Huh. Well, that's....surprising. Can't say I'm not stoked to see Khalil get a title shot though. That's amazing and will definitely be a striking war. I think Khalil can get it done, honestly.
Khalil can put his lights out 100%. I think Alex finds his chin first though. Them not booking Alex vs Ank is insane though.
I feel like the UFC has been holding a grudge against him ever since that vacant title fight that ended in a draw. Dana, in particular, was so pissed about how boring it was. Doesn't help he only fought one time in the following year and it was a No Contest lol.
307 is a banger. We also get Harrison/Veiera, Sterling/Evloev, Aldo/Bautista, Holland/Dolidze and Wonderboy/Buckley. What a card.
Not sure if there’s many grappling fans in here but the Craig Jones Invitational starts in about 30 minutes. Free on YouTube: largest prize pool ever for a BJJ tournament. some of the best grapplers in the world passed on ADCC (also this weekend) to compete in this instead Under 80kg may be the most stacked bracket for a grappling tournament ever
That might ACTUALLY be the worst scorecard I’ve ever seen. 29-28 is already kinda bad but meh maybe they saw something I didn’t… but every round for Tuivasa? Fire that dude ASAP if it wasn’t a misread. Edit: Shit judge got canned at least lol
Finney is a dominant wrestler but he needs to show more than just that. That said, last night was a weird fight against a guy 6" taller so grappling was his best bet. Hope to see him again soon. I didn't think Dana would give Romious a contract but he was a lot of fun to watch. The dude is all energy with no fight IQ.
This dude in the TUF middleweight finals just got finished in the crucifix and I have to say that is definitely the worst position to be in lol
Bo Nickal vs Paul Craig at MSG I know Paul hasn’t looked great but that’s a dangerous fight. Craig randomly submits guys way better than him lol
Paul "Michael Johnson" Craig definitely has an outstanding resume despite being mostly a middle-of-the-road guy overall lol.
Craig is dangerous but I would have liked to see Bo get a ranked opponent, especially since this will be his 2nd straight main card at a big PPV event
