1. Title fights take priority over the main event
2. The main event doesn't have to be the fan favorite fight. Look at 300 with the BMF fight
3. Jose Aldo has one more fight on his contract. He may be coming out of retirement just to settle his contract
Jiri has never been decisioned and he hardly ever decisions anyone. He is kill or be killed. And he hasn't been finished many times... you need a really special person to finish him
Was Max faster? Hell yeah. Was he more game? Yes
But this is why I don't bet. No I never foresaw a spinning body kick dictating the entire fight as early as Round 1. I know that Gaethje is coming off a super cheeky headkick against DP who is a constant contender
I knew Max was 0-1 at LW and...
He also has unpolished striker but some weird fuck you power that shows up when people are clearly afraid of him.
I like him and I can't hate. I just don't get why:
- Slowest and most deliberate trajectory
- Not quite young
- Featured on 300 main card
Ufc seem to think he's the shit or some...
Context was everything. Max moving up and us all counting him out meant a lot. I think Gaethje was heavily diminished by that spinning back kick at the end of the first
Max was just so much faster than him. A lot of insiders chose Max to win. It's really hard to picture Max bodying Gaethje. And...
If you have an opportunity in life to go somewhere and make more money and success just do it
I can't blame Peireira at all. I'd blame Izzy though usually he's a jerk. The grown up thing to do is let kids be kids. Alex's son was very proud and happy for it. But Izzy being a dingus for being...
Arman better be careful
People might keep flipping him off. This could become a "thing". He doesn't want to pigeonhole himself into an embarrassing gimmick
Everyone plays to their nostalgia. Brock Lesnar is too damn old and taboo at this point. Jon Jones and Conor are never available nowadays
The biggest "wow" was the Kayla Harrison fight lol.
They did the best they could with what they had. If you take away the 300 I still feel like this card...
He can run but he can't hide. He can't overwhelm everyone. I'm voting for the person who didn't pull out minutes before the fight
Ricky also has a very promising future I just feel he's tougher and probably better fight IQ
Weidman looked great in the first. In the second he poked him pretty badly. Second was a much closer round for Silva. Third round Chris poked him again as Bruno hit him with a good punch. Ref declared both fighters poked each other... then later in the round Weidman landed that 1-2 poke with the...
DDP and Khamzat possess wildly different skillsets. Whitaker is bigger than Usman being a constant MW. Whitaker may not finish Khamzat but I don't think Khamzat can finish Whitaker either. I favor Rob in this one. He does very well against grappler. Khamzat has been so reclusive
He's not the GOAT
But he's pretty promising. You can talk crap about where Glover was or who Johnny Walker is but you can't expect Hill to just lie down. He's a prisoner of circumstance and imagination of his haters. I see him as a tough, athletic LHW with very deadly hands. And there's no...
In my mind she's one of the most competitive sharpest and most technical woman fighters
That Esparza Re was such a headscratcher man. I'm glad she got her hand raised though. Amanda is a difficult matchup
It's hard not to compare him to Sean O'Malley with that Wolfmother afro, the tats and style. I feel like he's a little more promising athletically but again doesn't have the zoomer fan base
This is gonna sound extremely pretentious and premature but he sort of reminds me of Anderson. He is...
Edmen proved me wrong. Took some good offense and found a nice TKO. I'm happy to see him turn it around a little but even if he didn't look great
Talbott might be the real deal. Always seems to rise to the occasion. Sort of sucks on the mic though
Jiris best defense is his best offense
He will never go out there and measure someone out, pick them off from afar. He's there to force his will nearly all the time. That's what made this fight so fun
Cutelaba isn't a "can", but I feel he's pretty limitted skill wise. He tries to maul people with punches or TDs and if he can't he usually doesn't win. Johnny Walker is... Johnny Walker. He improves yeah but his best work is stuff wildly damaging and unpredictable. When people can anticipate him...
