I refuse to watch Anderson get KTFO into retirement tonight. 


I grew up (ok i was already in high school but you get the idea) watching him walking away KO Forrest and triangle Shael then front kick Vitor and had floor seats next to Dennis Siver with my best bud from high school at the disappointing 148 card when we were 19 so I'm not watching him get Liddell'ed and you can't make me

******* TRAGIC 

If this is true, I am amazed. But MMA FNL has been accurate in the past.

It's rather convenient Whittaker waits until fight day to reveal a hernia, So they can't make an interim title with Gastelum vs Adesanya

Whittaker vs. Gastelum
Robert Whittaker, DEC
so unfortunate this was cancelled, the card is even more garbage than it was prior.

Silva vs. Adesanya
Israel Adesanya, DEC
can't wait for the inevitable clown-off and i hope the crowd boos. i didn't think anderson beat brunson and that'd make his last "real" win over 6 years ago. his chin isn't suspect though so i think he survives to hear the judges' scores.

Yahya vs. Simón
Rani Yahya, SUB, R1
the odds on this one kind of confuse me and it seems the community agrees. simon got dragged around by merab and yahya is gonna do the same without getting caught.

Kassem vs. De La Rosa
Montana De La Rosa, SUB, R2
kassem was competitive with chalmers and that's not really a good sign. montana has shown that she's dangerous.

Crute vs. Alvey
Sam Alvey, DEC
despite the nog ko, i'm not ready to say alvey is donezo and he's still a huge step up from paul craig.

Hyun Ma vs. Smith
Dong Hyun Ma, DEC
lil kim changed his name i guess? screw it, i'll say he works his way past the range and makes it a grind.

Arnett vs. Young
Shane Young, DEC
what a weak card. i guess i'll go with young since all but one of his losses have been to ufc vets.

Kara-France vs. Paiva
Raulian Paiva, DEC
i'll bite on this one. i like kai, but i feel like paiva's propensity to see scorecards will play a factor.

Ishihara vs. Kang
Kyung Ho Kang, DEC
no idea what to make of teruto anymore, but i'm not sure he's gonna get the chance to unload a big punch here and that doesn't bode well for his chances of winning.

Vannata vs. Rosa
Lando Vannata, DEC
this is clearly designed to be a bounce back for vannata because marcos does not at all seem to belong here. everyone is expecting "vintage" lando with a fancy ko, but i'll go against the grain and say this one ends up boring and gassy.

Turner vs. Potter
Jalin Turner, TKO, R2
i really wanted to say that potter finds turner's chin, but i think he might just be at too big of a size disadvantage to stay in the pocket.

Buren vs. Martinez
Jonathan Martinez, DEC
i'm actually kind or surprised that buren is getting a third chance, really not sure he should be on the roster. martinez falls in to the same category, but i have slightly more faith in him. all this said, this fight could still go in any direction because it's essentially a regional fight.

you know what though boys? Anderson Silva vs Israel Adesanya as the main event is worth the price of admission. I am more excited about this fight than I was the title defense.

@buffalo ben gotta agree. I am very disappointed but I woulda bought this card with adesanya silva as the main event. Like I said earlier Whittaker is too fragile. @fish sorry bud I feel your pain.
