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.

Duluth

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 easily

The Young fight was entertaining. The UFC will push him.. they'll like his style

@raznomore said in UFC:

Anderson looks in very, very good shape. This is dangerous as shit for Israel but he should come through.

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..

MiketheSnow

Great fight.

Israel's toughest challenge to date.

We'll talk about it tomorrow

Not often I see a fighter get body-slammed onto the back of his neck and take a jackhammer of fists to the melon, and still comeback to choke out his opponent and win. If that was boxing the ref would have stopped the fight after the third punch to the head, and he took a lot more than that.

Duluth

@Salacious-Crumb

Yeah plenty of refs would have stopped it.

I thought Askren was intelligently defending himself reasonably quickly. First going for the wrists, then attempting to change position

The actual stoppage was a disaster. There's images of Lawler giving a thumbs up after Herb grabbed his arm.

Usman was incredible

Smith was not

Cody is dumb

Walker's knee was spectacular

Gracie Breakdown:

JDS is an elite heavyweight and they need to stop treating him like a gatekeeper.

I used to be a massive fan of his especially around the time he made his Championship run. He, for whatever reason, was the guy that made me more of an MMA fan. He has the BJJ to fall back on but uses his boxing instead. I liked his back story, toy shop owner, and he was different in that he didn't have a trophy wife(far, far, so far from that...). Then he got Nike sponsorship and went a bit Hollywood. HAs the PED issue(although resolved) and dumped his poor mrs for a newer model.

Still he's a good guy and the UFC need to treat him like the HOF fighter he probably is. Title fight please.
