The DC thing is whatever, the two of them love to call each other out. He really shouldn’t be phased by Adesanya right now though. Jones has looked just as good as ever whereas Adesanya, while showing some amazing heart and endurance, had some serious holes in his striking game exposed last time around. Kelvin was very close to ending that fight more than once. Jones is longer, stronger, and more diverse than Kelvin. He may very well pull an upset on Robert (I hope not) but I don’t think he could stand with Jones by any means.

 

DC not wanting to drop weight because he's scared is rich considering Jon could just as easily take that fight at heavyweight, but whatever, they love to needle each other. He'd blow through Adesanya with ease.

 

Yeah Jon is smart, he knows his odds of winning go down significantly if he moves up in weight to fight DC

 

How does everyone feel about Askren/Masvidal?

 

Love this dude

 

Gut feeling, for no real reason, I think Masvidal beats him.

That said, Ben wins, he gets the title shot.

 

I think Ben will have an easier time with Masvidal than he did with Lawler, but that's just me.

However I am really looking forward to seeing Robbie ragdoll Colby. (if we're lucky)

 

What's everyone thinking for the card this weekend? for the final 3 fights with fighters i'm familiar with, i'm saying Ngannou, Benavidez, and Maia.

 

I think one of those three will lose, can't really say which one though. Ngannou is probably my surest bet to win though.

 

I would guess Maia. If he gets into his rhythm, he’s pretty unstoppable. But if somebody makes him suffer or work hard early in a fight he has more issues recovering nowadays. Last fight is hard to judge cause I don’t think that guy stood a chance to begin with.

 

Currently at Disney World and watched one of the Lion King shows. Who sits directly behind me? None other than Ariel Helwani.

 

Nice to see Anders back in the win column especially with a huge KO like that. Awful stoppage though. Wtf was that ref thinking?

 

Great fight! That elbow by Ramos was so clean and beautiful.

 

Tuning in now. Should be a fun main card.

 

Menifield looking great tonight. They're doing a great job of building the LHW roster lately.

 

About to watch Francis launch Junior's head to outer space

 

JDS was scared, felt the power, and quit.

 

Well that was quick lol

 

damn

 

Welp

 

Francis looked slim and ripped for this fight; lots of power, but also really quick. I think he now has the skills and confidence to take down Stipe, and provide a really good match for DC
