I don't think picking against the UFC middleweight GOAT is a good idea.

I think it pretty arguably between Silva and Izzy being middleweight GOAT, even tho I don’t really give a **** about the conversation at this point because it don’t matter, all that matter is both Silva and Izzy are all time great of the sport

Edit: I don’t think having a win over a 43 year old version of Anderson who has lost most of his fights as of recent is that big of an achievement

Im not going to put stock in a win over a 43 year old who lost most of his recent fights in a GOAT debate, think it real unfair to discredit Anderson for not retiring early 

Anderson Silva is one of Izzy least impressed ufc win on his resume honesly , Izzy fought all killer, and no filler,

Izzy has fought at least 3 Ww one natural lightweight.
All out of their prime and could not beat Anderson convincingly.
Andersons resume speaks for itself till  career ending injuries.

While I'd personally love to see KKF vs. Kape over 5 rounds, I still think it's a great co-main. Just make Tai vs. Volkov the main event and get 1 or 2 more fights on the prelims and this card is set.

I mean, this card is in just over a month. This might actually be all we get. I thought Brad Riddell might return on this card. It could definitely use him.
