    It was one of those cards that was better than it looked on paper

    Usman is building a hell of a record. I know everyone is talking about rematches for Usman - Jorge, Covington, Edwards (a long time ago). The fight I want to see is against Thompson.

    I expect Usman would still win but I think that style makes for an interesting matchup. Other welterweight's aren't as comfortable fighting at range.. it's a slightly different test. Also he's the highest ranked WW that he hasn't fought

    Adesanya is going for the LHW belt this weekend. Trying to be a two division champ at the same time

    Here's the hype video

    Some AB stuff midway through (from the Eden Park Bledisloe last year)

    Can't wait

    Think Jan is very underappreciated despite being champion

    I think Jan gets the W by KO.

    Nunes commits murder in the ring.

    Sterling controls the position for 5 rounds and gets the strap.

    Agreed on first two.

    The odds seem off on the Adesanya fight. He's special but this is a hell of a challenge. All the other two belt champion went up 10lbs. Izzy is going up 20lbs. Plus its the smaller octagon size

    I have it as a 50/50. Genuinely no idea.

    The womens 145 division is a joke. I'll cheer for Megan but this should not be a contest

    I have Yan over Sterling. I just think Yan will catch him with something significant at some stage

    So many good fights on this card. Another tough one to pick is KKF v Bontorin. If Kara-France wins he might be one win away from a title shot.. if he loses he might drop out of the top 10

    @duluth KKF throws bombs but he's open for them too. His ground game isn't on par with alot of the fighters in his division. But I like him and he's a kiwi so I hope he does the job.

    Pretty boy needs a good showing too.

    Hopefully he'll be ok. Apparently the UFC gave Bareman 5-6 opponents and he was able to pick. The UFC is going to look after someone as marketable as Ulberg (at least initially)

    The faceoff were good today.

    Jan and Izzy were respectful. Izzy pointed out that Jan had a cut. Jan said "yeah a little bit" or words to that affect.

    Megan looks fucking enormous. She had heels on but she looks gigantic compared to Nunes. If she wins she saves the division. If she loses see you later feather weights. Also Megan's last fight on her current contract.

    Yan and Sterling face off had a bit of venom. Yan turned up in his fight gear lol. He's ready. May need to change my pick on that one.

    Jan left hook leaning back looks the punch thatll cause the most damage. He seems to get everyone with it. Izzy Caught Gastelum, Whitaker and Costa in the pocket where they all the threw similar. But they didn't have his power. Whittaker actually landed it. I think if Izzy is there in that range he'll crumble.

    In an interview Adesanya claimed he’ll probably weigh in ~193lbs
