The altercations set it up perfectly and Khamzat said he wants to run thru 170 and 185, best way to prove it would be Costa. And than Khamzat's stock would explode 📈📈

the way Ariel described what happened backstage just reminds me of emotionally fueled scuffles in the gym locker rooms back in the high school days lol
boys will be boys but goddamn they're grown ass men and professionally trained fighters and they get a bunch of dumb pointless words get them so riled up. Now I know why Woodley always walked around backstage with those giant ass headphones, dude is cutting weight and just doesn't want to be bothered by anyone lol

lol everyone should have kept the stories and videos hidden and just exaggerated everything until weeks/months down the road, now everything that keeps coming out is making all these "tough guys" and "disciplined martial artists" look like ******* clowns
With the presser being cancelled and all this drama being basically just a bunch of arguing and pushing, this card NEEDS to deliver now. I just don't see how any of this "helps" sell the card. Like who is motivated to pay $75 for a PPV when these guys wanted to fight for free 2 days out?

Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R1
Nate's that guy who
Li vs. Ferguson
Jingliang Li, DEC
Super quick turnaround for the Leech but I still like him against a declining Cucuy. I know T-Ferg looked good in the Chandler fight, but I think Gaethje broke him; he doesn't have the edge that he used to. I've always loved Jingliang's high inside leg kick and I think it'll help grind out a win here.
Holland vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R3
I don't understand the D-Rod fade from Tapology... I would think that the reach advantage scares people but Holland doesn't touch from a distance, he lunges in with power. Maybe the age? but it's not like he's been through war after war; camp after camp. I think D-Rod has really solid defense all around; constantly moves his head, ready to roll with shots, good checks, good guard, solid takedown defense. Has a great inside leg kick similar to the one that Cowboy Oliveira was tripping up Holland with. Most importantly, he has a nasty left straight that I think will eventually find the chin of Holland and sit him. Holland moves his head back from jabs, but is susceptible to the follow-up straight. I'm happy to take D-Rod as a dog on the books.
Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, TKO, R2
I hate betting on Heavyweight fights, but if I'm going to mush the pick, let it be to the 5'9" dude who throws spinning ****. I'm assuming Collier will overwhelm Barnett before Barnett's leg kicks can do any effective damage. But who knows, it's a low level Heavyweight fight; anything can happen. I should learn my lesson about betting these already but I'm addicted.

Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R2
I'll take the guy with awkward intensity over the guy with a sus chin. Should be a banger

Julian Erosa, SUB, R3
Call me optimistic or call me crazy, but one things for certain, Julian Erosa is a ******* beast as of late. That Peterson fight was a slugfest and could've went either way, but I had Erosa winning. Dude can take a lot of shots, which he's gonna have to since that's all Dawodu brings to the table. Erosa, however, is different, and he showed that in his fight against Jourdain about a year back. Dude got knocked down and still ended up submitting Charles in the third round. Point is Erosa has different ways to beat you, and Hakeem is pretty much 95% boxer. (Stand up) he's either gonna have to bring something to the table new in his arsenal or I truly believe Julian will find a way to win. I might even go place a small bet on this one.

Johnny Walker, DEC
SMH I'm gonna have to disagree with the odds again. I think this is gonna be another slugfest honestly and I think Walker takes the cake with his reach and height advantage. Ion has some luck on the ground but he's 2-3 in th3 submission game and I don't think he risks a loss going for a submission. This could be really close.

Irene Aldana, DEC
Well this one isn't gonna be on my parlay lol, because i just can't see Chiasson winning this one. If Norma Dumont landed 5-10 more decent strikes in that last fight, shed be on a two fight losing streak with only one win against a 9-8 Marion Reneau since February 2020. She hasn't impressed me much and I just think Irene is on a whole other level then her.

Luckly the fighter’s wasn't totally stupid enough to jepedize they're fights, Even if it would be funny
Also, It can be illegal to fight people outside of the octogon, Look at Masvidal, he going to lose some money for assullting Colby

what y'all really expect Costa to do to Chimaev if this fight ever(never) happens?
