll avoid the big shots early and his crazy cardio will wear Islam down. Volk KO in the 4th
Yair in the co-main
Most of the Aussies will win. The card seems skewed towards the home town fighters
Hope Young goes well. Two years since his last fight, four years since his last win. So plenty of pressure on him

I scored the main event 48-47 Islam.
The comments on strength were fascinating given what Islams LW opponents have said in the past. Eugene asked Volk in the corner if Islam was strong and he said no. After the fight Islam commented on how strong he thought Volk was. I was surprised at some of the reversal in positions in the clinch and the success Volk had fighting the hands.
Surely there must be a genuine LW who will do even better?
Yair looks amazing when he has a speed advantage
Jack Della Maddalena a future champ?
What was wrong with Pedro? He's looked very good since returning from injury but was off yesterday. Gassed after a moderate amount of grappling? Or an injury?

Adesanya, Hooker, Kara-France watching in the front row. They were confident it was 2-2 heading into the last

Edwards or Usman?
Usman dominated the last fight until “Headshot. Dead.” He should win this.. unless his ego makes him want to get into a striking fight. Edwards is trolling him into it.
I’m picking Edwards get the style of fight he wants. He works over the body/legs and doesn’t go headhunting
Fiziev to KO Gaethje

Promising start to Jack Shore’s career at 145. Result was as expected but he looked comfortable at that weight

Izzy draws him against the cage, let’s him get sloppy and KO’s him
Adesanya’s best finish. Better the Whittaker I
If Pereira continues fighting I want to see him up against someone who can wrestle. I understand why the rushed him but he needs to face every test if he is to stay near the top of the rankings
Pereira v Whittaker would be fun

@Duluth that was impressive alright.

Amazing Rope a Dope ( or maybe that should be Cage a Dope ) from Izzy. Those punches came from nowhere but amazing KO power that I haven’t seen from him before.
What an incredible finish from him. Great set up for a third UFC fight too, every fighter needs a trilogy !

It'll be interesting to see how that works out
Adesanya is one of the more active fighters and if he keeps his regular schedule he'll be fighting again in 3-4months. He wants to be active while he's at his peak so I can't imagine him waiting
Meanwhile AP will have a medical break after a KO like that. I think the usual amount of time the UFC doesn't want sparring is 10-12 weeks?
So they'll be out of sync. Izzy could lose in the meantime
Plus Whittaker has cleaned out the division of everyone except Izzy. He deserves a big fight. I think he is a really bad matchup for Periera

As in capable of beating him ?

Yes, RW is more well rounded. Whittaker's highlights are mostly striking but he has a wrestling base. He can test Pereira in other ways.
Adesanya is a kickboxer with good takedown defence. Pereira is a kickboxer whose fights in the UFC have basically been kickboxing fights
