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

Pereira -
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

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

Interesting. I’d assume Whitaker would lose to Pereira in a similar vein as he lost to Izzy.
I do get what you mean though, the old ‘styles make fights’ adage

Yeah and there's a lot of questions about Pereira. They rushed him because they knew he matched up well with Adesanya. How good is his gas tank when he's in a clinch battle? Can he work his way back to his feet etc
Who knows? Maybe he KO's everyone else and it doesn't matter

Yeah fair call. Just cos fighter A beat fighter B and fighter B beat fighter C doesn’t guarantee that fighter A beats fighter C.
Pereira just seems to have similar strengths to Izzy ( more so I would have thought before todays fight )
Joe Rogan and the gang certainly talked him up as a huge challenge but then again this is hardly unusual for them.
