Ariel saying that the Volk fight and Yan/Sterling is moving to the 273 and that 272 will be headlined by a non-title fight and was being coy with the number 305..

 

Jorge is gonna get mauled

 

He really is.

 

Yeah that’s a fight I have zero desire to see and not really worth buying a PPV for. Two guys coming off multiple losses to Usman and I see Colby taking down Jorge repeatedly.

 

Also two terrible people

 

so Dana is saying Usman vs Edwards is in the works

 

Wow. I would love to see Leon win just to make a lot of haters mad but I don’t see it happening

 

I think Leon has a shot for sure. I still kind of feel like Usman has plenty of holes in his striking which will eventually be his undoing. It’s just a matter of someone being able to deal with his wrestling (which i know is easier said than done). I kind of think Leon can stay at range, but who knows. It’s a good matchup.

 

Agree here. Think it's a great matchup now, they've both evolved so much from the first one. Like you, I think Usman has some holes in his striking, and we've all seen wrestlers fall in love with their striking when they have a little success, only to get exposed. Either way, I have high expectations if this fight gets announced.

 

How the fuck did this dude fight at MW?!

 

What a fight!

 

Yeah this is awesome. Exactly what I was hoping for given their fighting styles.

 

Calvin was so disrespected all week. Love this for him.

 

Me too. He’s probably my favorite fighter at the moment so seeing him derail a fighter on a 9 fight win streak is amazing. The mental toughness to bounce back after the Holloway loss then putting on a performance like that…wow. Dude is a monster.

 

Apparently he didn’t do contact work for six months to let himself fully heal. Smart move.

 

Giga: I’m going to run through Kattar, come through unscathed and deserve the Volk fight.

Also Giga:

 

Yeah Giga is too one dimensional and definitely has a ceiling at 145. He may beat some in the lower half of the top 10, but he is far below anyone in the top 5. Dude was way overrated based off of two wins of Cub Swanson and Barboza. Besides that he hasn’t really fought anyone. Kattar is a beast and super fun to watch so it was nice to see him bounce back.

 

A lot of it comes down to styles too. Giga clearly had trouble fighting while moving backwards and obviously those kicks don’t work that way either.

This is part of the reason I didn’t look at Kattar’s loss to Max so harshly. That was just a terrible stylistic matchup for him. Max is obviously great, but he doesn’t look like a god fighting someone like Volk or Dustin who won’t let him constantly move forward like that. It happens to all of them. That’s why I knew a vet like Kattar would be able to figure it out and bounce back. He definitely knew how to shut down a guy that other experienced fighters have had a lot of trouble with.

 

well would you look at who’s finally getting a title shot

 

Against someone he literally has no chance at beating

poor MVP lmao

 

yeah i expect it to look just like when amosov beat lima lol

 

Nunes is leaving ATT

expect the Kayla Harrison signing announcement soon

 

Keep taking those L’s Giga. What a damn fool.

Morning Report: Giga Chikadze still confident following Calvin Kattar loss: ‘If I would fight with this guy 10 times, 9 I would win’

 

I would like to see Ngannou remember his kicks
