Cos he knew if Izzy blitzed Anderson that he’d get skipped over. But since it went the distance it’s hard to know what’ll happen.
Silva looked fine. That was a fun fight I think Izzy will really struggle with someone that puts constant pressure on him (Romero would be a nightmare)
Cause it’s the only chance he’s gonna get to hold one. Izzy vs Silva kinda underwhelmed me. I’m so glad I didn’t buy the ppv. I don’t believe in the rigging of fights, but I think Israel pulled some punches/kicks. I don’t think he wanted to really hurt Silva because he respects him as much as he does. Silva had a few gotcha moments, but ultimately just did more of his awkward “I’m getting punched and I’m winning” showboat fight. Amazing fighters. Cool fight to see. I’d like to see him retire now.
Lol I think Aljos had been tweeting about seeing a lot of “matrix” shit leading up to the fight. Good timing on Al’s part though, literally within the same minute slightly before. Also, got a good laugh out of this one.
The more I think about it, that main event last night was like a pro wrestling match. I was entertained for sure, but they could of talked extensively what they would do beforehand. There were interesting spots but there was no real damage done either way.
Can’t believe that Cain is back. I can’t believe it’s also not a bigger deal at the moment. He’s coming back and fighting a powerhouse in his prime. Should honestly be on a PPV but I’m glad it’s not considering how those have been going so far this year.
If I were to bet, I’d put it on Ngannou. He’s got the range and looked very good against Blaydes. Long layoffs never help anyone either. If Cain is gonna get the win I think he’ll have to take him to the ground which has proven to be no easy obstacle.
Yeah Ngannou had a MAJOR learning moment in the Lewis fight and he seems to have made the very necessary adjustments, it will definitely be interesting to see his conditioning though. His last fight only went 45 seconds.
Im going with Ngannou but I wouldn't be surprised if Cain won. Thats a great fight. I'm also really hype for MVP vs. Paul Daley.
