Cuz if he wins all of you will look silly. and fighters fight. Especially when healthy. Can we stop feeling sorry for grown-men please? That's not something respectable people do, feel sorry. How many of you kept dragging on about how Frankie shouldn't be fighting blah blah blah blah blah blah. Maia's a grown man. He'll do what he wants to.

Oh yeah. My bad.

Isn't woodley still injured/recovering from knee surgery?

I'm not surpised WB isn't taking it. He will do his level best to avoid elite wrestlers as much as possible henceforth IMO. Til is a better prospect for him by far, even on Til's home Soil.

Still, I can't care about this fight very much. Masvidal vs Usman would have been better, or Lawler vs Usman.

Lawler & Masvidal probably weigh 220 pounds right now.

Yea Masvidal is not even close to 220. He likely not even 200 pounds. He prob more like 185-190 and that completely out of camp.

I concur, looks like a bad fight for Maia, unless Usman gasses bad late in the fight perhaps.

Prediction: correct Usman   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

Usman lets Maia wear himself out shooting for takedowns for 2 rounds. Round 3 Usman grinds him against the cage. At the start of round 4, Maia walks to the center of the octagon and collapses due to exhaustion.

I'm not taking anything away from Maia, but it's an MMA Fact that once you hit 40 you are automatically going to go on a 3 fight losing streak. I'm just saying.
