Would like to see who magomed is facing next, Smith? Johnny Walker? Not Rakic just yet.

That was deserved they acted like the last knockout was a fluke or he was playing possum when he was actually hurt. Basically taking his win away from him

@Chow you restaurant in LA is packed full of people watching the UFC... even though LA is under lockdown because of the “Rona” I was in LA and San Diego two weeks ago, restaurants are all closed down?

Ankalaev would starch Rakic 1st round.

Rakic is over rated AF.

@MMASensei I don’t know about easily, but I’m not sure why you got downvoted he’s certainly looked like championship material.

@Tieoken all you gotta do is provide the exact quote where I stated that is "full of the people watching UFC" RIGHT NOW at this moment. Not where I said its rammed with people during PPVs (because of course there were PPVs when there wasn't lockdowns". Thats all you gotta do, just provide the exact quote and I'll answer the question. So much for trying to be a smartass.

@Chow

I think Ankalev starches all 3 of those guys honestly man. Smith hasnt been the same after the glover beating...Jonny Walker is getting tagged in every fight lately...and Rakic is gonna get popped when he faces someone in the top.

What about Jiri vs Ankalev?

Its been a long time since the LHW division has had so much potential, there's like 5 or 6 names that can be champ. So stacked it is right now and thats not just because Jones has left.
