Adesanya talks about his right titty. He has no idea what it is, just got it tested today. Passed 32 drug tests in the ufc
Wants to fight again this year. Hints there is something being talked about. This is interesting because Cannonier is fighting Whittaker. Who else at MW? I wonder if they think they can get the LHW belt?

Great, great card. I watched the whole thing and happy as with the last finish as it coincided with the Kick off lol.
Obviously “the KO” was a highlight but so many great performances on this card and from the outset. Probably the best over all event in a couple of years. Cant remember a disappointing fight.

Your picks for the main events?
I think Gaethje & Cannonier
I'll be cheering for Whittaker but picking Cannonier. He's looking good as a MW
It's probably crazy picking against Khabib but Gaethje looked incredible last time. I'm not sure if Khabib will get a chance to take this to the ground

@Duluth it’s usually when a fighter loses someone close to them that they start to go off the rails. Khabib could be different. He looked drained after the cut though.
Gaethje looked amazing against El Cucuy. No one looks amazing against Ferguson.
It’s a hard one to pick. I’ll go Justin.
I’ve never really rated Bobby Knuckles that highly. He earned his belt but I don’t think he’s elite. He’s all heart and I think it’s that which gets him over the line in his fights. Cannonier is a monster from LHW that looks amazing after the cut to MW. He’s going to eat Whittaker.

In the most stacked division Khabib sits atop, no one who can beat him. Line Tony up immediately please.*
Whittaker looked sharp. Totally over estimated Cannonier.
*I didn’t see the post fight until now. So he retired dammit. Good for him. Bad for the sport.

Fair play!Lightweight will be interesting if a little hollow now.

I enjoy DC when he’s calling the fights and the technical aspects especially. But the high pitched laugh talking he does. Usually during some kind of inside joke or something we should find funny, but don’t. Is fucking annoying. He started it with Joe Rogan during the the last big event in the states and hasn’t stopped.

Does anyone else feel like Khabib isn’t the pfp?
I’ll explain. I think he fought dos Anjos at full strength in his prime. Pourier in his prime. Gaethje in his prime.
Conor was under done and full of himself. Still dangerous but not the proposition he was vs Aldo.
Iaquinta was underdone on short notice.
Barboza is dangerous but not elite and he was in the slide.
Johnson was on the slide.
And then it’s a bit of a struggle from there to reckon any names of note.
He needed to fight Tony and then he needed to go up to Welterweight. Fights against Nate Diaz, Usman and Masvidal even Covington would have been huge.
Khabib is probably a fighter that could have been the GOAT but I think what he left in the table is more than what he left with.

@raznomore
Ultimately it's subjective. Khabib ticks a lot of boxes for people (dominant wins, undefeated, good public image etc.) but he only has 3 title defences and only fought in one division. GSP has a couple of losses (both of which he avenged) but 9 belt defences undefeated and belts in 2 divisions. Jon Jones has 8 then 3 but lost the title twice due to criminal then doping offences, however of the 3 is the only one still active and may improve his standing with a heavyweight title. In other words, Khabib is the safe choice but with time his record might be looked at more critically (especially if the guys he beat are shown to be overrated). -
Really good card with up & comers and guys coming back from injury / loss of form.
Great contests and some super finishes.
Hall did well. Patient.
